WORK STARTS SOON
ON PROPOSED ROAD
REDOND0 BEACH COMMITTEE
RECEIVES ASSURANCE
Completed for Ten-MiIe
Thoroughfare to Will
mington
Especial to he Herald.I

REDONDO BEACH, Feb, 1O.-The
Redondo Beach good roads committee
has received the promise of the county
highway commission that work on the
construction of the road to Wilmington
will begin at once. The committee,
composed of L. j. Perry, 0. C. Hin
man, P. S. Venable and II. B. Aims
worth, conferred with the highway
commission at Los Angeles yesterday.
The proposed road is a part of the
county highway system under con-
struction. 1t will open a new outlet
for Redondo Beach to the east. The
road will run through the Venable
ranch, back of Clifton blythe Sea, for
a distance of approximately ten miles
to Wilmington. The highway commits
sion ordered the surveying to be done
at once and this will be rapidly fol-
lowed by grading and construction. 1t
is planned to allow the ranchers along
the route to do part of the work in
stead of importing teams and labor
ers. Bids for the work will be asked
for soon.
1t is also announced that the Ingle-
wood road to Los Angeles will be rap
idly brought into proper shape by the
highway commission. The stone for
the work will be obtained at San
Dimas. This is on the Santa Fe, MAX
ing it more convenient for the road
builders to get their stone here than
at other quarries whence most of the
supply comes.

MAN ON CHAIN GANG
TRIES FOR LIBERTY
JOE MANASSAS THIRD EFFORT
UNSUCCESSFUL
While Working on Rock Pile Prisoner
Manages to Free Himself from
Iron Ball to Which He
Was Tied
Especial to he Herald.l


SANTA ANA. Feb. 10.-Making a
break for liberty is getting to be a
habit with Joe Manassas. a member
of the rockpile gang. Yesterday, for
the third time within two months, he
made run from the rockpile, only to
be recaptured. The first time he got
as far as a pile of rubbish behind the
city hall. On the second break he
succeeded in getting out of town, but
foolishly Travelled this way again and
was taken back to his old quarters. AS
a result of his two attempts Manas-
sas has been working lately with the
handicap of a ball and chain.
But even that disagreeable and un-
ornamental appendage did not quench
his ardent desire for liberty, or in
crease his love for the rockpile. So,
determined to put his fortune to the
test once more, he yesterday quietly
pounded away at his chain whenever
ne could do so unobserved, succeeding
in breaking a link. Watching his
chance, he climbed the nearby fence,
tearing his hand badly on a barbed
wire, but leaving behind him the ball
and part of the chain with which he
had been bound. He made a des-
perate run, but handicapped by the
dragging remnant of chain, finally took
refuge under a house about five blocks
from his starting place. then crept
into barn where he was captured.
He was placed in solitary confinement.

CLEVER THIEF USES
TWIN TO PROVE ALIBI
Police of Paris Finally Catch Robber,
and Mystery of His Defense
Is Revealed

PARIS Feb. 1O.-A who had been a
shoplifter here for years had been constantly
arrested but always proved an alibi. The po-
lice were baffled and shopkeepers continued to
be robbed. A grocer who was long suffering
victim put up a burglar alarm with a detonat-
or in his shop. A violent explosion occurred
the other night The grocer came with the
police and caught woman and two men red
handed, laden with fowls, pigeons and rum.
The system of the thlefs aibi explained.
There were two shopifters, twin brothers, and
so exactly alike that could hardly be told
from the other when side by side. For years
they had played a comedy Of errors success
fully.
The two thieves had never operated in the
same place together. Their hunting in a couple
at the grocer's their undoing. The police
have now got them both in fagrante delictu,
and have seized the opportunity to examine
their persons closely. The result is that they
will henceforth be able to distinguish one
brother, William from the other Peter. by a
strawberry mark the formers chest. When
the twin thieves come out of jail and begin
operations again the police Will remember the
strawberry mark and the alibis.

BUILDING IN DANGER
WHEN LANDING BURNS
PASADENA FIRE CAUSES LOSS
OF $1,000
Japanese Workmen, Among Other Ef-
fects, Manage to Save Two
Cases of Bottled
Beer
Especial to The Herald


PASADENA, Feb. 10.-Several hun
dred dollars worth of clothing, with
buildings to the amount of about $1OOO
were destroyed by fire at the Meiji
laundry, GAG West Colorado street, this
afternoon. The fire started from
gas stove, over which the japanese
workers were cooking starch, and the
rear portion of the building was COM
pletelv enveloped when the Dayton
apparatus arrived. Two lines of hose
were quickly laid and the Villa de-
partment responded to q second call
with two more lines.
For time the Salt Lake station,
Hutchins' livery and the Standard Oil
company storehouse were endangered.
Hutchins' horses were soon removed to
a place of safety, while Japanese work
men, all excitement, saved a large
amount of laundry.
Linemen from the Edison company
cut the wires leading to the power
motor as matter of precaution, and
stood by ready to cut the supply wires
if necessary.
Owing to the excitement and their
slight knowledge of English, the zap
anese could not make known their
loss further than to wall much rmnney,
much money" Noticeable among the
effects saved were two cases of beer.

S. P. PLANS NURSERY
OF EUCALYPTUS
Many Acres 20 Be Devoted to Experl-
ment Which May Mean Ad-
vent of a New Industrial
Branch

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 10.-What
promises to have an important bearing
on the development of this county and
may prove one of it's leading industries
is the movement now on foot to put
the various kinds of eucalyptus trees to
a practical test. The work will be car
ried on by the Southern Pacific, the
company having made arrangements
viii the Santa Barbara nursery, ELL
wood Cooper and other growers, so that
different localities can be tested and
different varieties of the wood tried.
The wood will be used in building
cars and will be thoroughly tested as
TO its qualities of strength, durability
and so on The experiments will be
carried on for three years, and at the
expiration of that time. if it proves
satisfactory, the company will proceed
to develop an industry that may mean
the establishment of extensive car
shops here. Large areas will be planted
with forests and many of the immense
ranches in the county may be cut up
and planted with this valuable product.
This climate is especially adapted to
its growth, as it thrives in any temper
ature having a mean annual tempera-
ture of not less than 27 degrees. The
eucalypts grow rapidly and many spe-
cies attain great height, E. amygdelina
as much as 4S0 feet or $50 feet more
than the highest specimen of the Sc
quota, with a circumference of 81 feet
It's property of destroying the miasma
of marshy districts is probably attrib-
utable to the drainage effected by its
roots, rather than to the antiseptic
exhalations of its leaves. To the same
cause is ascribed the gradual disap-
pearance of mosquitoes in the neigh
borhood of plantations of this tree.
The development of this industry by
the Southern Pacific is probably part of
a gigantic scheme of tree planting and
Identification of their lines which will
be undertaken by j. w. Rogers, for
merly park superintendent of Cincin-
natl, who has been engaged to take
charge of the work.
