EXPECT VICTORY FOR
PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS
MUNICIPAL DOCKS AT LONG
BEACH FAVORED
Project Is Really the viii of the
People at Long Beach.
Opposition Opens
Headquarters

LONG BEACH, Sept. 2.-Members of
the campaign committee predict that
tomorrows election on the question Of
voting S245, 900 in bonds for the pur-
chase of municipal wharfage will re-
suit in a victory for the progressive
citizens who are in favor Of municipal
docks.
It is believed the majority will be so
large as to show the project is really
the will of the people.
The campaign has been one of edu-
cation and for fear that for lack Of
information regarding the harbor many
might oppose the bonds the campaign
committee has maintained q headquar-
ters and operated excursion boats on
the harbor daily. These trips have
convinced hundreds of people, it is be-
lieved, of the advisability and neces-
sity of voting the bonds. A list of the
voting places follows:
Precinct /, rear of 1906 East Ocean
avenue; precinct 2, 1911 East First;
precinct g. Atlantic avenue school
house; precinct 4, B. & r. garage; pre-
cinct 8, city hall; precinct 6, Ebell
club house; precinct Z, Daisy avenue

DEMONSTRATION
Man Who Fought Flames for Years

Esnecia1 to The Herald l

OCEAN PARK, Sept. MANY nota-
BILE engineers and business men were
present at a demonstration of a wave
motor by former Fire Chief George C..
Hale of Kansas City at the Marine
street pier this morning.
The inventor has been working at
his machine for the most part of twen-
ty-five years, and a refreshing feature
of his demonstration is that he Is
neither trying to sell his patent nor
stock in a company to promote it.
The little machine was very favor
ably received by the assemblage, and
the sentiment was expressed that it did
all that its maker claimed for 1t.
Those who witnessed the test were
Walter Lips, chief of the Los Angeles
fire department; p. A. Cooney, fire
chief of New Orleans; George w.
Harding, engineer in charge of the
new hall of records, Los Angeles;
Lieutenant Leeds, United States engi-
neer Los Angeles; w. H. Kelley, Unit
ed States engineer; Robert Hack, New
York city; Denton Flood, w. A. AL
derson and w. F. Loughry of Los An
geles.
Mr. Hale's leaning toward invention
has proved of great value to the fire
fighters of the United States, the wa
ter tower in use in New York and 9TH
er eastern cities. also the collapsible
harness in use throughout the country,
being the product of his mind.

crews started out last night, Horticul-

expected that most of the infected dis
trict will be fumigated this winter,
about 1000 acres in all.
Redlands postal receipts for August

August of last year.
The Casa Iona hotel, scheduled to
close last night until the opening of
the tourist season, will be kept open
all summer, but run on a modest plan.
There are many guests in the house
who expect to remain there all fall and
winter, and it was decided the busi-
ness will justify keeping the hotel
open.
The Elks have appointed a building
committee to secure plans and esti-
mates OF the cost of erecting an Elks'
home on the lots purchased two years
ago for the purpose. These are at
the corner of State and Third streets.
There is considerable opposition to
putting the building there and other
sites may be considered by the com

Book is Popular
One of the books of the moment is
M. Frederic Lollie's volume on Auguste
de Morny, half-brother of Napoleon
III. 1t gives many side lights on an
interesting and picturesque career De
Monry emerges from these intimate
pages, in which his conquests-inan-
cial, political and sentimental-are re-
vealed neither diminished nor exalted;
he may be said to be merely human
med.
Not overburdened with scruples feel
ing that money was the god one ought
to strive for, he had yet extraordinary
charm of manner-a charm that be-
longed particularly to the circle in
which he was born and always moved.
Before M. Lollie's Investigations, which
seem to have been carried out with
great thoroughness, we knew very lit
tie of this figure, which, according to
some, was the real ruler of France. He
left only scrappy and vague docu-
mentary traces.
He flashed across the political firma-
ment like a meteor and disappeared,
with all the suddenness of an appari-
ton, in the night of time, leaving the
barest debris behind. He was not an

hearts of living men rather than on the
printed page.
Certain legends are destroyed by M.
Lillie-notably the supposed conversa-
ton between the duke and De Maupus.
prefect of France, on that famous De-
cember 2 of the coup d'etat. "They arc
firing on us from the grille" was the
legendary message of the prefect to his
chief. "Then fire from your grille" was
the answer.
1--WE shall want a couple Of cannon to
keep them in check" is supposed to
have been the next appeal, to which
De Morny replied, "Oh, go to bed!"
The historian suspects that this con-
versation was afterward arranged by
people who wished to flatter the esprit
and promptitude of the duke in all
emergencies. The book is valuable
enough as giving us more light on
really brilliant period of French his
tory.
