MOTORCYCLE HONK MAKES
MULE BREAK SPEED LAW
Animal Driven by Soft-Eyed Son
of Spain Wrecks Buggy
in Its Flight

SANTA ANA, Aug. 26.-The ear
splitting honk of a motorcycle scared
an inoffensive mule this afternoon as 1t
was being quietly driven along the
pretty streets of sylvan Tustin by
dark-eyed Spanish youth. Inevitably
the mule ran away, and in the course
of his running he ran into buggy
as he turned a corner. The horse at
tached to the buggy realized that 1t
was up to him to continue the excite
ment, as the mule had done all the
harm he could by knocking the buggy
over and throwing the occupants, N.
S. Long and daughter of Tustin, to
the ground. The horse sprinted pull
ing the buggy and Mr. Long after him
in his headlong career. Nothing but
a telephone pole, providentially placed,
halted the procession. When the col
lision with the pole took place Mr..
Ling was flung loose from the lines,
to which he had been holding with
grim clutch, and the buggy was
wrecked. The horse realized he had
done his duty in the runaway, and
stopped after a block or two more of
the race against nothing Mr.. Long
escaped with a few unpleasant bruises
and his daughter was unhurt Neither
the mule nor the soft-eyed son Of
Spain who was driving him have
shown up since the catastrophe that
began and ended like a comic opera.

GYPSY SAYS AMERICAN
ELOPED WITH DAUGHTER
Venice Fortune Teller Declares
$400 of FamiIy's Cash
Taken by Girl

VENICE, Aug. 26.-Frank Adams. "a
bewhiskered Gypsy, residing at Freder-
icks. has asked the police to find his
daughter, Mary, who he said ran away
last night, taking the greater part of
his savings. He gave the opinion that
his daughter eloped with a young man
who has been loafing around the Ad-
ans family's fortune telling booth on
the ocean front for some time.
Mary is described as a decidedly
strong type of Gypsy, with heavy black
hair and beady eyes. Adams said she
is fourteen ears old, but the police
say she appears twenty. Mary has as
sisted her father and mother in the
conduct of the fortune telling business
and the family has prospered. The
money received was boarded away by
Adams, who served as manager for his
wife and daughter, until he said he had
$42S in cash. Almost in tears Adams
appeared at the beach police stations
today and related his story of his
daughters disappearance. He said she
left him the $2S, but took with her
the $400.
Adams said he was positive that the
young man, handsome American, car
ried the girl off against her will. He
wanted the police to issue a warrant
for the arrest of the man, but he didn't
know his name. At the time she left
here Mary wore d red waist, skirt OF
red and yellow stripes, numerous pieces
of cheap jewelry and her straight black
hair hung in braids down her back.

COMPANY WILL STAND
LOSS OF DEFALCAT|ON
Aetna Officials Assure Santa
Monica of $4,000 Taken
by Treasurer Bane

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 26.-City
Attorney Harris w. Taft today re-
ceived a telegram from the New York
office of the Aetna Indemnity company,
informing him that the loss of $4,000
sustained by the city of Santa Monica
because of the defalcation of Ralph
Bane, city treasurer and tax collector,
will be paid at once. This company
went on Bane's bond for $4,000. Be-
cause of delay on the part of the bond
ing company to pay the amount the
city council recently instructed the city
attorney to proceed to collect the
amount due and the telegram came in
response to a notification that suit
would be commenced unless the money
was forthcoming. The city attorney
was informed that because of com
pllcations in regard to the bond, read
justment was required, but that final
action Is to be taken at once.
The board of equalization was un-
able to make a report at the last meet
ing of the council fixing the tax rate
for the coming year because of the
uncertainty about the payment of the
Bane loss, but this notice from the
bonding company will permit the board
to act quickly in the matter.

PLANS ARE COMPLETED
FOR HORSESHOE PIER
Specifications Provide for Con-
crete Structure to Cost
100000

LONG BEACH, Aug. 26.-The first
cations for a horseshoe pier have been
completed by Architect H. w. Net
calf and L. A. Waterbury, who is in
charge of the engineering department
of the University of Arizona. They
are in such state of completion that
If the city council should favor the
project no work on plans or estimates
would be required.
The plans provide for double
decked structure entirely built of re-
inforced concrete, to cost 100000 and
to yield the city $4,000 annually in
revenue. This would be enough to
pay the interest and provide a sink
ing fund, maintenance fund and a
fund for general amusement purposes.
AS proposed, the pier would extend
out 1000 feet from American avenue,
then to a point 200 feet south of the
outer end of the present pier, and
thence to Pine avenue, either the old
pier or q new one being used for that
section of the structure. There would
be a lower deck or quay 80 feet wide,
on which a continuous row of rent
able booths and storerooms would
open Above the rentable space
would be the upper deck, 80 feet wide,
providing drives and walks. At in
terVals around the pier would be sun
pi-lors, built on mezzanine floors and
facing both on the inside and outside
of the enclosure.
There would be a solid wall of gra-
mite rubble built as high as the lower
deck of the pier. Save for a space
provided for a double-leafed bascufe
bridge, near the southeast corner, to
allow the entrance of boats, this stone
wall would be built entirely around
tie pier.
Thirty-flve acres of still water
would thus be afforded, giving un-
usual advantages in the way of still
water bathing and boating. Inside
the enclosure and along the east side
of the pier there are planned nine
landing piers, four 100 feet long, four
165 and two 200 feet, all solid concrete.
Facing each landing pier would be a
boat agents office. The landing piers
would provide excellent dockage for
motorboats, yachts and other craft,
and the engineers say that steam
ships as large as the President could
enter the enclosure and dock The big
project meets with favor among many
business men, who regard such pier
not merely as a public improvement
but as an investment which would net
big returns. 1t probably will be sub
mitted to the city council in a few
weeks.

per, a sojourner at the beach, reported
to the police today a most daring case
of robbery, in which the haul consisted
Of Peppers trousers, together with Sc
in cash and a rare Chinese penny of

stolen by a strange boy while Pepper
was taking a bath at his cottage on
Ozone avenue.
According to the story told the po-
lice over the telephone, Pepper pre-
pared for a quiet bath in the house
tub, and among other things removed
his trousers and hung them on a nail
near the window. While he was occu
pied in the water the boy reached

ers and ran rapidly down an alley.
Pepper said he was helpless to pursue
the young thief and was unable to
report the occurrence to the police
until some time later. The police said
tonight that no trace of boy, trousers
or Chinese penny had been found.

DENY CONFERENCE ON
MUNICIPAL SHORE LINE

LONG BEACH, Aug. 26.-Oflcers of
both the Seaside Water company and
the Strand company, owners of Valu-
able ocean frontage between the pier
and Chestnut avenue, today denied
that they had held, sought or author
lied any conference regarding peacn
titles or the location of a municipal
shore line through their properties,
and denied also that they had con-
templated capitulating with the city
authorities regarding the matter.
mo representative of the Strand
company has been invited to or at
tended any conference regarding the
boundaries of its property or its titles
to it," said an official of the Strand
Charles r. Drake of the Seaside Water
company, reiterated his former, posi-
tive declaration that the city could
not run a street through his company's
property without condemnation pro-
ceedings, which would be extremely
costly. He maintains that his COM
pany owns the property absolutely as
far south as the waters of the ocean.
and that the Strand officials would
be unwise to agree to any compromise
as their rights are same as those of
his company. The Seaside Water
company, owners of the land occupied
nv the bathhouse and it's store build
ings along the Pike, sold the Strand
company the present holdings of that
company a few years since. The
Strand company officials assert that no
overturl on the subject in hand have
been made or received.
Accordingly, the report that the con-
ference in Los Angeles between Mayor
Windham, P. E. Hatch and Los An
geles attorneys, together with a title
company official. seems not to have
brought about any probabilities of a
settlement" 1t is said that at the
conference Mayor Windham was in
formed of the danger of involving the
waterfront lands in a title dispute and
of the fact that owing to the argu
ments on the question had led the
title company to refuse further loans
on beach property.
