CHARGE MAN FORGED
DEED FOR PROPERTY
RECENT LOS ANGELES RESI-
DENT ARRESTED
z. L. Schiffino Arraiqned Before JUS
tice and Held for Preliminary
Hearing Under Bonds
of $4,000
| IspeolaI to The Herald. l

LONG BEACH, June 19.-Charged
with having forged deed to a lot in
Knoll Park, f. l.. Schiffino. lately a
resident of Los Angeles, was arraigned
before Justice Brayton here this morn
ing and was held under bonds of $4,000
for a preliminary hearing. His arrest
in Los Angeles followed long inves-
tigation by Police Chief Williams and
Detective Phillips.
The deed which Schiffino is alleged
to have forged was one to lot No. 2 in
block B of the Knoll Park tract, a
high class residence section. A real
estate firm here recently found pur-
chaser for the lot. but the abstract
company reported that on April % the
property had apparently been trans
ferred by the owner, Bremen Is. Har-
ris. an eastern man, to one G. Vain.
The father of Brenner X, Harris lives
here. He at once declared the deed a
forgery By tracing a check which had
been passed in connection with the
transaction and by calling on the no
tary whose seal was attached to the
deed, the police connected Schiffino
with the transaction and, the officers
say. when he was taken before the no.
tary he was identified as the man
whom Wan had introduced to him as
Harris. Since his former visit to the
notary Schiffino had shaved off his
mustache.
George Hart. the attorney who has
been retained to look after Schiffinos
interests, says the notary was one Sha-
fer, with whom he is not acquainted.
Schiffino formerly lived at Seven
teenth street and Orange avenue, this
city. His home burned down some
months ago and the fire chief and 9TH
ers claimed to have found evidence
that the fire was incendiary.

and wife for the possession of their
two children ended late last night
when Judge Oster awarded the Gus
tody of the little boy and girl to Mrs
Wakefield and gave the father the

God cannot be everywhere, so ne
made mothers" is the quotation clted
bv the court when he announced MS
decision. He expressed profound sor-
row for both the parents and explained
the only thing which could be taken
under consideration in awarding the
custody of the children was the fitness
of each as custodians of the welfare
of their offspring.
In rendering his decision the court
swept aside illusions in regard to the
conduct of Mrs. Wakefield with George
sutton, an employe of the Santa Fe
AT Barstow, whose name figured prom
inently in the domestic troubles of the
couple. by holding that actions which
would have been wrong in New York
or other cities were evidently not con-
sidered such by the residents OF Bar
stow. 1t was necessary to hold
night session to complete the hearing.

TO PROTEST AGAINST
GIVING AWAY TRACT
CITIZENS WILL HOLD MEETING
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Railroads and Banning Wish to Secure
Land at Mormon lsland-Ant
Petition Signed by Many
Voters

SAN PEDRO, June 19,-The indig-
nant citizens of San Pedro are today
thanking the consolidation COMMITTEES
for it's action in calling the mass meet
ing for Monday night, which Will pro-
test in no gentle terms against the ac-
tion of the city trustees who are
attempting to give away the whole
5000 feet of valuable frontage at Nor
mon island 10O-acre tract of submerged
land to the Southern Pacific company
and it's ally the Banning company.
The petitions which will be presented
at the meeting of the board Tuesday
have been signed by many citizens who
are not in favor of consolidation, but
who will not stand for this haSty ac-
tion of their public servants.
1t is not known how many signatures
will be on the petitions, but the num-
Der will surprise the trustees. One man
today secured 1S9 names with little
difficulty, and if the citizens are given
the opportunity few will refuse to sign.
There are those who believe that the
Bannings and the railroad should be
given the opportunity to reach their
holdings of less than four acres on
what is commonly known as the Nor
mon island shipyards, but few are
found who stand up for the wholesale
granting of a 100-foot right of way
around the whole eastern and southern
end or the peninsula.
The fact that the tideands is in con-
trovesy and is expected to be recov-
cred for the use of the people is being
taken into consideration.
A leader in the consolidation move
ment said this afternoon: THE appli-
cation of the railroad and the Ban
nings at this time proves to me they
have given up the fight against con-
solidation and are making one last eff
fort to feather their nest before Los
Angeles controls the city. They expect
the aid of the city officials here in as
sisting in the grab. Another move
made by the opposition is the applica
tion for a saloon license at Terminal
island. This would not have been al
lowed if they expected to win against
cons olidation. We will keep up the
fight to the end, even If the opposition
is reduced to minimum, for the end
to be gained is so important we cannot
afford to take any chances"

MAY TRANSFER CONTRACT
FOR SEA WALK AND WALL

LONG BEACH, June 19,-To plan
on taking the contract for the seaside
walk and wall from A. H. CalNins of
Los Angeles, who secured the job on
his bid of $4,000, and to consider the
applications of other contractors to be
allowed to do the work, the west
beach property owners in the assess
ment district will meet at the Hotel
Virginia at o'clock Tuesday night
Calkins has evidenced an inclination
to give up the contract, say the prop
erty owners, as ali he has done in the
months since he secured the contract
has been to ship in some gravel and
build a platform, supposedly for a
concrete mixing machine. Other con-
tractors, it is said, are willing to take
UP the work at the same figure and
hurry it to completion.
The building of the walk has been
long looked forward to as one of the
biggest improvements ever undertaken
along the ocean front at this point.

COMPRESSED AIR VESSEL
ExPLoDES; NO ONE INJURED

PASADENA, June 19.-With crash
like the discharge of a 15-inch gun
compressed air tank in the bicycle shop
of II. w. Shafer of West Colorado
street blew up this morning, tearing
the corrugated iron roof off the build
ing, breaking the rafters which upheld
the roof and smashing all the windows
The rear of the building where the
tank, under pressure of $50 pounds
to the square inch, stood. was com
pletely wrecked by the explosion. The
great tank, after being hurled against
the partition between the rear and
front ends of the store, fell within a
few inches of Shafer and his assis-
tant, Frank Jones, while VIII Seeker
had lust left the window connecting
the workroom with the front of the
store when the broken glass was hurled
with great force directly over the spot
where he had been standing.

WATER QUESTIONS
ONE OF MPORTANCE
MAYOR FARLEY WILL TAKE
ISSUE ON PROPOSALS
City May start Condemnation Pro-
oeedings Against Companies and
Have Value of Plants Fixed
by Courts
Especial to The Herald1

PASADENA, June 19.-Although tho
exact trend of reasoning which will he
advanced by Mayor Thomas Farley In
his reply to the communication of the
anti-wat ter bond party cannot be given,
it is certain he will take issue with
several of the proposals made In the
letter given the public yesterday IN
which the views of that party were
fully set forth.
The main issue will be whether the
committee to be appointed shall follow,
as is suggested by the antis a set
course of procedure or whether it shall
enter into the water question in all It's
details, investigating thoroughly the
claims of the companies and the cor
ditions of their plans and make re-
port which will be a comprehensive re-
view of the entire situation.
There is considerable talk about the
city today of starting condemnation
proceedings against the companies ana
having the value of the plants operat-
ing in this city fixed by the courts.
The Waterhouse or anti-people are
opposed to this, instances having been
given during the course of the last
municipal campaign which show that
often times the courts did not arrive
at the valuation of property and that
the expense of the expert testimony
such d trial would make necessary
would be great.
Some contentious in the letter of the
antis are meeting with warm commen-
dation throughout the city, particu-
larly that section which refers to tho
proposed investigation of the sources
of supply with a view to the future, as
1t is maintained the question of get
ting enough water for future years is
as important as that of acquiring the
present supply.
In connection with this 1t is MAIN
tanned by the ants that the pipes now
laid in the city are in the majority of
instances not strong enough by half to
carry an increased pressure, and 1t IS
urged that in purchasing the plants the
city pay for only such portions OF the
equipment as can be used.
