SUITS WILL BE
FILED TODAY
ATTORNEY GENERAL WEBB TO
INSTITUTE COMPLAINTS
VISITING COUNSEL ACCORDED
UNUSUAL FACILITIES
Actions to Have the Right of Way and
Final Decision is Expected In
Less Than Eighteen
Months

DIX SUITS will be filed in the su-
perior court today which Will De
~ gin the legal proceedings 10 re-
cover for public use the tidelands III
the inner harbor at San Pedro. Inc
complainant In each is "the people or
the state of California upon mrorma, :,
ton of u. S. Webb, attorney general.
A. r. Fleming, attorney and secretary
of tho Los Angeles harbor comnlssioi,'
and the commissions special counsel,
James A. Anderson, will present tne
complaints. The suits VIII nave the
right of way, and 1t Is expected tnat d
final decision will be reacheo III iesS
than eighteen months.
1--WE are more than pleased with the
attitude of Attorney General Wepp.
said Mr. Fleming yesterday. with
Mr.. Anderson he went TO sacramento
Saturday and laid the resolutions OF
the CITY council and the harbor COM
mission before the attorney general.
He will not only institute the COM
plants In a way that makes unneces-
sary the information of a third party
which is the usual method, but he mas
promised to appear himself when the
proper time comes He is doing for us
more than we had been prepared to ask
of him. and the suits could not be bet
ter initiated. 1t is not the ordinary
course for the attorney general to ap-
pear In the relation of complaint, ana
that he has done so in the tidelands
suits shows his appreciation of their
Importance. which is very gratifying
to us.
"Mr. Webb told us that this was the
first time the tidelands matter had
been presented to him. We had all the
details for his inspection, had the Legal
phases closely briefed, and thus avoided
taking up any unnecessary amount OF
his time.
I'VE were careful to make 1t plain to
the attorney general that the suits In
no way affect the improvement work
planned by the city of Wilmington
Ali Made Defendants
The defendants include every person
or corporation whose name appears or
record as involved in tideland holdings
Among them is that of d. o. Mills. The
Banning company and the Bannings
are the principal defendants. Others
are the Southern Pacific Railroad COM

Lumber company, A. M. Chafey, j. =.
Franks. George r. b. Hayes, Merck
Reynolds, California Fish company,
Crescent Wharf and Warehouse COM
pany and the Southern California Lum-
Der company.
The allegation will be made in the
complaints that the state owns the
soils and land of the bed of the bay
and it's tidelands, and all lands of the
bay that are covered by the fiux ana

BLEACHED BONES OF
TWO MEN ARE FOUND :.
CLOSE TO SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1s.-The bIeaehed
bones Of two human skeletons on which
were fragments of clothing were found
by quail hunters on Point Iona today.
The skeletons were found in canyons
some distance apart. BY the side of one
was a heavy revolver and box Of cart
ridges.
No Identification has as yet been made,
and 1t Is very doubtful IL there will be
any.
The bones are those of men, and II Is
evident they died months ago. Seven
large gold filings in the teeth NAV aid
to identify one of the unfortunates.
The fragments of clothing found are
too weather-worn TO be of much service
for Identification.

CARING FoR DISH CLOTHS.
How One Young Housskeeper Solved
Kitchen Problem.

Dish rags are the great difnculty that
beset the careful housekeeper in her
efforts to keep q clean and tidy kitch-
en-. They are drying on the hook and
hanging on the sink. and somehow a
towel used for pots and pans is always
damp. Then time must be taken from
the general work to wash them out
and dry them, and altogether they are
most extremely annoying.
All these things and more. too. were
discovered by q careful young house
keeper, so she arranged to have dish
in the outer kitchen filled with good
clear water and some washing soda.
and into this mixture the cloths were
dropped Immediately after using and
there they were left till evening. when
they were hung up where they might
dry over night
OF course. enough towels must be on
hand, SO that the same one need not
be used more than once . day. but
at least they are always clean and the
kitchen is always In order.
