MAN ARRESTED ON
STATUTORY CHARGE
is ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT
WITH CHILD
Police Save w. S. spoor from Crowd
of Angry Women-Protests lnno-
cence When Taken Before
Judge GARLIC
Especial TO The Herald. ]

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 1.-The feel
ing against Nv. s. Spoor, about so years
old, who was arrested this morning by
the police on a statutory charge, ran
so high at one time that it was feared
he would become a victim to the wrath
of neighborhood mob He was ar
rested on complaint of Mrs. Grace
Clard, who charges him with attempt
ed misconduct with her pretty Agar
old daughter, Dorothy. When hailed
before Judge GARLIC this afternoon
Spoor stoutly protested his innocence
of. the charge, but Mrs. Clard and a
man who was sweeping the street near
the old Crystal bath house at the time
of the supposed crime claimed to iden-
tify Spoor positively.
Mrs. Clard said she missed her
daughter this morning, and when sh ?
went in search of her she found her
in the bath house in company with a
man closely answering the description
of Spoor She told the court that there
was sufficient circumstantial evidence
TO warrant the complaint against
Spoor.
When Spoor was found in the bath
house by Mrs. Clard she is said to have
taken her daughter to her home near
by, then to have closed the door and
held tightly to the knob from the out
side, meantime calling for help. The
police say many women of the neigh
borhood ran in the direction of the
bath house armed with clubs, brooms
and similar weapons. The police ar
rived on the scene barely in time to
prevent severe injury being done to
Spoor.
The prisoner, who is now in the
county jail pending his preliminary
hearing Thursday afternoon before
Judge Carrillo, is a very large man.
He said he came from Los Angeles
this morning to get work which had
been promised him. He denied having
seen the little girl until she was
brought into court this afternoon or
that he was in the vicinity of the beach
at all. Spoor is not known in Santa
Monica.

SUNSET PHONE COMPANY
IS GIVEN NEW MANAGER
Retrenehment in Many Directions Ina
dictated by the Policy Recently
Adopted by Concern

PASADENA, Nov. 1.-Retreneh-
ment in many directions is indicated
by a change today in the local offices
of the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph company, by which Frank W.
Healey, an old-time resident of Pasa-
dena, who has been local manager for
nearly a year, is succeeded by Austin
c. Wright, a former employe of the
company, who has recently been as
sistant manager of the Pasadena Home
Telephone company.
1t is understood the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company is con-
solidating some of its exchanges and
in other cases is putting several sta
tions under the control of one man
ager.
There is to be no change in the local
policy of the company, according to
District Commercial Manager +.
Spoeri, who was experimenting details
of the change today. He stated that
MIR. Healey's work has been very sat
isfactory in promoting the business of
the company here, that the company
has been gaining regularly in sub
scribers and that conditions are very
promising. 1t is said that Mi Healey.
since taking charge of the Pasadena
offices last December, increased the in
come of the company $1,000 per month
by making changes in the telephone
rates, changing party line subscribers
TO individual lines and cutting down
on the number of party lines in the
city by placing fewer customers on
each line. His work in this direction
has been referred to by a high officer
of the company as very unusual.

BANK TO BE OPENED
WITHIN A FEW DAYS
ASSESSMENT ON CITIZENS
SAVINGS PAID UP
License to Do Business Has Beer
Sent for and Is Expected to
Arrive This
Week
Especial to The Herald. ]

LONG BEACH, Nov. 1.-The S62,5
assessment has been paid in by the
stockholders of the Citizens Savings
hank and, on the receipt of a new Ii
Cense from the state superintendent
of banking and the discharge of the
receiver, who has been in charge of
the banks affairs since it closed down
III 1907, the bank will be reopened. It's
new location is in the old Bank of
Commerce rooms az First street and
Locust avenue. The bank formerly
had quarters in the First National
bank building.
The bank closed during the panic of
two years ago. Some time afterward
the depositors and stockholders reached
an agreement that if the stockholders
would raise the amount in which the
banks assets were depleted the depos-
itors would accept their money in in
stallmcnts. All but a few of the de-
positors signed up this agreement.
There were a few stockholders also
who refused to sign the agreement, but
when nearly all of them had done so
an order was secured from the super
ior court dissolying the injunction by
which the directors had been restrained
from attending to the banks affairs
The directors then ordered the first as
sessment of 10 per cent to be paid. This
was paid on all but a small number
of shares and those on which payments
were delinquent were sold. Then the
second assessment was ordered, it be-
ing p IL per cent assessment also. The
stockholders who had paid in on the
first had no inclination to drop out
at this stage. so they have been pay
ing up on both the second and the an
tiCipated third assessment of ) per
cent.
As soon as the money was all paid
in the president. Frank McCutcheon,
wrote to the state superintendent of
banks for a license for the bank. This
probably will be received this week.
and as soon as the proceedings look
ing TO the discharge of the receiver
have been carried out. the bank wifi
be opened. This may be accomplished
by November 10.

INCENDIARIES BLAMED
FOR FIRE IN THEATER
Pastime Moving Picture Show on Pike
Damaged About Two Hun
dred Dollars

LONG BEACH, Nov. IAN Incen-
diary is believed to have set fire this
morning to the Pastime theater, a NOV
ing picture show house on the Pike,
which was damaged to the extent of
about 5000. The front of the theater was
damaged and only by prompt work by
the fire department was the fire stopped
in time to avert a disastrous confla-
grafton such as destroyed Tarrytown-
on-the-Pike two years ago.
Patrolman Brown first saw the
flames. He was near the east end of
the Pike when he saw flames shoot out
from the Pastime. He turned in the
alarm and when the men of the depart
ment started from headquarters they
could see the flames shooting into the
air
1t was rumored at first that crossed
wires were responsible for the fire, but
city officials investigated and found
that no wires were within ten feet of
where the fire started

HARBOR IS VISITED
BY EXAMINER LYON
EXPRESSES SURPRISE AT SIZE
OF SAN PEDRO
Interstate Commerce Commission Off
ciaI Inspects Port in Connection
with Suit for Terminal
Rates


SAN PEDRO, Nov. 1T am sur
prised at the size of San Pedro" said
Examiner Lyon of the interstate COM
merce commission as he visited the
harbor officially this morning before
leaving for Washington. His visit was
in connection with the terminal rate
case Just finished, in which the Harbor
City Wholesale company brought suit
against the Southern Pacific company
and other railroads for terminal rates
for this harbor The evidence is all i'm
and the attorneys will file briefs with
their arguments, the whole proceedings
to be sent to Washington by December
Is.
In the party which viewed the har-
Dor today besides Examiner Lyon were
Attorneys Edwin Kuster, who has rep
resented the Associated Jobbers, and
Miner p. Goodrich, who has handled
the case for the wholesale company;
C. II. Burnett of Redondo Beach and
S. NJ. Storer, president of the chamber
of commerce in San Pedro.
The party went in an auto to Point
Firmin, where MIR. Lyon got a good
view of the outer harbor Returning,
launch was secured and the party
steamed up the inner harbor to the
turning basin and then out to the outer
harbor Mr. Lyon saw the steamer
Riverside, now discharging a cargo of
100000 feet of lumber at the Southern
Pacific slip.
The answer of the railroads in the
rate case stated that the steamers of
the American Hawaiian line could not
enter San Pedro harbor. The River
side was formerly on this run from
Salina Cruz north. Captain Ramase-
Illus of this vessel stated that he has
never seen a vessel of the American
Hawaiian line leave Salina Cruz draw
ing more than twenty-three feet of wa
ter. Hence even the larger ones would
be able to enter San Pedro harbor.
While Examiner Lyon had nothing
to say today on the merits of the case
or the harbor development 1t is be-
lieved he was impressed with the great
future possibilities of this port and the
necessity of having terminal rates here
If the harbor is to have the business
which ii is entitled to handle.

MINER IN HOSPITAL
WITH HOLE IN HEAD
SKULL PIERCED BY DRILL, BUT
MAN LIVES
Walks Five Miles to Camp, Takes
Wagon and Train Rides, but
Never Loses Con-
ciousness

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 1.--Tom
Smith, the victim of the most peculiar
mining accident in southern Nevada,
lies in a Las Vegas hospital, large
hole in his skull and a portion of his
brain gone.
While operating compressed air
drill in one of the mines of the Johnnie
Consolidated company twenty miles
from Amargosa, the steel tool flew
from his grasp from the pressure of
the air, the point striking him on the
head and piercing the skull. Smith,
unassisted, walked five miles to the
camp, and there was placed in a Wagon
and taken to Amargosa and from theirs
to Las Vegas by train.
At the hospital in Las Vegas it was
found that the steel drill had not only
pierced his skull, but that over two
teaspoonfuls of brain matter had run
out through the jagged hole. Smith
never lost consciousness either during
the long ride to the railroad or on the
train.
The accident is considered the most
marvellous ever occurring in the south
ern Nevada mining camps. 1t is stated
Smith has a good chance for recovery.
