CONTINUED from Page One,


lenness which characterized Oswald
through all the days of his time upon
the witness stand, but failed! A moral
consciousness Sf his degradation was
displayed in his answers regarding the
character of his business in the un-
derworld, the effect of which was
heightened by his manifest physical
degeneration, of which Oswald shows
no signs.
Face Flushed with Shame
THE pastey face of Savage became
marked with a notified flush as the eA-
animation proceeded. Unlike the story
of Oswald, who had played his ugly
game with a certain mind and steady
hand, the testimony of his defeated
rival was a story Of feeble and angry
efforts to induce officials to aid him
in the defense of his established haunts
Of vice against the attacks of the
younger redlight chief.
II found out Nick Oswald was
around" said the witness morosely,
with detectives and a preacher out
to help him work against me, and a
petition for business men in the dis
trict to sign and get me closed up.

HARBOR VOTE
SWEEPS CITY
BIG MAJORITY ROLLED UP AT
QUIET ELECTION
OPPOSITION BALLOT PROVES TO
BE INSIGNIFICANT
New Record Made When Tally Sheets
Show 80 to for a Great
Free Municipal
Harbor

The election in Los Angeles was a
quiet one. Because of the certainty of
ratification Of consolidation many vot-
ers who favored consolidation heartily
did not go to the polls. The CONSOLE
dated plan of precincts made voting
more difficult and took more time from
voting, and as the Wilmington vote
settled the policy of Los Angeles, Vot-
ers who would have hurried TO the polls
Oh contested election did not think of
voting yesterday.
The opposition vote was so insignfi-
cant as to make the decision to con-
sclidate practically unanimous in Los
Angeles. In nearly one-third of the
precincts there We're actually no votes
against consolidation, precinct No. /,
now nearly thirty miles from the new
est precinct to be added to Los Ange-
les, sustaining its progressive record
by "a vote of 384 in favor and none
against.
1T is a hundred to one shot in Los
Angeles" said John p, Steele, who
managed the campaign details for the
consolidation committee, but it was
even better than that, making new
record in the history Of American mu-
uicipal elections. The result was even
more emphatic than that on consolida-
tion with Wilmington, and settled de-
cisively any doubt as to the attitude
Of Los Angeles on voting harbor bonds.
The big ratification probably will
come Saturday night, when San Pedro
and Wilmington probably will be in
Nited up to the heart of the greater city
for a general handShake.
81 want to see this done" said A. p.
Fleming. II want to see Los Angeles
appreciate what kind of men are COM
ing into her citizenship, | tell you,
when you come to know those harbor
folk and rub up against them and find
tho kind of stuff they're made of. you
are more glad than ever TO have them

"WC have been hearing too much
about the buns and the bad element
who have assumed too important a
station i'm san Pedro, and this has over
shadowed the Importance of the good
citizens down there, who have not nat
urallv pushed themselves forward But
any one who knows san Pedro knows
they are there. and lots of them, and
that they win be a great credit TO Los
Angeles.
Now. I want to see a grand gather
inc and "A better acquaintance and ap-
rraclation of what has been done and
what we did yesterday and what we are
going TO do. ! should like to see Los
Angeles of old know better the new

COURT HOLDS HUSBANDS
MAY SWEAR AT WIVES
AND NOT BE ARRESTED

CHICAGO. Aug. 12.-Husbands may
swear at their wives with immunity
from arrest, according TO the opinion OF
Municipal Judge Commit. Furthermore
he believes that a wife has no redress in
court if her husband threatens to de-
.ert her. If the husband returns home
intoxicated the wife may not have him
arrested unless he beats her.
The Judge stated his position Sester-
day and emphasized it by refusing to Is
sue warrant TO wife who told the
court she believed her husband intended
TO leave her and that she wished him
arrested
'orhe statutes read that wife cannot
testify against h6r husband except in
personal violence and desertion cases
said Judge GemmiiI, land won't Issue
warrants for husbands unless one OF
these Is the ground"

compared with what the harbor devel-
opment will make it,"
John A. Anderson-"The possibilities
of the harbor brought to consolidation
by san Pedro and Wilmington and the
development to be contributed by Los
Angeles will make an asset worth
easily more than 100000 900. It's
fine business prOposition-consolida-
ton"
Lewis Hansen-"I saw, hurrah, and
then, hurrah, some more; Hurrah for
Los Angeles: Hurrah for the harbor!
And hurrah for that man Fleming and
the rest Of them!"
Fran Treichel-"They tried to make
me think they could ruin my business
if | came out for consolidation, but
my wife said, what kind Of Amer-
cans are we if we let them bulldoze
us like that. Now | am getting my
reward. We are going to have great

% years to see this, 1t has been pretty
CALLING to some of us to carry the yoke
so long, but now we are rid of il, and
we certainly ought to be good citizens
of Los Angeles for it,"
Rev. John r. Livingstone-"We have
opened the door of a wonderful op-
portunity for our city by accepting
consolidation, and I look forward to
a wonderful growth. My anger has
arisen when / have heard the slurs
cast on San Pedro in the past, but
know that these are of the past be-
cause consolidation will wipe out
some things Of which we have had to
be ashamed"
A number Of greatly interested spec
tators Of the election celebration at
SAN Pedro We're several Pasadena and
South Pasadena citizens who came
from the Pasadena day celebration at
Redondo to learn the consolidation re-
suit They remained to join in the
celebration.
1T means almost as much to us as
it does to the people right down on
the harbor," said L. A. Wyman Of
South Pasadena, who was one of the
visitors. This is, in fact, tremen-
dously great day for all Southern Cali
fornia, and I think you will find people
all over this section waiting eagerly
to learn the result, for they must ap-
preciate that it is a decision affecting
all of us. For one, ] am very glad
that san Pedro has agreed to join with
Los Angeles and assume the responsj-
bflity of building us a great public
harbor. She will never regret 1t.

that a favorable result for Consolida-

was all over but the shouting so
they shouted most heartily. Some of
the opinions given by consolidation
workers in san Pedro after the result
was announced were:
w. A. Weldon. chairman of the con-
soidaton Committee-"It was a great
fight for a big cause, and was won be-
cause anything else was unthinkable.
Now we must all get at il to build the
big harbor and make all Southern Cali
fornia the gTandest community com
mercially as we'll as naturally in the
world"
f.. D. Seward, secretary Of the COM
mittee-"There has never been such a
result in any election ever held in San
Pedro. Heretofore there have been
strong factional divisions, but for
unanimity of our citizens the consol-
dation election sets a new mark and a
more decisive record than san Pedro
has ever known. The oldest citizens
all say that san Pedro never was so
nearly unanimous as today. That
means that we can forget our factional
differences, drop our old quarrels and
get together for a united spirit IN inc
