COMMODORE OBJECTS
TO BIG PILOT FEES
COMPELLED TO PAY $500 FOR
MAN AT WHEEL
Sailed with Anticipated chart-Many
Things Needed to Make San
Pedro First-Class
Harbor

SAN PEDRO, Dec. At was not I'M
til O'Clock this afternoon that the
French cruiser Catinat weighed an
Choir and sailed for Venice, where she
will stay until tomorrow, when she VIII
clear for Mexican ports.
The commodore expected TO take
aboard five head of cattle, but was in
a hurry to meet his engagement az
Venice. where an elaborate progra m
had been arranged for himself and OF ,
ficers, and after two of the cattle had
been brought on board he left without
taking the other three.
Some comment was made yesterday
on the pilotage charges made at TINS
port. and the 5000 as charged the
commodore to bring his vessel into the
harbor was termed eXorbitant.
In justice to the port pilots, however
it ought to be understood that it was
their duty to be in readiness to offer
their services, and as the commodore
put up his flag and asked for pilot Ii
was only right that they should ne
paid. No objection was made at the
time; in fact, the paymaster is re
ported to have commented on the TACT
that the rate of 5000 did not include the
So per foot draught which is allowed by
law.
If the charts of the vessel had been
more up to date the commodore would
not have needed to have taken on the
pilot.
While the old chart he was using had
been corrected October IA, 1908, accord
ing to a rubber stamp on it, it evident
ly was not within the province of the
geodetic survey to take off, in correct
ing an old map, all the lines of kelp
marks.
Be that as it may the chart was a
very ancient one and no blame can be
attached locally for it's condition. As
far as the pilot fees are concerned,
they are regulated by the state, and
are too high. When the
legislative committee was in Los An
geles on November 16 a request from
the pilots that the rates be reduced was
introduced by former State Assembly
man w. H. Wickersham.
There are many things to be done
before San Pedro will be in a position
to invite the commerce of the world or
the cruisers of our own or foreign pow
ers to make a regular call here.
For one thing, San Pedro has no ia
cilities for coaling vessel. If the
French cruiser had desired to purchase
coal here another difficulty would have
been encountered.
Some of the Los Angeles guests at
the reception yesterday blamed the To-
cal chamber of commerce for the real
or imaginery difficulties which the
commodore had encountered here, but
it was explained to them that the sec
rotary had presented the commodore
with an up-to-date map, and also il
picture of the harbor, showing Ad-
miral Evans battleships behind the
breakWater.
The chamber of commerce and all the
citizens here regret the commodore had
any troubles and are delighted with his
call here and his genial and open hos
pitality.

APPEAL
TO SAVE MANS LIFE
ACTION SEEMS USELESS IN
FACE OF NEW LAW
Recent Statute Provides Exception to
Judgment Must Be Made Within
Three Months-old Law
Gave One Year
Especial to The Herald!

SAN BERNARDINO Dec. 4.-As u
last resort an appeal has been taken
by the attorneys for Ed Silver on the
judgment of the death sentence under
which Silver is now confined in the
penitentiary for the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Will Smithson at Daggett near
~ a year ago.
The supreme court recently affirmed
the verdict of guilty in the case, but
before the papers could be returned
here an appeal on the judgment was
taken. However. it is believed this
appeal is too late to be effective, as
the new law provides that an appeal
on judgment must be taken within
three months, the old law giving one
year and the attorneys for the accused
probably overlooked the new law.
This will probably delay the case for
thirty days or so, when Silver will be
returned here for resentencing.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS TO
BE READY NEXT MEETING
Most Important Change Proposed in
cty's Authority Is Substitu-
ton of New Assess
ment Plan

PASADENA, Dec. 4.-CharteT
amendments to the number of three or
four probably will be considered at the
meeting of the city council next Tues
day, as City Attorney Perry Wood
stated this afternoon that he has the
recommendations for the charter COM
mission in such shape he believes he
will have them ready by that time.
BY far the most important of the
amendments is that relating to the as
sessment of property. If the amend
ment is approved by the people the
council will be empowered to pass an
ordinance making the assessment of
Pasadena property as made by the
county the official city assessment, in
stead of having a separate assessment
by the municipality.
The plan is to have this done by
ordinance. after the charter is amended
to make such measure valid. By this
means, if it is found the new plan is
unsatisfactory, the council could
change back to assessment by the city
simply by adopting an ordinance re-
pealing the new one.
