Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, April 12.-Mrs. Be-
atrice Rice, 10 years Of age and of good
appearance, was discovered lying in
sensible near the strngpiece of the
Horseshoe pier at a late hour last
night.
She was removed to a nearby room
ing house and upon recovering con-
seriousness told a disconnected story of
having drank glass of liquor, and at
tributed her condition to its effects.
The police did not deem the woman's
explanation sufficient and instituted a
searching inquiry but were unable to
fathom the affair. Mrs. Rice is a res
ident of Venice.
At meeting of the Shriners' recep-
ton committee held at the ship hotel
last evening, Chairman David Evans
after briefly outlining what would be
expected in the way of entertainment
on May when the fraternity as
sembled in grand conclave in Los An
geles will adjoin to accept the hospi-
tality of the local lodge, appointed the
following committees: Arrangements
Col. II. NJ. Wager, w. r. Wheat, w.
E. Oliver, o. G. Tullis, John I. Dales
Frank Baker, M. r. King, C. e. Love-
lace, Ives E. Cobb and Dana Burks.
Committee for preparing float, Mrs. e.
j. Vawter, Robert Armstrong, DIR.
Stanwood, Y. Kushibiki, Walter Gard
ner and Frank Peltret. 1t is estimated
! that not less than 10000 visitors will
be entertained here and at Venice on
the date set.
Everybody Skates-Even Father
Converted into roller skating rink,
the Venice auditorium was thrown
open tonight and judging from the
large crowd present is at last in a fair
way to fill the sphere intended for it.
At o'clock every one of the 500 pairs
of skates which the management had
provided were in use and hundreds of
| spectators were present.
| Miss Maud A. Dice and Frank Il.
Powers were married by the Rev. F. G.,
H. Stevens at the First M. T.. church
last evening. Following the ceremony
the couple left on an eastern trip and
will be away about one month.
Under the direction of p. B. de Rossi
| Italian commissioner to the United
States, a relief benefit for sufferers by
reason of the Mt. Vesuvius eruption
will be held at Venice on Saturday
evening.
From Pittsburg comes an order to j
j. Colt, designer and builder of the
Venice miniature locomotives, to con-
struct an engine on similar lines TO De
used for amusement purposes in that
city. The models in daily operation
here are said to be the most perfect
and durable, size and weight consid-
cred, of any in existence.
A fire in the apartments of Robert
Myers at 81 Park Place caused the vol
unteers to turn out at an early hour
this morning. The blaze which die
damage to the extent of $50 was quick

WHERE is PUBLISHER CoNBoY
Amusement Guide Mans Disappear
ance Alarms His Friends, Who
Are Searching Hospitals

Where is Norman p. Conboy, erst-
while publisher of the Los Angeles
Amusement Guide?
Friends are asking the question be-
cause the journal has missed issues be-
cause of the publishers absence.
Conboy came here some five weeks
ago and became conspicuous in hotels,
theaters and cafes.
L. f. Behymer, in whose Office Con-
boy had desk room, said Conboy had
been associated with Abbot Kinney S
Saturday Evening Post and he en-
couraged him, but he had chided Con-
boy recently and the latter left the
office without telling his plans.
1t is possible that the young man is
sick in some hospital and friends are
following this line of inquiry.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Gen. Juan
Pedro Jlminez former president of
Santa Domingo, was the defendant in a
suit heard yesterday in the supreme
court. Joseph L. Cunningham is the
plaintiff. He seeks to recover 900
for services rendered in the equipping
of the Fanita filibustering expedition,
which left Mobile, Ala, May a. 1897,
for Monte Christi.
The nature of the services rendered
does not appear in, Cunningham's COM
plant, but he declares the sum de-
manded was reduced from $65,000. Gen.
Jminez, he said, gave him three
months note for the $4,000 and 5000 in
cash for expenses. The note pasuad to
the Colonial Trust company, where it
is now in sealed envelope. Cunning

Money Was to Help Gomez

Did you inform the United States
government what the real purpose for
which these arms were to be used?"
II told the government officials they
were to be used to help Gomez"
After further testimony Justice Fitz-
gerald dismissed the complaint on the
ground that one of the conditions of
the note by which it was alleged that
Jiminez agreed to pay $250OO was that
payment was conditional upon a regu-
lar government being established in
Santo Domingo by the revolutionary
party within two months. and that no
proof had been presented to establish
that fact.

at no time been in doubt. But they
must carry it by larger majority
than fOreshadowed by Names vote
for congress on Monday In Oregon
in June, 1906, where the first members
of the congress of 1907-09 were chos-
en-, the republicans carried the dis
tricts by their average big majorities.
In Vermont last week the republican
congressman were reelected by a long
lead. In Maine, however, there has
been some falling off from the recent
average in the votes for congress. The
net result of the congressional vote
in these three states. which are the
only states that choose congressman
prior to November, shows that the re-
publican star is still in the ascendant.
But the republicans must win a big
ger majority in congress than the
Maine vote would indicate as prob
ability. Nobody supposed that the ia
republican majority in the present
house could be maintained. That pre-
ponderance was abnormal and top
heavy. 1t was bound TO be cut down
somewhat under the best possible con-
ditions for the party But the party
must beware lest it be cut to a figure
which would endanger the success of
the reform measures which must ne
ceSsarily be postponed to the congress
which is to be elected this year.
Democrats voted for most of the big
measures which went through con-
gress in the recent session. They did
not dare oppose them. Some demo
cratic support may be expected for
some of the republican bills which will
go through congress in the short SEES
sion in the coming winter, and for the
same reason. But democratic sup
port for republican measures. however
wise and urgent the measures may be,
can not be counted on with any con-
fidence much longer. Bryan has
pointed out to his party the dangers
of losing it's identity through follow
ing republican leadership. Hereafter.
until the end of the campaign of 1908,
the democrats viii try to preserve
their organization by fighting repub
Iican measures. a republican major
ity must be chosen for the coming
congress large enough TO give the par
ty an easy and complete supremacy
for the second half of Rosoevelt's
term.
THE republican slump in the vote in
Maine this week. like the republican
reverse in the same state 20 years ago,
is a bugle call to arms, which the par
ty must obey if it desires to maintain
its supremacy in the national govern
ment''

Do Away With
Food Adulieraiion
The People Have a Right to Know
What Thew Are Eating.

Too great attention cannot be given
to the food we eat. The health of our
families depends on this food. Are we
to submit to the atrocities of the food
adulterators? No. We must have laws
to protect us and those laws must be
enforced.
1t is of interest to note that there is
at least one article of food about which
we can know everything. This is
Malta Vita, popularity called THE Per
feet Food, the pure, all-grain prod
uct, in which every element of food
necessary to the proper nutrition Of
the human body is found.
In the manufacture of Malta-Vita
the whole of the wheat is thoroughly
cleaned, cooked in the purity of abso-
lutte cleanliness and then mixed with
the finest malt extract, made from spe-
cially selected barley. The cooking and
steaming of the wheat gelatinizes the
starch, and the malt extract, Il power
full digestive agent, converts this starch
into Maltese, or malt sugar, in which
Malta-Vita is very rich. Maltese is of
great food value, sweetenS the wheat
sufficiently to make unnecessary the
use of any foreign sweetening agent and
the weakest stomach digeStS and aSSim-
Hates it without effort Rolled into
wafer-like flakes and baked under in
tense heat, Malta-Vita comes from the
ovens crisp and brown, positively the
most delicious food in the world. All

The Source of Lawiessness

The refusal of James J. Hill as pres
| ident of the Great Northern railroad
to accept service of a regularly issued
subpoena to appear before the Mime
sofa state railroad commission throws
a sidelight on the source of lawless-
ness and law defiance too prevalent
among railroad men from the highest
to the lowest Mr.. Hills answer to
the summons is said TO have been: 81
can't attend that meeting. | have too
much business on hand. | don't think
l will be in the city at that time any
way" If a similar subpoena were
served upon an ordinary citizen in an
every day case at law and elected the
same response the witness would be
speedily brought To- time with a bench
warrant and held in custody or put un-
der bonds to appear at the specified
time and place
The attitude of Mr.. Hill, however,
seems to be the attitude assumed by
his subOrdinates on all of his railroads.
The ignoring of court orders and the
defiance of constituted authority is by
no means extraordinary where a street
is to be stolen in the heart of a busy
city, a legislature corrupted or a tax
assessor bribed. In our own state
James Hills Burlington road is con-
stantly setting a most pernicious eX-
ample in it's refusal to pay its taxes
like other people and its appeal 10 the
courts to prevent their collection in or
der to embarrasS and harass the peo-
pie into compromising just claims.
Not content with practically debating
its own assessments by the manipula-
ton of assessing officers, Jim Hills
road refuses 10 recognize the assess
ment so made as binding and sets it
self up above the law by which all
other taxpayers are governed.
is it any wonder that the people of
Nebraska, goaded by such acts OF law
defiance, are determined to throw off
completely every vestige Of railroad
domination of their government? Is
1t any wonder that they are resolved
that the railroads shall be brought
within the law and that taxes upon
railroad property shall be levied and |
collected in the same manner as taxes |
upon other property? The folly of |
President Hill in refusing to accept |
subpoena in Minnesota is no greater |
than the folly of his underlings in re- |
fusing to pay the taxes on his Burling |
ton railroad in Nebraska.

When it was found last year how
certain New York financiers had been
in the habit, as brokers, of selling
securities to life insurance companies
through themselves as directors, it was
supposed that the climax of the bust

may not be exceeded, but it is certain
ly equaled in the case OF two Philadel-

premacy was maintained by the cleo

But the republican majorities were
smaller in this weeks elections than
they were previously in many years
And here is the warning for the Tepub-
licans in the country at large. When
the fusion of democrats and green
hackers carried Maine for governor in
September. 1880, the republicans saw
that the current throughout the coun-
try was against the national ticket of
Garfield and Arthur. Garfield was dis
liked by Grant and COnkling, and they
remained out of the canvass in the
speech making which had been done
along to September Campaign work
Jagged In New York and New Eng
land there was lack of heart in the
republican campaign. But when
Maine swung over to the democrats
and their allies on the state ticket in
September the republicans were
aroused from their lethargy. Grant
and Conkling were brought into the
canvass. they made several addresses
in the states of the middle west. and

Rev. Mr.. Rath in his public addresses
and interviews has repeatedly spoken
of the existence of saloons in the Pa
lama district which have only a bottle
license. Under the law no bottle IL
censes may be issued in the District
of Honolulu. The Treasury Depart
ment says that none have. Mr.. Rath
must therefore be mistaken in his re-
peated statements about saloons hav-
ing only bottle licenses. Errors In
this respect have tendency to des-
troy confidence in other statements he
makes about the district in which he
is undoubtedly striving to do much
needed work.
