The Baltimore oarsmen are greatly
pleased that the big regatta comes to
Washington this year. as 1t will give them
chance to enter crews In almost every
race. Last year when the national
held their course they were kept out
of the 'goings' because the national does
not cater to the junior class of oarsmen.
Baltimore Will make at least ten entries for
the race here in September

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Choral Society

1t is many years since Mendelssohn's
Hymn of Praise" and Rossinfs "Sta-
bat Mater" were rendered in Los An
geles, SO they will be quite new to
many of the devotees of good music
when the Los Angeles Choral society
presents them at their second recital
this season. Prof. jain has been re-
hearsing his body of singers and they
have overcome the intricacies of the
two great composers work. On Fri
day evening, April 20, at the Mason
opera house, the members of the Choral
society, supporting competent soloists
and assisted by the Los Angeles SYM
phony orchestra, will unite in render
ing these masterpieces Of oratorial
compositions. Mr.. Tom Karl, the we'll
known tenor, and Miss Catherine Col
lette, the soprano, are soloists for the
Hymn of Praise" For the "Stabat
Mater" Mr. Harry Barnhardt will sing
the bass role, and Maude Reese Davies
has been selected as soprano, while
Norma Rockhold is to be the contralto.
Prof. jain promises a most delightful
production and a most artistic rendi-
toin of these great works.

CHANCE FOR OWL CARS

There has arisen some question about
the legality OF some small portions of
the car lines OF the Los Angeles rail-
way company downtown. A case in
point is block in West Seventh street,
on which it runs cars, and has no
franchise. Wouldn't it be well, in set
tling these cases, to insist upon owl
cars on all necessary Los Angeles
railway lines, as a sine qua non?
The Los Angeles-Pacific company
wants tunnel through Hill street to
Sunset boulevard and the right to run
Hollywood and Colegrove cars via Hill
to Sunset While considering this,
wouldn't it be well to ask the Los An
geles-Pacific company, as primal
requisite, to run owl cars on all its
lines?
The Interurban company is Fighting
for the right to run freight trolley cars
in the city's streets. In coming to
conclusion, wouldn't it be wise to in
sist first on owl cars on all Interurban
lines?
The way to get owl cars is to get
'em-peacefully if necessary or pos
sible; by the "big stick" If we must.
But-get 'em.

PRACTICAL REFORM METHOD

Judge Willis Brown of the Salt Lake
Juvenile court is on the right track
in his method for breaking up the
cigarette habit among Los Angeles
boys. His professional service and his
philanthropic bent enable him to un-
derstand boy nature in an eminent de-
gree. He knows that an ounce OF
moral suasion Is worth more than a
pound Of coercion in managing boy
hood.
State laws and municipal ordinances
have been tried all over the United
States in efforts to suppress cigarette
smoking by boys. If such efforts have
been successful anywhere the fact has
not been proclaimed from the house,
top Close observers of the average
American boy know that the worst
possible method for weaving him from
the cigarette habit Is to threaten him
with punishment If he dares to disobey
an order to stop it. And that trait
shows plainly in a general way, at
times, in most American boys at all
stages of maturity.
Judge Brown, as remarked before, is
on the right track in his juvenile re-
form movement. He Is doing a splen-
cid practical work for Los Angeles and
he should have the encouragement and
backing of all citizens.

SALT LAKE TO SAN DIEGO

The people of San Diego are greatly
elated by reason of some outgivings
from Senator Clark concerning a pos
sible extension of the Salt Lake rail-
way to the southern city. From Wash
ingtonl the senator is reported as say
ing that he has written to his brother
in Los Angeles requesting him to
make preliminary Investigations of
route, terminals, amount of business in
sight and so on" 1t is understood that
the suggestion, relates to a branch of
the Salt Lake from Riverside to San
Diego.
A cursory examination of the pro-
posed branch, however, causes grave
doubt of its practicability. San Diego
is a little east of south from Riverside.
A new road on that line would practi-
cally parallel the Santa Fe route on
the southern half. On the other half
there already is fairly direct railway
communication the greater part Of the
distance.
Senator Clark says: at is not de-
sirable to consider any plan to build
through a section already occupied by
the Santa Fe railway" The existing
branches of railway reaching south
ward from Riverside belong to the
Southern Pacific system, and as the
Hartman syndicate owns half Of the
Salt Lake railway there is but little
likelihood of paralleling in that section.
1t is difficult to see how a San Diego
branch of the Salt Lake route could
greatly benefit San Diego in any event.
What that city needs for its develop
ment is rot another northward rail-
way but one extending directly east
ward, tapping the Southern Pacific and
its connections at Yuma. The apparent
distance from San Diego to Yuma is
only about one-third greater than the
distance between San Diego and
Riverside.
The Herald sincerely hopes that San
Diego may soon secure direct rail-
way outlet for it's present pent-up op-
portunities. The lack of such an out
let is the only drawback to the splen-
did development that the bay city is
destined to enjoy.

And an open road to follow
An endless road that wanders by,
Or wooded hill or hollow,

We roam the wild world over,
Hurrah for the tramp, and the road

And the empire of the rover.
TIo for the road that leads away
From the prison gates O. pride!
And sing song for hopes gone
wrong
And the little love-that died.
A toast to the life of the open road
The life that is free from toll
And the tribute won 'twixt sun and

Rough comrades, they, on the far

AN OVERWHELMED OFFICIAL

1t Is convincing response that Su-
perintendent Hanley makes to popu-
lar complaint about the condition Of
many streets.
I'VE are building more than 5000
houses a year. Each house has to be
connected with the street for gas and
water. Miles and miles of gas mains
and water pipes are laid. The people
here do not realize how much improve
ment is going on. Los Angeles is grow
ing into a large city almost at a
bound. The wheels of progress are
buzzlng like an electric fan. Natural
ly the streets suffer"
That is a word picture true to life,
showing the street situation in Los
Angeles. 1t is a fact that the city is
growing at rate that makes the ap-
propriations for street service totally
inadequate Instead of the folly OF
hampering the street department by
lack OF necessary funds, the appropria-
ton should be sufficient to save the
superintendent from being showed
under" by an avalanche of work.
But there is another phase of this
situation and one which is more inn
portant than popular convenience in
some of the scarified streets. 1t is a
fact, only too we'll known to residents
of many outlying sections of the city,
that the advance of improvement is
checked by the want of just such street
upheaval as other residents complain
of. For instance. some Of the most
promising new resident sections-some
not more than fifteen or twenty min
utes by car from the heart of the
city, are stunted in their growth for
want of gas and sewer service.
The first inquiry Of an observant
home-seeker is about water, sewer and
gas connections. The extension of wa
ter service meets all requirements, but
there are sections now checked that
soon would be closely dotted with
homes but for want of the other essen
tial public utilities.

BOULEVARD TO THE SEA

Members of the chamber of COM
rnerce, county supervisors and others,
who yesterday made a semi-official in
spection of the proposed Wiltshire bou-
levard route to the sea, are almost
unanimous in the expression of their
opinion that the route is feasible and
perhaps the very best that could be
suggested.
From Westlake park to Santa Monica
the roadway lies high. overlooking all
the valley.
Santa Monica has constructed a
splendid boulevard to Sherman, a dis
tance of four miles. From Sherman
the boulevard would have to be con-
structed for about two miles, but
from that point to Westlake park the
roadway presents no difficulties.
Los Angeles must build boulevards
TO the sea-one to begin with, and
others as they may be deemed neces-
sary.
Los Angeles is destined to cover
every foot of territory between the
beaches and the mountains, and these
boulevards will constitute the basis of
the connecting link, necessary ad-
junct of the steam and street railways.
The Herald favors the construction
of a seaward boulevard at the earli-
est practicable moment, and the Will
shire route seems to present all the
requisites for a splendid roadway of
this character.

SEASIDE RESORT RIVALRY

More strenuous than ever before will
be the rivalry this year among the
various seaside resorts near Los An
by the zeal manifested at all the
beaches in anticipation of the summer
season now opening.
For the especial benefit of strangers
it may be we'll to interpolate here the
information that our seaside resorts
present, like some vaudeville shows in
the big cities, an almost continuous
performance" There is hardly break
between winter and summer seasons at
the nearby beaches, because the east
ern tourists of the winter make way
in the spring for the summer tourists
from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas,
ETC., and the latter return the COM
pliment when "the last rose of summer
is faded and gone"
1t is noticeable that the more pro-
gressive spirits at the beach resorts
are adopting the busness-like methods
epitomzed in the saying, 1T pays to
the leaders in the development of Ocean
Park, Venice and Playa del Rey are
pooling their interests to the extent
of laying out comprehensive plan for
advertising the attractions of that all
Turing group of seaside resorts. Santa
Monica is arouslng to the Importance
of similar enterprise. The newer COM
petitors down the coast have recognized,
in a measure, the advantages of such
effort and the vigorous pushers of
Long Beach, San Pedro and other
cities by the sea may be depended upon
to keep an even pace with their up
coast neighbors
1t never is good business policy, bor-
rowing a scriptural simile, to hide
your light under bushel"

RUNS HALF MILE OFF RAILS
Locomotive After Dash Down Grade,
Leaps Back and Then Plunges
Into Creek
snecial to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 13.-Le-
high Valley freight locomotive No. 555
was wrecked by a most remarkable
series of accidents last night after run
ming away from Hazel Creek bridge to
Weatherly.
Near Hazel Creek bridge the loco
motive jumped the track on the heavy
down grade. Engineer Mcconnell and
his fireman leaped off to make an ex-
animation, and while they were doing
so the engine started down grade over
the ties, humping along at such speed
that the trainmen could not overtake
her.
The locomotives speed increased, and
half a mile down the grade at Wealth
erly crossing, where there are guide
rails and heavy planks, the engine took
the rails again and with accelerated
speed dashed through Weatherly, emit
ting redhot sparks from the wheels,
which were held by the set brakes.
The wild flight continued until tho
sharp curve at Black Creek junction
was reached and with last mad leap
No. 555 left the tracks there and
plunged into the creek at the very
place where a similar wreck occurred
a year ago.

NEW YORK, April 13.--The Metro

transfers must be obtained on pay

of the liveliest kind of a row on n
northbound Ninth avenue car yester-
day morning. Thomas Howland. the
conductor, and Mary Russell of 800
West Forty-first street, the passenger,
blocked traffic on the Ninth avenue
branch for nearly fifteen minutes; Il
call was sent to Roosevelt hospital for
an ambulance and both persons finally
were arrested on counter charges of
assault. Magistrate Whitman in the
West Side court made some side re-
marks about the new transfer order
that were not appreciated by the rail-
way companys representative.
Miss Russell is about three times the
size of the conductor. She says she
got on at Forty-second street and
Ninth avenue and asked Rowland for
a transfer as soon as she had paid her
fare, and he told her to wait. When
she insisted that Howland give her
the transfer, he punched her in the
face, she says, knocked two teeth down
her throat and cut her about the
mouth.
Howland denied that he struck the
woman, and declared that she never

PORTLAND, Ore, April 13.-A busi-

taurant and the men and women who
sat at the tables at luncheon, carefully
noted the showcases filled with handi-
work and fancy articles, and seemed
suddenly to make up his mind on his
course of action. Striding UP to the
young woman who presided at the cake
and bread counter, he stated his busi-

"I came in here to see if could get
a wife. DO you keep women here who
want to get married?"

He was so businesslike and frank
about the matter that the clerk rather

him that the women's exchange only
sold the work which women do and
served their cookery at their noon
