LONG BEACH, Feb. 9.-Shortly be-
fore midnight last night husky negro
made a sensational escape from a room
in the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. L. M.
Enos, 552 Linden avenue, after knock
ing down Mrs. Enos, who had heard
suspicious noises in the room and had
posted herself at the door while a
woman friend with her in the house
telephoned to the police station.
The Enos family moved into the
house only yesterday. They formerly
resided on East Fourth street.
The police think that perhaps the
negro had slept in the house while no
one was living In it and entered 1t last
evening not knowing but that il was
still unoccupied.
but Mrs. Enos is confident the negro
intended to plumber the residence and
that he would have done so and es-
capped had he not been surprised while
looking through the place.
In escaping from the room the negro
knocked the woman down and then
ran out of the front door and down
Linden avenue. Neither of the women
could give very full description of the
man.
L. M. Enos is interested in the Peo-
pies Ice and Cold Storage company,

NEW WAVE MOTOR MODEL
ON EXHIBITION AT RED0NDO
Miniature of Big Commercial Plant

Observation-Disclosures Has
Faith In II

Special to The Herald.
REDONDO, Feb. S.-A model of the
Starr wave motor Is on exhibition at
the big pavilion. 1t is a miniature of
the commercial plant being built here.
When the model is seen in connection
with the commercial plant the Los An
geles Wave Power and Electric COM
pany is building, 1t creates consider
able enthusiasm. Mr.. Starr, by invi-
tation, exhibited this model wave mo-
tor few days ago to the professors
and scientific class of Pomona college.
1t is said to have impressed the sci
entists and their students to see a
machine that had been perfected to
take the power from the ocean and Con-
vert 1t to mans uses.
Mr.. Starr said "It does not make
any difference whether the swell is one
foot or several feet, the mechanism of
my wave motor is such that it trans
mutes the power of the ocean swells
through it's simple machinery in the
form Of electricity on to the wires so
it can be carried to any point desired
within two hundred miles of the wave
motor
The plant under construction here is
being energetlcally completed. The
pier is finished and eight ten by ten
air compressors are in place. Two six
by thirty air tanks and one of the
engines are on the pier and the other
is en- route from the east.
The massive anchors are being placed
in the ocean with 500 feet of heavy
chain attached to each anchor to hold
the barge. The other machinery is
being manufacturer by the Pilgrim iron
works, Globe iron works and American
Engineering and Foundry company in
Los Angeles.
After over thirty years of hard work
on this wave motor" said Mr.. Starr,
"the day is now near (next month";
when I will show the world have
grand commercial success. 1 had one
plant that ran for eighteen months and
made one light. Another plant that ran
several months made ten lights.
1.-THE first unit of the plant we are
now building will put 100 horse power
(1200 lights) on the wire. We will soon
furnish power, light and heat so cheap
that no one can afford to use oil, coal,
wood or gas"

| OCEAN PARK, Feb. 9.-Notwith-
standing the reports circulated on the
beach yesterday that the Good Gov
eminent leagues melting last night was
to be a hot one," there was little bus1-
ness transacted beyond the Endorsement
and nomination of G. G. Watt for city
clerk.
The league failed to indorse Plez
Jones, the incumbent of the office, who,
1t Is said, will be an Independent can
didate for reelection.
Eleven votes were cast for Mr.. James,
while Mr.. Watt, who is the present
city marshal, received Sc votes and was
slated as the Good Government leagues
nominee.
| Mr.. James, who has filled the office of
city clerk since Ocean Park was first
established as city, has a host of
| friends, and IL he enters the race as an
| Independent candidate the contest for
| the office will undoubtedly be a hot one.
A movement made that the league in
dorse a candidate for marshal, to run
under the Good Governments wing,
was quashed at last nights meeting.
! There are now five candidate in the
| field and it is believed a battle for the
honors will lie between George Nettle-
ton and Steve HUFF.
Both, it is stated, seek to run for
office on the leagues ticket, but an un-
authenticated report has it that a
prominent citizen Of Ocean Park whose
name has not yet been mentioned in
connection with the office is the real
choice of the league and that his nomi-
nation on the ticket will be made at a
| late date.
| Objections have been heard in regard
to the Good Government leagues pres
ent nominees for the trusteship, and
rumors have been circulated that plan
was under way to strengthen the ticket
by the substitution of two new candi-
dates for two already named. 1t was
| believed that action toward that end
would be made at last nights meeting,
but the question was not taken up for
consideration.
