DREDGE TURNING BASIN
IN LOS ANGELES HARB0R
Ships Drawing rs Feet Now Pro-
ceed Two Miles Above
Deadman'S Island

The turning basin in Los Angeles
harbor has been completed and now
ships drawing as high as twenty-five
feet at low tide can proceed into the
inner harbor, about two miles above
Deadman's island and then have suf-
ficient room to turn around In. The
basin is a circular area 1900 feet in
diameter and twenty-five feet deep at
low tide. Work was commenced three
and a half years ago. The dredge that
has been on the job was removed to
the vicinity of Deadman's island and
will be used to remove the silt that
has accumulated there.
From the turning basin an eighteen
foot channel leads up to the Whining
ton waterfront, and another channel
goes about two miles further inland to
the wharves of the Consolidated Lum-
ber company. This channel was
dredged by the Bannings in considera-
ton for a franchise to the Southern
Pacific to the Mormon island penin-
sula.
The new act recently passed by con-
gress provides for channel into the
west basin of the inner harbor as well
as more work in the east basin, also
for deepening the main channel to a
depth of thirty feet. The bill pro-
vides for the building of a government
dredge to do the work If satisfactory
bids are not secured from private con-
Germs.

LIGHTING COMPANIES
PROMISE SCENT RATE
Will Fulfill Pledge if Ordinance Is
Defeated at Polls

The Southern California Edison COM

company and the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric corporation gave out a state
ment last night reiterating their pledge
to put into effect an cent rate, with
a minimum charge of rs cents, II the
light rate ordinance Is defeated today.
They did this because the board of
trade of Hollywood sent out many post
cards stating that the companies will
be in position to charge any rate they
please If the ordinance is defeated to-
day, as there will then be no legal
rate. The statement follows:
THAT there may be no question con-
cerning our offer made to the city
council and to the citizens committee,
contemplating a compromise rate Tor
electric lighting service, we officially
pledge you as follows:
THAT we will put into effect an :
cent rate per kilowatt hour for electric
lighting service, with a rs cent month
ly minimum charge, as per the sched-
ule below, and maintain the same IN
effect for one year from July /, 1870
pending an investigation concerning the
proper charge for such service, If the
ordinance fixing the electric lighting
rates at cents per kilowart hour'
with O. monthly minimum rate or $l
is defeated by referendum Thursday,

with additions and extensions in the
usual manner. Yours very truly

SLAYER OF FELLOW NEGRO
SEIZED IN RIVER BED
Detective Captures Fred Young
After Dash in Auto

A quick run of the chiefs automo-
bile and a sprint of two blocks by De-
tective Talamantes late yesterday
afternoon resulted in the capture OF
Fred Young, a negro, in the river bed'
a short distance south of the Seventh
street bridge.

lice station and locked up on charge
of killing Charles Smith, also negro,
who was shot to death at Ninth ana
Lemon streets shortly after IL O'Clock
Tuesday night.
The police have been working on the
case since the body of Smith was found
in the street shortly after the shoot
ing. AS a. result Of the Investigations
made by the detectives information
was obtained that led the officers 10
believe the alleged murderer would
cross the river bed and make his way
to the home of friends.
The chiefs auto was pressed INTO
service and a fast run was made TO
the Seventh street bridge. Detective
Talamantes saw a man making his
way across the dry bed and sprang
out of the auto and ran toward him.
The hunted man evidently did not see
the officer and quickly threw up his
hands when the detective stuck gun
in his face
Young said he and the dead man
had quarreled over a woman and he
shot Smith when the latter sought to
attack him with stones. smith was
shot in the back, just below the right
shoulder blade. The bullet entered his
right lung and his death was due to
hemorrhage.
The coroner will hold an inquest
over the body.

ENGLAND'S QUEEN IS LOVER
OF POOR LITTLE CHILDREN

LONDON, June T.-"Queen Mary
has loved little children ever since she
was one herself" said Mrs. Kendall,
the well known actress, in opening a
maternity hospital at Leeds, and after
mentioning that her majesty, as prin-
cess of Wales, has for years been the
president of the Children's Happy
Evenings association in London, she
told an interesting story.
While the princess was among the
moor children of Lambeth, she said,
one of the youngsters persisted in
replying to her observations with mo,
missus,1 or Eyes, missus." This led
her to inquire, "Now my little girl,
do you know who I amp" For some
time the child hesitated, and then
blurted out, "wales, missus"

FORM LEAGUE TO
GET CONVENTIONS

Attract Big Gatherings
to Los Angeles
AFTER G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT
Angel City Boosters Also to Try
and Win the Great
Shrine ConClaVe

The Los Angeles Convention league
inent representatives of the various
commercial bodies of this city met in
the chamber of commerce headquarters
and signed articles of incorporation.

ventions, assemblies and other meet
ings.
The two biggest conventions of 1911
are the Grand Army encampment and
the Shrine conclave. San Francisco and
Denver are striving hard to secure
both conventions, but Los Angeles, not
to be outdone, will have the Los Ange-
les Convention league spare no eX-
pense in having both conventions held
in this city. The men present at last
evenings gathering were all of the
opinion that just as soon as the league
has formulated complete plans for its
mode of action efforts should he made
to secure both conventions.
Chairman Flint told OF the benefits
to be derived from a convention league,
and caused mdch enthusiasm. Last
evenings meeting was taken up with
amending the bylaws, which were final
ly passed.
PROMINENT MEN TAKE PART
Among the men taking an active part
in forming the league and who were
in attendance last evening, were:
Fred Detmers, representing the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association;

WANT CAR SPEED

Petition to Take Restrictions OF
Railways Is Denounced
by Mayor
PRESENT ORDINANCE IS GOOD

Time Is Preventive of
Accidents
PRESENT ORDINANCE is GOOD

A petition asking that the city
.ouncil repeal the recently enacted
ordinance governing the speed of street
cars in and about Los Angeles was
filed with Mayor Alexander yesterday
afternoon. The petition to which Is
appended the signatures of loo resi-
dents and property owners OF the city
is characterized by the mayor as an
effort of the Los Angeles-Pac1tic Ran
wav company to discredit the present
administration by trying to make II
appear that the council has passed an
ordinance that cuts down the speeu
Of its street cars to such an extent
that the people are discommoded py

"That petition is asking for some
thing that is vastly inferior 10 Wnat

a Mayor Alexander. "They want us
repeal an ordinance that permits
H. Il cars to run at speed of SIX miles
hour over crossings, twelve miles
4 hour in the business district and
4Wenty miles an hour in the reslden-
tial districts and restore the OLD Or
dinance which only permitted a speed
of four miles an hour over CROSSINGS
and eight miles an hour IN the pusl-
ness districts.
"Tf the signers of the petition would
carefully look at the two ordinances
they would find that we nave Increased
the speed limit instead of lowering IL.
THE request is made that we remove
ali restrictions as to speed limit. Not
with nv sanction will this ever be
done. I do not intend that the streets
of Los Angeles shall be made

condition If we allow these motormen
to run the cars without restrictions as
to speed. .,,.,o,

dodge to 1liscredit the present admin
istration. After the election 1t VIII be
forgotten by the men that circulated
it. 1t is reported to me that the Los
Angeles-Pacific railway is ordering ITS
car crews to run at speed no greater
than six miles an hour all over the
system, whereas they are allowed to
run at a maximum speed of twenty
miles an hour in the residence dis
tricts and at q speed of twelve miles
an hour in the business district"
Meyer Lissner, president OF the
board of public utilities, says that the
new ordinance should be considered
by the public as vastly superior to the
one now in effect, as 1t allows quicker
street car travel. He says it is the
same regulation as that applying to the
speed of automobiles in Los Angeles.
IT was evolved after a test upon a
speedometer equipped car Of the Los
Angeles railway over the street rail-
way lines and agreed upon by the
members of the council, the city at
torney, the board of public utilities
and the chief OF police, who attended
