TELLS HOW WRIGHT
HELPED SAN PEDRO
ATTORNEY MCCLURE REPORTS
ON HARB0R VICTORY
Army Engineers, Laboring Under Mis-
information, Discouraged Progress
Till New War Secretary APP
piled Steam Roller

City Attorney Frank d. Mcclure of
Wilmington, just back from WASH
ington, declares that the approval OF
the harbor engineers report anent San
Pedro would probably have been long
delayed if he had not repeatedly ana
carefully explained the situation to
war department officials. Some OF the
latter were unwilling to give the re-
port the right of way.
Mr.. Mcclure found that somebody
had been industriously befogging the
situation in the Washington engineers
office, but the timely arrival of the
Biddle- -Fries-Lee report won the day.
For instance, Major Cavanaugh, as
sistant to General Marshall, chief OF
engineers, bore the impression that
the disputed tidelands were merely
marshes over which at places teams
could be driven.
Mr.. Mcclure produced an official
map of 1899 showing the depth of wa
| ter in Wilmington bay. The fact is
there is several feet of water here
at all times and navigable channels
penetrate it even at low tide.
Secretary Luke E. Wright who
seemed to be anxious to cut the Cor
dian red tape, issued an order on
Major Cavanaugh to produce the tide
land quit claims that ostensibly had
been filed 1t then developed that the
quit claims were not on file-mere
promises to give quit claims.
"I took up the matter vigorously
then" said Mr.. Mcclure. "I told Sec
retary Wright that believed the cor
porations were scheming to demand a
| fifty-year lease on the water front In
consideration for those quit claims, and
that in some way strings would be
tied to them.
"Finally the secrtary told me that
he would approve the lines without
accepting the quit claims"

FINED FOR CARRYING SHARP
HAND-AX IN COAT POCKET

C. Angelloz was fined So by Police
Justice Frederickson yesterday for car
rying concealed weapons. The de-
fendant declared he was carrying a
sharp hand-ax to protect himself from
an Italian, who threatened to kill him
unless he produced fifty cents.
Angelloz was arrested by PatrolmaI
Childers, who noticed the man was
carrying the weapon in his inside coat
pocket.
"As 1 was on my way home last
night" said Angelloz, "a man APP
preached me and asked me for fifty
cents. / refused his request telling
him that ] did not have that amount
If you don't go and get the money
and bring it back to me 1 will kill you,
he said. When I reached home ]
armed myself with the AK to protect
myself In the event of meeting the
man."
A number of witnesses testified that
Argelloz bore a good reputation and
was a peaceful man.

MARRIAGE SCORED
BY MAYR WITNESS
WOMAN CRITIClSES MARITAL
CUSTOMS
Mrs. Mauphin Tells Her Views Re-
garding Love - She Thinks
Present Ideas Are
Wrong

'Of course, love children are the only
ones that should be born into the
world; not illegitimate children, you
must understand. Mrs. Mayr and
discussed this matter frequently. She
is a very intelligent woman and has
made a deep study of the matter"
Mrs. Jane Mauphin, 239 Thorne street,
made this statement yesterday as she
sat in the witness chair testifying in
the divorce suit of Ann Eta Mayr
against Walter A. Mayr of Chicago.
Mrs. Mauphin's words We're brought
out by a question propounded by At
torney Britt, Mayr's counsel Mrs.
Mauphin also took occasion to chiticise
the institution of marriage.
Il do not she said, uphold the doc
trine of free love, as the words are fire.
quently used, but there are many
reasons why some, at least of the
present conditions following marriage
should be eliminated. And, should the
marriage institution as it now exists
not be criticised? Are not our courts
filled with just such affairs as we have
exhibited before us i'll this room today?
Mrs. Mauphin was the second wit
ness on the stand yesterday. But lit
tie of Importance concerning the case
was brought out by her testimony.
Miss Caroline A. Moore was the only
other witness, her statements being
chiefly confined to criticism of a
friends action in spreading among
neighboring families part of conver-
sation between Mrs. Mayr and an un-
identified man which the witness had
overheard. The scrap of conversation
reached the ears of female detectives
employed by Mayr and brought Miss
Moore to the witness chair, greatly to
her dismay.
The rest of the day was spent chiefly
in the reading of dispositions to show
the condition of Mayr's finances, and
this proved so uninteresting to the
spectators that but few of the large
crowd that had gathered to watch the
proceedings remained in the court room.
Adjournment was taken until O'Clock
today.
