BATTLESHIP PLANS
READY FOR BUILDER
Construction of Big Sister Warshlps,
Florida and Utah, to Be Started
simultaneously - Navy
Yards Prepared
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Designs
for the two new battleships authorized
at the last session of congress probably
will be completed and approved by
September Is. The plans for the YES
sells are now being completed in the
light of the departments of the recent
conference of naval officers at New
port. Some suggestions of changes
were made at that conference and the
changes now are being incorporated in
the designs. 1t is said that the
changes are not radical, but in the
view of the naval constructors are ma
terial to the new ships.
Upon completion of the plans they
will be submitted to President Roose-
welt for approval, and 1t is expected
that by the middle of September pro-
posals for construction for one of the
ships will be advertised for. The other
ship is to be constructed at the Brook
lyn navy yard by the government.
Pending completion and approval or
the designs of the ships, which will be
identical, no work will be done at the
Brooklyn navy yard in preparation
for the construction of the vessel which
is to be built there. This ship will be
the Florida. Her sister Ship the Utah,
will be constructed at some private
yard.
two vessels will be begun about the
same time. 1t will be necessary to ex-
tend the facilities at the Brooklyn navy
ward before work on the Florida can
be begun. as the vessel will be nearly
100 feet longer than any previously
built at that yard.

she brought a letter of introduction.
Broduch, who recently came from Ell

According to the information OBJ
tanned by the police from the girl In
her rational moments, she declared
that Broduch invited her out to din

says she accompanied him to restau-
rant on Fillmore street and during the
meal noticed that he sprinkled some
thing on her meat, which he declared
was salt.
She declares she became sick, soon
lost consciousness and woke up in
room in a lodging house. For a week,
she told the police, Broduch gave her
drugs and fearfully mistreated her.
The girl returned to Mrs. Benefits
home yesterday in a dazed condition
and apparently irrational. A physician
was summoned, who found her in such
a serious condition that the police were
Immediately notified and the young
woman taken to central emergency

HOLD
A TORRID SESSION
THREE CHARTER AMENDMENTS
SUBMITTED
WATER SYSTEM is GIVEN SOME
CONSIDERATION
other Changes In San 5ernardino's
Organic Law Readily Agreed
Upon by Members of
Committee

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 19.-After
a torrid session the charter revision
committee has finally agreed to submit
three charter amendments to the city
council. to be submitted to the voters
this fall all affecting the water de-
partment. The three propositions can
be summarized as follows:
First-That the water system shall
be left on the basis as at present, ex-
cept that the water bonds shall be paid
from the revenues of the water de-
partment.
Secondhand the water rates shall
be reduced to a point that shall pro-
vide only for the operation, mainten-
ance, renewals and extension of the
water system. That all bonds shall be
paid by a tax levy. That an emer-
gency fund of $4,000 shall be created
from the water fund that shall be
drawn on only with the consent OF the
mayor and council.
Third-That the water rates shall be
reduced to the point that shall provide
only for the operation of the water r,t +
system. That bonds shall be paid by
tax levy. That all renewals, repairs
and extensions shall be paid from
tax levy.
The water department is really the
only bone of contention in the work or
charter revision, all other changes be-
ing readily agreed to. Among them are
the increasing the wards from five to
seven and the election of members OF
the board of education at a special
election alternating with the general
city election. A park commission Is
also created to have charge or all
parks and street tree planting.
The amendments will get to vote
of the people this fall, and those which
pass will go to the legislature the
coming winter

PASADENA BRIEF NOTES

PASADENA, Aug. 19.-The residence
of Tracy Drake, 800 South Grand ave-
nue., has been sold to Charles G.

this in charge probably will be held

tion will be discussed. The financial
affairs of the association are in bad

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Aug. 19.-Consider-
able feeling is being manifested on &C
count of the enforcement of the new
ordinance with regard to vehicles
standing on the speedway. Many local
merchants are complaining that the
police are too rigorous in carrying out
the letter of the law.
A number of arrests were made to-
day and some of the victims of the
new measure are going to make a hard
fight before submitting to fine.
f. Moore was arrested for letting his
auto stand on the wrong side of the
thoroughfare and G. S. Libby suffered
the same treatment. Roy Potter, a
driver for Reed e. Young's grocery,
and a driver for the Ocean Park laun-
dry were also taken in by the police
for leaving their wagons on the wrong
side of the street.
Marshal Simpson has received a num-
Der of complaints, but says that the
law was passed and that his office
can do nothing but enforce it. There
is some talk of a petition to the board
of trustees to have the measure
amended, some of the merchants claim
ing that 1t makes it almost impossible
to do business with delivery wagon.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 19.-Inspired by
the success of the northwest section,
residents of Los Robes avenue are
starting a campaign for a street car
line.
c. r. Roberts called on Mayor Marley
this morning with the draft of petit
ton which he expected to send to the
city council, asking it to use its in
fluence with the Pacific Electric rail-
way to build a line out North Los
Robes, above Washington street.
The mayor instructed Roberts to adj
dress and send his petition to H. e.
Huntington and said the council would
then give what help it could.
Roberts is confident that nearly ev-
cry resident of the district would favor
having the car line extended to the
city limits, and did not seem deferred
by the fact that Huntington demands
$4,000 from the Lincoln avenue resi-
dents as a consideration for giving
them transportation facilities.

never been any preventive measures

PLANS ALL OVERTHROW
BY FACETI0US BULLDOG
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 19.-Because Britt,
the bulldog, took fancy to turkey
feathers, the celebration of Indian day
at Mount Wilson had to be postponed
till tomorrow.
Manager Ross of the hotel had Sc
crued a large bundle of turkey feath-
ers from Pasadena butchers and taken
them to the peak, where they were to
form the leading feature of the cele-
bration, the intention being to dis
tribute them to all the guests for pur-
poses of wear.
When Britt ran across the package
it reused his fighting blood and he
proceeded to tear 1t to tatters and
make the premises look as if a killing
had taken place.
Rush orders were sent here for
new supply of feathers and the celebra-
ton will be held on schedule time to-
morrow. There will be sports of all
kinds fitting the day, such as a war
dance, scalping bee, medicine mans
powwow and squaw race. There will
also be the more civilized events of
tug-of-war sack race, potato race, GRO
quet contest and others too numerous
to mention.
