6leCldi TO ne
LONG BEACH, July 3.-When the
city council yesterday gave Captain
Grant of the launch Elliot. permission
to move his booth between present
booths No. 2 and on the outer wharf
they little dreamed what a rebellion
would ensue. 1t had matured by s
O'Clock this morning, when four boat
owners called upon Mayor Windham
and told him they thought it was bad
piece of business. The booths, as at
present located, thev asserted, are at
regularly established noints and the
council has no right, in their estima-
ton. to permit another booth to be
stuck in between.
Percy Ingmire, an employee of the
Union OIL company, was struck last
evening by rope which broke during
the launching of the boat May at West
Long Beach. The rope wrapped about
his legs and pulled him into the water.
His left leg was painfully injured, the
ligaments being torn.
Rev. E. w Thornton has returned
from Louisville, KY, where he repre-
scented the Sunday schools of Long
Beach at the international triennial
Sunday school convention and assisted
the other California delegates In secur-
ing the 1911 convention for San Fran
cisco.

LONG BEACH, July S.-That there
will be a spirited contest before the
Hotel Virginia liquor case is settled
was indicated today when Attorney
Van Dyke of Los Angeles appeared In
police court at the time set for the ar
raignment of Theodore Thomas, bar
tender, and interposed a demurrer, al
leging insufficient facts and lack Of
jurisdiction. He asked for continu-
ance and intimated that he might at
tack the validity of the ordinance.
Judge Lawson agreed when the city
attorney made known his willingness
Xhe arraignment was then set for 2
O'clock next Monday afternoon.
e. M. Statler, owner and proprietor
of the big Hotel Statler in Buffalo, N.
Y, is a guest at the Virginia at pres
ent. This morning he made the state
ment that, unless the Virginia secured
table privileges, 1t would be a losing
venture and would have to be closed.
Sixty per cent of the people who
patronize such hotels, he said, want
wine with their meals, and fifty per
cent will leave hotels where 1t is not
served and go to those places where it
can be had. The Hotel Statler is a
thirteen-story building containing sew
eral hundred guest rooms, has what
are considered among the finest dining
rooms In New York and is known as
1.-THE complete hotel"
James Woods, proprietor of the st.
Francis of San Francisco, visited the
Virginia yesterday, returning last night
to the Alexandria in Los Angeles. He
shares Mr.. Statler's views.

POMONA, July 3.-Pomona will be
quiet tomorrow. AS there is to be no
ceremonies here hundreds will leave in
the morning for the beaches and the
canyons. Every available conveyance
has been engaged for weeks past to
railroads will run special excursions to
resorts, and, in all probability, two
thirds of Pomona's population will be
absent.

Second street today, collided with an
automobile at the corner of Main
street. The auto, which was going
very slowly, was just turning the COR
ner of Main, being driven by f. III.
Rawley Hite was thrown to the pave
ment, sustaining several bad bruises
about the head. He was taken to his
home at 80 West Tenth street, where
he was attended by physician.
A slight earthquake shock was felt
here at o'clock this morning. There
was but one tremor, and that was not
of sufficient force to alarm or awaken
the majority.
Pomona Elks and their ladies will
enjoy the Fourth at picnic to be held
in the grove near Spadra. For weeks
past the Elks have been preparing for
this event, and grand time is ex-
pected. A barbecue will be one of the
features, and a program, amusing in
the extreme, will be pulled off In all
probability nearly every member of the
herd will be present.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 3.--Judge Hough
in the United States circuit court, to-
day appointed Henry A. Robinson an
cilliary receiver in this district OF the
United Box and Paper company.
The company was formed IN new
Jersey in 1902 and acquired a majority
of the stock of the American Straw
board company and the stock Of the
Knickerbocker Pulp and Paper COM
pany and the Uncas Paper company
of Norwich, Conn. In addition 1t ac-
quired other plants. controlling or OPP
Grating some forty-one plants, manu-
featuring strawboard and box board.
A dividend of IL per cent was paid
on the preferred stock December Is.
1902. Since then no dividends have
been paid.
The application for the receivership
was made by the Lockport Felt COM
pany of New York and was not OPP
posed by the box board company.
The current liabilities of the COM
pany are given at $962,000 and its cur
rent assets at $S2S000. The company's
total bonded Indebtedness is given at
$780, 400. The interest on these bonds
could not be met out of the profits of
the concern and had to be met by
making use of part of the working
capital of the company.
This so depleted the working capital
that the application was made.
The general assets of the company,
including its sixteen mills, amounts to
$21, 035,859. The general liabilities
amount to $34, ,445. These liabilities
include the capital stock, which aggre-
gates s2S,927, 400.

CARRIER HAD FALLEN FROM
BICYCLE AND WAS STUNNED

PASADENA, July 3.-The mystery
surrounding the injury of Godfrey Hall,
carrier for The Herald living at 100
South Hudson street, who returned to
his home dazed, with bleeding face
Wednesday evening, has been
cleared up.
Several persons today reported that
they saw youth answering his de-
scription fall from his wheel into the
gutter that evening. 1t is evident that
he struck stone or some other OBJ
struction and was precipitated to the
ground. 1t was at first thought that
he might have been run over by an
automobile.
Hall today recovered from the mental
stupor in which he had been ever since
the accident, but his mind is still an
absolute blank on the subject of the
injury. The last thing he remembers
is making a collection at the, corner of
Catalina avenue and Maple way.
The injuries on his face are not of
a particularly serious nature and he is
today resting easily.

HE FOLLOW

A nervous commuter on his dark,
lonely way home from the railroad sta
ton, heard footsteps behind him. He
had an uncomfortable feeling that he
was being followed. He increased his
speed. The footsteps quickened accord
ingly. The commuter darted down q
lane. The footsteps still pursued him.
In desperation he vaulted over a fence
and rushing into churchyard threw
himself painting on one of the graves.
IF he follows me here" he thought
fearfully there can be no doubt as tc
his intentions"
The man behind was following. He
could hear him scrambling over the
fence. Visions of highwaymen, maniacs,
garroters and the like flashed through
his brain. Quivering with fear the
nervous one arose and faced his pur-
suer.
what do you want?" he demanded
"Wh-why are you following me?"
s,Sav." asked the stranger, hopping
his brow. s'do you always go home like
this. or are you giving yourself a spe-
cial treat tonight? I'm going up to Mr..
Browns, and the man at the station
told me to follow you. as you lived next
door. Excuse my asking you, but is
there much more to do before we get
there Everybody's Magazine.
