LONG BEACH, Feb. 14.-Trustee
George Mohrenstecher, who yesterday
voted against granting the petition of
property owners to be allowed to park
the bluff and build a cement sidewalk
upon the city park lands, may bring an
injunction suit to hold up the projected
work.
In addition to giving the petitioners
the right to build a retaining wall
along the bluff the council formally
gave them permission to erect build
ings on the wall, and Furthermore, to
build a sidewalk between six and If
teen feet wide along the park property
north of the WALL the south line of the
sidewalk to be parallel with the south
line of the park.
Trustee Mohrenstecher holds that the
city should not have given this latter
privilege of building a walk upon it's
park lands, and he intends to see
whether there is not some means by
which it can be restored to Long Beach.
The petition was put in at an oppor-
tune time for those interested, accord
ing to Trustee Mohfenstecher's idea.
The matter had never been presented
to the public works committee for it's
consideration, and Trustee Lent, the
chairman of that committee, who was
bitterly opposed to any such scheme,
was unable to attend the special coun-
ell meeting which was held yesterday.

PASADENA, Feb. 1I,--The annual
report OF the Pasadena Lake Vineyard
Land and Water company, made pub
lie this afternoon, Is principally de-
voted to brief summary of the kill
ing by the administration of the plan
for a municipal water plant by re-
scinding all action previously taken
looking towards the purchase of the
local plants. The report will undoubt-
edly take a leading part in the muni-
cipal campaign now being waged. 1t
is an undisguised .oast of Mayor
Waterhouse and his alleged dilly daily
ing over the question.
1t charges that the mayor by refus
ing to state whether or not the city
would pay for permanent improvements
after price for the liant was agreed
upon seriously hindered the develop
ment of additional water and delayed
many improvements. 1t further
charges. in he following language,
that there was no legal reason why
the administration should have re-
scnded the result of the election at
which the citizens voted to issue bonds
TO buy the plants:
1T may be unnecessary runs the
report, ito recall the adoption of a
resolution by the city council annulling
all proceedings that had been taken,
despite the emphatic protest Of many
of our leading citizens who were
alarmed when the resolution was first
presented. The process of reasoning
which lead to such action is not appar-
cat, in view of the fact that very soon
after declining to take advantage of a
condition so favorable to the city and
which your directors had been at all
times ready to fulfill, a committee from
the same council asked a conference

itself to be $1,000 on the wrong side

would be made to collect from delin-

successful as others recently tried to

tirely. w. e. Gilman, H. c. Burmister

it is thought, will hold the band to-

HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
by THE EAvEsDRCPPEH
BOGUS FRENCH COUNT
SHOWS HIS TRUE NATURE

When Count Louis de Renan regis
tered last week at the Lankershim
hotel with a valet and a wagonload of
luggage he made, as the clerk eX-
pressed it, considerable of a splash.
There was no denying that the count
was a very snowy parsonage and the
bell hops Skated across the corrido'
in swarms to attend to his wants. Iht
count glanced around the office with
the blase air of man who has been
thoroughly disillusioned and has no
hopes of seeing anything of interest.
AS he signed his name on the register,
leaning on the desk, the lapel of his
coat flew back and sewed inside the
clerk saw the label Of Chicago mail
order tailoring establishment which
makes lots of clothes for high school
valedictorians and village undertakers,
but Is known not to be very strong in
the French count market. This fact,
coupled with the display of set OF 4S-
cent shirt studs caused horrible sus-
picion of the count to creep into the
mind of the wary clerk, who has seen
lots of French counts.
The count was duly installed in the
hotel and if any of the bell hops had
any doubt as to his countship they
were allayed by the liberal tips which
the stranger scattered about the place.
The count spoke broken Partisan, but
at times the clerk was convinced that
he detected a strong Arkansas accent
in it. Knowing that If the count was
bogus, he would show himself up, he
waited patiently and the count did. So
elaborately did he do so that late last
night he packed his many suit cases
and vanished out into the cold, unap-
preciative world. 1t happened this way:
The count usually returned late to
the hotel and often sat in a chair near
the desk waiting for his bedtime. OF
course a real count could not go to bed
before o'clock, and there was nothing
to do but to sit up and wait. Last night
he fell asleep, and as the clerk noted the
bourgeois features and the still more
bourgeois nasal accompaniment he was
even more convinced that the count
was faker.
Suddenly the big doors swung inward
and a man entered with two suit cases.
He registered and waited to be shown
in sight.
Front" shouted the clerk.
1.-THE count stirred uneasily in his
chair, but still the bell hops came not.
Front" yelled the clerk again.
1t was a good example of ''reversion
to type" or "atavism' or whatever
scientists call the return to early life.
The count leaped to his feet and still
rubbing his eyes slid toward the desk.
The clerk was vindicated, but couldn't
keep from laughing so loud that 1t Of
Tended the count and caused him to
leave. But the clerk says it was worth
what it cost, even if the hotel did lose

cRuTcHEs sRINe A BRIDE

The last chapter in desert romance is
being enacted in Los Angeles by Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Sullivan of Rhyolite,
New. Mrs. Sullivan has only been Mrs.
Sullivan for brief time and 1t was
minister in Salt Lake who read the
service which gave her the right.
Her husband is young fellow with
sunny face and a pair of crutches
which he laughingly declares he is
going to learn to do without. The
reason for the crutches and for the
honeymoon is the same, for without the
first it is probable the latter would
never have been.
Jack Sullivan, for everybody calls
him Jack out on the desert, fell down
the shaft of a mine a few months ago
and when he was picked up it was
feared that he would never recover
from his injuries. He was taken to the
hospital at Rhyolite of which Mrs. Sui
livan, then Mrs. Norris, was matron
With tender care she nursed him back
to health until strength came to limbs
that had long been weak, and Jack
Sullivan once more appeared in the
streets Of Rhyolite. To be sure the
crutches were also there. but Jack did
not mind crutches, he was too busy
being glad he was living.
He had not been out very long when
the matron of the hospital and the
young invalid disappeared and in the
course OF events 1t was discovered that
they had gone to Salt Lake in search
of a minister and marriage license.
They have been at the Alexandria with
Mrs SulliVan's daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs Arthur Kunze.
Arthur Kunze was the man who dis
covered Greenwater, and he Is one of

1t is reported on good authority that
George Gould visited Wilmington yes
terday in person, accompanied by Vice
President A. c. Baird of the Gould
lines, and familiarized himself with
conditions in that vicinity. If it was
George Gould who visited Wilmington

secrecy. Certain property owners at
Wilmington assert positively, however.
that 1t was he.
There have been numerous notable
transfers of real estate N the vicinity
of Wilmington lately, by which a vast
amount OF land, much of it absolutely
worthless for agricultural purposes has
been purchased by unknown parties
through a Wilmington agent. Among
the larger deals consummated within
the last few weeks were the following:
Twelve acres of water frontage, sold
for $4,000; nearly 100 acres sold by
George Peck at $3.50 an acre; thirty
acres, sold by Andrew Large at $3.50
an acre; more than 200 acres in the
Rancho Los Palos Verdes, sold at a
high figure and three ten-acre pieces
on Bixby slough. sold last week for
$2l 200. An eighteen-acre piece of
Kolkhorst's improved land could have
been sold at $1,000 an acre but was held
at $4,000.
w. d. Redburn, who owns $50 acres
near Gardena, was recently approached
by man said to be r. f. Oakley, who
asked him for a right-of-way through
this land for four-track line. This
was granted, with the understanding
that a $4,000 depot would he built on the
property. Oakley stated that within
thirty days the names of the parties
back OF the enterprise would be made
public.
