LAKE, MANAwA,s OPENING.
Pretty sylvan Retreat to BE Thrown
Open TO the Public Today.

Pretty sylvan Retreat to Re Thrown
Open to the Public Today.
Today Lake Manawa will be opened for
the summer season. AS last season. J. A.
Grifiths is managerial head. Considerable
change has been wrought at both Lake
Manawa and Manhattan Beach for the
better. Some new improvements in the
way OF additions and conveniences have
been made to some of the park and beach
buildings. Everything has received a thor
ough o~verhaulihg and much fresh paint has
been used, so hat the parks present a
brand new appearance. The landscape
gardening has been much improved upon
and with the splendid grass-grown lawns
and fully leafed trees make a very pretty
picture. The boat docks and waterfront
have been improved. The feet OF boats
has been materially increased and repaired.
Fast electric and steam launches have been
added to the fiotilla. Tennis courts, a base
ball field and athletic grounds have been
laid out.
On the cool, wide ~verandahed pavilion
meals and refreshments will be served this
season under the direction of H. Kayner
of Cleveland, o., who has quite a reputa-
ton as a park caterer. All the usual park
adjuncts. such as merry-gp-rounds, bowl
ing alleys, shooting galleries, swings and
the like have been put in and will doubt
less furnish advertisement for both young
and old. Daily balloon ascensions will be
made by daring ~aeronauts. who will, after
performing dificult stunts in midair, make
sensational and daring parachute drops to
earth. The free feature of the resort will
doubtless prove. as it did last year. the
greatest drawing card OF them all, Covalts
celebrated band OF thirty-ive selected mu-
sicians.
This band, as all will admit who heard II
last season, is the best musical organisation
that ever visited this section of country,
sOusa and but one OF two others possibly
excepted. Manhattan Beach, the best
bathing beach in the west with the finest
complement OF bath houses. Music will be
furnished in the Kursall both afternoon
and evening. II is unnecessary to say, in
view OF the weather Of the last week. that
the lake is brimful OF pure crystal water.

CUTS DOWN cASEYS CLAIMS
Justice Foster Delivers n Learned
Opinion ON value of Might
Clerks Services.

James Casey. politician and raconteur.
has obtained judgment for SO on his claim
against Archibald Gordon for services of
the alleged value of S125. Justice Foster
in the opinion he has prepared for the
Northwest Reporter says:
The evidence In this case shows the
plaintiff to have entered the employ of
the defendant last December as might
clerk at the Cambridge hotel. 2O2 North
Thirteenth street, with no more precise
stipulation as to remuneration than a YER
bal agreement that he should be paid what
ever his services we're reasonably worth. 1t
shows further that occasional vacations
taken by the plaintiff reduced the time OF
actual service to eighteen weeks, and that
plaintiff has been paid a total OF $26 In
cash. Competent witnesses have, testified
that when they served as night clerk at the
same hosiery they received 81 per week
and all the comforts of a home. The plain
tin in this case received the same comforts
and, allowing him the same salary, the
total cash consideration should be S36, but
having already received S6, this court rem.
ders judgment for only the remainder due

This court is not unmindful that plain.

ton and assume such additional responsi-
bilities as are involved in the application
of cleansing agencies to s~ustenance re-

But II we have not permitted these
things to be overlooked, neither nave we
been needless of the circumstance that
the Cambridge is not the Waldorf-Astoria
by several stories and many ~jugfulls, and
that the plaintiff, having been a frequent
guest of both, must have recognized the
difference before entering upon his term
Of employment. Moreover. his own testi-
mony is a concession that he shared in
the culinary deiicacies of the Cambridge
fare and had his own boudoir wherein
Morpheus luhed him undisturbed through
the hours of his freedom. Natatorial and
ablutionary facilities and appurtenances
were also at his command, but mention
of these may, perhaps, be immaterial In
this case.

sion as shall do violence to neither the con-

WlTHNELL READY TO GO ON
Declines 20 Tie Up City Work for
Personal Political Pur-
poses.

Building Inspector Withheld, who ex-
of1cio is one Of the three members of the
Board of Public Works, announced yes
terday that he woul make no EFFORT to
interfere with the appointment of employees
made by the late board and confirmed by
the council While Comptroller Lobeck. the
second democratic member OF the board.
refused to talk. It is understood that he has
receded from the reported plan either to
block public work or control the patronage.
Inspector Withheld said: IT am not dis
posed to complicate matters by insisting
upon a new list of employees. and 1 am not
willing to tie up the work OF the depart
ment in the effort to have them confirmed
by the council. So far as the legal phases
OF the question are concerned, I know moth
ing about them. 1 have looked over the
list of employees appointed and confirmed
and find that the men are capable and
efficient, and hat a number OF them are
democrats.
Further than this, I wish it understood
that I desire to work in harmony with
Mayor Moores and the whole administra-
ton. and to act in such a way as to best
serve the city. AS to the assistant building
inspector. / would like to have a man of
my own selection, as l will be held respon-
sible for his performance"
This positive statement has cleared away
the clouds that were threatening TO spill
a storm over the public works department,
as Withheld with City Engineer Rosewater
will constitute a majority of the board,
thereby defeating any disturbing policy
which Comptroller Lobeck might inaugu-
rate.
The Board OF Public Works had a quiet
and brief session yesterday. Comptrol-
Ter Lobeck suggested that the May pay
roll, amounting to S,S5S, be referred to the
city attorney for an opinion as to whether
payment should be made, as the men had
worked without c~ouncilmanic confirmation.
An adjourned meeting will be held at A.:
o'clock Monday afternoon to receive the
opinion and take action. Comptroller To-
beck had a resolution adopted which re-
quires the secretary TO notify each member
In = writing OF every regular and special
meeting OF the board.

The rains have given corn a serious set

Senate Umstead of Fullerton, who is in

to be replanted. but unless tile rains con-
tinue as bad as they have been i don't
look for much r~eplsnting. A great deal OF

CLASH OF CARS HURTS MANY
Collision OF Hausoom Park Line Near
Twenty-N nth and Hickory,
CONDUCTOR AND PASSENGERS INJURED
No Fatal Injuries, However, Despite
Tremendous Force OF Collision,
which DemoIishes Both open
and closed Cars.

A street car collision in which a conductor
and passengers were injured and the
cars badly damaged occurred last even
ing about Z o'clock on the Hanscom
park line on Twenty-ninth street between
Hickory street and Shirley avenue. Al
that point the tracks converge to a single
line TO the end of the track at Walnut
street.
A summer car, No. Ais, C. Jansen. motor
man, and Harry Streight. conductor, with
about twenty-five passengers aboard, was
going south and a closed car, No. SO, Ed
Herman, conductor, and A. L. Small, mo-
torman, with but one passenger, was COM
ing north. 1t was raining hard at the time
and the two cars came together just at
the switch. The closed car had cleared
the switch and just at that moment the
brakes of the summer car proved refrae-
tory and the cars collided with tremendous
force. The impact nearly tore the entire
bed and top from the summer car and
crushed In all the windows of the closed
car. The summer car was derailed and
tumbled partly over and the passengers
were practically imprisoned by the wreck.
Conductor Harry SUeight was at the far
end of the car and was badly hurt by the
force OF the collision in the back, about the
head and one leg badly bruised. Miss
Bertha Beilstein OF Thirty-Second ana
Boulevard avenue was badly bruised, but
not seriously hurt. She was taken to the
home of DR.. Sherraden, 1873 South Twenty
ninth street. and cared for, and later taken
to her home by DR.. Powell. Truman Sa-
bine of 2s13 Shirley avenue vas also badly
bruised and shaken up. as was Mike oven
and George Switala. young men living in
that vicinity on Twenty-ninth street. One
or two other passengers were slightly cut
by flying glass from the closed car. No
one was hurt on the closed car.
Conductor Badly Hurt.
Conductor Streight was the most seriously
injured of any. He was taken to his home
at Twenty-lrst and Henderson avenue. DR..
Paul H. Ellis is attending hin and gives
out the information that his principal In
Jury is a partial fracture of the pelvic
bone and the severe straining of some OF
the ligaments. His injuries are not neces-
sarily dangerous. but he will be laid up
for several weeks, the doctor says.
The wrecked cars caused a blockade OF
the tracks for an hour or more and were
finally taken to the street car barn at
Twenty-fourth street and Ames avenue.
