LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.—Six hundred persons caught that for a time they were seaward of the break, a child waghed from its mother’s arms at Ocean Park, a big passenger steamer unable to make a landing at Port Los Angeles and col- liding with the famous long wharf, a crack racing yacht washing ashore at Terminal and left in such position that she will prove a total loss, and a por- tion of the under-pinning of the broad | board walk carried to sea, endangering several houses—such is one day’s record of excitement at the various beach re- sorts contiguous to Los Angeles. An amazingly high tide and a brisk westerly wind formed the combination which was responsible for these inci- dents, and gave the beach residents a scare such they have never had before. Only in the instance of the broken pier at Ocean Park was there any danger. There were hundreds of people at the outer end of the pier when one of the inner bents collapsed because of the pounding of the tremendous sea that was running. The broken bent did not fall all the way to the water, but stood as if about to fall, After the excitement the people reached the shore, crawling over the at a time. On the strand a woman was holding her babe, while she stooped to pick up a shell. A big wave caught her and washed the child from her arms, but it was quickly rescued by a bather, When the big steamer Santa Rosa tried to land at Port Los Angeles, such a heavy sea was running that Captain Alexander could not make fast. The bow of the vessel struck the wharf, and for a time it was feared she would again be washed against it, but the steamer backed off and landed at Re- dondo. At Terminal the yacht Los Banos of the South Coast Yacht Club dragged | her anckor, and finaily the cable parted and she drifted ashore, and to-night is pounding to pieces on the beach. At Brighton Beach, near Terminal, a long & n of the board walk was car- ried away, and the houses which abut the ,walk came near being left without foundations. Tn. places the under- pinning of fhe houses was washed out, causing the cottages to list. — b it Special Train to Martinez.

E. BECK Secretary Shaw Will Speak at Reno, Nevada, on His Return From Los Angeles B Y e i The position of local manager of the International Banking Company has been tendered to State Bank Commis- sioner William H. High of Oakland, and the story is current in banking and political circles that he will resign the State office to accept the management of the bank menticned. High was ap- pointed Bank Commissioner by Gov- ernor Pardee in June, 1903, for' a full term of four years, hence his successor will be entitled to serve until June, 1807 The duty of filling the vacancy will de- volve unon the Governor. There are several aonlicants already in the field, and among the most active is J. Cal Ewing of Oakland, the secretary of the commission. 1t is gossip in the political camps that leading representatives of the Republican party will parnestly re- quest the Governor to recognize some other county than Alameda in making the appointment. As the board now stands two of the Commissioners are from Los Angeles, and the other two, together with the secretarv, hail from | Oakland. San Francisco is without a representative. on the commission, al- though four-fifths of the banking busi- n’ess of the State is transacted In this city. The managers of the Republican cam- paign are so profoundly impressed with | Secretary Shaw’s ability as an advocate | of Republican principles and policies | that they have requested him to speak in Nevada on his way home.

LOUIS, I, Sept. .5.—By following directions, telephoned by an unidentified man from an unkncwn place, Coroner McCracken to-night found the bodies of a white man and a negro lying in the middle of a road’ feet apart.
