CLAIMS S. P. is DAMAGING
HARB0R FRONTAGE RIGHTS
Court Takes Suits Against Rail-
roads Under Amusement

Judge Houser has taken under ad-
Visement the two suits for 100000 dam
ages each and injunctions filed by A. S.
Koyer against the outer Harbor Dock
& Wharf company, the Southern Pa
cifc company, the Pacific Electric
company, II. r. Huntington and Ran
dolph II. Miner, who, he alleges, are
destroying his harbor frontage rights
at San Pedro
Koyer asserts that the defendants
have dumped dirt and rocks and driven
piles and otherwise prepared to build
a jetty between his lot and a half and
the harbor and he declares they there
by are damaging him to the extent
of $2200,000. His rights to harbor
frontage are his according to an old
survey, the defendants allege, while
they claim to be acting according to a
new survey by the government which
fixes the harbor frontage quite a dis
tance from the old ones. 1t is there
they claim, that they have been con-
Quoting operations.
Few similar suits ever have been
tried in the United States, it is said,
but many property owners at the har-
Dor, similarly situated, are greatly in
terested in the decision which will be
rendered by Judge Houser.

Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics

of the people themselves, to govern
themselves, regardless Of any special
or particular persons or interests. In
an organization like this, not depend
ing on corporate treasures nor the
duping of electors through corrupting
them mentally or otherwise, no set of
men to control you, you all may take
part. When the people are awakened
as they are, no boss can control them.
No set of men seriously misuse their
power.
"a machine, gentlemen, is good or
bad, according to the thing for which
it stands, and / thank God that the
citizenry of this country and the people
of this state are organizing themselves
into a machine to free their govern
ment from tn ebaneful control of spe-
cial interests, organized to keep the
means of transportating the product Of
their work, of furnishing urban ana
interurban transportation, light, gas,
so many of the common necessaries or
life-eVerything, indeed, from which a
large and unearned profit may be
reaped through quasi-taxation, from
the legitimate regulation and control
possible when the officers of the people
really represent them.
"This is the only movement in Cali
fOrnia for a score of years that mas
promised any results. 1t is for you
to say whether you will put aside per
sonal consideration and matters or
temporary expediency and, with the
tremendous power and enthusiasm
which ultimately resides only in the
people themselves, forward this salu-
tary cause. Once the machinery OF
your government is freed from the
perverse control that comes from the
present Southern Pacific machine
patronage, once you have thrown off
the iniquities that have possessed you
politically, 1 have no fear but that you
will keep your government clean and
compel it's machinery to serve you
honestly. This means more than pelf
or pride of power. 1t means the self
respect Of the American people. 1t
means equal opportunity of your sons
to labor and achieve regardless OF
special favor. It means the return to
that popular government, the dream of
which gave birth to this nation"

CITY RECEIVERS PART OF
STREET DECIDED RAILROAD

By the simple process of passing an
ordinance, the city council yesterday
recovered that portion of Fifth street
from Central avenue to the entrance
of the Arcade station that the river
bed franchise council gave away TO
the Southern Pacific.
The Southern Pacific may feel that
it does not care to abide by the ordl-
nance and take the matter into the
courts, and if it does the process will
not be so simple, but City Attorney
Hewitt believes that the city has every
right to that part of the street
The ordinance shows that the part or
Fifth street in question has been used
by the public for the last three years
without hindrance from the Southern
Pacific, or with any effort on the part
of the Southern Pacific to possess the
street, and that by right of public use
alone it has become a portion of the
public streets of Los Angeles.
This part of East Fifth street has
long been a bone of contention be-
tween the city and the Southern Pa
cific When the former council vacated
the street for the railroad it did so
on the promise of the road to use the
street as a part of the grounds for
magnificent new station it proposed to
build. Nothing has ever been done
about the station. The council in
structed the city attorney to take
steps to recover the vacated street.

DECLARES COMMISSION
VIOLATES STATE LAW
San Pedro Chamber of Commerce
Passes Resolution on High
way Conditions

Claiming that members of the high
way commission had secured their posi-
tions on promising three members of
the board of supervisors to act in har-
mony with them on county affairs,
thereby violating the law, the San Pc
dro chamber of commerce, at a meeting
last night, appointed a committee con-
sisting of James Dodson, Charles Ma
son and e. L. Blanchard to bring the
attention Of the so-called violation to
the proper authorities by presenting
them with the following resolution
which was passed by the chamber on
being introduced by j. E. Wickham:
Whereas, The advisory committee
was created by the board of super
visors for the purpose of protecting
the interests of the taxpayers in the
expenditure Of the good roads funds
derived from the bond issues, pro-
. vided by a patriotic people; and
Whereas, The public are informed
that the said advisory committee
has filed a report with the investi-
eating committee, of which Joseph
Scott is chairman, and has request
; ed therein that said report be made
public; Mr.. Scott'S committee haV-
ing been appointed by the board of
supervisors for the purpose of in
vestigating certain charges made by
the advisory committee; ana
Whereas, This said report is in
answer to the report of the high
way commission to the investigat-
ing committee, in which it acknowl-
edges that it, the highway commits
sion, accepted appointment under
a pledge to act in harmony with
certain three members now controll-
ing the board of supervisors; and
Whereas, Such a combination be-
tween the highway commission and
the board of supervisors is a direct
violation of the spirit of the law Gre
ating such commission; therefore
be 1t
Resolved, that public safety de-
mands that both the report of the
highway commission and of the ad-
visory committee be made public,
at once, in order that the people
NAV be informed as to the true rela-
tions between the highway commits
sion and the board OF supervisors,
and be enabled to take such steps
as will eliminate politics from the
good roads project; be it further
Resolved, That a committee or
three be appointed Immediately TO
present this resolution to the inVes-
tigating committee, advisory COM
mittee and the highway commits
sion.

.BRIST0W, IN ST|NGING
WORDS, FLAYS CANNON
Kansas Senator DenounCeS Re-
pubIiCans Who Favored
Payne-AIdrich Bill

APPLETON, Wis, Aug. 9.-Flaying
Aldrich and Cannon and denouncing
those Republicans who favored the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill, and advocat- t
ing the creation of a tariff commission
with sweeping powers so that schedules
on specific articles may be changed as
soon as proof exists that they are
wrong, Senator Joseph L. Bristow Of
Kansas delivered here tonight the sec
ond speech of his whirlwind cam
paign ia Wisconsin in the interest OF
Senator LaFollette and in the cause OF
insurgency.
A large portion of the senator's ad-
dress was devoted to the tariff, and
in this connection he referred to the
rubber and lead schedules in particular
Under the leadership of Aldrich and
Cannon" he said, "instead of revising
the tariff as was promised, duties were
changed, not with a view to protecting
legitimate American industries or Sc
curing revenue for the government, but
for the purpose of promoting the fin
ancial interests of certain individuals
or concerns.
For instance, the duty on manufac-
tured rubber was increased from 81
to 35 per cent, while crude rubber was
left on the free list. The advance was
made in the senate, by the senate COM
mittee on finance, of which Senator
Aldrich is chairman. The new tariff
bill became a law August 5, 1909. In
September it was discovered the organ
ization of a rubber trust was being
consummated with a son of Aldrich as
the executive head.
Rubber goods Immediately increased
about 25 per cent in price to the con-
sumer, and in three months and four
days from the completion of the organ
ization of the company dividends ag-
gregating 1872 per cent were declared
on preferred stock, a large portion OF
which is held by Aldrich himself"
The speaker declared the stability OF
the government will be tested at the
coming primaries, the most important
in the history of the nation"

SHOCKING NEWS
Mrs. Steuart Killed By Street Car In
Mt. Clements. Mich.

Mrs. John 3. White. wife of Profes-
sor White, of st. Johns College, re-
ceived a telegram Saturday night,
announcing the shocking news of her
mothers tragic death.
Mrs. Steuart, Mrs. Whites moth
er, was run over and killed by an
electric car at her home in Mt.
Clemens, Mich, on Saturday. Com
ing at this time the awful accident
is doubly sad, especially as the dear
old lady was preparing to come
here after Christmas and spend the
winter with her daughter on Col
lege Green.
Mrs. Steuart had many friends in
Annapolis, where she had frequently
visited her daughter for months at
the time. She was an aristocratic
old lady, of the old school, with Dig
nified bearing and pleasant manner.
She was highly cultured, and a good
entertainer.
Her shocking death was announced
yesterday morning at the Presbyter-
ian Church by the pastor, Rev.
George S. Bell, d. D., and prayers
of the congregation were asked for
the bereaved daughter, who is. an
earnest member and faithful worker
IN this church.

ANOTHER NAVY VICTORY
Sailor Lads Have No Difficulty In Taking
The LoyOla Basketball QUint Into
Camp

Another win was cha!ked up by the
Navy basketball quint on Saturday
afternoon, when the five from
Loyola College, Baltimore, was
handily defeated. The visitors were
completely showed under with a
score of 40 to II.
Loyola was hopelessly outclassed
from the very start and never had
a chance at the game. They, how
ever, put up a stiff contest against
a heavier and altogether more classy
aggregation. The Navy had all the
best of it. particularly in passing
TO the basket, and scored their first
goal within a minute after the
struggle opened. During the initial
period the sailors rolled up % points
to their opponents 5.
In the second session Navy played
with an entirely new team, with the
exception of McReavy, who did not
retire until after the first eight min
utes, and the work of the substitutes
was equally good as that of the var
sity players. In fact, they went
three points better. and at the same
time held their opponents to compara-
lively the same figures as in the first
period.

GERS and Midshipmen, the Hon. J.
F. Rutherford, the we'll known law
yer and Bible student of New
York, addressed the Y. M. c. A. of
the Naval Academy auditorium yes
terday afternoon.
His subject was The Kingdom of
Peace" In this lecture he stated
that civilized nations are striving
for peace, prosperity and happiness.
but that the "desire of all nations"
for such blessings will be fully rea-
lized only under the righteous reign
of Messiah, the King of Peace. He
cited many Scriptures to prove his
points, among them were these:
God hath appointed a day in which
he will Judge the world in righteous
ness through Christ the Messiah,
Acts, 1891; "When the judgments
of the Lord are on the earth the in
habitants of the world will learn
Righteousness" Isaiah, SO; Many
people and strong nations shall seek
the Lord" Zech. s, 20:22; "All ma
tions shall flow unto (become subjects
of Messiah S kingdom) and he shall
judge among the nations and they
shall beat their swords into pows
shares and their spears into pruning
hooks and nations shall not lift sword
against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more" Isaiah, 2, "a
The lecture was well received and
many favorable comments were
made. The entire audience applaud
ed the speaker vigorously at the
conclusion. From the Naval Acad
emy Mr.. Rutherford was conducted
to the Colonial Theatre, where a
large audience was waiting to hear
him again. General Hall, who was
then conducting a devotional service,
at once gave way to the lecturer,
who spoke for nearly two hours on
1.-The Two Phases of Gods Kingdom, "
which was received with profound at
tention.
