MISSING GIRL SEEN
BY CAR CONDUCTOR
Police Find CIew Which May Lead to
Whereabouts of Young Woman
Who Disappeared from
Home

Pearl Liston, a pretty 19-year-old
girl who disappeared from her home,
1916 South Olive street, May g, Is be-
lieyed by the police who are searching
for her to have eloped with young
man and that she is in hiding now
either in Los Angeles or one OF the
beach towns.
According to the young woman S
parents she had no reason for leaving
home and they know of no man IN
whom she might be interested VINO
might have persuaded her to leave.
Last night the police received IN
formation that Miss Liston was seen
on a Redondo car coming to Los An
geles on the night of May 9, and that
she was accompanied by young man
who seemed to be devoted in his at
tention to her.
To strengthen the theory that the
Young woman has eloped the police
state that on Sunday last while the
Idstons were at church the house on
South Olive street was entered and all
the girls clothing removed. Ne1ghbors
saw a woman enter the house by the
hack door and later come out with
several bundles, but as her actions
were not suspicious they believed that
she had been sent there by the Listens.
IT is now believed that she was sent
bv Miss Liston, who directed her how
to get into the house and where TO
find the clothing.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
OFFER OF REALTY
War Department to Be Requested to
Reject Territory on Which
Warehouses May Be
Erected

In harmony with the spirit Of con-
solidation the city council will hold q
special session at 10 o'clock this morn
ing to pass resolutions to be presented
to the war department.
These resolutions are to be similar
to the ones passed by the consolidation
commission. They ask that the lag
acres of submerged lands at the west
end of the San Pedro breakwater, ten
dered to the government by the city
of San Pedro. be not accepted. This
land was owned by San Pedro and an
offer of it was made to the national
government on condition that a naval
station be established on the place.
Those favoring consolidation believe
that it will be better to construct pub
lie wharYes and warehouses on the
land, and in order that it may be used
for this purpose the government VIII
be asked to refuse the tender.
The consolidation commission is anX-
ious to get the resolutions to Wash
ington as soon as possible, and for
this purpose the special session of the
council is called. All concerned are
anxious that the wharves and ware
houses be constructed on this land as
soon as possible, and if the government
respects the wishes of the people and
refuses the land steps will be taken
Immediately toward public harbor i'm
provements.
The council will also authorize the
city attorney to dismiss a suit brought
for the condemnation of land near Eliz-
abeth lake for right. of way purposes
for the aqueduct. The controversy be-
tween the city and the owner of the
property has been compromised.
