Let me go! Let me go!' She strug.

His first impulse had been to tell her
everything, but his amazement had
rendered him speechiess. and now he
was thankful for it. Care must be eX-
ercised. She must not learn too much,
for if she suspected the truth she
would go to her soldier lover at once,
and no power on earth could hold her
back. That would block the venge-
nee that he saw shaping in the dank
recesses of his distorted brain.

He let her out, closed the door after

The shells did not suit him, so he filed
the gun with new ones, loosened the
three lower buttons of his vest and slid
the weapon inside his trousers band;
then, facing the direction of Gales

A new minister was installed at
Lockport, N. Y, recently, and the
minister who made the charge said:
DO not organize the church into a
~confederacy of worldly clubs and
trumpery societies, needing the adj
ministrative ability of a railroad
president to run them. The less
knowledge and piety a church has
the more clubs, societies, oysters,

and the faster it gets away from

Competition for MaycraIty Nomination

master May Enter Race

PASADENA, Feb. 4.-Councilman J. D.
Mercereau seems now the strongest candi-
date for the mayoralty, former Mayor
Waterhouse excepted. However, with some
of the Democrats working for former POST
master Kernaghan, there is likely to be
strong competition at the polls But the
Pasadena city election is rarely conducted
along party lines, and the struggle even If
Mr.. Kernaghan enters it, which up to now
he has refused to do, will be entirely along
local issues.
A. G. Merriam and Judge Magee have
practically declared themselves out of the
race.
At a meeting held late this afternoon
twenty-five of the more prominent business
and professional men of the city indorsed
Mercereau for the office, and while he is
not anxious for it the councilman told The
Herald correspondent this afternoon that in
case there was apparent public demand
for his services he would run.
Charles Grimes of the Democratic city
committee is at the head of the George F.
Kernaghan boosters, and if Mr.. Kernaghan
enters the race he will have strong backing
delegation of Democrats will approach
him in a few days with promise of their
support and a demand that he serve.
Asked today if he would consider the
proposal Of his name Mr.. Kernaghan said
he did not care to give an expression of
opinion until the offer had actually been
made by a group of influential enough
to assure him that there was something be-
hind the movement.

HUNTINGTON TO
IMPROVE PORT
REDONDO TO BE EQUIPPED
WITH NEW WHARVES
INCREASE IN SHIPPING NEEDS
MORE ACCOMMODATION
Advantages of Natural Harbor Will
BE Utilized to the Utmost by
Expenditure of Large
Sums
Especial to The Herald l


REDONDO BEACH, Feb. A movement is
on foot headed by H. E. Huntington, to i'm
prove the harbor of Port Redondo and make 1t
one of the principal shipping points of the
south coast The improvements will be in the
shape of new and enlarged wharves capable
of handling many times the present shipping,
and the proposed breakwater may be included
IN the list, although it is not necessary on ac-
count Of the excellent protection the harbor has
from high seas.
With the addition to the commerce already
handled here the oil industry will re-
quire additional wharfage for the pipe lines
and accommodation of the large fleet of tank
steamers which will export to the orient and
South American ports. Additional wharfage
will also be required by the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, its line already having
added three freight and passenger boats which
stop regularly at this port. In April it will
add its two largest ships, the President and
Governor.
1t is not Mr.. Huntington's plan to build for
the present alone. He will improve this har-
Dor for the future, with the purpose in view of
making it one of the great commercial points
of the Pacific. He realizes that the advantage
OF having natural deep water harbor where
the largest vessels can come to dock and feel
that they are assured protection from the ele-
ments is not common this coast, and marks
Redondo as a strong contender in the future
coast and foreign commerce.
From the date of the purchase of the water
front by Mr.. Huntington arrangements have
been in progress looking toward utilizing the
natural harbor ON a mammoth scale, and now
the project is to be realized, hut on larger
scale than seemed credible.
The new commercial wharves to be built
will be of vast proportions, extending far be-
yond the present ones. In their construction
steel tubes and concrete will be used below
the water line. similar to the unique construc-
tion of the power house pier 1t is under
stood that six of these wharves will be con-
structed soon certain minor details are
looked after. Each wharf will be able to ac-
cCmmodate four of the largest vessels, will be
equipped with steam and electric tracks and
will be about 125 feet wide.
Although no official announcement of the
big undertaking has been made, it has been
quietly passed round among friends of those
who in a position to know whereof they
sneak.
