TIME OF SAN PEDRO

by Government Engi=

The time of meeting for the harbor
hearing to be held in the San Pedro
city hall January IA, has been changed
from 1890 p. m. to Is p. m. Capt. Amos
Fries has sent out this official notifica-
tion. Los Angeles, San Pedro. Whining
ton and Long Beach are alike interested
in this project, which affects them all.
Upon the report of the United States en-
gineers will depend whether the present
appropriation for the harbor will be ex-
tended and thus the work continued. In
other words, when the present appropria-
ton is exhausted in eighteen months, and
should the work be abandoned, Los An
geles will become an isolated city, with
no share in the immense two-ocean trade
of the Panama canal.

sewers in the Ninth and Sixth wards,
and that the latter alone would be use
less until the completion of the Slauson
avenue drain. But aside from any
question as to the wisdom of the lat
ter's construction prior to work in
other wards he asserted that all the
sewers provided for in the bond issue
should share proportionately in the
money left in the treasury.
He declared his belief that the money
appropriated to Boyle Heights would
be restored to the treasury at the next
meeting of the council. but he urged
the members of the realty board and
other citizens from the wards west OF

and express themselves on the subject.

TO WAGE WARFARE
ON REALTY SHARKS
PROSECUTOR FLEMING SOUNDS
KEYNOTE
Inscriptions Fakers Who Prey on
the Poor and Ignorant Are
TO Be Driven from
Business

Punishment for those who sell real
estate on false pretenses, who take
money for lots to which they can give
no title and for mortgages on virtually
worthless property is the Keynote of a
campaign to be waged by the realty
board of this city and by the state
realty federation. This keynote was
struck by Prosecuting Attorney e. ].
Fleming at the realty boards regular
meeting yesterday.
With the counsel and cooperation OF
the board Mr.. Fleming declared ne
could draw a bill which would effectu-
ally put a stop to the operations of the
takers and sharks who at present bring
into disrepute among the poor and
ignorant, an honorable business. After
relating instances in his experience of
the victimizing of women and men by
"scoundrels who pretend to response
bility." Mr.. Fleming declared that in
no instance had he received complaints
about any of the reputable realty firms
such as make up the membership of
the board Nearly all of those accused
were comparatively newcomers from
the east and all were questionable o
characters. up to all tricks and often
possessing more knowledge of the law
affecting their business than the prose-
cutting officers. at whose efforts TO
punish them they merely laughed.
Methods of VictImlzlng
One method of victimizing the un-
wary is to purchase virtually worth
less land, mortgage it to a confederate
at a high valuation and sell the mort
gage to some innocent investor. b. ].
Hazard of unsavory fame, he said was
one of a gang operating in this way
with property near Corona. He al
luded also to the sale of lots by firms
or corporations whose assertion of
ownership rested on contracts to de-
liver the property at some indefinite
time and conditioned upon the per-
formance of various acts which often
the vendors of the lots had no intention
of fulfilling. Mr.. Fleming stated his
conviction that 1t would be feasible to
provide severe punishment for selling
or Offering for sale property to which
the vendor, did not possess title unless
the money received should be placed In
trust, as is the practice almost In
variably with the reputable dealer. He
urged the assistance of the board In
bringing the matter to the attention or
the next legislature.
Mr.. Fleming also spoke of the need
for an aroused public conscience and
declared that we, should have a better
city IL the civic organizations would
unite in demanding that unlawful prac-
tices cease and he asked the members
of the board to assist in ferreting out
those responsible for violations of law

Mr.. Fleming, to whose fearless work
on behalf of the right he paid high
compliment Mr. Wallace went at
length into the matter of the sppro-
priation of $4,000 for sewers In Boyle
Heights. He declared this absolutely
indefensible and utterly unjust to
other portions of the city. He urged,

Mr. Horsman shot himself Tuesday af-

Mr.. Horsman had confided his troubles

said:

myself and family, but I think she is
living in the city under the assumed

relatives of the dead man from the east
there will be a desperate fight against
her to make her relinquish her claims on
the property of the dead man or establish
her innocence of having inveigled him out

If there was no law against

that a sense Of common deceney

would preclude the possibility Of
