ONLY TWO WEEKS REMAIN OF
THIS SEASON
Addresses by Noted Lecturers, Musical
Concerts and Vaudeville Perform
ances Are Features of the Program
During the Next Seven Days

This week is the last but one Of the
summer assembly at Venice. Its In
terest, apparently, will not abate In
the least. In fact 1t seems to be
steady crescendo. Most of the people
who will appear this week are now well
known to Venice and Los Angeles.
Sunday night the Columbia Park

classical and sacred concert with ex-
ira selections of negro melodies and
on Monday night the same club gives a

was inaugurated last week and will
continue to the end of the season.
On Tuesday afternoon the genial and
interesting Baba gives the first ad-
dress in his series of three on "Re-
incarnation" under the subhead 'Kar-
ma" The Baba's class in spiritual de-
velopment is maintaing the same in
terest that has been displayed hereto
fore. The fact that peculiar and exotic
sounds are heard TO issue regularly
from the east tower in the auditorium
is arouslng further degree OF ex-
cited and curious interest. and when
there is added to that the news passed
about under bated breath that the
pupils may be observed in most weird

HE DENIES HER ACCUSATIONS
Helen MoNslIy Belford, Daughter Of
Millionaire Publisher, Sues for
Separation From Abbot
klnney's Manager

Alexander Belford, confidential man
ager for Abbot Kinney, was made do
fendant In a suit for divorce filed in
the superior court of Chicago last week
by Mrs. Helen McNally Belford daugh-
ter of the late Andrew McNally, for
mer head Of the publishing house Of
Rand, McNally & Co.
According to reports from the east
the complaint not only alleges deser-
ton, but charges intemperate habits
past.
The suit for divorce has grown out Of
differences between Belford and the
relatives of his wife. According to the
report from Chicago, Belford married
Miss Helen McNally in that city in
1888. He was formerly a publisher in
Toronto and was naturally attracted to
the daughter of one of the wealthiest
publishers in the west. 1t is said he
obtained a divorce from his first wife,
but this did not detract from the ardor
of his second wooing. Several years
ago, after the failure of the firm of
Werner & Co., in which Belford met
with heavy reverses, he moved to Cali
fornia with his wife and two children
Alexander and Helen, and took up his
residence in the McNally home in Pas
adena. In 1908 Mrs. Bedford separated
from her husband and went to her
mothers home in Chicago, taking her
children with her.
In the meantime Belford has been
living at the Angelus hotel in this city
and has been taking care of great
number of the Abbot Kinney interests.
Trouble over Estate
It is rumored that the trouble from
the settlement of the McNally estate
forms link in the chain of difficulties
between husband and wife, and this
fight over the settlement is pending in
the Los Angeles county courts.
1T have not heard of the filing of this
suit for DIVORCE" said Belford yester-
day. ''It is entirely news to me, and
being unprepared have nothing to say
relative to the charges. In regard to
the charge Of intoxication it Is absurd.
1 have lived in this hotel for the past
two years and have lived out where
everyone could see me, and if there is
a man in this country who can say he
has ever seen me under the influence
of liquor 1t will be surprise to me.
my relations with my wife have
always been what they should be and
1t has been only two weeks since I re-
ceived a letter from her, which started
with Dear Alex and ended with love-
"My wife is the best woman in the
world and never in all my life have I
met a woman who can compare with
her. OF course when woman is in
dependent of all help or support from
others she becomes very different My
wife is in Chicago with her people, with
whom have had some difficulties, and
am in Los Angeles. A woman sur
rounded by her relatives can easily be
led to do things which she might not
ordinarily do"

FREE LECTURE TOUR OF
DIR. M'IVOR=TYNDALL
OLIVER MOROSCO WILL BE HIS MA
Los Angeles Pychst Reported to Be Heavily Backed by
Unnamed Philanthropist, Who Is Also Supposed to Be
Behind Movement to Build Temple in This City

The mystery" which has enveloped
the plans of DR.. A. ]. McIvor- -Tyndall's
free lecture tour of the United States
was largely swept away yesterday
when it was announced that Oliver
Morosco had been engaged to manage
the enterprise. The name of the fl
nancial backer of the enterprise is not
yet disclosed. Mr.. Morosco declines
to state who is contributing the money
for the tour, but says ample is forth
coming not only for the Doctors own
compensation but for the retinue of
servants, hotel and travelling bills, and
Mr.. Morosco's part as well.
In an interview with a Herald re-
porter Mr.. Morosco said:
ut is quite true that I have been
approached with a proposition to man
age McIvor- -Tyndalps proposed tour,
and 1t is equally true that 1 have
about contaminated all my plans re-
garding the same, for not only does it
interest me from a financial standpoint
but the doctor has inspired me with
the desire to help this movement to
promote the growth of psychic re-
search. I am deeply interested and
can see in the future results that will
naturally spring from this tour.
I'm the first place it is the doctors
work not only to give his strongest lee
lures to the public but to make a rec
ord of all experiences in the various
cities and towns he visits.
"At the conclusion Of the tour we
will put all these experiences together,
which will embrace "Apparitions,"
"Ghost Stories" Proofs of Immortal
ity," Haunted Houses" "Telepathy,"
Thought Transference" "Clairvoy-
ance," etc, and edit a book giving
each important experience in detail
and just as it happened, whether the
"Ghost" story will have been told by
some one else or whether the doctor
himself will have exposed any such
happenings as are usually included in
ghost" story of that caliber. Every
thing in fact will appear in black and
white just as 1t happened, just as 1t
was told, or If exposed, just as 1t was
exposed.
1--WE will make a tour OF most of the
principal cities and towns of the
United States. and should the move
ment be as well thought of as we have
reason to expect we will then arrange
tour of Europe beginning possibly
In September, 1906. Our present tour
will start in Pasadena on September
I, or 13, and while am opposed to
the latter date as 1t is considered a
theatrical hoodoo the doctor is very
earnest in his desire to open on the
18th.
I'VE will lecture in Southern Califor-
MIA, then Northern California, Utah,
Colorado, over the Short Line into
Oregon and Washington, thence east.
and come home by the way OF New
Orleans and Texas. at which time in
all probability DR.. Tyndalls new home
for psychic scientists will have been
built"
Mr.. Morosco says he has still another
motive for conducting this tour. but
does not care to have his other plans
made known for the present.

COMBINE AMONG
RETAILERS Is
CHARGED
Profits on Sales Are
Enormous
Consumers Are Unable to.
Explain System
Products Of Southern California Bring
Prices In Local Markets Equal
to Those Demanded In
Eastern Cities

Does a fruit trust exist in Southern
California and is the statement true
that a few men control not only the
Wholesale but also the retail price Of
fruits in Southern California?
Fasteners express themselves as
astounded over the high prices which
residents of Los Angeles are accus-
toned to pay for their local produce.
One of them said yesterday: Half
way across the continent we pay but
little more for California fruit than you
do here, yet the price of freight and
refrigerating Is added to the cost of
production"
Retail Combine
Down at the city markets the big
produce companies have formed a
Produce exchange which regulates
wholesale prices, and it is alleged that
a similar combination has been estab-
lished between the various retail
dealers.
Consumers say these combinations
serve to bolster the prices of any COM
modify when the market happens to
become flooded, but no attempt has
ever been made to lower price once
established.
1t is generally believed that the prices
regulated by the Produce exchange
have generally been reasonable enough.
Tomatoes sell at wholesale at cent
pound, cantaloupes from 2 to cents
each and strawberries at prices rang
ing from to cents a box. The re-
tailers, however have not been so con-
servative.
A CONSUMER says: 1.-THE evil of the
existing combination between the retail
fruit dealers rests in the advance de-
manded over the wholesale price. APP
pies which are bought wholesale at an
average of cents a pound are sold by
the retailers at tx cents, and the fact
that this fruit is by no means choice
from legitimate, while the 400 per cent
profit from buying tomatoes at 1 cent
a pound and selling at cents is even
more in favor Of the retailer.
1.-The fruit peddlers who sell from door
to door are able to sell at prices far
below those demanded by the so-called
reputable merchants and still make a
fair average of profit-as an example.
Strawberries which have been sold as
high as 10 cents per box by the re-
Ia.r
the wagons at tx cents per box, a diff
ference of so per cent in the amount
of profit.
1.-THE orange market is the one in
. which the greatest annual average of
profit is made. Yesterday oranges were
quoted at II cents dozen in the whole
sale market, while at retail they were
bringing 30 to 40 cents. In the ship
ping season, conditions are even worse,
for while all the best fruit is sent east
eastern prices are charged for the sec
ond grade oranges placed upon the
local market.
1.-THE dealers make the claim that
theirs is a perishable stock and that
goods, but the fact remains that the
enormous profit received for the
products OF local markets, delivered at
practically no expense at the doors of
the retail stores. is what keeps the
local prices Of fruit on level with
those in the eastern markets Of the
same commodity, for the reason that the
eastern merchant is content with but a
fair profit upon his investment"

Sebastopol, May 8.-The torpedo
boats which are being built at the gov
eminent yard here under the general
supervision Of Lewis Nixon, Of New
York, are nearing completion and
their trials in the Black sea will be-
gin in few days. In order to over
come the difficulty always encountered
in work in foreign country Mr.. Nix
on provided his own organization,
with which he has pushed the con-
struction Of these boats to a successful;
completion.
Much is expected Of these torpedo
boats. The Russian admiralty all
ready has had practical evidence Of
the seaworthiness Of the Nixon boats
in the performance of the Gregory,
which crossed the Atlantic in the face
of heavy weather; but the future
prestige Of the designer of the Amerl-
can battleship Oregon, will depend in
Russia upon the result Of the coming
trials, which will be much more severe
than usual in order to test certain
things claimed for them by their
American constructor.

ARKANSAS RIVER SUIT.
Attorneys IN the fknnsas-C Colorado
Case GatherinS Evidence
Along fhe StFean.


Hutchinson. Kan, May S.--The suit
Of Kansas against the ditch owners Of
Colorado to prevent them taking water
out Of the upper Arkansas river had q
round In Hutchinson Saturday. Depo-
sitions were taken before the United
States commissioner. The state OF Col
orado conducted the side Of the ditch
owners, and was represented by four
lawyers, while Kansas had but two.
The Arkansas river Is hard to depend
on when 1t comes to giving evidence
on It's own hook Just as the stream
almost disappears and the catfish have
to go ashore to get a drink and the
Kansas attorneys think their side Is
proven, along comes flood and the
Colorado folks rejoice. And then when
the torrent Is raging, knocking ont
bridges and filing the hearts Of the
Denver attorneys with Joy. the bottom
drops out and 1t requires pump to
prove that there is such a stream as
the Arkansas at all. A year ago the
Kansas side OF the case was given by
witnesses along the river. Now the
Colorado people are having their In
ming. But the evidence thus far CIV
