the most Objectionable, most of the
property owners take the ground that
this street is the only remaining ap-
proach to the outer harbor, and if the
Pacific Electric Railway company once
gets it's tracks down on this approach
it will be hard to gain access to the
harbor.
The fact that the Pacific Electric re-
fuses to ask for the electric road fran
chise directly and allow it to come up
for competitive bids and sale, and pro-
vides a technical provision in its ap-
plication that steam will not be used,
makes the whole application appear
suspicious to many property owners.
That Carl Jorgenson, who yesterday
spoke to the board on the "nigger in
the application" voiced the sentiment
of many, is shown by the hearty ap-
plause his speech brought forth.
The Huntington interests have, in
the opinion of many not kept faith
with the people here who have, through
the trustees, granted them valuable
concession in the Outer harbor which
has never been improved and cleverly
drawn documents that "listen WELL"
but are full of bugs" have made the
people suspicious of any application
that apparently lodges the law which
requires electric franchises to be sold
TO the highest bidder
Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-08

Dor matter when it was almost decided
that Santa Monica was to be the mar
Dor here and insisted that San PEDRO
was the place for great harbor From
then until this present time, when Los
Angeles is saying, Give us chance to
spend $40, ,000, 900 on your harbor! Give
us a chance to make here a city of a
million people! there has never been
a time that Los Angeles has not made
good. Recently she was fighting at
Sacramento for what ought to be hand
ed to you and to us on plate. she
is fighting to recover for the people
the tidelands, which she will have back
within two and one-half years to the
public use, for which it is worth mil
lions.
Judge Los Angeles by her results.
OF course you can trust Los Angeles.
She trusts you. Consolidate, and we
will give the world an object lesson in
building a great port.
Joseph Scott made a characteristic
speech, full of humor, which closed the
meeting. He referred to the efforts the
wageworker may exert through the
ballot. and urged those present not to
allow any man to influence their votes
through intimidation or threats.

VACATION OF STREETS

SAN PEDRO, July 7.-Following the
complete backdown yesterday by the
board of city trustees, who rescinded
their former hasty action on the f. E.
Shaw lease at East San Pedro py
dedicating this 800 feet of frontage TO
the public, the only other matters now

ship company and other corporations
and the application for the steam rail
road franchise on Palos Verdes street
by the Pacific Electric Railway com
pany.
Property owners in the vicinity OF
the lands of the steamship company
are emphatic in their protest against
this Abandonment by wholesale Of tfe the
water front. and property owners on
Palos Verdes street are as emphatic
that no railroad franchise be granted
to tho Pacific Electric at this time over
that thoroughfare.

PRINCE OF PEACE
CAUSES TROUBLE
MAZDAZNAN CONGREGATION IS
DIVIDED
Rev. Adusht Hanish and Rev. T. V,
Jakimowcz Are Leaders of OPP
posing Parties-Defy
Each Other

The Mazdaznan congregation of the
Spenta Mana of Los Angeles is divided
into two factions, each of which is
defying the other and threatening to
take possession of a lot owned by the
organization on Boylston street, be-
tween Temple and Court streets. And
all of this was caused by Rev. Adusht
Hanish, who styles himself "The
Prince of Peace and various other
things Hanish declared that the or
ganization should not be Incorporated,
was immortal and had no need OF
money or assistance Of any kind.
About twenty-five of the sixty MEM
bers of the Mazdaznan agreed with
him, and internal dissensions arose
Both sides laid claim to the lot, for
which $4,000 was raised by the assocla-
ton, and for which but $500 was paid,
1t being alleged that the remaining
$3.50 passed into the pockets of the
Hanish faction. Both sides are making
frantic endeavors to secure the lot, ana
at present the Hanish faction Is in
possession.
Orator Becomes Excited
Yesterday evening at the residence of
Mrs. Emma Collinge, 726B South rig
ueroa street, Rev. r. " JakimowicZ,
who is the leader of the other faction,
delivered a lengthy Grafton on the
merits of the case, setting forth to an
audience of half dozen pale women
and a few foreign appearing men the
principles of the cult and saying that
inasmuch as their branch was the
only incorporated one in the United
States, the lot was entirely their
property.
Jakimowicz, who is robust man,
with a decided German accent, and
who was attired in a long, gray coat
reaching nearly to the floor, worked
himself at times into such a fury that
he nearly fell from his chair. EVERY
thing is good" said he; there is no
wrong in anyone or in anything. But
we must get hold of that lot If we
are broad-minded we find no faults,
for the principle Is not sect or re-
ligion, but an ethic of life. We must
be Incorporated to be recognized: we
do not care what Hanish says, and we
must get hold of that lot. The Los
Angeles members are all right; 1t is
Hanish who Is influencing them. When
he leaves well get back our lot"
One may become a member of the
organization without paying, and al
though no money is required, small
sums, given as an evidence of good
faith, are from time to time expected.

as it is not believed that there are
more than thirty-fve votes at the most
among the Consolidated Lumber COM
pany's employees and no member of
the committee thinks that the company
can control more than three or four of

FROM FIRE BY AUTOlSTS

SAN DIEGO, July 1.-The La Jolla
grove of Torrey pines, said to be the
only grove of those trees in Southern
California, and perhaps in the state,
had a narrow escape from destruction
by fire today, through the carelessness
of some campers.
Occupants of a passing automobile
noticed that the underbrush in the
grove was burning and FASTENED to La
Jolla for help. A party of fire fighters
was quickly made up and hurried IN
automobiles to the scene. After several
hours of hard work the flames were
extinguished and the rare trees saved.

RUMoRs OF OPPOSITION
IN WILMINGTON HEARD

WILMINGTON, July 7.-Voters of
Wilmington are hearing many rumors
that there is unexpected opposition to
consolidation, but the consolidation
committee is unable so far to verify
any such statement. 1t is stated that
employees of the Consolidated Lumber
company are being influenced against
consolidation of Los Angeles and Will
mington.
Among the rumors started Is one
that an official of the lumber company
has heen betting that consolidation will
not carry, and several Wilmington men
are looking for him with money to
place.
Another rumor is that the boast has
been made that the lumber company
will swing eighty-six votes against
consolidation in Wilmington This is
