Postal Receipts for Year Just Con-

MONROVIA, April Lone Of the
most urgent needs of this city is at
last within reach. The postal receipts
for the year ending March 81, 1909, are
$10,679.69, which means that the foot
hill city is entitled to a free delivery.
Ten thousand dollars Is the required
amount, and Monrovia has $S79.69 to
spare. Another condition imposed by
the postal department is well paved
streets and uniformly numbered
houses. In neither of these respects is
Monrovia deficient.
1t now remains for the citizens, aided
by the board of trade, to make an
urgent appeal to the postal authorities
at Washington. Corona obtained free
delivery within nine months after she
had acquired sufficient receipts, and
l-onrovia's citizens hope to accomplish
the same within even less time.

ALL EAGER TO WORK

Committee of Nine Ready to Talk

Elaborate Plans and

SAN PEDRO, April 1.-The member
ship in the San Pedro board of trade
continues to grow from day to day.
many citizens, taxpayers and mer-
chants availing themselves of the OPP
portunity to belong to an organiza-
ton whose stated object is to take
up, discuss and act on any and every
feet the interests of the city of San
Pedro"
AS the question of consolidation with
Los Angeles is the next that must be
settled by the voters of this city, and
as there as many things which will
have to be agreed on before the cleo
ton Is called, there are many besides
the radical consolidationists who are
joining the new organization, which
invites all citizens and property owners
to become members, excepting the
agents of public utility corporations.
The leaders in the movement to let
the people here have an organization
which will be open to all have ex-
pressed themselves very forcibly on
the idea of having the terms of con-
solidation decided before the election
is called, and the committee of nine,
working under instructions from the
committee of thirty-five, is now ready
to meet with the Los Angeles COM
mittee of fifteen.
Chairman w. d. Stephens of the Los
Angeles committee has been notified
that San Pedro is ready to talk terms,
and when Los Angeles is also ready
the committees will get together and
work out the plans and specifications
which, when carried out, will make San
Pedro a free public harbor, open to
the commerce of the world.
The three subjects that probably will
be the first considered will be the
immediate improvement of the outer
harbor, the boulevard from Los An
geles to the public docks, and ware
house sites in the outer harbor, and
the subject of terminal rates, which
latter is bothering the heads of many
here.
1t is rumored here today that an at
tempt will be made to give over the
remaining water frontage in the outer
harbor of 146 acres to the Santa Fe
railway: but it is certain that, if any
attempt is made by the trustees in this
direction radical action will be taken
Immediately by the citizens.

Farley Resents Report That No Money
Changed Hands on Water
Stock Transaction

PASADENA, April 1.-The ameni-
ties of the campaign almost ceased to-
day, when Mayor Thomas Farley
heard that j. Edward Kent, one of the
speakers at last nights Waterhouse
meeting, had declared fatty he did not
believe any money changed hands in
the reputed transfer of 100 shares of
Lake Vineyard Land and Water COM
pany stock which Mayor Farley owned
just previous to the bond election and
which he disposed of at that time to
prevent the charge that he was per-
sonally interested in the transfer of
the company to the city's control at a
high valuation.
'If," he said, when he heard of the
charge, u. Edward Kent has from
500 to $500 or more that he wants to
put up against an equal sum of my
money for the benefit of some char
liable organization, DR.. Schiffman and
myself will make affidavit and soon
show Mr.. Kent whether or not the sale
OF water stock 1 made to DR.. Schiff-
man last fall was bona fide.
"Dr. Schiffman paid cash for the
stock. He received $40 per share on it

REPORT THOUSAND HEAD
OF CATTLE ARE STARVING
Wealthy Owners Said to Be Making
No Effort to Relieve
Sufferings

SAN BERNARDINO, April 1.-Word
has reached this city of the terrible
sufferings of 1000 head of starving cat
tie on the desert near Palm Springs.
Humane officer w. H. Baldwin, to
whom the matter was reported by the
caretaker, will leave for the scene as
soon as possible. Although Palm
Springs is in Riverside county, the cat
tie are just over the line and in this
county The owners are reported to be
men of wealth, but refuse to make any
efforts to save the stock or alleviate the
sufferings
The weather along the range upon
which the animals have been pastured
has been such that the growth of new
feed has been slow, and the cattle have
been unable to secure enough to sustain
them.
It probably will be necessary to haul
feed to the stock before it can be put
in shape to be removed from the bar
rem waste, and Humane Officer Bald
win has notified the caretaker that he
will be held responsible, together with
the owners, unless an immediate effort
is made to relieve the sufferings of the
poor beasts.

IS FREED OF CHARGE OF
ILLEGALLY SELLING LIQUOR

MONROVIA, April 1.-The jury in
the case of the State of California VS..
A. E. Cronenwett, after being out
over two hours, returned a verdict of
not guilty. There are several more
charges against Cronenwett for the il
legal sale of liquor and Walter f.
Dunn, one of the prosecuting attorneys,
says that the state will not cease pros
ecution until every case has been
brought up.
The detectives who furnished the
evidence state that the liquor was
brought to their room by a Japanese.
The failure of the prosecution to show
that this Japanese was authorized to
sell liquor by Cronenwett accounts
largely for the result.
Cronenwett will be arraigned next
Monday on another of the charges filed
against him.
