VIEWING THE PASSING FLEET Newport Beach, Huntington and Bay City Vantage Points for Greater Crowds Than ever before Assembled In County All Orange county went to the shore on Saturday, and during the present week a continual exodus to the beaches has been in progress. The Atlantic fleet of battleships was the attraction. The fleet first appeared south-southwest off Newport Beach at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It is estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000 people gathered at the beach to see the ships. The steam car service was totally inadequate to handle the crowds, and not one person in four found seats in the cars. The 9.52 train southbound, for instance, rolled in with three coaches, whereas it should have had fifteen. The task of returning from the beach was an ordeal never to be forgotten. At 12:30 the fisherman at the wharf, raking in the shekels from the country folk who invested in a seineful of surf fish just hauled up on the beach, said the fleet was late an hour and a half. He had just looked fifteen miles down the coast and had seen nothing of the ships. criticism was the result. A crunch of 1000 people fought to get about a string of half a dozen coaches. And children were forced to stray the aisles and on the platform fat young fellows pre-empted them. An engine came up and side-the coaches on a Y. The cars relied on the sidetrack an hour. Had been for the seabreeze which owed a balm to those crowded with coaches ladies would have fainting. Ladies had to be sued by their male companions. Or suffered a broken arm in the Thjs train was jammed with before the ships were out of sight lay on the sidetrack an hour, pulled out for Santa Ana. A crowd of 5000 tried to get the next train out. Men swooped mothers were separated from children. Several tots were put and taken to Santa Ana. Their ers came upon later trains, fathers probably had seats in ward cars. Cars ran in from the beach all night. It is estimated that people saw the ships from the San Pedro, Long Beach, Redondo other points. Welcome Showers Showers fell yesterday morning. should have had fifteen. The task of returning from the beach was an ordeal never to be forgotten. At 12:30 the fisherman at the wharf, raking in the shekels from the country folk who invested in a seineful of surf fish just hauled up on the beach, said the fleet was late an hour and a half. He had just looked fifteen miles down the coast and had seen nothing of the ships. Not a quarter of an hour later a shot rang out from the end of the wharf, which signaled the fleet was in sight. Through a glass a thin smudge of smoke lay upon the southern horizon. The crowd overran the wharf, creeping under ropes stretched to keep them back. Danger signals were of no avail. The teetering wharf was black with people. The fleet was coming up the coast slowly, in squadron formation. Eighteen ships could be counted. The tender Yankton and supply-ship Culgoa were accompanying the fleet. As the vessels hove into closer view, revealing them in all their beauty and their power, exclamations of wonderment and admiration filled the thousands who were thus getting their first view of the fleet which has occupied so much of the world’s eye since its departure from Hampton Roads in December. The Connecticut, flagship of Rear Admiral Thomas was closest inshore. The vessels’ movements seemed imperceptible, but they gradually grew until men aboard could be distinguished. A signal from the flagship, and the vessels of the first division fell behind. The ships were going into single column, the flagship leading. In this manner they passed the Orange county coast line, stretched out a length of three miles, and four miles offshore. As the Connecticut passed abreast the wharf a bomb exploded in honor of the flagship. The voice of the deep-throated siren of the battleship came to the ears of the multitude from across the expanse of waters. There was no cheering, no demonstration, but the throng stood in silent, reverent admiration of the ships as they passed. Each in turn sounded its hoarse steam whistle, in recognition of the salute of the thousands of people who lined the shore for miles. The vessels passed in single column Cars ran in from the beach all night. It is estimated that people saw the ships from the San Angeles coast lines. On Sunday, Monday and Tens of thousands visited the San Pedro, Long Beach, Redondo other points. Welcome Showers Showers fell yesterday morning the extent of .25 of an inch.

Each in turn sounded its hoarse steam whistle, in recognition of the salute of the thousands of people who lined the shore for miles. The vessels passed in single column formation, and at 2:30 the rear vessel was disappearing into the distance toward the north. The day was bright and clear, and the vessels were plainly seen. At Huntington Beach and Bay City thousands gathered to see the ships. Steamers from San Pedro bearing the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, Mayor Harper, Gen. Chaffee and others of the welcoming committee, met the fleet off the Orange county shore. Cheers were exchanged and unbounded enthusiasm seemed to prevail aboard the ships. "Who are you?" wig-wagged the nagship. "We are the Los Angeles chamber of commerce and welcoming committee, with Frank Wiggins," was the reply. "Who's Wiggins?" came the wig-wag. "Wiggins is the whole thing in Los Angeles." The steamers put about and accompanied the fleet to San Pedro. The return trip from Newport Beach and other points on the coast may better be imagined than described. The service was altogether inadequate to transport the great crowds, and much Fraud in School Petition Charges of gross frauds were to the board of supervisors of Los Angeles county on Monday, in petitions presented to that week's ago, as a result of which school districts of Artesia, La and Little Lake were allowed to withdraw. This petitionjected for insufficiency. It is charged the 142 names on the petitions pre-weeks ago only seventy were legal to be there. The others were not families, it is asserted. The whole row is caused by the between Norwalk and Artesia. Art southwest corner of the district, school, and because Norwalk, in this district, has it, this move to brist district was made.

Fuhrberg was arrested on Friday by Constable Litten, on a warrant sworn to by Marshal Steadman, charging him with the offense noted. Clyde Bishop appeared for Fuhrberg and City Attorney Melrose represented the city. Fuhrberg at first asked for a jury trial and deposited $50 cash bail for his appearance. He later changed his plea to guilty and paid $50 fine. Fuhrberg states that he does not permit gambling at his saloon, and that on the 31st of March, when the offense is alleged to have been committed, he was in his place of business only a short time. He claims that if gambling was indulged in, it was done without his knowledge. The prosecution claims it had a clear case in support of their charge that gambling was in progress in the saloon on the date in question, and were ready to produce witnesses in court.

It is said that one of its provisions will be that any saloon keeper convicted of infraction of any of its regulations will be made to forfeit his license, and that the same will not be reissued to any other person. In other words, a saloon keeper convicted of violating the ordinance will not only lose his license, but the places where one may wet his whistle will be reduced by one.
