SANTA MONICA, July 22.-Ocean Park
more than full recognition from the summer
visitor this year. for there are fully as
many If not more transient residents in that
part of town than on the north side. OF
the 300 cottages now on the south beach
| there is not one vacant, and jolier and
more contented lot of people cannot be
| found on the southern coast. The south
beach is an ideal outing spot, and the ma
jority of the summer homes are convenient
and comfortable, while the plank walks
over the clean white sand make the life of
the pedestrian happy. The long, bright
days are spent in surf bathing fishing,
clam digging and lolling in the sand under
umbrella or beach chair
The management of the Y. M. c. A. bath
house has opened that establishment to the
| free use of any one possessing bath suit.
Among the recent arrivals who have come
| to spend the season with their families at
south beach are c. E. Pendell. G. Anderson,

| this morning and withdrew their pleas of
not guilty heretofore entered. A demurrer
was interposed, argued, submitted and ia
ken under advisement by the judge, who
gave defendants attorneys leave to file
briefs at any time during the next week
Several peculiar points have presented
themselves in the prosecution of this mat
ter as the laws of the town and state con-
fict and as 1t has been found that five sep
arate complaints should have been entered
against the women instead of the one which
included the lot. City Marshal Baretto is
quoted as saying that he is in earnest in the
cleaning out of the Second street houses
and that if the people will stand by him he
will succeed.
