LONG BI'ACH, Dec 12.-Six of the
persons who were precipitated into the
ocean early on the afternoon of NO
vember 10 by the breaking down OF a
landing on the outer wharf today filed
claims with City Clerk Fred Baldwin
for S5516.5O damages.
The claims were filed through Jarrott
& Tyrrell Los Angeles attorneys. Those
who filed claims were: I. M. Cooper OF
Bushnell, ILL.,, who at the time OF the
accident was visiting at 1151 twentieth
street, Los Angeles; Bazel Cooper and
Bedford NJ Cooper, his sons; Mrs. E. Q.
Cooper of Lewiston, ILL.,, who was visit
ing at I'LL Pico street. Los Angeles; MIS-
Ida f. Pattison and her daughter, Miss
Emma Pattison.
These and about half dozen others
were standing on the boat landing at
the northeast corner of the outer wharf,
waiting to board the launch Eagle to
ride to the warships of the first division
of the Paclllc fleet, then at anchor in
the bay.
The swapping of a cable which held
up the outer end of the landing sent
them all into the water BY the quick
action of boatmen, the wharfinger and
others all we're rescued and several, in
GLIDING thesS who have asked for dam
ages, were cared for by Captain and Mrs.
Baettge at the warfinger's cabin, We're
given medical attention and were pro-
vided with dry clothing. All were able
to walk from the end of the pier an
hour after the accident.
The following letter was addressed to
the city clerk by the claimants attor-
neys:
I'VE beg leave to submit herewith
statements of damages and loss sus-
tanned Sunday, November 10, by T. M.
Cooper ct al. These statements have
been carefully itemiZed as you will OBJ

ION behalf of these clients we desire

the letter:

damage to clothing. s27.5O; paid warfing
er for attentions to wife, So; damages

pay the damages asked for and believe
that if a suit is brought the claimants
cannot recover, at least in the amounts
demanded.

landing used by the fishermen and not
generally utilized by the public AS all
the regular landings were crowded on
the day in question. the first of the
