NOTIFY LEGISLATORS OF
VIEWS ON CONSOLIDATION
Representatives at Sacramento in Re-
ceipt of Resolutions Passed by
Committee on Behalf of
Petitioners

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 21.-That no mis-
understanding may exist at Sacramento
as to the attitude of the citizens of
this city on the subject of consolida-
tion there was mailed this morning to
each member of the legislature neatly
printed copy Of the resolutions adopted
last Saturday by the citizens consoli-
dation committee, which represents the
$50 petitioners who have asked for a
division of this city in order to unite
with Los Angeles.
The resolutions have been published
already and simply ask for the rights of
cities of all classes to unite by a ma
jority vote in each. On the cover is
this statement, among others: There
is no more reason now for two-thirds
vote than under the old law allowing
cities of the general law to unite by a
majority vote"
The two-thirds majority bill fathered
by Savage, his state control measure
for this harbor and the appointment of
a harbor commissioner from this city
to act with one from Wilmington and
another from Long Beach, are all be-
lieved by many citizens to have been
put forth in an effort to keep back the
natural growth of this harbor in order
that a few interests" may be pro-
tected, and, incidentally, for the pur-
pose of providing berths for the faith

PRIEST ADVISES MEN TO
WED AT rs; GIRLS AT 20
Father Confessor Says Brothers and
Sisters Should Consult as to
Regulations Of Their
SWeethearts

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21-A big brother
is the best adviser for a girl who in
tends to get married. This is the doc
trine the Rev. Father J. J. O'Brien ex-
pounded to an audience of 500 young
people at the parish hall of st. Law
renee O'Toole's church Wednesday
night. Father O'Brien is pastor of st.
Margaret's.
eff girls would spend little of their
time in investigating the character of
the young men who want to marry
them instead of wasting time on long
preliminaries for a wedding said the
lecturer, there would be fewer un-
happy marriages.
''The best way a girl can find out
about a young man is to ask her big
brother. If he doesn't know, he can
find out.
"And that works the other way, too.
Young men ought to get their sisters
advice about the qualities of the girls
they think of marrying.
mo young woman should think of
marrying under 20 years of age. No
man should marry under 25.
1t is ridiculous to spend six months
preparing for a ceremony that takes
less than six minutes. It is just as
foolish to make a great fuss about the
ceremony itself.
cit is all right to have relatives and
friends at weddings, but when those
who have no personal interest in the
bride and bridegroom are invited in
large numbers, the occasion becomes a
mere show
The suggestion of trial marriage
was severely dealt with by Father
O'Brien.
"Such trifiing with the sacred insti-
tuition of marriage is impious," he de-
clared. "The church still believes and
teaches that marriage is of divine ori-
gin, and is for life"

ALARM OVER SAFETY OF OIL
BARGE PROVES GROUNDLEss

REDONDO BEACH, Jan. 21-After
casting off the big hawser which held
her in position at the wharf, the oil
barge Roderick Dhu, in charge of the
tug Navigator, drifted toward the
breakers, causing considerable anxiety
for her safety among spectators who
were not aware that she was still made
fast to the new buoys. A hawser from
the boat was made fast to the wharf
until the tug cable was passed to her,
and both boats left for the north short
ly after noon, although Captain Has
hins considered the question of remain
ing in port on account Of reported
storms outside.
The Roderick Dhu depends on the tug
for motive power. and 1t is understood
the captain supposed the tug mad her
cable attached when he ordered the
boat united from the wharf.

Him from CiViIiza-

PASADENA, Jan. 21.-Rumors to the
effect that Joseph Sweigart and his
family, who live in lonesome spot III
Las Casitas, were marooned on theil
hillside home between a landslide which
had blocked one road and the raging
Arroyo Seco stream, were proven with
out foundation by Mr.. Sweigart him
self, who telephoned that he was still
able to reach town, and even if he were
not he had provisions enough in the
house to withstand a month without
communication.
There are three roads from the Swei-
CART place. The one through the arroyo
is impossible because of the storm
waters, but the other two are open
although one of them is deep in soft
dirt which slides from the face of the
mountains.
A fire Of last summer swept this por-
ton of the mountain side clear OF
brush, and the soil, without the friend
~ support of the bushes, became sat-
urated and slipped down hill.
