New Corporation Launched

INGW
The benefits accruing from the con-
troll of freight steamers, as explained
to local business men by Mr. Craig and
his father. aroused local sentiment to
the extent that within the past few
months Long Beach citizens have sue
ceeded in capitalizing a new corpora
ton, the Western Steam Navigation
company, which has awarded to the
Craig company a contract to build a
steel steamship for both freight and
passenger service at a cost of $685. 900.
r. II. Swayne and j. G. Hoyt, San
Francisco shipping agents, are inter-
ested, and George H. Bixby, p. e.
Hatch and Stephen Townsend are
among the local men who have certi-
fed their confidence in the project by
investing heavily in it. A. M. Shook
representative Of the Navigation COM
pany, is enthusiastic over the shipping
business and has interested many
others here in the present project.
About the time that the steel for the
Western Navigation company's ship
was ordered President Craig learned
of the determination of the Hammond
Lumber company of San Francisco to
build a freight steamer. Being able
to offer low bid. by reason of having
specifications and patterns on hand
he secured a contract to build a vessel
ALMOST exactly like the one already
contracted for, the only difference be-
ing in the length and in the cabin ar
rangement.
The keel of the Western Navigation
company's ship is more than half laid
and the work is progressing as rapidly
as is possible. Delays in recent ship
ments of steel and a shortage of skilled
workmen have somewhat delayed mat
ters. President Craig is now in the
east, securing number of trained
shipbuilders. who formerly were en-
ployed by him in the east. He is ex-
pected to return next week.
The ship being built for the Navi-
cation company is to be 260 feet long,
with AZ feet beam and nodded depth
of 1872 feet. 1t will have a capacity
for carrying 100000 feet of lumber,
and also sxty-four first class and fifty
seven second-class passengers. The
ship will be used for coastYise traffic,
and with two exceptions it will be the
largest craft entering south coast har-
bors. It will take the place of the
Redondo, which recently was sold, as
It was not of sufficient size to fill the
demands of traffic.
The new steamer, which will be built
entirely of steel, will have triple ex-

MAN ROUTED BY HATPIN
HELD IN CITY JAIL
Police Arrest Masher Who Has Been
Annoying Women at Some
of Smaller Theaters

e. L. Dickson, a well dressed young
man, who was arrested Friday night
for annoying women in moving picture
shows in South Main street, pleaded
guilty in police court yesterday to i
charge of disturbing the peace pre-
ferred by Miss Marcia and was COM
mitted to Jail for sentence Monday.
According to the police a number of
complaints were made by proprietors
of the theaters in South Main street
that women in the darkened places were
molested by "a young man who would
sit near them and grasp them by the
arms and otherwise annoy them.
Two plain clothes officers were de-
tailed to investigate and traced the
'masher" to theOlympic theater, where
they saw him take a seat next to Miss
Taylor. They watched him closely and
noticed him grasp the young woman
by the arm. Later the patrolmen saw
Miss Taylor move to another seat and
a few moments later Dickson followed
her In an instant she pulled a long
hat pin from her head and told him to
move away or she would jab him with
it. The officers then STEPPED forward
and placed Dickson under arrest.

board of educa ton; 7. II. Kirk and
Judge H. c. Dillon.
Mr.. Wellborn advocated nonparti-
sanship in. municipal affairs, without
departing from the Jeffersonian prin-
ciples. Judge Works said in part;
II know no difference between a
Democrat and a Republican in mu-
nicipal affairs. 1t was in the uniting
of the two parties that we have the
present economic and good government
city officials. But it cannot be expect
ed that the government of a city can
rise higher than the public sentiment.
No one needs to approach mo on any
bribery or crookedness without expect
ing to be thoroughly exposed. But it
can thoroughly regenerate a big city
like Los Angeles"

MUCH MARRIED count"
HELD UNDER $4,000 BAIL
Easterner Accused of Bigamy viii Be
Detained Pending Arrival
of Officers

Karl Won dc Hagen, who claims to bA
a German count, and who was arrested
several days ago, accused of being a
bigamist wanted in New Jersey, was
arraigned in Police Judge Frederick
sons court yesterday on a charge of
being a fugitive from justice. His bail
was fixed at $4,000 pending his prelim-
mary examination, which was set for
January "a. This step is a mere tech
nicality to hold the prisoner until an
officer from Hoboken, N. j., arrives to
take the count east for trial.
Won de Hagen is alleged to have mar
ried Miss Regina Viehelmann of 2501
Third avenue, New York, in Hoboken,
two years ago, and then without having
obtained a divorce married Miss Pearl
Fischer, daughter of a wealthy retired
Chicago grocer now living at 945 South
Bonnie Brae street. The latter cere-
mony was performed in October, 1909
The accused admitted he had lived
with several women in the eastern city,
and declared his marriage with Miss
Viehelmann was not legal because he
did not have a license and owing to the
fact that the ceremony was performed
on Sunday.

and son are extremely enthusiastic
regarding the future of Southern Cali
fornia and the advance of shipping in
this vicinity, particularly with the
opening of the Panama canal. They
regard Los Angeles as a progressive,
up-to-date city, and, like the men who
came here with the company, are
strongly impressed with the attractive
ness of Southern California as a place
to live. as we'll as an important COM
mercial district.

Long Beach Secures Plant

A few years ago the company sold
out its Toledo plant, deciding to move
westward and southward, where
glowing future in shipping was fore
seen. There ensued friendly struggle
between various cities to secure the
plant. San Diego and Wilmington
each hoped to gain the coveted prize,
but at an enthusiastic public meeting
held at Long Beach nearly 100000 was
raised one afternoon by subscription
to pay for desirable acreage along the
new Long Beach harbor, to be donated
to the CraiSs as site. This move
proved successful, and contract be-
tween John Craig, ST., John f. Craig
and the Los Angeles Dock and Termi-
nal company, makers of the Long
Beach harbor, was signed soon after
ward.
The site comprises between thirty
! five and forty acres on channel No. 3,
| the principal channel of the harbor.
The ground is near the ocean entrance
and but a short distance from the i'm
mense bascule bridge which the Salt
Lake Railway company built across
the mouth of the harbor at a cost of
$250,000. in compliance with the war
departments order. The securing of
the plant was recognized as a big
boost for the harbor. as it is expected
to draw other enterprises this way.
Two score carloads of machinery were
shipped here from the east, number
of buildings were put up, including Of
flee building, foundry, machine shop
and electrical building; bulkhead
was put in along the waterfront and
work was begun on shipways and a
dry dock. The first contract given the
new company was for a huge cleo
trical suction dredger for the Western
Marine Dredging company, which had
contracted to complete the dredging
for the dock and terminal company.
The launching of the hull of this
dredger was an event. Soon came the
announcement that President Craig
had secured a contract to build a
$4,000 seagoing tug for the Western
Pacific Railway company. The tug
was built, successfully launched, taken
to San Francisco and is in use, bea tng
the name Vergil Bogue The tug was
built for much less money than the
amounts named in the bids of San
Francisco and other northern ship
builders.

Other contracts are being considered
and there is every indication that the
shipbuilding concern will know no pc

Steel vessels up to 600 feet in length
can be built at the Craig companys

long and one 266 feet, practically sister
ships, are now in course of construc-
ton. They are to be of steel construc-

eight months.
The building of ships Is no expert
ment with John f. Craig, president of
the company, or to the skilled work
men in his employ. John f. Craig has
been a shipbuilder for years. His ia
ther, John Craig, sr., was a shipbuilder
before him, and his son was brought
up in the business. The father still
takes great interest in the business,
but has retired.
The Craig company owned large
plant at Toledo, Ohio, for years, and
there turned-out a large number of the
big vessels now plying on the lakes as
we'll as several now working up and
down the Pacific coast. Among the
latter may be mentioned the Indian
apolis, the fastest vessel on the Puget
sound run; the Iroquois and Chippewa,
on the Victoria run; the Meteor and
Redondo, which have been frequent
callers at San Pedro, and the Buckman
and the Watson, which are operated
between San Francisco and Seattle.
