WILLIAM SIMPSON AGAIN
AFTER SANTA MONICA DOGS
Man Who Worked Self Out of Job
Is Back in Office

SANTA MONICA, July 7.-William
Tecumseh Simpson, who resigned as
city dog catcher last winter because he
rid the community of all CANNES with
out tags, has again taken up his Of
ficial duties and has declared war on
stray dogs.
Speaking from the standpoint of a
dog expert, Simpson says Santa Monica
is the most peculiar place he has ever
seen in regard to canine productive
ness. lie was appointed dog catcher
last January and served twenty days,
after which he sought employment
elsewhere, declaring there were nc
more dogs TO conquer or execute.
Within a month the streets were
overrun with tagless dogs and he again
took up his work for a few days Then
he resigned Profiting by his expe-
rience, Simpsons friends say he will
fulfill the official duties with meas
ured dignity and avoid exceeding the
city speed limit.

CONVICTED GAMBLERS TO
WORK OUT FINES ON BEACH

LONG BEACH, July THE six
men who were unable last night to
nav the fines assessed after their ar
rest in an alleged gambling room in
the Esplanade apartments on the Pike
are still in durance vile and say they
cannot pay their way out.
At Chief Meyers suggestion they
will probably be set to work clearing
the beach of piling and other wreck
age accumulated during the recent
high water Today the men assisted
the CITY hall ianitor in work on the
lawn. A view of the room occupied
by the men was gained by the police

LONG BEACH TO START
REPAIRS ON LONG PIER
City to Use $4,000 in Putting
Wharf in Good Condition
Once More

LONG BEACH, July THE council
last night voted to have immediate
temporary repairs to the pier effected.
This afternoon the board of public
works was in conference with con-
tractors and ii is probable that one
of the contractors will start work to-
morrow morning. The repairs were
estimated last night to cost SIG, 700
There will be AIS piles driven $4,000
feet of lumber will be used in repair
ing the superstructure and $4,000 feet
of lumber will be necessary to repair
the lower deck. The labor is esti-
mated to cost $500. the piling $1S,15O
and the lumber $3050.
The board of works submitted esti-
mates of the cost of repairs and i'm
provements in this part of the pier
which would have been necessary even
had the storm not occurred, to pre-
pare the pier for the hauling of rock
to fill in under the outer wharf, a pre-
Viously accepted method of permanent
repair That work it was reported
would have cost $S50002, including new
piling, lumber, stringers for rails and
the track for hauling rock. This, the
report stated, leaves but $S170 as the
actual extra expense caused by the
storm.
The high tide danger is now over.
Tonight the tide was lower by an inch
than last night. The William Ford
cottage and one other house which had
been undermined fell last night after
the tide had swept up around them.
The residents of the Seaside park
district are now more eager than ever
to secure the completion of the con-
crete walk and wall. which has been
planned to extend from Hotel Virginia
west to the harbor jetties, protecting
all the beach residence property af-
fected by the recent unusually high
tides. The estimated cost of this i'm
provement would be $107,0 900. Some
of the property owners along Ocean
avenue on the bluff have protested
against being included in the assess
ment district. The absolute necessity
of the improvement will never again
be doubted, however.

ENCOUNTER WITH ICE MAN
PROVES SERIOUS FOR GREEK

PASADENA, July S.-The old adage
of when Greek meets Greek" has
been changed in Pasadena to read:
when Greek meets the ice man, then
comes the tong war" John Heliotis
a Greek candy man and ice cream
dealer of this city, reprimanded Albert
Fluke, a driver for the Pasadena Ice
company, for dropping a cake of ice
among a lot of milk cans and other
utensils yesterday morning. Accord
ing to the story, Fluke "sassed" back.
Heliotis struck him across the back
with a broom and Fluke retaliated by
throwing his ice tongs at his assail-
ant The tongs struck Heliotis on the
forearm and the point stuck in the
flesh for several seconds, making a
wound which bled freely and which
required six stitches to close up. No
complaint has been sworn to. Wit
nesses of the affair state that both
were to blame. Heliotis is able to at
tend to his business and no serious
results from his wound are anticipated.

WOMEN READY TO AID

Mass Meeting to Be Held in Mac
cabee Auditorium Saturday

PASADENA, July S.-The women of
Pasadena are expected to take an ac-
tive part in the Pasadena light war
beginning with the mass meeting Sat
urday night in the Maccabee auditor
ium, e5 North Raymond avenue. The
meeting is a regular monthly gather
ing of the recently organized Pasadena
Municipal Light league, to which the
various women's clubs of the city have

members of the league and friends of
the city plant who wish to join in the
support of the municipal juice fac
tory in it's campaign for 1000 subscrib-
ers to make the cent rate perma-
nent.
THE request for women to become
interested in the campaign is not a
sign that we are losing ground de-
clare officials of the league, but rather
a desire to give them a chance to get
first hand information regarding the
progress of the campaign from our
side"
1t is stated that new contracts for
city current continue to come in daily.
although there has been a natural
slump due to the Fourth of July cele-
bration and the vacation period. City
officials declare that results are high
ly satisfactory considering this fact.
A general discussion will be had at the
meeting saturday evening 10 Sdtllel
ideas from individuals as to how to
keep up interest during the warm
weather.
The Rev. f. G. H. Stevens of the
Lake Avenue Methodist church, and
George Wharton James will lead the
discussion. Several leading club wO-
men of the city will also be asked to
take part in the program. All women
of the city who have the welfare of the
municipal plant at heart or who wish
to become interested in the campaign
will be welcomed at the meeting,
whether members of clubs or not.

This is taken to mean that the high
way commission will subscribe literally
from the good roads fund for the build-
ing of approaches to the structure,
which is designed to become n part of
the foothill boulevard system connect
ing the san Ga briel and san Fernando
valleys. The Endorsement of the high
way commission is given added sig
nificance from the fact that the board
of trade was asked to determine what
kind of structure is desired by those
most directly interested and that the
Williams Nishkian plans were the ones
unanimously adopted by the latter
body.
Mayor Farley stated yesterday that
c. b. Scoville refused point blank to set
a price on the only piece of property
now necessary TO acquire for a road
way leading to the approach of the
proposed bridge, and intimated that
condemnation proceedings may be
started as soon as other details are ar
ranged as to the amount of money to
be subscribed by individuals of the dis
trict directly benefited and the prob
able amount which the county super
visors will be willing to appropriate
for the structure.
