POSTOFFICE CHANGES
McLachIan Blamed for Agitation tc
Degrade Them to Sub-statons,
While =Ievating Ocean Park
to Central Point
Especial to The Herald.l

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 21.-The citi-
zens@ of the entire beach are greatly
agitated over the rumor that the three
postoffices, Santa Monica, Ocean Park
and Venice are to be consolidated,
Santa Monica and Venice being made
sub-stations only, and free delivery
being from Ocean Park as the central
office
The wires have been kept hot for the
last two days with kilograms to the
senators and representatives from this
state, urging that the matter be ad-
justed without wiping two Offices off
the map
Said a prominent official of Santa
Monica, "The Santa Monica postof-
flee, which has been in existence over
a third of a century, serves a greater
number of people than the offices of
Ocean Park and Venice combined, and
we will not submit to be side-tracked
in this matter"
Abbot Kinney likewise was indig-
nant' when seen by a representative
of the Herald, and expressed himself
in no mild form regarding the move
ment.
Their scheme" said he, was to
make Ocean Park the central office,
and Santa Monica and Venice the sub
stations. They had it all framed up,
but we cannot submit to such an ar
rangement."
That one postal inspector recon-
mends Ocean Park as the main Of
flee and Venice and Santa Monica as
sub-stations, and that this was ap-
proved by Representative James Nc
Lachlan is asserted at all three busi-
ness centers on the beach.

REOPENS CONTROVERSY
ON QUESTION OF SEWER

SANTA MONICA. Oct. 21.-The
sewer controversy which has ragged
between this city and Ocean Park
more or less regularly for several
years past was revived again today,
when Justice J. c. Steele filed the
following notice with the city treas
urer:
"To Mr.. Ralph Bane, City Treasurer
of the City of Santa Monica:
You are hereby notified that, as a
citizen and taxpayer of the city of
Santa Monica, 1 will resist any at
tempt on your part to pay that GER
tain warrant No. 1882 in favor of the
city of Ocean Park, and dated Oct.
10, 1908. And you are hereby further
notified that any attempt on your part
to pay said warrant will render you or
your bondsmen personally liable; that
said warrant is illegal and void, in
that the city council is without au-
thority to use the funds of this fiscal
year to pay debts incurred prior to
this fiscal year. and in that the al
legged agreement between the city of
Santa Monica and the city of Ocean
Park, under which said money is
claimed to be due, is illegal and void,
in that neither the city of Santa
Monica nor the city of Ocean Park
have the right or authority to contract
with each other for the disposal of
the municipal sewage.
-. C. STEELE"
The council several months ago
passed a warrant for $4,000 in favor of
Ocean Park and Steele and w. S.
Vawter filed a protest at the time,
which led to the cutting of the sewer
by President I-alkins of the Ocean
Park trustees.
The matter has been in the courts
for several months past and was
finally compromised by the council
passing a warrant last Monday even
ing for $4,000, as payment in full.
The action of Judge steele today will
make it necessary for the city or
ocean Park to enter suit for the pay
ment once more.

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 21.-The first step
toward anneXing the northern portion
of this city to the city of Los Angeles
was taken today when a petition ask
ing the board of trustees to call an
election for the purpose of voting on
the exclusion from the present NUM-
cipal corporation of all that portion
north of the south line of Fifth street
was circulated among the business men
for signatures
A census of the city, taken during
the past few weeks, shows approxi-
mately 2400 population south of Fifth
street and 1900 in the north end of town.
There are $40 electors registered. of
which number 510 live on the south
side and 300 on the north side of the
line. Boosters" for the movement TO
join the northern portion to Los An
geles, by means of the 'shoestring
strip stated today they expected to
get 30 per cent of the electors in the
north end to vote in favor of the move
ment and rs per cent in the southern
portion.
"This seems to be the only method by
which we can join Los Angeles" said
one enthusiast Legislation, so far,
has failed and probably will fail again;
but if the people will come forward and
help us to secure the support of Los
Angeles Dy means OF the only dNdildpiS
method which we have at present the
future of our city is assured"
Another earnest worker for the prop
osition put it even more forcibly when
he said: 1.-THE people of San Pedro
have become disheartened and dis
gusted by the inactivity of those to
whom the water front has been granted,
relative to the improvement of their
franchises. But, realizing the possi-
bilities which present themselves for
the improvement of that part of the
west basin of our inner harbor, which
is within our own city limits, We are
anxious to get Los Angeles to help us in
making this Improvement. To secure
this help we must annex. This is i'm
possible under the present law. We,
therefore, wish to divide the city so as
much of it as possible can be annexed
to Los Angeles. The people are familiar
with the situation and realize that we
must have the assistance of Los An
geles in order to make this a harbor;
and I think we will have no difficulty
in getting a majority of the voters to
sign our petitions in both districts and
to vote for the proposition"

Hoag, called upon Pacific Electric Of
ficials in Los Angeles yesterday TO
learn what steps the company would
undertake looking to the grading of
American avenue. north to Anahelm
street, and the reduction of the 10
cent fare to Hill street to five cents.
The trolley company officials said
the grading would not be done as de-
sired, because it would lead to such
promiscous crossing of their right-of-
way that the high speed of their cars
could not be maintained They also
stated that the fare could not be re-
duced as requested, BECAUSE the pre-
cedent of cutting the fare to five cents
in the case of new additions to NUM-
cipalities would prove a dangerous pre-
cedent.

Some hope of the system being in
creased to four tracks from Watts to

SAILORS MUTINY AND
BEAT MATE SEVERELY
LEAVE HIM SENSELEsS ON
DECK OF SHIP ARYAN
Warrants Issued for Arrest of Sixteen
Members of the Crew-lnjuries
May Prove to Be
Serious
Especial to The Herald ]


LONG BEACH, Oct 21.-J. A. Lund,
first mate on the schooner Aryan, was
beaten and left unconscious on the deck
of the ship this afternoon at West
Long Beach by members of the crew.
He suffered severe bruises about the
head, decorations of the right ear ana
forehead, and painful bruises at the
back of his neck. His injuries, 1t is
feared, may be more serious than
they at first appeared to be.
Lund came to Long Beach tonight
with Patrolman McGown of West Long
Beach, and Judge Hart issued sixteen
warrants for the arrest of the. MEM
bers of the crew of the Aryan. The
warrants will be served tomorrow.
Four of the crew, whose first names
are said to be Harry, Carl julius ana
Wilhelm, but whose last names were
unknown to the first mate. are said
to have attacked Lund today as he
was passing the forecastle, He de-
Tended himself as best he could. The
captain, A. Whittier, and the second
mate. Dietrich, were in other parts
of the vessels at the time. Regalnlng
consciousness Lund went ashore and
called in Patrolman McGown to pre-
serve order.
The Aryan sailed from Baltimore
with a cargo of coal, and after a voy-
age of ia days came into the bay last
Saturday. She is docked at the Salt
Lake wharf. The Aryan is three
master. Her crew consists of sixteen
men.
This was Lund's first trip with the
vessel. He embarked at New York,
where his family live. On the jour
ney around the Horn, he said, the
sailors did not act in the most orderly
manner.
1t is feared tonight that Mate Lund
might have suffered injuries of the
skull that would prove serious. He
remained at police headquarters to-
night and a physician was called to
attend him. He is a man about As
years of age.
