BOATS DAMAGED BY
HIGH OCEAN WAVES
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Feb. "a south
easter has thrown the waters OF tne
bay into a turmoil and the waves ana
combers are surging high along the
coast. Being warned that the storm
would increase in fury the board OF
public works this afternoon had a
wagon of oil taken upon the outer
wharf and the oil was poured upon the
water around the rier to protect tnat
structure from possible damage.
The ocean was quite rough yesterday
afternoon and the boats returning rom
San Pedro could scarcely land their
passengers on the pier. The, Music
one OF the boats owned by the pa
mond Boat company, was slshIly
wrecked by being beaten against the
wharf. Two women on the boat became
so seasick they were carried asnotS
and taken in carriages to their apart
ment houses. 90
Last night and today two lnches OF
rain fell, bringing the season preelPi-
tation up to S.31, as against wv the
same time last year. Many OF the
street corners were flooded with water
this morning. Considerable damage
was done in Hart court by the burst
ing of the American avenue slorlh

HOMES THREATENED
BY OCEAN WAVES
DAMAGE DONE BY TIDE AT BEACH
RESORT
Easements Are Filled with Water and
for Time 1t Was Feared Houses
Would Be Carried
Away
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Feb. 3,-With a seven-foot
tide sweepinT the sea high inland, con-
siderable damage was wrought this
morning along the beach front between
Windward avenue and Carroll street,
threatening for a time to not only
overflow the easements of many houses
IN that section, but to do even a
greater and more serious damage to
the cottages by tearing away porches
and stems.
Fortunately the tide was unaccom-
panied by wind, and it's force was not
so great 1t otherwise would have
been. AS it was, the heavy waves and
breakers dashed with such force
against the sloping beach that within
short time they had eaten away
many tons of the sand and had formed
bulkhead which in many places was
seven and eight feet below the side
walk.
Standing in direct line with the
ocean and unprotected by q bulkhead,
the home of DR.. Keller of Los Angeles
suffered the greatest damage from the
tide, which, when at it's highest point,
swept up the beach and over the
porch o. the house. The basement was
filed with the water and for time it
was feared the force of the waves
would tear out the steps and porch.
Mrs. Charles Wellington Rand's
home, two doors away at 271S Ocean
Front, also was threatened with seri-
Gus damage, which was averted by the
receding of the tide. The home of
V. Doll at 1907 ocean Front and of c..
M. Young at 2207 Ocean Front were
endangered, and the tide, which en-
croached within few feet of the
steps, formed a high embankment of
sand directly III front of the houses.

LONG BEACH, Feb 3.-Unseparated
through long and eventful lives, Thos.
G. Holmes and Robert S. Holmes of 235

They are hale and hearty, although

Both have retentive memories and
talk brightly of the past.
Resemble Each Other
y The twins resemble each other great
ly, to an extent which is remarkable
considering their age. Both have how-
ing white boards and are venerable APP
Dearing.
The Holmes twins are from good old
Norman stock and have traced their
ancestry back to members of William

Born in Ontario, then known as
Upper Canada, they moved to Albion
Mimi, in 1853 and built of logs the first

FIRE BONDS
DEFEATE
KINNEY FACTION WINS BITTER
FIGHT
ISSUE DEFEATED BY TWO TO
ONE VOTE
Guns Are Fired and Whistles Blown
by Winners in Honor of Victory.
Rains Cause Light Vote
to Be Cast

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Feb. 3.-The Good
Government league and the Venice
chamber of commerce. both recognized
as representing the Abbot Kinney end
of the bitter beach controversy, rout-
ed the opposition, of which the present
city government is the recognized head,
by defeating the proposed fire bonds
today by practically to l vote.
Two propositions were submitted.
First, the expenditure of $4,000 equip
ment This was voted down by
1853 to Ga.
The second proposition was to spend
$4,000 for lots and buildings. This was
beaten by vote of 157 to 60.
1t was expected by the opponents OF
the bonds to beat them by vote of
to 1, but bad weather prevented many
from going to the polls. Under the aus
pieces of the chamber of commerce
twenty-five guns were fired tonight and
all the Kinney whistles were blown in
honor of the victory
Much interest was manifested in the
special election and the polling place
at Brooks avenue and Ocean front was
the center of attention during the en-
tire day OF itself the defeating or
carrying of the Gre bonds was a ques-
ton of only small moment, the fight
being primarily one of political import
between the Fraser and the Jones and
the Kinney factions.
Opposition Bitter
While certain of the voters worked
against the bonds because they be-
lieved the present fire protection an
ample one and favored in case of neces-
sity the adoption of the salt water
pressure Improvement, which is fos-
tered by the Kinney faction, yet many
citizens voted with the opposition
through a bitter animosity against the
present board of trustees, to whom
they have stated they would not en-
trust the expenditure of the funds.
Unusually bitter was the fight at the
polls today, and citizens meeting on the
temporary ground of neutrality to cast
their votes frequently fell into heated
arguments.
Undoubtedly a better and more ade-
quate fire protection is needed for
Ocean Park and Venice and the defeat
of the bond issue today may work a
hardship upon the citizens. inasmuch
as the factional quarrel on the question
and that of the approaching election
will mean a postponement of the i'm
provement, and while a settlement or
compromise is being effected leave the
city endangered in case of fire.
