BRITISH SHIP
DOCKS AT SAN PEDRO
CLAVERLY BRINGS LOAD OF
COKE AND IRON GOODS
Ton for Transporting Merchan-
disc from Antwerp to CALI
fornia Ports
Especial to The Herald ]

SAN PEDRO, Nov. 29.-The great
saving on freight rates when a COM
petitiVe water commerce is opened by
the means Of a municipality owned and
controlled harbor, which is to be main
tanned by the greater city of Los
Angeles, was illustrated today when
Captain A. Kragh stated that the
owners Of his steamer. the Claverley,
received is shilllngs 6 pence, or about
$3.50 per ton, for transporting mer-
chandise from Antwerp to san Pedro,
a distance of 14,0O0 miles.
THAT rate is given" continued the
jovial skipper, "as freight rate for 5000
tons loaded at two different ports and
consigned to two different ports-San
Pedro and San Francisco"
The cargo for this port consists Of
2000 tons of merchandise, mostly coke
and iron goods, The British steamer
Claverley is of the modern turret type
and is the first vessel of it's kind to
enter san Pedro harbor. The steamer
is of 3S2S gross tonnage, or 2440 net
tons burden. Her nominal horse
power is 339. The owners of the CLAW
erley, B. j. Sutherland e Co. of New
castle-Un- -the-Tyne, also own a num-
Der of other vessels, all of the turret
type Built broad and COmmOdiOus,
without inCOnVenient beams in the
hold and having but one deck, this
class Of fTeighterS has great carrying
capacity A little above the water
line the lines Of the vessel taper in
ward and the superstruCture is mar
row in comparison to the beam Of the
below water section. The effect is
that of a half Whaleback. The regis
tered tonnage is greatly reduced IN
this form of model and hence a saving
of port charges is realized. The vessel
is steady in the water and is less La
BILE to roll or pitch in a heavy sea.
About nine knots an hour is the speed
maintained The vessel drew twenty
feet eight inches this morning as she
crossed thc bar and entered the inner
harbor, where she took a berth at the
Southern Pacific dock just aft of the
British ship Manx KING, which ar
rived last week from Antwerp.
Captain Kragh brings his wife and
two daughters with him. 1t is his
first visit to this coast and he was
greatly Interested in the harbor and
its possibilities.
Il can see that everything is new
out here, but you seem to be planning
for a great commerce" said the cap
tain as he looked over the outer har-
Dor and saw the work being done on
the breakwater, the Miner fill and the
Pacific Wharf and Storage company's
concession,
The trip from Antwerp consumed
seventy-six days Most delightful
weather was encountered and no un-
toward incidents occurred to mar the
passage After discharging the por-
ton of the cargo for this port the
vessel will sail for San Francisco with
the remainder and pick up a cargo
for the return voyage.

SOUNDS DEATH KNELL
OF DRINKING CLUBS
JUDGE OSTER DELIVERS THE
DECISIVE BLOW
Denies Writ for Habeas Corpus for
Release of Proprietor of "order
of the Alamo" of
Upland
Especial to The Herald.I

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 29.-Judge
f. f. Oster of the superior court to-
day sounded the death knell to the
practice of liquor interests breaking
into prohibition towns under the pro-
tectoin of chartered social clubs. The
decisive blow was delivered when
Judge Oster denied the writ for ha-
beas corpus for the release Of James
r. Bond, one of the proprietors Of
the order of the Alamo" recently
raided at Upland and the managers
placed under arrest.
The case was first brought into the
superior court when Bond and his
partner appealed from the decision of
the police justice, who had fined them
$50 each The court, sitting en- banc
sustained the ruling of the police mag
istrate. Friday Attorney Pitts filed his
writ of habeas corpus seeking the re-
lease of Bond on the ground that he
was acting simply in the capacity Of
steward and served the members with
only that liquor for which they had
already paid, bringing it to the club
rooms to be stored for them.
The decision of Judge Oster is Of
statewide interest and means the
breaking up of all similar organiza-
tions, which under the protection of a
state charter are violating the liquor
laws of many towns.

Engaged in Composition of Novel En-
titled "Mah-Nstanneh" Miss Liz
llan Clayton Jewett Unex-
peotedly Drops Out of Sight
Especial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Nov 29.-The sudden
disappearance from this city yesterday
Of Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett, author,
has created somewhat of stir. For a
number of months Miss Jewett has
been engaged in the preparation of a
9S.000word novel, entitled Nah Nish-
tanneh ?" employing as her amanuensis
Mrs. Lillian Mcmillan, assistant in the
chamber of commerce headquarters
The author, it is said, owes MRS. Nc
MILAN for considerable work, and the
amanuensis also holds a bill Of about
$14 for expenses, such as typewriter
rental. the employment of an assistant,
and fines due on books which the
author kept out Of the library overtime.
This morning Mrs. Mcmillan, accom-
panied by Deputy Constable Ed VIII
liams, went to the home of Miss jew
ett's mother and brother at 242S Boulder
street. Los Angeles, and inquired as
to the daughters whereabouts. They
were told Miss Jewett had left last
night for San Francisco. Mrs. McMil-
Ian asserts she will cause the woman
to be brought back, If possible.
Miss Jewett is said to have published
one book, something on the Elinor
Glyn order" Mrs. Mcmillan says.
The book on which she has been
working while here is a story of the
time of Christ The name is said to
mean, "Why is this night unlike any
other night?"

Miss Jewett lived at the Pomona
house. 100 Chestnut avenue. She is said
to have paid her bill before leaving
there. The author is n tall, wan-lOok-

"She wanted to get the forty-three
chapters of this book finished so that
Houghton & Mifiin of Boston could
have it about the first of the year, "
said Mrs Mcmillan today. There are
ten chapters yet to finish. 7 contracted
to complete the first copy, and then
took up. also he second copy. For
about a month l spent each afternoon
at Miss Jewett's room. she would
often sit propped up in bed reading
Josephus and other works, or debating
to me. I had to make lots of correc- |
tions in her writing. Today I received |
a note from her in which she said my
work had not been satisfactory. She
wrote in this letter, In fact, your work
has been invaluable attempting to say !
it had been of no value.
"The writing of this letter was only
one of her tricks, however. for she has
told a number Of persons that she could /
not get along without my help and /
that I got her work up better than
any one she had tried. She kept Jose |
phus' works out of the library so long
that a fine was due. When l called .
at the Pomona last evening to see her
the landlady brought me the copy Of
Josephus and a note which Miss Jewett
had left on it, Give this to the McMil-
Ian woman Was not that impolite?"
