REPUBLICANS NOMINATE
MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES
Platform Denounces Holding of Prize
Fights and Asks for Enforce
ments of Ordinances

SAN BERNARDINO, March 5.-The
Republican city convention this after
noon nominated a ticket and adopted a
platform which denounced the holding
of prize fights inside the city limits;
also asks for the enforcement of all
ordinances regulating saloons and gam
bling as they now stand on the citys
books.
S. w. McNabb was nominated for
mayor in accordance with the result OF
the primaries held last Tuesday, re-
ceiving the entire vote of the conven-
ton The rest of the ticket is:

Parker.
Councilmen-First ward, NJ. P. Sui

A lively fight occurred over the First
ward nomination. The delegation tried
to indorse the name of d. H. Whom
who will get the Democratic nomina-
ton. but the convention refused to in
dorse the plan, and so Sullenger was
named instead Thomas Holmes the
candidate in the Second ward, is a
Democrat and will receive the Demo-
cratic nomination.
The Democratic city convention will
be held tomorrow, and 1t is problemat-
icaf as to who will be named for mayor
1t is possible that McNabb will be in

SAN PEDRO TO ACT
WITH LOS ANGELES
ASK MUNICIPAL WATERWAYS
FOR COOPERATION
Harbor Commission and Council Ex-
pected to Assist in Advancing Sem
timent-Look to Los Angeles
for Results

SAN PEDRO, March 5.-A meeting
of the citizens consolidation committee
was held this morning at which plans
were formulated for the consolidation
campaign At the outset it was deemed
advisable that the local committee
should work in harmony with "A similar
committee from Los Angeles, and as
the Municipal Waterways association
has already taken up the fight and
been helping in the protection of the
harbor, it was decided to ask that or
ganization to appoint a committee to
work on the consolidation movement
which will be started at once. The
election will not be held until the act
now passed by the legislature becomes
a law, sixty days after Governor Gill
lett puts his signature to it.
Besides the Municipal waterways as
ISOLATION, it is expected that much help
will be given by both the city council
of Los Angeles and the harbor COM
mission, both bodies having been doing
all that was possible to further the ad-
vancement of the free harbor sentiment
and the protection of the harbor itself
The voters of San Pedro have eX-
pressed their sentiments strongly on
the question of harbor control pretty
strongly within the past few months
and 1t is now up to Los Angeles to help
along the sentiment of the voters here
who believe the welfare of both the
harbor and the city will be augmented
to a very great extent when the union
of the two cities is consummated.

OCEAN PARK PLANS
POLYTECHNIC HIGH
MEETING HELD TO CONSOLE
DATE WITH MACHADA
Suggested That Municipal Building
BE Turned Into School and
New City Hall Be
Constructed

VENICE, March 5.-The delegation
of citizens who visited the meeting at
the Machada schoolhouse last evening
for the purpose of comforting on a
plan of consolidation of the Machada
and Ocean Park school districts for a
polytechnic high school building, re-
port that an a, reement could not be
reached that would be satisfactory to
all concerned.
1t is now the intention OF the pro-
moters of the project to attempt to
reach a plan of action which will have
as its object the utilizing of the present
Ocean Park city hall property for the
purpose of the high school and induce
the city to build a new city hail at
point nearer the center of the city.
The present city building, situated
at what is called Toxic station, is an
attractive piece of property, but is not
easily accessible to citizens from all
parts of the city, and it is urged the
building and grounds will make an
ideal polytechnic high school, which the
city needs.
BY using this property for that pur-
pose, the originators of the idea say
the city will then have a high school
ready for use when school opens in the
fall. There seems to be growing SEN
timent among the residents of the city
favoring this plan.
Committees will be appointed by the
various commercial and civic organiza-
tions, which will confer and devise
ways and means to carry the high
school plans to fruition.

New York City Marshal Even Puts Up
Money to Help Pay Congre-
cations Rent

NEW YORK. Mch. 5.-Piled high in
the street in trent of IL Suffolk street,
last night, were wooden benches, Ia
bles a few cheap pictures, bookcases
filled with Jewish devotional books,
stoves, stove pipe and all the furniture
of little East Side synagogue. Only
the altar and the prayer desk were
still in the second-story front room OF
the house, where, until o'clock yes
terday afternoon. was the synagogue
of the Chera Akudish Achum Ansche
Shapes congregation. AT that hour
City Marshal Henry H. Lazarus, act
ing under a disposseSs warrant issued
in the second district municipal court,
removed the furniture into the street
for non-payment of a months rent
amounting to $3.50. On the warrant
the name of the owner of the property
was given as Morris Lowenstein OF
20 West Houston street.
When the city marshal and his men
arrived they found about thirty little
children in the synagogue being taught
Jewish prayers by venerable, white
bearded man. The children ran down
the stairs and into the street and
quickly spread the news. A great
crowd gathered and soon lamentations
We're heard on all sizes. Old men tore
their boards and hair and wept, rails
Many women were crying, too, and the
excitement was intense.
Marshal Lazarus explained that he
was acting under orders of the court
and had to do his duty, and as he
talked his men piled the furniture high
er and higher in the street. At last one
of them said to the marshall:
How about the altar? Shall we
bring that down, too?"

he said:

out, order or no order. You let the
altar and the prayer desk stay where
they are and don't lay your hands on
either of them"
Later Benjamin Rodezsky of 81 East
First street, president of the congre-
cation, went to the place. He looked
about the dismantled room and his
eyes filled with tears.
IF the landlord had given us little
more time" he said, 1--WE would have
managed to pay the rent. 1t is only
eleven days overdue. We are very poor
and most of the congregation are very
old. Two died last month and we had
to bury them. That cost $40 each and
then we had to pay their insurance.

what are you going to do with that
furniture and books in the street,"
asked the marshal.
II suppose they must go to the
coal yard" said Rodezsky with catch
in his voice. I'VE have no place to put
them"

Two of the marshals assistants gave
81 each to RodezslSy, but he took the
money in a sort of daze. Later he
was trying to raise the money for the
rent, but he had little hope of being
able to do so, for, as he said. the con-
gregation is a very poor one, and every
penny counts with them.

CHILDREN BRING SUIT
TO COMPEL PAYMENT
MOTHER ASKED TO RETURN
ESTATE OF $500
Money Left Thirty-one Years Ago
with Parent for Heirs Said to
Have Dwindled TO
Nothing

SAN 3ERNARDINO, March "a
strange contest has been brought in
the court here by two children to COM
pei their mother to make good an es-
tate of $500 for which she was APP
pointed guardian thirty-one years ago.
At that time Mrs. Martha Shrode
was appointed guardian for the es-
tate of $500 inherited by her three
children, Georgiana Day, George Isaac
Day and Sarah Elizabeth Day. 1
Last fall the two former heirs filed
a petition asking that their mother
make an accounting of the estate, as
only one account has been filed and
that in 1884.
The mother at once filed her account
by which it was disclosed there is
nothing left of the estate. She shows
S6S7 was lost through a loan to one
Perdew, whose property was fore
closed by other debtors.
The only hope of saving any of the
property is through a note, which was
many years ago placed by Attorney
w. C. c. Rowell in the keeping of the
then County Treasurer Truman Reeves.
1t cannot be found in the papers in
the treasurer's office and there is hope
that Mr.. Reeves may have it among
his personal papers.
The children, however, object to a
fee paid Attorney Rowell years ago,
also to other items in the accounting.
Mrs. Shrode is an aged woman. Since
the estate was first probated no less
than ten persons identified with it in
various ways have died, including at
torneys, judges and others.

LONG BEACH. March 5.-Three
men, accused of sneaking along the

alleged purposes of revenue by black
mail, were taken in charge by the
police last night. One the police say,

they were released. The police had
been alarmed by men who reported
the fellows.
A party who witnessed the opera

kind. some time ago, says while he was

point he watched a couple who sat at

LIMITS OF BUSINESS
DISTRICT QUESTIONED
Attempt to Establish Machine Shop
Starts Quarrel Courts May
Have to Settle

SANTA ANA, March 5.-The question
of what constitutes a business district
and what a residence locality will come
UP for settlement SOON by the city
council as the result of a largely
signed protest of East Fourth street
residents who object to the establish
ment there of a blyacksmith and ma
chine shop by Frank Thompson, VINO
owns a lot on which he is erecting q
building to be put to that purpose.
No official action has yet been taken.
but City Attorney Heathman has ad-
vised Thompson that if he attempts TO
operate a machine shop there he Will
be restrained by process of law.
Thompson maintains that since various
businesses are being conducted upon
either side of his location he has a
perfect right to maintain a machine
shop. and win try conclusions with the
municipality if an attempt is made to
stop him. BY city ordinance the fire
limits are supposed to define the bust
ness district, and Thompson's shop is
outside the limits; but as there is a
planning mill and cold storage plant still
farther out, Thompson contends that
the ordinance should be amended or the
fire limits extended, and that either ac-
ton is out of his jurisdiction. As
Thompson's shop is within less than
two feet of a good residence, the matter
will probably be settled in the court.

JAPANESE POTATO CORNER
is DENOUNCED AS BUBBLE
SHIPPERS DECLARE CONSUMERS
ARE GOLD RRIcKED
Surplus on Coast Must Be Used in
Observation-Disclosures Control
Only 10000 Sacks

There seems to be conflicting reports in the
north concerning the potato market. The
contention that the Japanese had cornered the
market gained some currency ana this con-
tention is now discounted by statement by
the San Francisco potato shippers that the
Japanese potato corner is a bubble These
people declare that the potato market Is prac-
tlcaly no different now from what It was
last October when potatoes sold at soc a sack
on banks except that the quantity is some
what lessened. There were in warehouses at
stockton over 100000 sacks. Japanese in the
state control about 100000 sacks These two
estimates, together with the remainder OF the
stock in the state including Los Angeles and
San Francisco, amount to 500, 900 sacks. 1t is
said Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Colorado
and California have surplus of potatoes,
and that all stock must be marketed by June
to meet the new crop. The potato shippers
declare the people have been gold bricked by
false reports favorable only TO merchants.
They say 1000, 900 sacks must be consumed in
California within the next seventy days. and
that the coast surplus will meet this demand.

tatoes advanced to range of s2Q276. Local
