HERMOSA BEACH TO
REMAIN PROHIBITION
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Is
AGAINST LIQUOR
Body Requests Board Of Trustees to
Deny Applications for Licenses.
Land Company Joins
Protest
Especial to The Herald.l

HERMOSA BEACH, August 1.-The
people of this beach have apparently
disposed of the liquor question for
some time to come The action of the
chamber of commerce Monday evening
in passing a strong resolution request
ing the board of trustees to deny the
applications for liquor licenses, both
bar and table, seems to meet with
general approval.
A number of citizens who say they
moved here and purchased their prop
erty with the idea that there would be
no liquors sold in the corporation,
state that if the policy was changed
they would as readily move elsewhere
also.
AS a clincher, that there will be no
liquor sold here, the open letter from
the Hermosa Beach Land and Water
company, which is published in the
local papers, seems conclusive. The
epistle reads in part as follows:
Several petitions have been presented
to the Hermosa Beach Land and Water
company to the effect they would like
the company to consent to liquors be-
ing sold in packages. There is a clause
in the contracts and deeds of our COM
pany reading as follows
Company Against Liquor
"Tt is further provided and cove
nanted with a covenant running with
the land that if at any time said
grantee or said grantees heirs, assigns
or SUCCESSORS in interest, or those hold
ing or claiming hereunder, shall vio-
late any of the conditions herein set
forth, or shall use or cause to be used,
or shall allow or authorize in any man
ner, directly or indirectly, said prem
ises or any part thereof to be used for
the purpose of vending intoxicating
liquors for drinking purposes. whether
such vending shall be done directly or
under some evasiVe guise. that there
upon the title hereby granted shall re-
vert to and vest In the Hermosa Beach
Land and Water company, and said
company or Its successors or assigns
shall be entitled to the immediate pos
session thereof
"The only thing the company can do
is to stand squarely and undeviatingly
on the conditions in the contracts and
deeds. Many people who have bought
at Hermosa Beach and built their
homes there have done so with the
belief that the restrictions would be en-
forced. 1t Is a principle which the
company has established in it's con-
tracts and deeds from which 1t cannot
consistently retire.
"The restrictions as provided for in
the contracts and deeds will therefore
be strictly and rigidly enforced.
"Hermosa Beach Land & Water Co.

FEAR FOR LIFE OF YOUTH
WOUNDED IN ARROYO SEC0
Operation to Be Made Today In Order
to Increase Chance for
Recovery

PASADENA, Aug. with 20 cali
ber bullet lodged in the flesh adjacent
to his left hip bone, Kenneth Knight,
the 15-year-old son of Curtis L. Knight
of so Oakland avenue, lies tonight in the
Pasadena hospital in a precarious con-
dition. That his life will be saved is
the belief of the surgeons in attend
ance, unless complications as yet un-
foreseen set in.
The lad, with a party of companions,
was hunting rabbits in the Arroyo Seco
about seven miles from this city yes
terday when the accident occurred.
Soon after Z o'clock, as they were re-
turning to their camp, young Knight
stumbled and fell. Earl Johnson, who
was behind him, stumbled over the
PROSTATE body and as the two tried to
rise the rifle which Johnson carried was
discharged. The bullet hit knight in
the small of the back, the bullet rang
ing downward.
1t was at first feared the ball had
penetrated the kidneys, but an X-ray
photograph of the body taken today
disclosed the presence Of the bullet In
the flesh surrounding the left hipbone.
An operation for its removal will be
undertaken tomorrow
The bringing of the injured boy out of
the Arroyo to the hospital was attended
with much difficulty. A buggy and horse
were secured from one of the campers
near the scene Of the accident, but it
was after 12 o'clock when the party
succeeded in reaching the corner of Lin
coin avenue and Piedmont street, where
an ambulance awaited them. The lad
was rushed to the Pasadena hospital,
in care of Dr. Lockwood. who luckily
happened to be in the canyon when the
accident occurred. He was very weak
from loss of blood, but the physicians
are confident that following the opera
tion of tomorrow he will speedily regain
his lost strength.

CAN OPENER BECOMES
FASTENED SECURELY
IN MOUTH OF YOUTH

LONG BEACH, Aug. 1.-Richard
Coons of 335 Daisy avenue, small
boy, from the inside of whose mouth
hung one end of a wire can opener, at
tracted general attention as an eX-
cited parent and two physicians hur-
ried him downtown last night, toward
the office of one of the doctors. The
lad was the victim of the most un-
usual accident known in the expert
ence of the attending physicians.
Playing with the can opener, on one
end of which was a ring of wire not
quite closed, the boy put that end into
his mouth. Being a sufferer with
whooping cough, the boy soon had nit
of coughing He came near swallow
ing the can opener and jerked 1t hur-
riedly to pull it out of his mouth. one
of the ends of the slightly opened ring
of wire penetrated his palate ana
hooked there so securely that neither
the boy nor his parents could extract
1t. Neither could the physician at the
house. and 1t was necessary to take
the lad downtown and administer an
anaesthetic.

NARROWLY ESCAPE ARREST
WHILE LAYING FOR WIVES
Pomona Men Watching for Unfaithful
Spouses Taken for Suspicious
Characters

LONG BEACH, Aug. 1.-Two men
from Pomona, who are of the opinion
that their wives, whom they believe to
be unfaithful, are in Long Beach, came
here today to hunt for them. The men
went to the police station and made
the acquaintance of the police, which
later saved them from a possible night
in jail. Deciding that the erring wives
would naturally be inclined to mingle
with the gay Sunday crowd, the men
donned old clothes and stationed
themselves in a favorable place where
they could watch the thrOng. Thomas
Borden, mounted patrolman, was
about to arrest them as suspicious
characters when Sergeant Kutz came
along and, recognizing the men, was
soon told what they were trying to do.
1t is believed that the men donned an
other disguise and continued the hunt
