WILL ASK CONGRESS
FOR APPROPRIATION
LUMBER C0MPANY'S PETITION
SIGNED BY CHAMBER
Federal Assistance Sought for Dredg-
ing Channel from Turning Basin
to End of Existing Harbor
Lines

SAN PEDRO, Jan. S.-The chamber
of commerce this afternoon signed the
petition of the Consolidated Lumber
company asking for a special appro-
priation from congress to dredge a
channel 200 feet wide from the turning
basin in the inner harbor northerly to
the end of the harbor lines as new
established, an approximate distance
of 1900 feet. This channel would con-
meet with the channel now being dug
by the Consolidated Lumber company
from its 50-acre tract northeast of Will
mington. The proposed channel is to
be 200 feet wide, Is feet deep at low
tide and $500 feet in length.
The petition shows that the Conspli-
dated Lumber company has big lum-
Der yard plant and is about to install a
box factory, and that the Pacific Lum-
Der company has obtained from it a
lease for twenty acres of it's fifty
acre tract and will put in a large yard
and planning mill, it being the intention
of the latter concern to dry and ship
redwood to eastern markets.
Although it SENS certain that there
will be no rivers and harbors bill at
this session of congress, Mr.. Condee
who represented the Consolidated Lum-
Der company, told the chamber of COM
merce that his concern was going to
send man to Washington with the
intention of getting the special appro-
priatiOn if possible.

MAN HELD FOR FORGERIES
MUST FACE GRAND JURY
District Attorney of Alameda County
Called to Hear Evidence AGAINST
Frederick Signor-Wit-
nesses Summoned

OAKLAND, Jan. 8.-District Attor-
ney Donohue said this morning that he
purposed sending notices to members Of
the Alameda county grand jury to meet
next Tuesday.
AT that time he will present to them
the evidence collected against Frederick
b. Slgnor, who was arrested yesterday
and has confessed to forging notes ag-
gfegatlng $86O,OO0 on James A. Murray,
the Monterey millionaire.
At present the authorities are holding
Slgnor on the technical charge of forg-
ing note for $4,000. This is done to
prevent him from securing his release
from the custody of the police until the
county can act.
AS the prisoner is practically in the
control of District Attorney Donohue,
to whom Murray made a formal com
plant last night, the police today de-
cline to let anyone see the prisoner.
Neither Chief Wilson nor Captain of
Detectives Petersen will admit or deny
that Signor made a confession. 1t is
known, however, that he did confess to
the forgery, but the speculation now is
who else has been drawn into the case
by his confession.
The following named are the wit
nesses in the Signor case who were sub
poenaed this afternoon by District At
torney Donohue: William Henshaw
Tyler Henshaw, Harry T. Cresswell,
James Murray, G. T. Walker, Capt.
Petersen and Chief of Police Wilson.
All will be required to be in attend
ance at the meeting of the grand jury

EDISON COMPANY HAS
PRESENTED NO OFFER
REPORTED AS READY TO PAY
BONUS FOR PLANT
Opposition to Sale by City Grows in
Strength, Municipal Administra-
ton Being Regarded as Great
Financial Success
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Jan. S.-Something of
the fear in which the Edison Electric
company holds the competition Of the
municipal plant is shown by the state
ment of President Miller at the con-
ference with the city this morning,
when the subject of buying out the
city was up. One of the commission
on negotiations states that President
Miller of the company admitted that
he expects to pay not only what the
city has invested in the plant, out a
handsome bonus as well.
There is a growing opposition since
the first surprised comments to the
sale of the plant under any circum-
stances, for it is felt not only that the
plant has proved itself financial sue
cess, Nbut that it has so materially re-
duced the charges by the company as
to have doubly paid even those not
yet reached by it directly.
MeSSrs. Miller and Edmundson repre-
scented the Edison company at the con-
ference this morning, while Mayor
Farley, Councilman Braley and Cen
eral Manager Koiner of the municipal
plant represented the city. The COM
pany presented no formal proposition
for purchase. These negotiations do
not mean in the least that the city is
thinking of selling out. They merely
indicate that the company has mac e
the city a proposition which the ad-
ministration feels it should consider as
it would any other business matter.

SOCIETY WOMEN WILL ACT
AS EMPLOYEES OF HOTEL
Mean to Fill Positions of BeIIboys,
Messengers and Clerks in En-
deavor to Raise Funds for
Nurses Home

PASADENA. Jan. S.-Society maids
and matrons of position are to sacri-
flee their pleasure for one day and
serve as bellboys, messengers and
clerks for sweet charity's sake. Really,
and women honored by being chosen
for the different tasks.
The object of the stunts which the
girls are to do is the raising funds for
the building of a nurses home at the
Pasadena hospital, where there are at
present thirty-four nurses without a
place they can call their own.
Manager D. NJ. Linnard of the Hotel
Maryland suggested to the managers
of the hospital the plan outlined, and
they were quick to see its possibilities.
The hotel will be turned over to the
hospital for the day, and all tips, the
receipts from the dining room cigar
stand and other forms of revenue at
tached to the hotel, save the rooms.
will be added to the fund for the
home.
1t is probable, although the plans are
not yet complete, that the girls who
take the part Of the bell boys and
messengers will adopt some sort Of a
uniform, possibly something like the
one worn by the French maids in farce
comedy.
The date on which the society women
will take over the hotel is fixed for
January 80, and at that time a par
ticularly elaborate menu for luncheon
and dinner will be prepared. Many
parties are being planned for these
as well as for the musicale, which will
be held at the hotel in the evening and
at which the best of PaSadena'S mu-
sicians will appear.

LOS ANGELES HIGHWAYMEN
SUSPECTED OF BURGLARY
Local Police Think Men Who Robbed
SoImano's Saloon Broke Open
Safe at Heck's Meat
Market

PASADENA, Jan. S.-Two robberies
were reported to the police this MORN
ing, and one of them, the officers think
was the work of the two mon who held
UP the Sormano saloon in Los Angeles
last night. These men are believed to
have escaped from the southern city
on a Pasadena car, and it is the opin-
ion of the officers workina%on the local
robbery that they were DE ones who
opened the safe in Henry Heck's meat
market at Is North Fair Oaks avenue,
some time during the night.
Entry to the market was secured
through a rear door, which was merely
secured with a hook. Once inside, the
mentor there were two, it is believed
cut the combination from the small
safe in the private office with a cold
chisel and hammer. With this obstacle
removed they found it easy to swing
the door open and loot the safe. They
got $66 in cash and left behind them,
as Improbable plumber, checks to the
amount of several hundred dollars.
The other robbery apparently was
the work of Second-story man
equipped with pass keys. He entered
the house of Sidney Guest, 1850 South
Pasadena avenue, and stole a gold
watch and chain valued at $135 and a
penknife valued at 81.

RESIDENTS HOPE TO
OBTAIN GAS SUPPLY
MANY PROPERTY OWNERS
SIGN AGREEMENT
Real Estate Boom Regarded as mmi-
nent, and Many Tracts About to
Be SubdiVided in Antici-
patton

GLENDALE, Jan. Seas is the great
topic of conversation these days among
the residents Of Tropico and Glendale.
Nearly 400 property owners have signed
an agreement to pay $1.25 a thousand
cubic feet for the first year and 81 90
per thousand thereafter. Those who
sign now will be supplied with d gas
meter free of charge and will also have
the piping laid to the house. This i'm
provement will increase the value of
property in this section and many
tracts of land will be Subdivided at
once.
The Tile company, owner of twenty
five acres, will subdivide, and the Rich
ardson property will be cut up into
building lots, for the boom is expected
to come with the gas improvement.
DR.. Garman, the leading real estate
dealer of Tropico and a large land
owner, has purchased the property on
Tropico avenue and Brand boulevard,
1 is boosting the gas proposition.
Mr.. Grisworld of the water company is
so strongly in favor of the gas.
The Tropico Improvement club is
working hard among the residents to
get them 20 sign the agreement.
Only one man has been found who
does not want gas and he is a real
estate man and has just opened a large
tract on Glendale avenue, where he has
about 100 lots ready to put on the
market.
The Pacific Electric has the right of
way and no one would be benefited. A
general house-cleaning is going on all
over Tropico and the streets and curbs
are being cleaned and weeds and grass
destroyed.
The Pacific Electric has turned on
the electric light at the Tropico sta
ton and painted up the waiting room.
George w. Winterburn has built a
beautiful bungalow on Boynton street
and is now occupying same. Two more
bungalows will be built on the same
