PROPOSED GARAGE WORRIES

ducing Factor Is Viewed with
Serious Alarm

PASADENA, Aug. 22.-The manage
ment of the Hotel Green is worried over
the reports that a garage is to be built
just south of its east building during
the next few months. Samuel Storrow
of 500 South Grand avenue is authority
for the statement that a building, the
exact nature of which Ire is not sure
of, will be erected on his property just
south of the hotel this summer, and ad-
mits one of the men who is bidding for
the property wants it for a garage.
The hotel management. already sup
piled with noise makers in the form of
a railroad east of the hotel and an cleo
trio line running through the street
which divides the two sections of the
building, is decidedly adverse to the
establishment of the garage. 1t pro-
tested strongly when Mr.. StorrOW cut
down the big pepper trees on his prop
erty, leaving the lot between the hotel
and the Santa Fe station bare and un-
slightly. Vineyard street which ad.
joins the Storrow lot, will be extended
through the property to the Santa Fe
tracks. according to the present plans.

growth of the city had steadily upbuilt
this section until now 1t is well settled
and the water question has been a
serious one.

taken up again and, at a meeting of
the stockholders to be held in the near
future, the bylaws of the company will

GAS RATE INCREASED
BY OLD CORPORATION
25-CENT RAISE WILL TAKE
EFFECT SEPTEMBER |
Announcement Is Made Within Less
Than a Month After Home
Company Is Absorbed
by Merger
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 22.-
Within less than a month after the
san Bernardino Valley Gas company
took over the plant of the Home Gas
company of this city the san Bernar-
dino Gas and Electric company, which
for several years has fought the Home
company on every turn for the control
of the lighting, announced today an in
crease of twenty-five cents per thou
sand in its rate, to take effect Sep
tember l.
Although the managers of both the
newly merged company, which has
taken under control the independent
plants of the valley, and the older CON
Germ, which for many years had a
monopoly. on both the gas and electric
lighting of the city, deny that there is
any intention of a combine, it is the
general belief this is merely the first
move following an agreement between
the two concerns. a further raise even
is expected.

Fiqht Lowers Rates

Following the incorporation of the
Home Gas company in this city six
years ago the fight, which was the re-
suit of the efforts of the San Bernar-
dino Gas and Electric company to re-
tain the bulk of the business, sent the
price topping from the dizzy heights
above 50, a price which was almost pro-
hibftive for the character of the ser
vice, to seventy-five cents per thou
sand, where it has remained ever
since, while the company has extended
its mains to portions of the city which
would not now be enjoying the privi-
lege of gas.
All connections were put in free and
meters installed without deposit The
capacity of the plant was practically
doubled but at that it was said to be
a losing game, as it was impossible to
make a profit at the price the gas was
furnished. The independent company
could not meet the cuts of the older
concern and stopped at 81 per thousand
and at that never paid dividends.

BOYS FROM WHITTIER
ARE STILL AT LARGE
SEARCH FAILS TO DISCOVER
MISSING BOATS
Officers and Victims of Escapade Are
Mystified by Disappearance
of Youths and Lack
of CleWs
Special TO The Herald. 7

AVALON, Aug. 22.-The disappear
ance of the three Whittier state school
cadets, Salzar, Ernst and Weaver, who
are alleged to have stolen the launch
Mike from its mooring two weeks ago,
Is involved in mystery. Although sew
eral launches have passed completely
around the island of. Santa Catalina,
no trace of the boat or of the boys has
been found. The two roWboats said
to have been taken are also adding to
the mystery. Twice the cruiser Nc
Cullough has encircled San Clemente
Santa Catalina and San Nicholas, but
the officers on board are .baffled. 1t is
believed the launch has been sunk or
that the boys are still in hiding, fear-
ing punishment should they be caught
When interviewed today about fur
ther facts concerning the missing
launch Mike, Mrs. Moore of Thorto-
wald Cove, owner of the launch, said:
THE officers of the Whittier state
school say it was almost impossible
for the boys to run the boat, as neither
of them knew anything about ma
Chinery. They do not believe if the
boys have taken it that they could go
any distance with it.
"Col. Moore, my husband, is almost
confident they have taken the launch
and that they were the parties who
stole gasoline and some groceries from
Mr.. Pearson, under the cover of night
at the isthmus. If the boat was re-
turned no questions would be asked,
but we cannot understand why no
trace of the rowboats, launch or boys
has been found"
Boat Built Strongly
For the past two weeks no storms
have been reported and Mrs. Moore is
of the opinion that pending a severe
northeast gale, the Mike would out
live the tempest The boat was built
to special designs for Col Moore, and
a quantity of sail was on board, so
the boys would have but little trouble
to convert the craft into a small yacht.
At the time of the disappearance the
only hope the youths could have had
to gain their liberty was to cache pro
visions in the hills, steal a launch un-
der cover of night and then make for
the mainland when opportunity pre-
sented itself. The Whittier boys have
not been located nor the rowboats,
nor the launch. and the theory is that
some assistance from an unknown
source has been given to them. The
groceries taken from Mr.. Pearson at
the isthmus were valued at about 50.
which included a five-gallon can of
gasoline. The launch Mike was val
ued at $3.50.
