But you haven't heard the worst Of
It. He stumbled up to the front door

wife's window and called SO loudly
that all the neighbors could hear"

PROPERTY OWNERS TO
REBUILD BEACH CITY

SANTA MONICA, Sept. 5.-The in
domitable spirit of the bay district is
unshaken by the conflagration which
despoiled the great Fraser pier and
most of the Ocean Park business dis
trict.
With a total known loss of $3,O00,-
600, of which insurance covered a
scant % per cent, owners with one ac-
cord are laying plans for rebuilding.
Although only a few hours have
elapsed since the fire fighters registered
their victory over the raging element,
pier, hotel, apartment , andanome own, ,,1,,
or financing their new projects al
ready.
The new and modern Ocean Park
pleasure resort already is growing on
paper, while crews are at work clear
ing ground Of ruins to make way for
beautiful and permanent structures.
All the men in the Casino, where
the fire started in a grease pan, when
the fire broke out have been accounted
for H. S. Locke, cashier, and a Jap
anese who was employed in the kitcn-
en- were drowned
A watch has been set at the tide
line for bodies of possible victims. The
authorities, however, are hopeful that
all who leaped into the sea escaped
Locke was 30 years old and without
family.
Out of the conflagration already is
growing possibilities of the greater
bay city.
Consolidation of Venice and Santa
Monica, following the wiping out of
long standing factional feeling by the
disaster, is a growing topic. An i'm
mense water and fire system for the
whole bay region to be operated by the
combined Municipality is a probabil-
ity.
One of the first official acts taken
will be the passage of a fire limit Ordi-
nance. 1t is declared. This means the
end of fire feeding materials in the
business district, and construction of
solid cement and steel
Officials of both cities declare there
shall not arise in the newly construct
ed section the possibility of another
cOnflagration of the same character.
The hastily formed plans are show
ing not only sOlidity of character, but
much attention is being paid to art
features, so that beauty, as well as
safety. will characterize the new
Ocean Park resort.

PERPETUAL CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Senator
Bourne of Oregon predicts that the
day is almost here when congress
will have to meet all the year around.
1T looks to me-" said Senator
Bourne, that the pressure of public
business and the needs of the country
will require that the national legisla-
ture sit almost continuously in Wash
ington. This year congress has been
in session about nine months and |
look for the same conditions to pre-
vail next year and all succeeding
years. The people demand that We
give their interest earnest considera-
ton.
when we have worked out the prob
lens Of campaigning and popular nom
nations it will not be necessary for
congressman to leave their desks in
Washington to present reasons to their
constituents why they should be re-
turned to Office"
Mr.. Bourne remained in WaShlng-
ton during the recent campaign, prac-
ticing what he is preaching, and was
defeated for the nomination. His con
stituents. he thinks, will finally appre-
ciate the fact that he remained here
to look after their interests while his
opponent was tearing down his polit-
iCal fences.

TRAW'S FAMILY "AVERAGE"

New York Times: Henceforth n
lawyer of standing in the community
will undertake to deliver this incur
able maniac from his place Of deten-
ton. The best Dr. Russell, former slI-
perintendent of Matteawan, retained
by Mrs Thaw, could say was that if
he. DR. Russell, were employed to look
after Thaw personally while at liberty,
he might not commit another MUIR
der Dr. William A. White, who was
paid his expenses and $3.50 a day by
Mrs Thaw, swore that although sis
ter of Thaw's father was epileptic
from childhood. her first cousin died
in an insane asylum, another first cou-
sin was insane. and a first cousin OF
Thaw's father once removed died Of
insanity: moreover, although a bro
ther of Thaw's mother was life
long imbecile, another brother was a
violent i.ltniac. and sister was sub
ject to fits of insanity, nevertheless
this averages up well with ordinary
family hiStory-very well.

NEW SEASON BRINGING
MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER

The rush homeward of the people
who have been on vacations has surely
come with a rush. Every train COM
ing to the valley is loaded down with
people, and the increase in population
OF the valley is probably as great as
200 or 800 day.
The streets of Ell Centre are SHOW
ing the effects of the rush, and bust
ness houses are experiencing the most
satisfactory upiIft of trade.
And With this comes the shortage
of houses which has been predicted,
though plans are numerous to house
the new people
The home coming at this season
means The immediate Inauguration Of
the new farm season, as well as the
business season, and hundreds Of plOws
will be at once set at work on ground
for the new barley crop, which Will
not only be sown early, but will prob
ably be one of the greatest in acreage
the valley has experienced.

lBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The bat
tleship Pennsylvania the one battle
ship authorized in the recent naval
appropriation bill, will not only be the
most heavily armored and armed bat
tleship but the tieetest vessel Of her
class in the world
According 70 plans already decided
upon BY the navy department. the
specifications for the new terror Of the
seas Will probably call Tor maximum
speed OF perhaps % knots per hour
secured by an increase in length and
draft over those dreadnaughts now
building. This increase will give addi-
tional room for machinery, greater en-
gine efficiency and thus greater speed
The new vessel will he $50 feet in
length, % feet longer than the Okla
hOma and Arizona. just now the larg-
est ships. in process of building.
Although ueed will be an essential
in the new battleship, the navy de-
parJment does not intend 10 sacrifice
armOr for speed. The Pennsylvania
will be protected by plates of steel Of
the same thickness as those on the
Oklahoma and Arizona, and in addi-
tion 16-inch plate will extend over
q large portion Of the huh and give
greater protection under the water
line
The Pennsylvania will have a beam
of ~ feet. PA inches. The navy dn-
aartment does not think it wise to
make this any bigger, in view Of the
TACT that the Panama canal locks viii
only accommodate vessels Of 10 feet
beam.
Some idea of the size Of the new
dreadnaught may be gained by the fact
that there are now only three drydocks
in existence which would accommodate
