LIGHTNING TEMPORARILY
STALLS TRAFFIC OF P. E.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 23.-Lightning
struck a high tension Pacific Electric
wire a short distance from the supply
station at Fifth street and American
avenue, about 2:35 o'clock this after
noon, putting all the machinery in the
supply station out of business, running
a transformer and damaging a big gen.
orator worth $4,000. For an hour all
local cars and the Los Angeles bound
cars this side of Dominguez junction
stood stock still. Hurried repairs were
made to avoid continued interruption
of traffic, but for some time the run
ming of the cars was only spasmodic.
The lightning caused a wild flash and
a terrific roar In the station. The work
men fled from the building. There was
no damage from fire. None was injured
It was stated that the lightning drove
back into the machinery all the cleo
triclty going out over the wires, and
this caused the trouble. There was
continuous rumbling of thunder this
afternoon, and a sprinkle of rain fell
in the northwest and the eastern parts
of town.

CONDEMNED
BY C0MPANY'S MANAGER
John F. Craig Writes Letter About
Case of Man Arrested
for PiCketing

LONG BEACH, Aug. 23.-In an open
letter today John +. Craig, general
manager of the Craig Shipbuilding
company, expressed his indignation at
the failure of the city to make any
convictions in the picketing cases and
gives as his opinion that evidence of
the laws violation was smothered by
the city officials.
I'm the last picket case, law was vio-
lated" he writes. This can easily be
proven, providing city officials will all
low the proper evidence to be given,
but witnesses who could testify. and
who were In the court rooom for that
purpose. were not called on or allowed
to testify. The only reason given by
Chief of Police Meyer was that they
were in the employ of the Craig Ship
building company.
Can you tell us how Chief Meyer
or City Attorney Long could have pro-
tected this striker in any better or
more sure manner than was done by
such action? Can one expect more
from an officer who admitted at the
beginning of the strike that he was in
sympathy with the strike, which
everybody in the manufacturing world
knows was all caused by the San Fran
cisco labor agitation and not by I'M
satisfactory labor conditions here?
''These are a few things we think
the public ought to know, as all we
have ever asked is the protection of
our loyal workmen from the numer-
Gus insults and attacks made upon
them. and this offense the city Off
cials have held is not breaking the
peace. Consequently they could do
nothing to keep the peace from being
disturbed in this manner. As a con-
sequence the anti-picketing ordinance
was passed as a preventive measure"

Equalization Board Unable to De-

of Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 2S.-Because
the company which furnished bonds
for Ralph Bane, defaulting city treas
urer and tax collector, has failed to
reimburse the city for the amount OF
the officials admitted embezzlement,
the board of equalization has been un-
able to decide the tax rate for the
coming year.
The board has made its report to the
city council, but the tax rate was not
fixed and, according to councilmen,
this cannot be arranged until favor
able action is taken by the bonding
company toward paying the $4,000 due
the city. This figure represents the
amount of Bane's peculations. Eff
forts are being made by the city au-
thorities to hasten the payment of the
bond money in order to obviate the
necessity Of raising the tax rate above
what prevailed last year.
