Count B0ni Loses His Case.

Paris, Msy.-M. Seligman, a repre-
sentative Of the department OF JUS
tice presented his conclusions In the
Castellane.S agan suit In favor Of the
defendant. On December 80 OF last
year the French court handed down
a decision that the three sons OF
Count Boni de Csstellsne remain In
the custody Of their mother, the
princess de Sagan, formerly Miss
Anna Gould. The Count however,
appealed from this decision In May
Of this year and his appeal has since
been argued.
NJ. Sellgman said that the evidence
submitted showed that the Princess
De Sagan had been irreproachable
before her marriage, and that she
had since remained a good wife and
mother. Consequently he recon-.
mended that this court confirm the
decision Of the lower court, giving
her the custody Of the children.
The formal decision will be render
ed May 26.

Captain Barclay that he was walk.
ingin his park one day when he came
ON an intruder in the shape ei an
ass. He seized the donkey and threw
him over the wall OF the park. 1t
was instantly returned, whereupon
the Captain repeated his first per.
Torrance, only to be surprised by
the instant return OF the donkey.
Upon investigation he found that a
gypsy could match him In strength
and the Captain was so much pleas
ed with the powers Of this man that
he granted him permission to Craze
his donkey as often as he wished on
the premises.

man OF her seat, but the Captain
demonstrated with him and bade
him let the poor woman alone, where
upon the stranger waxed saucy, and
not knowing the driver asked him to
come to the ground and settle mat
tiers. The stranger, who was q very
powerful man, rushed at the Captain
like bull dog, only to be ielled to
the ground like log Of wood. He
made one more lunge and received
the second blow, which was enough
to answer every purpose. The
stranger was satisfied and said:
"You must either be the devil or
Captain Barclay" 81 am not the
former" said the Captain, "but l
am the latter.

BASINS OF EAST AND
WEST TO BE DREDGED
CAPTAIN FRIES POINTS TO
EARLY IMPROVEMENTS
Harbor's Development Is Assured If
San Pedro Annexes Itself to Los
Angeles, According to Ex-
pert Opinion
Correspondent Home s7s-
Circulation 1875 9th st.

SAN PEDRO, March 23.-The atten-
ton of heavy taxpayers and opponents
of consolidation with Los Angeles was
called today to a letter written to the
trustees of Wilmington by Capt. Fries,
which strongly points to an early i'm
provement of both the east and west
basins of the inner harbor.
THAT loks good for Wilmington and
the whole harbor development in gen.
eral,' said one large property holder
here, "but it will take some time to
make these improvements. Undoubted-
ly the opening of the west basin will
be of unreasonable benefit to San Pc
dro, as much level land will be availa-
BILE for factory and lumber yard sites.
But the deep draft vessels which are
now ready to come to this harbor will
have to wait for an appropriation from
the government to dredge these chan
nels and also for another appropriation
to deepen the present channel in from
Deadman's island to thirty feet at low
water. How long do you think it will
take? What San Pedro wants, and
wants right away, is the Improvement
of the outer harbor, which can be pre-
pared to receive deep draft vessels
within q year, if we can get the assur-
ance of Los Angeles that the improve
ment will be made at once should we
decide to consolidate. The city today
had $50 acres lying between the gov
eminent reserve and the breakwater,
besides the small acreage on the Miner
fill which can be reached by the 100
foot boulevard out from the extension
of Palos Verdes street.
LET the government make all the
improvements it can for the inner
harbor but let US with the help of Los
Angeles make immediate preparation to
care for the deep draft vessels in the
outer harbor and get the immediate
benefit which we need in this city"

MAYOR TO VETO PURCHASE
OF WANTED STEAM ROLLER
1t Is Claimed Representative of One
Company Offered Money to
Keep Back Machine

SAN PEDRO, March 23.-Mayor
Hanford exploded bomb in the city
council meeting last night, after that
body had voted to purchase a Kelley
Springfield steam roller by announcing
he would veto the resolution. He gave
no reason for his contemplated action.
In the last meeting of the council
the proposition was reported favorably
by the majority of that body and it was
not expected there would be any oppo-
sition on the part of the mayor.
Th-re are at present representatives
of two steam roller companies in the
city and there are ugly rumors afioat
to the effect that one of the companies
made an attempt to retain the services
of City Attorney Swing and also offered
the representative of the company,
whose steam roller arrived last, 500
not to unload its machine.
It is possible the mayor has further
information in regard to actions of this
kind that he will disclose when he
formally vetoes the resolution.
The case is being watched with in

FIGURE EAGERLY ON
LIGHTING SUPPLIES
MUNICIPAL WORK ATTRACTS
MANY BIDDERS
Waterhouse Asserts That When Eiec-
trio Plant Was First Proposed
Companies Were Loath to
Render Estimates

PASADENA, March 23.-More than
two years ago the city first concelved
the idea of installing a municipal cleo
trio plant, the then mayor William
Waterhouse, found it difficult, so ne de-
clares in his campaign speeches OF TINS
year, to get the regular supply com :
panies to grant even a reasonapl
figure on the work to be done and the
machines to be installed.
But the municipal plant is apparently
q bigger factor in the supply work now
than it was then, for today, when the
bids were received for the $4,000 worth
of improvements to be installed at
once. a waste basket hardly sufficed to
contain all the envelopes. Moreover,
two minutes after the time for recelv-
ing bids expired a messenger actually
ran into the room with another one, &C
companied by note saying the would
be bidder had not had time to get a
certified check as was required, put
that the Pasadena National bank would
guarantee it's production.
The decision rests with Superlnteh-
dent Koiner of the municipal plant, VINO
will pick the engine best suited to the
needs of what machinery is already in
stalled and communicate his decision
to the council within two weeks. Street
work, sewers, drainage systems and
other matters of routine were discussed
and a number of permits granted.

SURVEYS OF CHANNELS
ASKED BY GOVERNMENT
Captain Fries VIII Run Lines for
Ways for Vessels Of Deep
Draft

WILMINGTON, March 2s.--The city
trustees are in receipt of letter from
Capt. Amos A. Fries which was read
at the regular meeting last evening,
Capt. Fries stated that he had received
instructions from the war department.
asking for a survey for two channels
to be dredged northerly from the turn
ing basin, one channel to run in a
northeasterly direction, the other
northwesterly, both to be 200 feet wide
and 20 feet deep at low tide. He asked
for information as to the probable
amount of commerce which could be
expected around Wilmington. The
board referred the communication to
Trustee e. Opp with instructions to
secure the cooperation of the cham
Der of commerce in furnishing the
necessary data.
Undoubtedly the channel to the
northeast is intended to connect with
the channel now being dredged by the
Consolidated Lumber company, and the
action by the government is in answer
to the petition sent to Washington by
Manager Wheatley, which asked for
an appropriation to dredge northerly
from the turning basin. This petition
received the Endorsement of the trus-
tees, the chamber of commerce of this
city. the chamber of commerce of San
Pedro and other commercial bodies
elsewhere.
The other channel, if dredged by the
government, would open up the west
basin as far as the holdings of the
Los Angeles Harbor company and
would require a drawbridge through
the Southern Pacific and Pacific Elec-
trio tracks north of Boeschke island
1t also would provide an outlet for any
Improvements put in by the city of
Los Angeles should consolidation be
effected with San Pedro or by that
city should it improve it's frontage by
it's own bonds.
Indications point to a favorable con-
sideration by the next congress Of
these improvements in both the east
and the west basin.
