from sound morning sleep by the
abominable racket made by handling
dishes and plates in the kitchen and

there is no more sleep for me, and I
have become such an expert that
can tell whether the servants are
handling dishes or plates, cups or
saucers, by the difference in sound,

cooking begins by the rattle of the
pots and pans as they are slammed
down on the range.
"If people would only think so,
wooden or papier mache plates and
dishes could be made to answer just
as well as china, and after they once
came into fashion housekeepers would
like them better, for, judging by the
noises floating up from the kitchen,
have an idea that breakage is con-
siderable item of expense. The
help might not be so happy over the
innovation, for rattling plates seems to
have tendency to raise the pitch OF
the young women's voices while ham
ding the china, and perhaps with noise
less dishes the kitchen voices might
be subdued to an ordinary conversa-
tional tone. This, of course, would be
hard on the young women, but for all

not, would be benefited physically by
the change, to say nothing of the inn

CRESCENT BAY SHORE
VISITED BY CROWDS
UNEXPECTED NUMBERS TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF WEATHER
Amusement Places at Venice and
Nearby Resorts Do Big Business
with Tourists Who Line
Beaches

VENICE. Feb. 2S.-Crowds visited the
Crescent bay beaches today, coming in
every conceivable vehicle. The rail-
road company conveyed many passen-
gers from their three and four-car
trains. Some came in buggies, in two
and three-seated rigs and in automo-
biles galore. At one time during the
afternoon more than 100 machines
standing on Windward avenue could be
counted
The miniature railroad did rushing
business, as did the bath house. Many
took advantage of the warm sunshine
to battle in the surf, and the beach from
Ocean Park to Venice was crowded
with people until a cool wind, late in
the afternoon, drove then to seek COM
fort elsewhere.
The beach caterers had all they could
do to attend to the hungry crowds at
the meal hour, not having anticipated
such a rush at this time of the year.
The Chiaferrelli band on the plaza of
st. Marks played to thousands who de-
manded encore after encore and were
satisfied only after their demands had
been complied with.
Altogether it was an ideal day for
even Southern California, such a one
as the eastern tourist imagines when he
is trying to keep the temperature up to
seventy inside, with the thermometer
doing stunts in the neighborhood of 10
degrees below zero and coal $14 ton.
A number of representatives of the
Seattle booster" party who are tour
ing this section in the interests of the
coming exposition were noted in the
crowd and appeared to be enjoying
their outing to the limit

WATER SUPPLIES OF
TWO TOWNS INVOLVED
SUITS AGAINST COMPANIES IN.
JURE MUNICIPALITIES
One Case to Be Tried Tuesday Affects
Ontario and Second Has Been
Decided Against Heights
District

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. ga
most important water suit will be be-
gun in the superior court here Tues-
day. it being the Cucamonga Vineyard
company again the San Antonio Wa
ter company. This involves the water
used by Ontario, and if the plaintiff
wins the city of Ontario will face a
serious problem in the way of water
supply.
The case involves the water from the
famous Cucamonga springs. The Cuca-
monga orchardistS claim the san An
tonic company, by driving tunnels, ana
wells, has drained the springs of their
water and they have ceased practically
to flow. The wtaer from these springs
has been the cause of litigation sew
eral times, but in no suit tried has
there been a satisfactory settlement of
the difficulty in spite of the fact large
sums have been expended.
The outcome of the water suit of the
Yucaipe Land and Water company
against the South Mountain Water
company, involving the water supply
of the Heights district in the city OF
Redlands, as decided by Judge Hutton
of Los Angeles after a ten weeks trial
here, causes the Heights district also
to face a more or less serious situation
and problem.
Judge Hutton. in the decision, gives
the South Mountain company, which
supplies the Heights, 52.5 inches of wa
ter, when in fact it has been using
five times that amount This water
was pumped from the Yucaipe country
in violation, says the court, of the
rights of the residents of that section.
The case will be appealed, but there
seems to be little chance of the decis-
ion being reversed. it is said. and it is
more than probable the South Noun
tain company soon will seek more wal
ter either by development or purchase.

SEARCH MADE FOR MAN
BELIEVED TO BE HURT
RiderIess Horse Captured Indicates
Some One Had Been Thrown from
Saddle and Perhaps Killed

PASADENA, Feb. 2S.-Searchins
parties from Altadena secured the foot
hills of La Canada tonight in search
of an unidentified man who is believed
to have been killed or seriously injured
by some accident to himself and his
horse while riding the trails.
His horse, a mettlesome pony, is II
the pound of the Humane society al
Pasadena, having been captured this
afternoon near Los Casitas by Specla
Officer Trident and two negroes i'm
pressed into service by the representa-
tive of the Humane society.
The animal is cut severely about the
legs, TANKS and head, and saddle anc
bride were much disarranged. 1t is
believed the animal either fell from ont
of the precipitous trails in the foothills
of that section and ran, leaving the
rider injured on the ground, or thai
the rider was thrown and the horse
then ran away.
The cuts are such as might be made
by barbed wire, which points more to {
runaway.

LONG BEACH, Feb. 2S.-George Bon
nell, a man about 40 years old, who,
the police say, has been drinking heaV-
lily. was captured late last night while
playing the part of "Peeping Tom, ="
and was sat on for three-quarters of
an hour by citizen until the arrival
of the police. who had been sent TO the
wrong number.
Ed Weidler of East Ocean avenue, an
employe of the Sunset Telephone COM

man, as the police regard it. Catching
sight of face peering in at the win

before he got far away.
Mrs Wiedler ran to the nearest tele-
phone and called the police. They were
given an incorrect address, however,
and long time elapsed before they
found Wiedler's place.
Bonnell was held under bonds of $50
for arraignment tomorrow and was
taken to the county Jail. There have
been numerous complaints of Peep

during the last two weeks, and the
police believe Bonnell is the man who

TERMINAL RATES FOR
SAN PEDRO ASSURED
NEW WHOLESALE ENTERPRISE
is ORGANIZED
Plan to Compel Railroad Company to
Grant Harbor City Its Rights
Is Believed to Be Sue
cessful

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 2S.-Seventeen OF
the new stockholders of the Harbor
City Wholesale company met today in
the office of Miner p. Goodrich and per-
fected the organization of the new ell
terprise by electing the following board
of directors: w. H. Norfolk, Edward
Mahar, C. Fl. Olsen, G. Litscke, ]. A.
Weldt, C. L. Blanchard. S. S. Leahy,
Miner p. Goodrich and G. A. Williams.
One of the men from Long Beach was
present, but so far no director has been
elected from Long Beach or Whining
ton. The capital stock of the new con-
Germ is said to be $4,000, of which $685.
900 already has been subscribed.
The reported object of the company
is to force the Southern Pacific railroad
to grant terminal rates to the harbor
cities by reason of the showing which
the company is now to make by buying
goods from eastern markets in carload
lots.
Mr.. Norfolk, who is the leader in get
ting the concern started, stated today
he expected to get terminal rates for
San Pedro by March 6, and that the
haste in holding the meeting Sunday
was that not one day was to be lost, as,
with terminal rates here by March s.
the exclusion project would be voted
down at the election March 10.
Many prominent merchants are in the
scheme, which as a business venture is
recognized as a worthy one, but if the
only object in view, and many here so
believe it, is to provide campaign litera-
ture in order to keep Los Angeles and
San Pedro from uniting, 1t is stated
the voters will not be fooled any more
than they were fooled in the petition
for terminal rates which was circulated
by Sam Storer and which Los Angeles
postponed signing, knowing that it was
simply a trick of the anti-consolidation-
list element.

SUNDAY CLOSING OF
SALOONS AGITATED
Measure Introduced in Council Several
Weeks Ago Will Be Called Up
for Action at Next
Meeting

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 2S.-There is
much speculation among the citizens
regarding the position of the Sunday
closing ordinance introduced into the
council by Councilman Miles. The
measure several weeks ago was re-
ferred 10 the committee on judiciary
and ordinance, but has not been heard
from since.
There is a general sentiment among
those living on the north side of the
city that the measure should become
a law. The ordinance provides for the
closing of all saloons and poolrooms
from midnight Saturday night until
noon Sunday.
1t was the original intention to ask
that these places be kept closed all day
Sunday, but after an inquiry it was
learned the measure would be favored
by the greater number if the places OF
amusement were allowed to open at
neon.
1t is understood call will be made
for the ordinance at an early meeting
of the council and the matter discussed
thoroughly.

Anti-Administraton Party at Pasa-

Municipal Election Until
the Eleventh Hour

PASADENA, Feb. 2S.-Politicians in
the city, in their anxiety not to make
a definite move before the administra-
ton party had nominated its candidate,
as it did Saturday night in Judge ii.
w. Magee, have come so close to the
limit of the time in which to file nom
nation papers that the work will have
to be done hurriedly. There remains
for them five days in which to get their
ticket on the official ballot.
Under the ordinances, all names 10
be printed on the official ballot must be
filed with the city clerk one month be-
fore the date of the election. The cleo
ton this year is set for April 8. conse-
quently the Waterhouse faction must
lave its list of candidates for the may
orally and other offices in the hands of
the city clerk before O'CLOCK next
Friday afternoon.
1t is a phase of the situation to which
apparently little attention has been
paid, as the Waterhouse faction has
been awaiting anxiously the decision
of the administration forces before
coming out with its man.
Just who the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
party will favor it is impossible to say
There have been consultations. but
they have been behind closed doors
with the lights turned low and the
keyhole obscured by hat.
George F. Kernaghan, supposed TO
have been the favorite, has put himself
out of the running by his concise state
ment to The Herald Saturday. Coun-
Gilman Crandall may be the man, as
he is for the "peepul' all the time, and
is and has been a favorite with the
ants. William Waterhouse himself
has been mentioned as a possible cam
didate
1t might have been, had Mayor Ear
lev consented to run for a second term,
because Mr. Waterhouse, beaten by
small margin in the last election, is I'M
derstood to have been anxious to try
conclusions again before the public,
but under the present circumstances it
is not believed probable he will run.
Four councilmanic positions are open
this year, those of Ed Braley, council
man at large, of Assemblyman H. G.
Cattel, appointed in midterm to fill
vacancy, and of Councilman c. j.
Crandall and A. E. Barnes.
Messrs. Crandall and Barnes may be
candidates for reelection. Cattel since
his election as assemblyman hardly
will aspire to the office again, although
his proposed resignation at the time of
his election to the higher office was
opposed by the mayor and the entire
board.
Councilman Braley, it is understood,
is tired of his honors and will welcome
a chance to leave the board. There are
no candidates in sight.

VENICE, Feb. 2S.-What is claimed
to be the first free conservatory of mu-

1t is also the purpose of the project
ors of the conservatory to have the
director give lectures on musical sub

In spite of the protestants' declara-
