JEWISH TOWS BOAT
WITH MEN SEVEN MILES
Fishermen Hook Carney Fish and
Three Are Exhausted Before
Bringing 1t to Gaff

LONG BEACH, July 29.-One of the
most thrilling fights with a gamey
fish witnessed in this vicinity in a long
time was that of Johnson Doggett OF
Denver and others aboard the launch
Flyer, Capt. w. H. Graves. a five-foot
jewish resisting their efforts three
hours and forty-fVe minutes and tax
ing the launch along seven miles.
When finally brought to gaff, the
Jewish was seen to be followed by a
huge thresher shark, estimated to
weigh 1000 pounds, whose attacks upon
the other fish are believed to have
been one cause Of its violent gyrations.
Doggett caught the fish while using
light rod and a twenty one Guilty
hunk line.
He kept in the fight for nearly two
hours when he gave up exhausted to
f. II. Housed of Vernon, Texas, who
had landed a smaller Jewish with rod
and line the day previous, and who
stayed with this catch until the mon
ster was subdued.
Capt. w. II. Graves. owner of the
launch was completely fatigued by
his strenuous efforts in aiding the men
and attending his launch during the
extended fight.
The jewish proved a Disappointment,
so far as its weight was concerned,
This was found to be 1872 pounds, while
the fishermen thought they had at
least a 300-pounder hooked, judging
from the way it fought

Especial to The Herald


SANTA MONICA, July 29.-The op-
ponents of the consolidation of this city
and Ocean Park are laying much stress
on the correspondence, recently pub
lshed from the postotfice department
at Washington, stating that free deliv-
cry will not be instituted until the out
come of the special election is ascer-
tanned.
The leaders of the opposition state
that they believe that If consolidation
carries the government Will estaplsh i
main Office at Marine street and make
the Venice and Santa Monica offices
branch offices, and are using every
means to give the matter publicity III
the endeaVor to divert votes to their
side.
The postoffice matter has long been a
sore spot in local affairs, one faction
obiecting to a consolidation of the
Offices on the ground that the santa
Monica office IS the oldest ana that the
town would lose it's identity, II the uh-
ion was made, while the other faction
states that it does not care where the
main office is so long S free delivery Is
assured.
TO refute the theory advanced by the
antis that the consolidationists were re
sponsible for the delay in the estab-
lishment of free delivery, the santa
Monica bay chamber of commerce, al
it's meeting last evening, passed and
forwarded the following resolutions to
the postmaster general:
Resolution adopted by the santa
Monica bay chamber of commerce, rep
resenting leading business and profes-
sional men of Santa Monica ana ocean

ment as to location of main postoftice

PASADENA, July 29.-With bullets
from exploding cartridges flying about

fire house this morning fought fire in
the rear of the house occupied by Z. l..
Bean at 761 North Marengo avenue un-
til all danger of its spreading to other
sheds and the houses in the vicinity
was past.
The fire had its origin in a wood
stove which had been lighted to pre-
pare hot water for the days laundry
work. The woodwork adjacent caught,
and when the fire was discovered at
7:15 o'clock the building was all ablaze.
A number of other outbuildings were
endangered, as were several houses, by
the flying sparks, but the department
succeeded in confining the flames to
the one building. The cartridges were
part of a box stored in the building.
The total loss will not exceed $3.50

STREET THROUGH GROUNDS
FAILS TO WORRY RESIDENT
Proposition to Put Road Within Four
Feet of House as Planned
Does Not Alarm

PASADENA, July 29,-Whether or
not the city council continues Lester
street across Orange Grove avenue
through his property seems to make
little difference to J. Hoyt Smith, n
prominent business man of milwaukee,
who is now travelling in Europe.
Mr.. Smith this past winter purchased
a lot at the corner of Lester street and
Orange Grove avenue and announced
his intention of putting up a $4,000
home in this city. Since the proposed
extension of Lester street has come VI
it has been found that the street, il
cut through. will pass within four feet
of this proposed residence.
This argument has been advanced
several times before the council, but II
does not seem to worry the owner, fol
today he took out a building permit
through the contractor who will han
die the work.
This first contract calls for only q
part of the work contemplated anG
will amount to $4,000.

PASADENA. July 29.-Citizens of
North Pasadena and Altadena are up
in arms at the wholesale cutting and
spraying of fruit and shade trees which
they are being forced to do by the dis
trict horticultural inspector. In some
cases the trees are almost entirely cut
back or sprayed twice, resulting in a
loss of beauty and heavy expense. One
large land owner today said II am
as willing as anyone could be TO nave
my trees cleaned up if they needed it,
but they don't. The inspector must
show me scale on my trees before I
stand for any work on them. He can
go ahead and cut or spray thcm, as he
pleases, but I certainly viii not pay the
bills until I am shown that they are
properlv incurred" Several of the
larger property owners are talking Of
combining and resisting the attempt to
irnnose extra expense on them unless
the county inspectors can show them
evidence Of scale on their trees.
