HERM0SA BEACH HAS NO
CITY CLERK CANDIDATE
Herman Vetter Declines to Run Again,
Leaving Office Seeking a
Man

HERMOSA BEACH, Feb. 4.-Find-
ing after two years experience that the
government service pays better than
the municipal service, Herman Vetter,
city clerk of Hermosa Beach, has de-
clined to become a candidate for re-
election, Notwithstanding the persist
ent urging of his friends. This leaves
the field without candidates for the
city clerkship.
The serene state of affairs at Her
mosa Beach is also one of the reasons
given by Vetter for refusing to serve
longer. This hitherto extremely live
city has quieted down until there has
not been even a petition for disincor-
poration filed within the last sixty
days. as was a quite common custom
heretofore.
The salary of the city clerk is $50 a
month. Vetter recently took the civil
service examination and is now on the
eligible list for deputy customs collec-
tor in the revenue service and expects
to get position before long.
Several trustees and other city Off
cials are to be elected this spring, but
so far very few candidates have shown
up. The campaigns at Hermosa Beach
have usually been of the very hottest,
but from all indications this will be
the most tranquil campaign in the his
tory of the city. As heretofore the
dirt" side of the city will be opposed
to the "sand' side, and the fight will be
over which side shall WELD the balance
of power as represented by the board
of trustees.

DEATH IS RESULT
OF FIST FIGHT
PHILIP MOORE SUCCUMBS TO
INJURIES
WEALTHY PROPERTY OWNER is
HURT IN ALTERATION
Man Named Bennett Is Sought for by
the Police as Person Who
Inflicted the Fatal
Blows

Philip Moore, % years old, a wealthy
property owner, died at his home at
500 North Gless shortly after 10 o'clock
last night as a result of basal frac-
ture of the skull incurred in a fight
near First and San Pedro streets Mon
day afternoon. A man named Ben
nett who is alleged to have dealt the
blows that resulted in the death of
Moore, is being sought by the police.
Moore recently inherited property
valued at nearly 100000 from his
mother Mrs. Nora O'Laverty, who
lived at 346 Pecan street Moore was
married to Miss Florence Shannon q
year and two days ago. AT that time
he was working as common laborer.
A short time after his marriage his
mother died and left him her entire es-
tate. Since that time Moore has been
engaged in managing the property
A piece of the property inherited by
Moore surrounds a lot near ITO and 12O
North San Pedro street belonging to
Bennett. The location of Benefits
property made it necessary for him to
pass across the lots of Moore. The
men had several disputes about the
matter and the affair reached the eli
max Monday afternoon, when Bennett
DeRan TO take SOIIle DTlChS dCTOSS llIS
property of Moore to the shut-in lot,
where he intended to erect a small
building. Moore ordered the other off
the ground, but Bennett refused to
obey, and following a violent dispute,
Bennett, it is alleged. struck Moore in
the face and knocked him down on
pile of bricks. Moore arose and, it is
asserted, again was knocked down,
and this time, it is claimed, was kicked
on the head.
Moore arose. and after staggering
about for a few moments telephoned
his wife and told her he had fought
with Bennett and was in bad shape.
Mrs. Moore and her mother, Mrs. w.
C. Shannon, hurried to where Moore
was. They placed him aboard street
car and, so they say. saw Bennett get
on the same car. When Bennett saw
the condition of Moore he is said to
have laughed in Sneering manner
at the semi-conscious man.
On their arrival at the Moore home
the injured man began to grow worse
and lapsed into Inconsistencies. Drs.
Claire Murphy and e. o. Hay were
summoned. Shortly before the arrival
coming unconscious. told his wife that
there was a large bump on the back
of his head that was causing him con-
siderable pain. When the doctors ex-
amined Moore they found the contu-
sion on the back of his head and also
discovered bruises on his face. The
physicians were unable to bring Moore
out of his comatose condition and the

MYSTERY DEVELOPS IN
SERIOUS BURNING CASE
Fatal Injuries to Girl and Disfigurng
uAof Man for Life Unex-
planned to Police

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Mystery
as yet unexplained by the authorities
surrounds the manner in which Marie
ONeil of 1892 Vine street and James c.
Thomas of 1929 Arch street late last
evening received burns and bruises
which will likely prove fatal to the
girl and which may disfigure the man
for life.
Both of the injured persons were TAX
en- to the Hahnemann hospital shortly
before midnight in an automobile driv-
en- by man who gave his name as
William Butler who had as a compan-
ion Nellie Ahern. Both refused to give
their addresses. Another member of the
party was Helen Keiss, who hesitating-
ly gave her address as 205 Elm avenue,
Narberth
Miss Keiss said that early in the
evening she had visited Miss O'Neil,
with the intention of accompanying her
to a theater, but could give no connect
ed story of what had happened between
Z and Ii o'clock. According to the ply
sicians at the hospital, the appearance
of the machine gave evidence that it
had been run long distance, thus dis
proving the story of a theater party.
Miss Keiss is q graduate nurse, and did
all in her power for her friend TO re-
lieve her sufferings before she was fin
ally taken to the institution.
When the injured girl learned that
her condition was SO serious that it
might prove fatal she said that she had
been curling her hair at 263 North
Twelfth street, and that it had acci-,
dentally become ignited. Thomas
wounds, she said, were caused by his
coming to her rescue.
No. 263 North Twelfth street is a drug
store, and the clerk in the establish
ment admitted knowing the injured girl
but declared she had not visited the
place last evening.

BLAMES MACHINERY FOR
SOCIAL SYSTEM DEFECTS
Three Time Candidate for Presidency
Declares People Must Control
Their Product

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 4.-Himself
a human dynamo, Eugene V. Debs,
three times candidate for president Of
the United States and considered the
leading Socialist in the country, last
night at the Y. M. C. A. placed upon
modern machinery the greatest blame
for existing defects in the social sys-
tenn. Following are a few Debisms:
Humanity has always been organ
lied for the exploitation Of those who
toll.
Socialism is an industrial democ-
racy, an Interpretation of civilization,
an economic ideal. a social ownership.
mo people can be truly free unless
they control that which they create.
Modern machinery has caused an
industrial revolution. Man has been a
tool-using animal since he was made.
Under Socialism the user of the tool
owns the tool. Under capitalism the
owner of the tool doesn't know how
to use it,"

schooner Is Total Loss

Port Angeles dispatches detail the final
efforts of the life saving tug Snohomish to
tow the derelict Susie NJ. Plumer, the last
schooner that was bound for San Pedro
with a full cargo. The derelict was located
at the extreme end of Vancouver island
near Cape Scott. where her anchors had
caught In shoal water. These were out and
the schooner found a last resting place on
the shore of San Jose bay.
The steamer Tees a few days before was
unable to tow the derelict to port on ac-
count of a heavy weather. The Tees did
not find anything to indicate a solution /of
the mystery The stripped deck was
awash, masts boats. deckhouses all were
gone, and there was nothing to show what
had become OF the missing crew. Only the
broken hulk, ahoat because of the bouyancy
of the lumber cargo, was left. The general
belief is that Capt. Hansen and his ten men
were probably swept overheard or swamped
In the boats.
The British steamer Princess Ena re-
ported upon arrival at San Pedro few
days ago that she had sighted the derellct
and that he did not appear to be hopelessly
Waterlogged.
