One oId-TImer Learns Lesson About

the Surf

Sea trout and spot fin croalxer are
running brislxly along the west coast
and many splendid catches were made
yesterday by the first Of the week Ash

Jacksrnelt, mackerel and oornfeds are
again in evidence and appeared along
the coast from Ocean Park to Re-

w. =. English landed several large
trout yesterday at Hermosa and Billy
Edwards was equally successful at
Playa del Rey. At Peck's Prof r. b.

and other fishermen also landed "a
number.
One of the old timers along the coast

theory dissipated yesterday when he
landed q fine specimen near the top of
the water. He had hooked a small
mackerel and was reeling 1t in when a
sea trout came with a rush and took It..
After a fight of ten minutes the trout
was brought to the top of the wharf.
but in it's struggle for freedom 1t had
disgorged the mackerel, and had he not

had another story of trout taken on

A sea bass weighing over six popnds
was landed at Manhattan on a No. 10
hook with single snood. The lad who
was the lucky sportsman was fishing
for jacksmelt and using shark meat
for bait.
Large catches of small pan fish were
made at all west coast points. South
coast fishing was also said to be good.
At Playa del Rey several spot fin
croakers were taken through the surf.
This Is not a dream. They were
genuine snorers and fought gamely.
Los Angeles anglers who have re-
turned from the mountain lakes and
streams after enjoying pleasant OUT
ings report that the trout fishing in

WANT MONUMENT
TO THE POLICE
Prominent citizens Signify Their Will
Inuness to Contribute and Mu-
nlcipaI Officials Express
Full Approval

A petition signed by committee Of
three selected from the rank and file
of the police department will be pre-
sented to Chief Kern today to be placed
before the board of police commits
sioners. 1t will ask that they be al
lowed to collect subscriptions from
their number and from citizens who are
disposed to donate to a fund to be
raised for the purpose of erecting a
monument to the heroes OF the police
department who have fallen in the dis
charge of their duty and for those who
may meet a violent end while guarding
the lives and property of the people OF
Los Angeles.
The committee was selected several
days ago and immediate steps to start
the fund were taken. A number of
prominent citizens have signif1ed their
willingness to contribute substantial
sums to start the list, and many city
officials have approved of the move
ment.
The committee visited Chief Kern
yesterday and placed the matter before
him, outlining its plans and asking his
opinion of the project. Chief Kern
heartily approved of the idea and asked
the committee to put the matter in the
form of a petition so that it could be
properly placed before the police COM
mission.
The proposed nOnuWeuts II All ar

win be that of a patrolman, either in

memory Of those who fall in the line of
duty should be flttingly honored, and

SAY HE WORKS.
SMOOTH GAME
ACCUSED OF GETTING MONEY
BY FALSE PRETENSES
Prisoner Alleged as Operating by Tel
ephone, Representing Himself as
Theatrical Manager with
Friend In Town

George Buchanan was arrested by
Detective James Hosick at the Alexan-
dria hotel last night on,a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
He is now a prisoner in the city Jail,
where he will be held until further in
vestigations into his past record can be
made.
The police say Buchanan overstepped
himself in a smooth game, which he has
worked successfully on several hotels,
when-he attempted to secure $40 from
the Alexandria last night.
1t is asserted Buchanan in1personated
Oliver Morosco of the Burbank theater
two years ago and secured hotel ac-
commodations and money as a result
Then, 1t is said, he disappeared from
Los Angeles and remained away until
a short time ago, when he called at the
Hollenbeck hotel and secured So and
board and room for two days.
The police say his system was to rep
resent himself as being a prominent
business man. usually a theatrical man
ager, call up hotel by telephone, notify
the clerk that he had q friend on the
way to the hotel and ask that Ihe be
given the best in the house and allowed
to have any reasonable sum OF money
he wanted. His conversation would run
something like this:
This is Mr. So and So. My northern
representative has just arrived tonight
and is unable to get q check cashed.
Kindly allow him what money he de-
sires and give him the best in the
house. / will call around in the morn
ing and SETTLE"
The hotel clerk, being acquainted
with the person supposed to be on the
other end of the telephone. would not
be suspicious when a well dressed man
would appear and state he was the man
mentioned In the telephone conversa-
ton.
A short time ago Buchanan is alleged
to have worked this scheme on the Hol-
lenbeck hotel. After leaving the Hol-
lenbeck he tried the same game on the
Alexandria and had obtained room and
board, but when he attempted to get
$40 by representing himself to be the
northern representative of Charles
Yorke of the Los Angeles theater the
hotel became suspicious and investi-
gated AS result Buchanan has re-
moved from hotel to jail.

SAN DIEGO GETS
FOUR-OAR SHELL
SOUTHERN CREW EXPECTS TO
WIN AT NAPLES
NEW BOAT Is HANDSOME AND or

Los Angeles Athletic Club Boys Not
Scared by Report That Elvai's
Craft Is Faster and Lighter
Than Theirs
[nx Asaociated Press. ]


SAN DIEGO, Sept. 14.--The hand
some new four-oaPed shell which tne
san Diego Rowing club Will use IN its
race at the Naples regatta next month,
has arrived and 1t Is a staunch FACING
craft. 1t is A feet long and weighs less
than 100 pounds. The hull has peall
of only twenty-one inches amidsnlps
and a depth OF only Sh inches at the
same place.
There are slight changes in the lines
of the new shell referred, TO IN tne
above dispatch, as compared with that
owned by the Los Angeles AthleIlc
club. 1t draws less water ana ls some
what lighter This latter fact will allow
the southerners to get away quicker at
the start, but the seeming handicap
win be equalized by the Los Angeles
Athletic club crew IL the water Is q bit
rough, which undoubtedly will be the
case at Naples. OF course, a great deal
is dependent upon the men VINO VIII
cow the boat. 1t is foolish thought
to place all confidence in boat, IL
vigorous. active and well-trained oars
men are lacking at the oars. Regard
less of the fact that the building Of
racing shells has been reduced to a
science as regards the attainment of
high speed, a good boat without the
proper men to man her only Is like a
snip IN ulStTeSs .
The boat was used for the first time
yesterday by the San Diego oarsmen
and the result of the trial will be
watched with interest by all southern
sportsmen.
Coach AL Treloar of the Los Angeles
Athletic club Is waiting only for the
action of the Naples people to go ahead
with his training. No doubt, the club
officials realize with the coach that
their crew is being handicapped by the
delay in getLing down to rowing. 1t
would be blow to the club boys should
Coach Treloar call the race Off as far
as the Los Angeles Athletic club Is
concerned, but this most surely will be
the case IL arrangements are not made
within few days for the preliminary
training. Coach Treloar has had too
much experience as d coach of one of
the best college crews in the country.

the clubs crew with only short prelimi-
nary practice. In one of the most ina
portant regattas ever held in this part
Of the country. The boys who re-
sponded to Treloar's call are anxious to
get to work. This latter fact is proved
by the way they are tackling the gym
Iiasium work that the coach is daily
putting them through. The rowing ma
chimes have been put in place in the
gymnasium and the crew Is using them

OFFICIALS TO INSPECT
HARBOR SITUATION
Florida Supreme Court Hands Down
Decision Favorable to Keeping
Tide Land Titles In the
People

As a preparation for the filing of tide
land title suits to determine the legal
ownership of the San Pedro and Will
mington harbor fronts Mayor A G.
Harper, Attorney James A. Anderson
ana SECRETARY A. p. Fleming of the
harbor commission will today make an
investigation of the affected district.
Captain Amos A. Fries of the army
engineers and Lieutenant Charles
Leeds will also go, Captain Fries re-
turning from San Diego in time to
catch the party.
Because of the army maneuvers at
Atascadero the army engineers VIII be
absent a month, hence the trip was set
forward to get the benefit of their pres
ence.
Captain Hughes, also of the engin-
eers' office, will be member of the
party. he being familiar with the cham
nels etc.
The plan is to place the location of
the waterways which the government
will dredge before filing suits through
the attorney general. The attorneys
want a visual as well as q map knoWl-
edge of the situation.
Cites Florida Decision
An important decision affecting the
suit brought on the title to the San
Pedro harbor lands has just been
handed down by the supreme court of
Florida. In this decision it is held that
the state cannot give away tide lands
for private purposes, contention
which is being made as to the San
Pedro harbor by the Los Angeles har-
bor commission. The decision win be
cited in the suit begun by tho harbor
commission.
In q review of the Florida decision
the Central Law Journal says in the
latest issue:
Judge Whitfield shows by a
short argument, which is q model
of logic, that tide lands constitute
the shores of navigable waters, and
even though covered and uncovered
alternately by the action of the
tides, they are nevertheless. the
beds of navigable rivers In which
such tide ebbs and flows; the
learned judge saying that the
navigable waters in the states and
the lands under such waters. in
cluding the shore or lands between
ordinary high and low water
marks. are the property of the
states. or Of the people Of the states
in their united or sovereign capa-
city, and are not held for the pur-
pose of sale or conversion into
other values. or reduction into sew
eral or individual ownership, Dut
for the use of all the people OF the
state respectively for the purpose
OF navigation. commerce, fishing
and other useful purposes Afforded
by the waters in common to and
for the people of the states"
Judge Whitfield held that the state
could not give away tidelands for pri-
vate purposes. and It is believed by
Secretary Fleming of the Los Angeles |
harbor commission that this decision
points the direct way for setting aside
the tide land claims OF the corporations
in San Pedro inner harbor.
