da bears big black wound, the first
shot from the Arkansas big gun hav-

Every bureau of the navy department

monitor Kansas with its big 12-inch
guns and by the torpedo boat Morris

and without doubt severe criticism
will be directed at the navy depart

economically-minded legislators.

ALL POINTS TO
CONSOLIDATION
WAR DEPARTMENT FURNISHES
STRONG ARGUMENT
FRIES REPORT TRANSMITTED TO
CONGRESS
City and Harbor Towns Must Work
Together to Exercise Pressure
Necessary to Procure Ma
tional Legislation

Los Angeles men who follow closely
the problem of a public harbor think
that the war departments attitude to-
ward San Pedro harbor, as shown IN
the transmission of Capt. A. A. Fries
report to congress, is the strongest sort
of an argument for united and con-
solidated effort on the part of tie beach
towns and Los Angeles. With one big
municipality behind the harbor inn
provement agitation they believe there
would be none of the delay now eXpe-
rienced.
Secretary A. P. Fleming of the Los
Angeles harbor commission said yes
terday that he agreed with that view
| of the matter. His attention was called
to a statement in the Wilmington Jour
nal that the only course open to Inc
people of Wilmington, following the
Recommendation of the war department,
was to accede to the request of the
Banning company.
at should certainly call that good
argument for consolidation, he said.
with one large municipality demand
ing harbor Improvement progress would
certainly be more rapid, and ] think we
should see favorable action on the rec
concentration of Captain Fries for two
government dredgers.
at is important that we do as much
work toward public harbor as possible
in the immediate future, for we must
be in a position to handle the shipping
that should be ours when the Panama
canal is opened. But it should be clear
that a small town cannot dc a great
deal, especially with national legisla-
ton, and Los Angeles. as at present
situated. is at a great Disadvantage
for she cannot make direct plea Tor
her own port with the force that would
apply if that port were in the city linn
it's.
1--WE need united action. The city
must help the harbor and the harbor
towns must work with the city, and
both will profit immensely by the COIL
certed effort. First of all we need legiS-
lation which will put city with u Tree
holders charter on an equality with
others as to consolidation. Then, l
think, the rest will come

POLICE START WAR
ON HANDBOOK MEN
Under Direction of Captain Broad
head, Plain Clothes Officers OBJ
tain Evidence Against
Cigar Dealers

Acting under direction of Captain
Thos II. Broadhead, the police yester-
day afternoon raided three cigar stands
where handbooks on the races were al
legged to be made and arrested the per-
sons in charge who were conducting
the betting departments.
AT the stand of e. l.. Caress, 119 West
First street, Caress was found making
a book and was arrested. At his stand
at 1877 North Main street A. M. Wilkin-
son, the clerk in charge obligingly
recorded a wager for the plain clothes
policeman and was also arrested.
George Parry, the cigar dealer at 12S
West First street, is also alleged to
have fallen for the wiIes of the plain
clothes man and registered a bet on
the success of one of the ponies at
Arcadia. He was compelled to accom-
pany his unfortunate brothers in trade
to the police station where they were
released on depositing $3.50 each for
their appearance in police court today,
