PLAN TO EXTEND THE
TEMPLE STREET LINE
Application Filed for Franchise to Ira
verse Northwesterly Course
From City limits

What is said to be a plan of the Pa
cific Electric railway to extend it's Tenn
pie street line for mile and a half be-
yond the city limits into a country
which would prove a splendid feeder,
develops in the application by private
individuals for a franchise from the
board of supervisors for a railway to
run in a northwesterly direction from
the city limits of Los Angeles.
The individuals seeking the franchise,
which they ask shall be made to ex-
tend over a period of forty years, are
George Rheinchild, r. Rigby and IrX-
ing r. Rigby, the latter two composing
the Broadway Land company.
Real estate men say that the building
of such a line would open up an eX-
tensive area as a residence district.
The line, according to the specifica-
tions, if the franchise is granted, will
be constructed as follows
Course of New Line
Commencing at the intersection of
Temple street and Woodward avenue;
thence in a northerly direction over
Woodward avenue to and across Santa
Monica avenue to Avery avenue; thence
in the same general direction on Avery
avenue to Benefit street; thence across
Benefit street to Terrace avenue; thence
on Terrace avenue TO Sunset boule-
ward; thence on Sunset boulevard, in a
northwesterly direction about 400 feet,
across Sunset avenue; thence north
over private property to Prospect ave-
nue.; thence across Prospect avenue to
a point at or nearly equidstant from
Vermont avenue and Talmage street;
thence northerly in direct courses over
private property to Franklin avenue;
thence across Franklin avenue; thence
in the same general direction over pri-
vate property north to Myrtle avenue;
thence north across Myrtle avenue;
thence i'm the same general direction
north over private property to Los Fe-
liz avenue: thence across Los Feliz ave-
nue., In Los Angeles county.
The southern terminal of the line at
woodward avenue and Temple street,
is within Ave blocks of the northern
terminal of the Temple street line of
the Pacific Electric, and without an
entrance into the heart of the city by
means of the Pacific Electric company's
rails would be Of little practical use.

The play Mariana is the story or
the tragedy bringing on a repeat Of
history"-or what almost amounts to
one. 1t is a tremendous story with a
tremendous climax and splendidly
unexpected finale, that reused the
audience out of the stupor of dullness
they had naturally fallen into during
the first three acts. The climax was
overong in coming. But Miss An.
glins gowns kept the women on the
qui vive trying to get the details; the
play was given up i'm despair. 1t found
ers for almost three solid acts with no
situations, no plot, and some forced
character portrayals thrown mas the
antlquary's-to fill up.
Mariana is a volatile, beautiful, vo-
luptuous, hot-tempered coquette, her
one tragedy her mothers story; even
her husbands death on her marriage
day had left her cold. Her mother.
under an evil spell, is seduced from
home with her child, to finally die.
Her child, Mariana, comes back to
her own, but comes back to fall unde"
the influence of the son of the very
man who had ruined her mother. To
escape from this mutual passion she
marries another man, to be finally shot
down by her husband before her lovers
eyes-her own wish, to be saved from
herself.
1t is a play with but one character
Marianas. The other principals are
but foils, and the minors but help to
clutter the action of play that in the
hands of a great playwright might be
great production.
Miss Anglin was seen at her best
in the title role. Her changes from
grave to gay, passion giving place
to tears, mockery to love, were wonder
fully managed and saved the vapidly
unconvincing earlier scenes; at the
finale, her passion fighting her old ter
ror of the repeated history of her
mother she rises to a tremendous sus-
tanned power. 1t is a climax that a
drop of a second would ruin.
The other members of the company
fill their parts creditably. In Don
Joaquin, Arthur Lawrence does a fine
piece of work. Frank Worthing is d
wonderfully poetic Danielo; it is a role
that fits the sensitive presence of the
man; he brings to the final scene and
it's setting thrill of power.
Mariana" re-done by a playwright
with judgment enough to condense and
vivify the foolery of the first two acts,
might be a great emotional drama.

SANTA MONICA
MAYOR RESIGNS
Special to The Herald.

SANTA MONICA, May 1.-THE an
nouncement came today from Mayor
T. H. Dudley that he would ask to be
relieved of his office as well as the
duties of chairman of the board Of city
trustees at the meeting of that body
to be held next Monday evening. This
action was followed by an official no.
tice from the chief executive in which
he stated his reasons for resigning,
which are in part as follows:
MY business interest demands it.
The interests of the people are my in
terests. I live on the South side and
have interests there as we'll as here
and I receive great deal of unjust
criticism. The unpleasantness of late
has been so great that L feel l must
step out. ] have been member of the
board of city trustees for five years
and for four years have presided oves
that body. l resign without any per-
sonal i'll feeling toward any member OF
the board"
For many months past there has been
friction at the regular weekly sessions
of the trustees. On several occasions
the mayor with one or two of the
board, has appeared at the council
chamber of an evening ready to trar-
sact official business, then after a wait
of an hour or more without so much
as a telephone message from the alb
sent members they have been compelled
to adjourn because of lack of a
Quorum That this has proved an
noylng to Mr. Dudley there can be no
doubt.
But the straw that broke the camers
back. so the knowing ones declare, was
occasioned by the actions of Trustee
j. C. Steele of poker fame, who at the
meeting of the board held Monday
evening loudly proclaimed the chair
man to be mo more important than
any other member" Steele called Trus-
tee Goetz and Attorney Taft liars, in
addition to raising general hubbub
when a permit was granted for the
erection of pier at the foot of Marine
street.
Today, by the approval of majority
of the board, an expensive arch, paid
for by the merchants of Ocean Park
and spanning Pier avenue, was re-
moved by the Santa Monica street su-
perintendent and sent to the city junk
pile. This action was the outcome of
a controversy that has been going on
for weeks as to whether or not the
offshoot city should have her "Wel-
come to Ocean Park glaring at WIS.,
itors within the boundary lines of San
ta Monica. Mayor Dudley did not ap-
prove of this action. and to say that
the men whose money bought the
structure are mad is putting 1t mildly.

cided on, and backed by the Ocean
Park Improvement company, a fight
such as never before resulted between

MUST ELIMINATE
POLITICS FIRST
BEFORE TRYING MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP
NOT A SUCCESS OTHERWISE
German Professor, Studying American
Institutions and Economics,
Gives Views on Great
Question
NOT A SUCCESS OTHERWISE

Municipal ownership Is meeting
with success in Germany Nearly all
cities own their water and lighting
plants and some are operating their
street railways. / do not believe sue
cessful municipal ownership of public
utilities is possible where the lines of
politics are closely drawn"
This Is the statement of Prof. ID.
Darmstetler, q close student Of the po-
litical institutions of his own country,
and now in America for a years study
along the same lines, after which he
returns to Germany to take the chair
of American history and political in
stitutions in Berlin university.
He arrived in Los Angeles yesterday
for four days visit here, during
which time he will investigate the city
and county government, visit points of
interest about Los Angeles and then
continue his journey to San Francisco.
"I am not making the assertion that,
because we find municipal ownership
to work successfully in Germany, 1t
will work elsewhere with equal sue
cess" continued Prof. Darmstetler
"The people of Germany and the polit-
ical institutions of the towns are
quite different from those in America.
"In Germany we do not have the
Vaccinations of politics in town gov
ernment. Where that exists / cannot
see very bright future for the city
owning it's own public utilities.

Germans do not have the American
habit of moving from city to city.

course, gives stability to every NUM-

cities, because 1 do not know their
conditions, and this question must be
worked out by each city for itself"
United States for the past six weeks
during which time he visited Wash.
ington, where he was shown every
courtesy in his investigations.
The past month he has spent in the
south, studying the negro question, but
is loath to talk of the results Of his
Investigations.
He is greatly interested in the govern
ment's control and disposition of the
public lands and in addition to his
researches at Washington, will visit
the land office here, as well as making
observations of the county and city
government.
He will remain in the United States
until next November, after which he
will return to Germany to collate
his facts and in April, 1906, will begin
his lectures at the Berlin university.

then he chuckled deep down in his

That right swing of his was due in the
third round, and he felt that he must
hang on to himself a bit and not break
Mr.. Wilkins neck and have a %coroner's

pOrtunity came. He saw the opening
and swung for it, and he had started to

said to Mrs. Bowser:

you that your husband is lying in a
peaceful sleep on the garnet floor and
that it will be useless to try to waken
him for the next quarter Of an hour.
He won't die of it, but he will know
more about the manly art tomorrow.

and looked around in a stupid way he
smelled camphor and saw Mrs. Bowser
bending V him.
