Territory
LspecIa1 to The Herald. ]

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 21.-In order to
ascertain If the $50 voters of this
city legally signed the petition for the
exclusion of the northern third of the
city and also to determine how many,
if any, of them resided in East san
Pedro, Terminal island or the strip
north of O'Farrell street, the district
court of appeals in Los Angeles this
morning appointed Lynn Helm, referee
in bankruptcy, to act as referee and
come to San Pedro to take testimony
as to these matters.
The order was given because City At
torney Henry Stieglitz and Judge j. W..
Mckinley, who represent the city trus-
tees, declared the petition was insult
ficient. Their answer was filed with the
court December Z. Nevertheless Mr..
Stieglitz told the trustees at their
weekly meeting, December 8, that the
petition was legal and sufficient and
that he had the ordinance in his pocket
to call the election.
The petitioners filed with the court
this morning a map showing old san

ing the territory to be excluded from

completed the court will issue man
datory order on the trustees compelling
them to comply with the law and the
wishes of the voters of this city.
Meanwhile enthusiasm for annexation

formed of the matters at issue, which,
when carried through, will mean SO
much for this city and harbor.

FISHERMEN HAVE UNUSUAL
LUCK, FINDING TORPEDO
Missile, Supposed to Have Been Lost
by the Perry, Is Practically un-
nJured-LucratiVe SAL
wage Expected

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 21.-While TROLL
Ing for albicore in the launch Sham
rock about eight miles off Whites
point yesterday morning Tom Dennl-
son and Charles Mitchell, with four
linemen of the Los Angeles Interurban
railway, sighted what appeared to be
a half-sunken log. On investigation
they discovered the object was Dig
torpedo with it's nose stove in. They
passed the rest of the day towing their
find to San Pedro, and this morning
notified the naval authorities at Los
Angeles, who advised them to let the
water out, if possible, and clean 1t up.
A letter was also sent to Captain Larl-
mer of the United States torpedo boat
destroyer Perry, who was practicing
with his new torpedos here last week.
1t was not learned until today that a
torpedo was lost, but the one found
has the following marks: "Bliss-Leav-
lit; M. 45 CM. Mark III U. S. N.
No. 1O14, E. W. Bliss Company. B. b.
Nc. Co."
The Perry was trying out this new
type, the "Bliss-Leavitt," which is
much faster than the old Whitehead
torpedoes, having speed of thirty
knots an hour. The targets used were
nets submerged, and 1t is supposed
that the torpedo found yesterday was
fired Thursday or Friday night and
went astray, missing the net and MT
ting either the Whipple, a sister ship,
or striking the breakwater rocks.
AS the torpedo found is worth about
S5O0O it is presumed the finders will
receive quite a sum of salvage money.
Although the heads of the torpedoes
used in practice are not loaded except
with water, the men were very care
full in bringing their find out Of the
water, as they. thought it was filled
with high explosive. Aside from
rust and the damaged head, the tor
pedo seemed to be in good condition,
its propellers and rudders being ap-
narantlv uniniured.

OCEAN PARK, Dec. 21.-Much spec
ulation has been INDUCED in by in
terested parties as to reason of the
supposed withdrawal of support for
the band at Ocean Park by the Los
Angeles-Pacific Railroad company, as
the company has been contributor to
the band fund for long time.
The following letter received by Pres
ident Webster of the Santa Monica bay
chamber of commerce partially explains
the matter:
LOS ANGELES, Cal. Dec. II, 1908.
"Mr. A. f. Webster, president Santa
Monica Bay chamber of commerce,
Santa Monica, CAL:
Dear sir: / am in receipt of your
letter of the 18th inst. and am sur
prised to learn that check has not been
sent to you in support of the band at
Ocean Park for the last two months.
''I know that vouchers were made up
regularly for this. will see that check
is sent at once. Yours truly,
ar. p. SHERMAN"
The band committee wonders who got
in the way of those checks after Man
ager Sherman signed the vouchers.

SAYS LIFE SAVER AT
ALL TIMES WAS SAFE

VENICE. Dec. 21.-The members OF
the United States volunteer lifesaving
crew of Venice are disturbed at the
story which appeared in morning
paper today. in which it is stated the
drill given by the crew yesterday near
ly resulted in a tragedy and that the
man supposed to be in distress had to
be rescued in fact instead of play.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Toenges,
who pretended to be drowning and was
rescued, was never at any time during
the drill in any danger. The only basis
for the story is the remark which he
laughingly made to the effect that ''if
you fellows had kept me out there
much longer you would have had sure
enough case"
The drill yesterday was one of the
most successful ever held and was wit
messed by more than eight hundred
persons.

Especial 10 The Aefalu.1
SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 21.-By a
vote of to l the council tonight passed
the Southern Pacific franchise for the
motor line from this city to Redlands,
a standard gauge railroad.
This is expected to be the first step
in the plan for operating all local
trains between Los Angeles and Red
lands via this city, instead of Red
lands Junction.
1t is possibly also the first step in
the direction of changing the main line
to this city and Redlands and out
through Yucaipe, to join the present
line at Beaumont. The passage of the
franchise is most important for this
city.
