CHARGE STRIKER WITH
DAMAGING PROPERTY
Arraiqn MachiniSt Accused of
Destroying Sand MoIdS in
Reliance Works

PASADENA, Aug. 25.-Ward Taylor,
one of the striking machinists of Pasa-
dena who is charged with destroying
valuable sand molds and damaging
other property in the Reliance machine
works to the amount Of $3.50, was ar
raigned yesterday afternoon in JUS
tice McDonald's court and remanded to
Jail under $100 bail to appear for trial
Monday morning at 10 o'clock Bail
was furnished last evening by friends
of the accused. Taylor stated last
evening that he can furnish a number
of witnesses to prove an absolute allbl.
The offense with which Taylor Is
charged was committed Tuesday night,
supposedly between 11:30 and l O'Clock,
while the night watchman at the ma
chine works was out for lunch. Tay-
Ior was arrested at 2 o'clock yester-
day morning at his home and taken
to the scene Of the depredations, Where
his shoes were tested to tracks In the
sand It was upon the alleged snug
ness" of the fit and the statement or
employees of the machine works that
rTav1or had been seen around the prem
ises that he was formally charged with
the crime.
Secretary Leuzarder of the Reliance
machine works swore to the complaint,
and he stated yesterday afternoon that
there is no doubt of Taylors quit
1--WE had not been guarding our foun-
drv closely" he said, because we dld
not think the strikers in Pasadena
were the kind who would damage prop
erty. We have no quarrel with the
men as individuals and are sorry, to
see the matter take such turn, but
we will be compelled to prosecute Tay-
lor as an example"
Local leaders of. the machinists' and
mo1ders' union WHO went out Of the
Reliance machine works June on
strike to the number of nineteen, deny
any knowledge of the affair. We
will win our demands for an eight hour
day at 81 without resorting to Y1o-
lence," they say, "by peaceful picket
ing and moral suasion, because our
cause is just" They al express con
fidence in Taylor's ability to prove an
alibi.

WARN BATHERS AGAINST
HEAVY TIDAL CURRENTS
Street Superintendent Posts Not
ice at Dangerous Point
on the Beach

OCEAN PARK, Aug. 24.-The city
board of trustees has instructed Street
Superintendent George Beemer to post
a warning to bathers at the foot of
Center street to avoid going too far
from shore because of the strong tidal
currents running at that point.
1t was in that locality where John
H. Ridgeway lost his life last week
while attempting to rescue a drowning
bather. The strong current carried
him into deep water before he could
be reached by friends
This is the most dangerous point on
the beach. The remainder of the beach
frequented by bathers is we'll protected
with life saving apparatus and be-
cause of the location of the pier the
currents are almost imperceptible. The
action of the trustees was taken at the
request of citizens of Short Line beach.
Life saving signals will be installed
by the city.
