Municipal Affairs
PLANS ARE COMPLETED
FOR WILMINGTON PORT
Committee on Board of Public
Works Determines Several
important Details

Encouraging words for Wilmington
are contained in a report issued yes
terday by the bureau of harbor i'm
provement of the department OF pub
lie works.
The report states that plans and
specifications have been prepared for
dredging in the inner harbor at Will
mington and building a wharf at the
foot of Fries street, beginning at Unit
ed States station 430 and extending
along the established harbor line in a
southeasterly direction a distance of
$50 feet. The basin is to be dredged to
a depth of twenty-five feet at low tide
and the wharf is to be of creosoted
pile construction.
The wharf which will be forty-fiVe
feet in width is intended to carry two
lines of railroad track and the floor
of the structure will be twelve feet
above low water. The wharf will
also be provided with a gang plank
and float for the accommodation of
small boats and launches. The dredg-
ings from the basin will be so dis
posed as to bring the land adjacent to
the intended Improvement to an ele-
walton the same as the deck of the
wharf: this in order that the water
front shall be readily accessible to team
traffic as we'll as by railroad.
Invitations for bids are being pre-
pared and are soon to be issued. If
the prices submitted are satisfactory
the work will be started at once.
This work is to be done with the
$35 900 bond money voted by Whining
ton before consolidation. The ordinance
providing for the bonds requires that
the wharf be constructed in a certain
place and this fact has handicapped
the harbor bureau because there is
no public road nor other means or
access to the point where the ordinance
says the wharf must be built.
But to overcome this. proceedings
are already under way to condemn a
public road through private land from
the present end of Fries street to the
water front. The council has instruct
ed the city attorney to take the nee
essary steps to condemn this right
of way as well as others and this
is one of the matters on which Leslie
z. Hewitt, special counsel for the
harbor, is at work.

HUSBANDS BOAT CAUSES
SEASICKNESS AND DIVORCE
Mrs. HuIda ScheeIs Says She Can
Not Live on the Ocean

Tendency to seasickness on the part
of Mrs. Hulda Scheels resulted in her
charging her husband, Capt. John Con-
rad Scheels, with desertion, AID in her
obtaining a decree of divorce yester-
day when the case was heard before
Judge Cole of Imperial, sitting Tor
Judge Hutton of the Los Angeles
county superior court.
Mrs. Scheels told the court that she
was expected by her husband to make
her home on the lumber schooner, Far
vola, of which he is captain and which
plies between Southern California ana
Puget sound. Her first visit was her
last. She could not endure the rock
ing of the boat as 1t made her seasick'
and neither did she like the sIilors
who served under the captain. Her
dislike of the sea resulted in their sep
aration. She accused him of deser-
tion as she could not enjoy life on the
rolling deep and he would not reside
elsewhere.
Judge Cole gave her decree, but
denied alimony. She is permitted to
retain residence property at San Pc
dro, valued at $4,000. and he still is
owner of two lots at San Diego valued
at $4,000.

CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAFT
PRIZE FIGHT ORDINANCE
Law to Permit Amateur Boxing
Matches

City Attorney John w. Shenk
promised yesterday that he would try
to get the new prize-fight ordinance
to the city council for its afternoon
session today if an afternoon session
is held.
Mr.. Shenk found some difficulty in
drafting it because of the wide latitude
permitted by the council. The council
merely instructed the city attorney to
present an ordinance to prohibit prize
lighting and set no limitations.
The city attorney is of the opinion
that purely amateur boxing matches
cannot be prohibited. With this idea
in mind he has drawn an ordinance
that will prohibit professional boxing
contests, and he defines the difference
between professional and amateur The
amateur boxes for a medal or trophy,
not to exceed the value of $35, and any
higher than that puts him in the pro-
fessional class. Only four rounds can
be fought, and eight-ounce gloves must
be used.
A permit must be obtained from the
police commission before even an
amateur contest can be held.

COMMITTEE TELLS CHIEF
THERE is PLENTY OF LAW
Advises Police Head to Enforce
Present Ordinances

Enforce the laws as they now exist
and don't ask for unnecessary leSis-
lation is the reply the legislation COM
mittee practically made to the chief
of police when his commendaJlon
for an ordinance to prohibi5 sidewalk
blockading was rejected by the COM
mittee yesterday.
At the suggestion of the chief of po-
lice, the commission had asked for an
ordinance that would prohibit en-
ployment agencies from gathering peo-
pie around their doors and that would
prohibit demonstrators from appear
ing in show windows where they can
be seen from the streets.
There is plenty of law to prohibit
blocking the sidewalks" said Council
man Betkouski. 'If the chief will
enforce the laws he has to work with
he will not need any more legislation
on the subject
And the proposed ordinance went to
peaceful interment in the files.

News of the Courts
MINING COMPANY SUES
FOR 100000 DAMAGES
Seal of Gold Stockholders Make
Charges of Fraud in Prop
erty Transfers

That unusual incident of d gold
brick" being sold for only one-tenth
of it's value forms an interesting part
of the suit of the Seal of Gold Min
ing company against II. b. Slater X.
B. Sheldon, p T. Evans, w. l.. Pc
ters, Alexander Strachan, A. N. Young
love, Edgar Sharp, G. II. Lowe, II. X.
Green, C. II. Lewis and F. M. Sabathe
for damages of 100000 on charges of
fraud.
The plaintiff alleges that previous to
oct. 10. 1905, 1t owned valuable mining
property in the Virginia Dale mining
district, in San Bernardino county. The
property consisted Cf several groups or
mines, including the Supply group of
five claims, the Jean group of three
claims, the Gold Range, the Riddle and
the Review groups, the first two sec
tons being by far the most valuable.
In addition to their natural value, II
is alleged considerable money had
been expended in their development
and equipment
COMPLICATION IN OWNERSHIP
On Jan. >, 1906, it is asserted that
II. A. Landwehr became the owner OF
100000 of the 100000 shares of the
capital stock of the company, thus ac-
uuiring the controlling interest, which
resulted in his being made manager.
In that capacity, II Is alleSeu, ne re-
duced the Indebtedness of the company
to $4,000, that obligation being to the
First National bank of Riverside
Shortly after Landwehr became
manager, it is averred, Evans one of
the defendants, conceived the idea or
buying the obligation of the concern
from the financial institution of River
side and interested other defendants
in the project, with the result that 1t
was accomplished, more than $15,0OOO
being raised for the purpose and the
purchase being made in the name OF
Green.
Then, it is charged, although Land
wehr was on the way to placing the
company upon a prosperous footing,
the purchasers of the obligation at
tached the property and caused 1t to
be closed down.
BULLION AS EXHIBIT
Then the alleged gold brick made its
appearance.
1t was a great chunk of gold bullion,
said to have been worth $1,000 and to
have been sold, because of the manipu-
lations of the purchasers of the COM
panys obligations, for 800, or one
tenth of it's value.
Following that, it is charged, Land
wehr was prevented from attending
the annual meeting, because of mis-
representations, and various other an
moving incidents are said to have oc-
Cured
Because of all of those things the
allegation of fraud is made in the
suit which was filed yesterday in the
superior court, and the defendants are
sued for $100,0 900 damages

TO CHANGE OLD CAFE INTO
MOVING PICTURE THEATER

The Spring street side of the old
Imperial cafe. which adjoins the city
hall and extends from Broadway to
Spring, may be made into moving
picture theater, but it will require n
Slight amendment of the building or
dinance to make this possible.
Application has been made to the
council by the persons who intend TO
change the old restaurant into thea
ter to amend the ordinance SO thal
moving picture shows may nave an
exit on a private or public way. The
ordinance now requires them to have
an exit on a public" alley, but the
alley in the rear OF the Imperial, that
extends to Third street, is privately
owned This alley is IS feet Wi1c and
the petitioners declare it would be safer
than a public alley, as there are no
teams and vehicles in it.

If the park commission is to fulfill
a pledge made to c. T. Herbert when

partment to become secretary of the

missioners will have to dig down into
their own pockets and produce a purse

the position. The commissioners

OBJECT TO BUILDING OF

CLAIMS MUNICIPAL FERRY
WILL NEED THREE BOATS

Three ferry boats will be needed for
the municipal ferry at San Pedro and
Wilmington, according to w. S. Glib
bons, long time engineer in the en-
ploy of the private ferry He expresses
these views in a letter to the mayor.
He says one boat should have a seat
ing capacity of at least 100 and be
able to carry freight. This for the bust
ness between San Pedro and East San
Pedro. The boat for Wilmington, he
says, need not exceed thirty passen-
gers capacity. The third boat he
would have for use when one of the
others is out of commission. He esti-
mates it would cost about 1915 month
to run the municipal ferry, and this
is much more than the finance com
mittee has figured on.
