LEVIATHAN OIL FREIGHTER
is ANCHORED AT RED0NDO
Company viii Call Regularly at Port
ereafter-shippng Passed Un-
scathed Through Storm
of Yesterday

REDONDO BEACH, Dec. 17.-The
steamship w. S. Porter arrived in port
this morning and is loading oil for
northern points.
This is not only the largest oil vessel
afloat. but also the largest vessel that
has ever visited Southern California
waters. She is 3S5 feet in length, has
a gross tonnage of 1901 tons, a fifty
foot beam and is twenty-nine feet In
depth. She carries a cargo of $1,000
barrels of oil The vessel has a crew OF
forty-one men and is in command OF
Captain Macdonald.
Owing to the extreme draft of the
Porter when loaded, the deep water
harbor here is the only place on the
south coast at which the big boat can
come to dock, and Captain Macdonald
says his company is so much impressed
with this, the excellent anchorage
grounds, and the lack of undertow OIL
current that it has decided the boat
shall make regular trips here in the
future.
The captain was amused at the re-
port in morning paper which stated
he had gone to San Pedro to avoid
the storm here yesterday.
In justice to Redondo it should be
stated that yesterdays blow was
scarcely noticed here, and that this
passenger boats made their regular
stop, unloaded and departed on time
Many small craft belonging to fisher
men found no difficulty in coming into
port and docking their catches.

Now Ashore
Especial to The Herald

SANTA MONICA, Dec. is. Hat
tori of the Japanese colony at the
mouth of the Santa Monica canyon re
ported this morning that boat and
crew of three Russians were missing
from that vicinity.
The boat was observed going north
during the squall of yesterday and 1t
is assumed that if it outlived the storm
it would have made its appearance by
this time. A searching party has been
sent out to look for the missing craft.
Late this evening HattOri stated over
the telephone that he had not heard OF
the Russians making their appearance,
but that all members of his own camp
were safe and wished him to express
their gratitude to their American
friends who so bravely came to their
aid during the storm.
The Japanese lost three of their boats
in the storm, while five others went
ashore but We're uninjured. Fred
Langsworthy's launch is ashore at
North Beach, where the boilers left 1t,
and at Bristol pier the naphtha launch
Phillips is in a similar plight.

Tsnecial to The Herald. ]

VENICE, Dec. 17.-As the result of
his activity in saving a number of Jap
anese fishermen from watery grave
yesterday Capt. George F'reeth of the
volunteer life saving crew is the hero
Of the beach today.
That the little brown men are appre-
ciative of the great service rendered
them yesterday was shown this after
noon when a delegation from the fish
ing camp at Port Los Angeles made
it's appearance at the life saving sta
tion on Windward pier and presented
the big life guard with a gold watch
and $50 in cash. The spokesman also
added some very nice sounding words
of gratitude for the kindness shown
them during their mishaps yesterday.
Abbot Kinney who was present at
the meeting, made a neat speech com
mending Captain Freeth'S actions dur
ing the time of danger
A contribution of $3.50 was also pre-
sented by the Japanese to the crew, to
be added to the sick fund. The benefit
for the crew which was got up by
the ladies of the beach netted more
than S100, and this, with about $50 sub
scribed by private citizens of Venice,
will enable the crew to purchase a steel
ufeboat, of which there is much need.
The events of yesterday demonstrated
in particular the need of a mortar gun
for the purpose of conveying lines to
wrecked craft when the sea is too high
to launch a boat successfully.
Residents are much impressed with
the usefulness of the crew, and an ac-
tive effort is being made to raise the
money for the desired equipment either
by means of a benefit or by subscrip-
tion.

BIBLICAL PROFESSOR
COINS NEW BEATITUDE
Teacher of Biblical Literature at Yale
Tells Students 1t Is More Blessed
to Make Men Than to
Save Them

CLAREMONT, Dec. 17.-Charles f.
Kent, who occupies the chair of Bib.
lical literature at Yale university,
spoke to the students here today on
the New Bible" He stated that the
prime function of the church was along
educational lines, and that religious
training was now being carried on
more scientifically than in the past.
1T is more blessed to make men
than to save them," said Mr.. Kent.
I'VE are just beginning to learn this
beatitude. Higher education which
enables college graduates to cope with
actual conditions and which inculcates
ideals in the students is more part
of the church's duty than many real
ize. The church should not be an in
stitution standing aloof. 1t should do
real work in a practical way. In some
churches the pews are in advance of
the pulpit in knowledge of the new
Bible and what it means to the world"

REDLANDS, Dec. 1.-THE tempera-

an early hour this morning, remaining
there for several hours, when it grad
ually climbed and shortly after
o'clock reached 80 degrees.
There was heavy frost on the
ground, but on examination the orange
trees were found not to be damaged
to any greater extent than the tender
sprouts being nipped, which gave the
trees a rather ragged appearance. Nc
damage was done to the crop. Small
shrubbery and flowers were Drowned
to a considerable extent in the city, but
on Smiley Heights no damage was
done to even the small plants. In sew
eral localities the damp ground was
frozen slightly and still water had a
thin coat of ice, but Redlands has
withstood 26 degrees without damage,
so little anxiety was felt over the
cold last night.

REDLANDS, Dec. 17.-The shop of
the Redlands Plumbing company was
robbed late last evening by thieves
who entered at the rear and stole $l5
from the till.
Charles Winston, member of the
company, discovered the theft and no
titled the police. Local officers spent
the night in San Bernardino searching
for the suspects, but the work was
fruitless. About 10 O'Clock the special
officer of the Santa Fe at San Ber-

Berry, a young man we'll known about
the yards, and arrested him on suspi-
cion, and a Redlands youth whom the
police suspect of having a hand in the
deal is being searched for.

HOTEL RAYMOND OPENS;
VERITABLE FLORAL BOWER
Proprietor of Magnificent Hostelry
viii Be His Own Manager This
Year-Advance Bookings
Large

PASADENA. Dec. 17.-Several hun
dred of Pasadena's leading society
folk took part in the formal opening
of the Hotel Raymond this evening
and the occasion was wonderfully
eneessf1ll one. The opening marked
the first time that Walter Raymond
has ever managed his own motel
While he has been interested ID
Southern California for over quarter
of a century, during most OF Whlch
time he has owned and operated a
great hotel. yet he has always up to
this winter had his great hosiery
managed by another. This made the
occasion one of more than local i'm
portance and the opening was a mat
ter of unusual interest because OF this
fact.
From the flower-decked subway to
the magnificent floral centerplece IN
the great dining room the big build
ing was a veritable bower of flowers
and ferns. Hundreds of dollars had
been expended for the flowers and
smilax used, while the great Raymond
hot houses and flower field had been
called upon to supply almost count
less blooms for the occasion.
Dinner was served in the great din
ing room from $50 to 8 o'clock, and
for an hour after that time a concert
by the hotel orchestra was greatly
enjoyed Dancing followed the mu-
sic and the guests of the evening did
not cease their merrymaking until late
at night.
The hotel opens this year with larger
advance bookings than ever before in
the history of the hostelry and Man
ager Raymond states that he antici-
pates one of the best seasons in sew
eral years.

PASADENA, Dec. lis South Pas-
adena, the connecting link between
Pasadena and Los Angeles. to lose Its
identity altogether and become ap-
sorbed at time not far in the future
by its larger neighbors?
It almost seems so, for citizens OF that
town are starting petitions for the dls-
incorporation of the city which are cal
culated to throw a chill into the heafts
of the South Pasadenans who nave
been proud of their town.
The northerly and easterly portions
of the city are now considering a peti-
tion which calls for a consolidation with
Pasadena 1t is also limited that the
residents in the northern portion OF
Alhambra are anxious to associate
themselves with a big town, and are
preparing petition to that effect
A meeting of the malcontents VIII De
held some time next week at Whlch
they will discus the situation in all its
bearings.
Some of the reasons given for the de-
sired change of government are made
duate supplies of water for tire puf-
poses, poor roads, no sewers, made
auate lighting and heavy taxation IN
proportion to the benefits received.

PASADENA INTERESTED IN

PASADENA, Dec. 17.-Considerable
interest was aroused in Pasadena to-
day by the story in The Herald this
morning that Captain Charles Hart
ley had killed himself by plunging into
the river near Ehrenberg, Arizona,
Hartley came to Pasadena shortly af-
ter the San Francisco fire and the
stories he told about his sufferings in
that disaster stamped him as a tic-
ZIONIST of the first order, for all were
afterward proved false.
His career in Pasadena was a re-
markable one, and as a romancer he
stands first of all the numerous story
tellers who have ever frequented the
Crown city. His pathetic story of the
loss Of his wife in the San Fran
cisco disaster and of her connection
with a family of semi-nobility in
Guatemala was duly published and
was a masterpiece, and later it was
reported that he had a wife he had
left in another portion of California
