SAN PEDRO NOT CONCERNED
AT CONSOLIDATION DELAY
Willing to Allow Senator Savage the
Small Satisfaction of Sixty
Days Grace

SAN PEDRO, March 4.-Although
the latest reports from Sacramento
seem to indicate that the consolidation
bills will probably be amended so as to
take effect sixty days after being
signed by the governor, little concern
is shown among the enthusiasts here
who have been waiting for several
years for the time to come when san
Pedro and Los Angeles could unite as
one city.
That only two months more delay
shall occur is not considered serious or
vital to the question, and if it will be
of any personal satisfaction to Senator
Savage to have the consolidation cleo
ton delayed for that period, many have
expressed themselves today as willing
to let the delay occur.
Others are inclined to be relentless tn
the lone obstructionist who has fought
consolidation so long and vigorously.
and say that no concessions of any kind
should have been granted.
That the bill is being carefully safe
guarded and watched on every hand is
known here, and if the siXtyday clause
has been allowed on the original bills 1t
is thought the amendment will not
work a hardship to this city or Los
Angeles.

BEACON STREET BUILDINGS
LEFT IN AIR BY GRADING
San Pedro's Main Street in Most De-
pIorabIe Condition by Attempt
at Improvement

SAN PEDRO. March 4.-On account
of the regarding of Beacon street up
the hill from Sixth the buildings on
the west side of the street are being
removed and the lots excavated TO a
level with the new grade of the street.
Little work is being done on the I'M
provement, the Pacific Electric tracks
still remaining in the air on the OLD
grade, while on each side the street
has been dug away fifteen feet. Small
hope for permanent Improvement Is
in sight in the near future, for When
the tracks of the electric line have been
lowered and the contract completed the
hill will then only have been regarded
for a block and a half, beyond which
an impossible grade will be encoun-
tered, both for teams and pedestrians.
Should the property owners south OF
the cut consent to the completion or
the new grade out to Tenth street the
improvement will be greatly appre-
ciated. as a small per cent grade VIII
then have been furnished the residents
on the south hill. In the meantime the
people are saying some very uncom-
plimentary things about those respon-
sible for this condition of the main
street of the city.

POLICE HAVE CLEWS THAT
MAY CONVICT iNCENDIARY
Discover Man Who Set Fire to Negroes
House Worked in Bare
Feet

PASADENA March 4.--Clews which
may lead to the arrest and conviction
of the incendiary who set fire to two
houses in Winona avenue which were
owned by negroes are in the hands of
the police and it is possible an arrest
may be made within a short time, al
though the evidence so far secured is
not sufficient to warrant conviction.
The man, whoever he was, worked in
his bare feet and, according to the po-
lice, left clews behind him which will
be of the utmost Importance.
Inquiries in the neighborhood of the
two fires have led to the discovery of
q deep seated objection among the res
idents of the district to the threatened
invasion by the negroes, and, While the
firebug's actions are not upheld. the
public opinion is strongly in favor of
condoning the crime
For that reason the police are hav-
ing a hard time to establish the iden-
tity of the man they are after.

ly. The amount expended will exceed

edifice will be awarded soon.

SANTA MONICA WILL

OLD ARCADIA HOTEL WILL BE
REMODELED
Plans Prepared for Improvements Il
Cost Grandchildren Are Ex-
pected to Subscribe 100000
In Stock

SANTA MONICA. March 4.-After
much agitation the prospects of really
first class hotel for this city seem to
be bright.
The Kensington Development COM
pany is the name of rently organized
company, which is planning to take
over the old Arcadia hotel property and
make extensive alterations and addl-
tions which will place that former
famous hosiery in the front rank OF
beach resorts, and at the same time VIII
restore the city of Santa Monica to It's
place on the map as mt place TO en-
terrain travellers seeking health and
pleasure from all parts of the world.
The plans that are the most favored
by the present members of the COM
pany, according to ALT Morris, who is
one of the incorporators and general
manager of the company, are for the
issuance of about $500 900 in stock, two
thirds to be common and the other third
preferred.
Mr. Morris is ready to take $4,000
worth of each, citizens of Santa Monica
being asked to purchase the rest.
The plans call for additions to the
present building sufficient to make a
hotel of $50 rooms, each to be thorough
~ modern in every respect, having the
convenience of hot and cold, salt and
fresh water baths.
Remodel Building
The exterior of the building is to be
so changed that to all intents and pur-
poses it can be called a completely new
structure. This will be accomplished
by using what is known as pebbled &C.
ment, making a beautiful building OF
California style similar to reinforced
concrete.
1t is expected that Mr.. Morris will
have the active management of the
resort, and he promises a table unsur-
passed by anything on the south coast.
The location chosen by the company
Is an ideal one ample room being avail
able for a beautiful scheme of land
scape gardening on the side toward the
city, while the view of the Crescent
bay obtainable from any part of the
grounds is the most magnificent to be
had. The bathing beach is but a short
walk from the place, and there is in
cluded in the property involved suffi-
cient land on the beach for the erection
of a private bath house and dressing
rooms for the use of the guests of the
establishment.
Mr.. Morris and his fellow promoters
have the work of interesting the rest
of the capital needed to undertake their
enterprise we'll advanced, and it will be
only a matter of a short time before
actual work will be begun on the
building. 1t is intended to have the
house ready for guests during the COM
ing Elks convention at Los Angeles in
July.

DISCOVER JAPANESE

San Pedro Citizens View Actions OF
Five of Mikado's Subjects with
suspiclon-Use Fine
Camera

SAN PEDRO, March 4.-Talk of jap
anese spies who are busy making
charts and taking pictures of the I'M
fortified coast of Southern California
has appeared in the papers emanating
from Santa Monica or Hueneme or
other points, but until today nothing
of the kind had aroused suspicion
around this harbor.
Early this morning; however, some
excitement was caused out on the
bluffs overlooking the harbor and
Dead Mans island by the action OF
five well dressed Japanese who were
taking photographs of the harbor en-
trance and other points.
AS one reliable citizen expressed II,
"Those photos were not of the ordinary
short focus type, but the camera used
was an expensive and elaborate af-
fair and undoubtedly the detail on the
several views taken was we'll nigh per-
feet. I don't know if there is anything
significant in the Japanese taking
these big pictures of our harbor, but II
certainly looks suspicious"

Many of the members are in favor of
securing a park of their own of suf-
