CALLING OF BOND ELECTION
PLEASES HARBOR RESIDENTS
Coupling of Two Issues Believed at
San Pedro to Insure Passage
of Both

SAN PEDRO, oct. 15.-In the opinion
of many merchants and other leading
citizens here who are following closely
the harbor situation, the action taken
by the council in calling the bond cleo
tion for the harbor Improvements along
with the election to vote on the owens
river power bonds will have the effect
of assuring the carrying of both propo-
sitions, the harbgor bonds being the
most important for the people here.
at was a wise move" said leading
merchant today. II have wondered
when the election for voting the S3,00O,--
COO for our harbor improvements would
be called, but I firmly believe the peo-
pie will support the proposition before
them on the same day. Both proposals
will meet the wishes of the masses.
1.-The vote in Los Angeles of 100 TO L
for consolidation meant that the people
we're ready to vote for the bonds which
were to provide the money to improve
the great harbor which is now under
the protecting wing of the Los Angeles
city charter. The power bonds are OF
vital importance and will provide In
the years which are to come a big rev.
enue for the city. Both propositions
are pure business, and business sa-
gacity will lead the people to vote
strongly for both on January 26.

LASTING PROTECTION

Building of SeVenty-fiVe Thousand
Dollar Breal<water and Filling
In Under the Wharf
Lspeoial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Oct ia costly
and important improvement in the
nature of permanent protection for the
pier here was suggested to the city
council this morning by the board of
public works, and it Is tacitly under
stood that a bond election will be
called in the hope of providing the
funds that would be required.
The 100000 pier has been weakened
by the crumbling of the poor cement
caissons. Temporary repairs have
been unsatisfactory.
About 10000 tons of rock will be used
in the protection of the pier if the
scheme is carried out, and the cost Is
estimated at about S75 900. The scheme
Is to construct a rock breakwater
across the south, or seaward, end of
the pier with wings extending twenty
five feet on each side of the pier and
filling under the pier to high tide line
with rocks. Drawings showing Just
what was proposed were submitted.
The Pacific Electric recently agreed
to furnish rock for this use at cost
and to give the city the services of
their engineer in making plans.

Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Oct. 15.-Mrs. e. Scholl
of 269I Griffin avenue, Los Angeles,
today sought the aid Of the police OF
this city to locate her son, Chancey
Scholl, who she said. was slightly de-
mented on the subject of baseball. He
will talk about the championship
games or other baseball topics with
anyone who will listen. He disap-
peared from the home Of DR.. Lee, Call
averas street and Marengo avenue
August 49, but a man was seen in
Altadena inquiring for that address
last Sunday
Mrs. Scholl is particularly anxious,
as the man did not show up. He ls
described as being 19 years old, about
120 pounds in weight, feet inches in
height, smooth face, medium complex
ion, brown hair and brown eyes. He
wore a blue coat, old straw hat and
worn pair of tan shoes.
With everyone talking baseball, oW-
ing to the game tomorrow, the police
believe they have a hard task on their
hands to locate him. If they arrest
every person who wants to stop an
ether on the street and talk baseball
they will have to place more than half
the population of Pasadena in the city

PROTECTION AGAINST
FIRE TO BE SECURED
PETITION TO CITY COUNCIL TO
BE CIRCULATED
Board of Underwriters Will Ask Co.
operation of Business Men In
Securing Temporary Use
of Steamer
Especial to The Herald

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 15.-If the efforts
of the local board of fire underwriters
are successful, this portion of the con-
solidated city will soon have better fire
protection.
At a meeting of the local board 1t
was decided to ask the cooperation of
the citizens here and especially the
merchants and property owners in
petition to the city council, asking
that a steamer be established here un-
til such time as the proposed salt wa
ter system is installed.
There is today no protection against
fire. The one man on duty is depend
ent entirely on volunteers, but with
not even a horse to draw the apparatus
up the hills, and little pressure in the
mains, he must of necessity work at
disadvantage. 1t is believed that Los
Angeles will take the right view of the
matter and provide temporary protec-
ton until such time as the up-to-date
system can be installed.
The rate war on insurance is caus-
ing the companies to carry the haz-
ard here at ridiculously low figure,
but with added protection, the rates
when raised, should not go back to the
former exceedingly high figures.

VETERINARIAN ACCUSED OF
BATTERY BY A. P. C. A. HEAD
Superintendent thinner of Los Angeles
Society Makes Charges Against
w. A. Boucher

PASADENA, Oct. 15.-Once again
has Superintendent thinner Of the Los
Angeles Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals been injected into
Pasadena affairs Unlike the case at
Tournament park, when the humane
officer attempted to put stop to
push ball race in which horses were
used and was thrown off the course by
Lieut.. Coping of the local police de-
partment, thinner has, according to
the information at hand, sworn to a
complaint charging City Veterinarian
w. A. Boucher of Pasadena with bat
terry.
1t appears that thinner was camp
ing at La Crescenta, where he arrest
ed ]. Harrer of Long Beach, alleging
that HaIrer had a manned and lame
horse and was driving it in that con-
dition. Harrer is said to be a man "A
years of age and was driving from
Long Beach to El Centre with his wife
and grandchildren, where he had rela-
tives. Harrer is afflicted with rheu-
matism and he was on the way to the
desert seeking a climate where his
trouble would not be so severe as to
preclude his gaining living for him
self and those dependent on him.
The trouble is said to have taken
place last Saturday, when thinner
stopped the old man at La Crescenta.
According to the story, thinner gave
the man until Wednesday to secure a
veterinary to examine the animal af-
f1icted. Harrer secured DR.. Boucher of
Pasadena.
DR.. Boucher says that Humane Of
ficer Mitchell went along with him, not
in his official capacity, but as a friend,
and because he wanted a witness. He
did not know that thinner was the ar
resting officer when he went. Accord
ing to Dr. Boucher, thinner laid hands
on him when he went to examine the
horse, after Boucher had disObeyed
his orders to get off the premises. DR.
Boucher denies he struck thinner, or,
in fact, did anything except to brush
him aside and continue his inspection
of the animal. That Dr. Boucher was
physically capable of doing this is not
questioned.
Finally a compromise was effected
and Harrer was allowed to continue
on his way with two horses he was
provided with
