of Civic Organiza-

have been issued to send three repre-

COUNCILMAN HARRIMAN'S
RESOLUTIONS LAID OVER
Move to Have Salaries of Officials OF
Long Beach Reduced Is Not
Approved

LONG BEACH, March S.--Council-
man Harriman's resolutions seeking re-
trenchment in salaries of city employees
were not taken up for second reading
by the council this morning but were
laid over for one week.
Councilman Callahan asked that in
the meantime City Attorney Long pre-
pare answers to several questions sug-
gested by the Hartman resolutions,
principally as to whether the various
city officials have a right to employ
deputies and as to whether the bonds
of the officials cannot be held to pay
the salaries of such deputies, who
Hartman claims have been illegally
appointed.
The council also turned down Coun-
Gilman Daymans suggestion that 500
be appropriated for the purchase of
trees and otherwise assisting the Ebell
club women of this city in celebrating
Arbor day.
The club women will have their cele-
bration, however. Speakers from Los
Angeles will address a mass meeting
in the auditorium, it is planned, and
special exercises may be held in the
schools.

the cry, "See the balloon" and left
on table in the Del Mar cafeteria
wallet containing $40 in money, a
draft for $500, negotiable notes for
nearly $4,000 and two return tickets
to Des Moines.
Moreover, he did not realize he had
lost the wallet until he arrived at Los

friends at 2715 Long Beach avenue.
Payment on the draft and notes was
stopped at once. The police, who
were notified by telephone from Los
Angeles, suspect two women, 1t is
said.
Mccarthy is wealthy business

tention of the crowds outside and
their cries brought the cafeteria diners

at Pasadena

PASADENA, March 8.-H. c
Hotaling, member of the city council
has been chosen as the manager of the
Farley tickets campaign and will en-
ter on his new duties at once.
Both parties are hard at work today
on the preparation of a platform, al
though the planks are not all settled.
The Farley party declares its principal
plank will be based on the contention
that the administration of the city's
affairs during the past two years has
been purely along business lines.
There is small doubt but that the
Waterhouse- Weight party will bring
up the water question again, and they
may have something to say about the
cost of the municipal lighting plant in
it's early days.
At meeting of the Waterhouse
party held this afternoon in the new
campaign headquarters at room ~
100 East Colorado street, former
Mayor M. Weight was selected as
manager of the campaign and w. D
Medill was elected secretary. c. A

Gilman for the sixth ward.

TWo-YEAR.OLD BUCK DEER
CAPTURED AT SANTA MONICA

SANTA MONICA, March S.-A q
year-old buck, estimated to weigh APP
proximately 200 pounds, was captured
in the surf yesterday afternoon in the
presence of a large number of tourists
The animal was winded. and it is
thought hounds had chased 1T from
Santa Monica canyon. and that the
animal had taken refuge in the ocean.
E. T. Woodward of Franklin, Mich,
waded into the surf and succeeded in
bringing the deer to shore. when he
turned it over to c. H. Griffith, who
took the animal to his home and no
titled the game warden of his capture.
The deer is tethered in his back yard,
apparently none the worse for its long
run and subsequent bath; in fact. its
caretaker remarked it had eaten half
wagon load of alfalfa already, and
seemed to be perfectly able to find
room for more.

Must Sell or Pay DAMAGES

SAN BERNARDINO, March S.-M
T. Peters and w. e. Carson have be-
gun suit against Matthews Rapp to Sc
cure $2500 damages or to compel him
to sell his ranch for $4,000. 1t is claimed
that Rapp made an agreement to sell
his ranch for $4,000 with Peters. The
latter acting under that agreement
made a deal with Carson to give him
one third of all he could get above
$4,000 for the property. Carson got a
buyer who was willing to pay $500
for the property, but then it is alleged
Rapp refused to sell. Now they either
want the deal to go through or $500

SCENIC DRIVE DIFFICULT TO
EQUAL PLANNED FOR COUNTRY

SAN BERNARDINO, March S.-A
plan is on foot for building a great
scenic drive about the rim of the San
Bernardino valley, beginning at the
foot of the Arrowhead mountain, north
of San Bernarlino. 1t is planned to
skirt the hills back of Highland, Men
tone and Redlands, ending the road
probably at that point, though 1t is
possible it may be extended to the
hills back of Iona Linda.
The plan has been proposed several
times. but this time seems to have
gained considerable Roadway with ex-
cellent prospect of the scheme being
taken up by the various towns in
terested. No drive could be found in
the world as this, and 1t would present
a scenic panorama difficult to equal.
