MAY CITE TRUSTEES
IN CONTEMPT ACTION
OFFICIALS ELECTION CALL
MAY NOT STAND
Those Who Believe New Order Must
Be Issued VIII Not Brook
Much Longer Delay in
Matter

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 24.-It is impos-
sible to ascertain what action the city
trustees will now take relative to the
election at which vote will be taken
on the division of the city for the pur-
pose Of annexation to Los Angeles.
1t is claimed by some of the opposi-
ton that in it's call for May election
the trustees already have obeyed the
peremptory writ Of mandate which was
issued January IA, ordering the election
to be called at once. But the opinion
of the majority is that the call for May
IL will not stand and the trustees must
obey the court, make q new call, hold
the election and make a return to the
court, all before February 26.
AS ten days already have passed by
without action it is stated by some If
the trustees continue to delay matters
steps will be taken to have them sum-
moned before the appellate court for
contempt.
While the level-headed business men,
who are anxious to bring about a con-
solidatfon with Los Angeles, admit
there is a chance the legislature will
remove the embargo which now pre-
vents the union Of the two cities, they
say they will carry out the present plan
for dividing the city in order to allow
jointure with Los Angeles, unless the
legislature decides the question favor
ably and with as little delay as pos
Sible.
The reports received from Sacra-
mento have been more favorable of late,
but it is an open question if the power
Of Savage and the railroads can be
broken at this time. In any event the
way is open for the consolidation of the
cities, and the voters here already have
signiffed their intention to avail them
selves Of. the first opportunity which is
offered to better the condition of this
city and the harbor.

PERILOUS VOYAGE IN
STORM IS FINISHED
Captain Docks Steamer After Twenty
four Hours of Battling
Against Wind and
Water

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 24.-Having es-
capped disaster by but a narrow mar
gin only again to be driven into a per-
ilous position within twenty hours is
the story told by Capt. Charles Erick>
son, who brought his little steamer
Centralia with a cargo of $4,000 feet
Of lumber safely into port this morn
ing.
The Centralia was bound for this
port from Aberdeen, Wash, and be-
sides the lumber cargo, ten passengers
were aboard, bound for San Francisco
and San Pedro.
While off the Oregon coast between
Cape Arago and Cape Blanco early
last Tuesday morning the vessel was
struck by a fierce storm which drove
her on her beam ends, shifted the
cargo, imperiling both the passengers
and crew.
Part Of the deckload was made UP
Of bundles of lath, and this caused ad-
ditional trouble, portion being lost.
With some difficulty the balance of
the deckload was Strengthened up and
the steamer proceeded to beat it's way
down the coast in the face of the
storm. The next day, January 20,
while off the Mendocino coast the YES
sci encountered a hurricane which con-
tinued for two hours, during which
time all on board were in expectation
of serious disaster.
After passing Point Arena, the wind
having quieted somewhat, the seas
were not so heavy and the vessel pro-
ceeded at slow speed on her course.
One hundred and ten hours were
consumed between Aberdeen and San
Francisco and seven days consumed in
making the whole trip to this port.
The mate corroborates the captain
and states the voyage was one of the
toughest in his experience, and he is
glad to have escaped disaster and to
have reached port in safety.

SUSPECT GETS ANGRY:

OFFICER INTERR0GATES TWO

One Answers Apparently TruthfuIIy,
While the Other Becomes Ugly

Striking Policeman
Especial to The Herald. !

LONG BEACH, Jan. 24.-The Pacific
Electric depot, thronged with persons,
was the scene this afternoon of an ex-
citing struggle between Detective Fred
Phillips and a young man "a years DID,
who said his name was Arthur Crave
ley.
According to the detective, Craveley
struck at him when he was asking him
questions. Phillips knocked the man
down twice, and then Craveley still
fought him, but was overpowered and
taken to jail.
Phillips saw Craveley and another
young man who told the officer his name
was Donald Fassett and that he was
from Newport standing in the depot,
and regarding Craveley with suspicion
Phillips asked the men who they were
and where they were from. Fassett's
story was plainly true, but Craveley
seemed to resent the detectives ques-
tions.
According to the detective Craveley
had on a hat which resembled one
which was taken recently in a robbery.
The police say Craveley admitted hav-
ing been arrested a half dozen times in
nearby cities. He claimed to have been
released each time.

CHIEF FAV0UR's POSITION

Argument That Responsibilities Of

Generally Regarded as Being

PASADENA, Jan. 2.-Is Chief H. H. Fav-
our of the police department to be allowed to
resign without protest, or will the council, in
view of the fact that he has increased more
than twofold the efficiency of the department,
raise his salary to the $500 he demands? The
latter supposition seems to be the favorite
Chief Favour in barely two years has set
an example to the police of this city which
it would be hard for any man less familiar
with the workings of the big metropolitan
departments to follow.
Out Of a force of twenty men he has Sc
cured the maximum of service without in
curing the animosity of any member Of the
force, and II is generally believed that he is
entitled to the increase in monthly wage for
which he asks.
There is little question that his contention
as to the expense of visiting heads Of east
departments is true; and this fact will
be taken into consideration when the matter
is brought before the council for adjudication.

BECOMES WEARY OF
DELINQUENT TAXES
SOUTH PASADENA FINDS HILL
LOTS UNSALABLE
Residents May Vote to Have Property,
UnduIy Doomed In the Past,
Excluded from City
Limits
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Jan. 24.-The city Of South
Pasadena, tired Of maintaining a white ele-
plant, is about to take steps to rid itself OF
the major portion of its delinquent tax list.
Years ago INSCRIPTIONS real estate dealers
sold to persons in the east lots south of the
city on which there not hope Of return.
The lots are mainly in the hills south of the
town and are useless for any purpose other
than that of pasture. Fasteners who bit al
the original offer have since Investigated the
bargain and turned it down cold.
From this source comes the majority of the
delinquent tax list, and it is this which has
given South Pasadena its name as a city where
there are more in proportion to the population
who do not pay their taxes than in any other
place in Southern California. This reputation
the city is anxious to throw off.
1t is probable that in few weeks a move
ment will be started to separate from the city
the lots toward the south which figure SO
largely the delinquent tax list.

T. Fritz last week in the Hassayampa
district, eight miles south of this city
Every piece of the samples shows free
gold and small particles of sulphidcs.
The presence of the sulphides so near
the surface he considers is an indica-
ton of the permanency of the ore body.
The discovery is situated on the east
fork Of Little Copper creek. The vein
crosses the summit of mountain i'm
mediately east of the creek. 1t has an
easterly and westerly strike and can be
traced a considerable distance.
