Special to The Herald
VENICE, Sept 3O.-What signif-
cance, if any. is there in the almost
daily visits to this resort during the
past few weeks of Los Angeles bankers
and men of large affairs who, as the
guests of the Los Angeles-Pacific rail-
way, come and go In the company's
private car Mermaid and while here are
wined and dined and shown about by
the railway officials?
What meaning is there in the fact
that Passenger Agent Short of the Los
Angeles-Pacific Is vice president of the
new Venice Concessions company, that
is said to have in view the transform
ing of the entire amusement character
Of the Midway?
These and other questions are agi-
tating the residents and merchants of
this section and are the topic of con-
versation on the streets and in every
household.
The general impression prevails that
Abbot Kinney has recently come to
some sort of an understanding with the
railway officials concerning the build
ing Of a hotel on the ocean front al
Windward avenue, for which a cement
foundation was laid over a year ago,
and that the project will soon be rea-
lized.
Why the Rumors?
The frequent pointing out of the site
by Mr.. Kinney and the railway officials
to the visiting capitalists is probably
responsible for the rumor.
However, to all inquiries as TO
whether he has shifted any of his hold
ings here to the railway company or Il
the company has In view the investing
Of any considerable amount of capital
In Venice enterprises. Mr.. Kinney has
little and nothing definite to say.
He some months ago shut down on
interviews In general He has frequently
stated that he will notify the press
when he sells out and the case ends
there 50 far as he Is concerned.
When the usual afternoon visitation
Of the railway officials and their guests
was over yesterday and the party was
returning to the railway station a Her
aid representative approached General
Sherman concerning the significance OF

memorial. Day.

AS usual on holidays the pris-
oners of this institution were
granted the freedom Of the park
and permitted to enjoy themselves
as they chose on Memorial Day.
The gong sounded at fifteen min
utes to. nine, and the men were
marched to the park where they
were allowed to stay until noon.
While in the park, music was
the principal feature of the day.
This was furnished by our local
band and the Warden's son, Mr..
Frank Wolfer, who operated a
photograph. Some of the men
played catch with a baseball and
others ran foot races. The local
acrobat also made a few turns on
the platform erected for the band.
The day was an ideal one and
much enjoyed by all. When the
signal was given to fall in, the men
obeyed promptly, and while in
line before marching to the din
ingrooms, everybody uncovered as
the band played the national
anthem. The men spent the rest
of the day locked in their cells,
each prisoner being given per-
mission to write an extra letter.

Day by day their ranks are thinning, one by one
they disappear.
And each succeeding roll call, fewer voices
answer: "Herei"
Still their regiments are marching-many
march with noiseless tread.
And no bugles sound assembly" in the bivouac
of the dead,
Hats are reverently lifted to the heroes lying
here;
Lift them to the living heroes-hail them all
with cheer on cheer.
Not for long will they be with us; soon each
regiment will be
Tented here beneath the blossoms of the land it
helped to free.
But today the drums are muffled and the flag at
half mast waves,
Keeping green dead heroes memories as the
grass above their graves.
Still another weary winter shrouded in the snow
they lay;
Now we bring them crowns and garlands of the
loveliest blooms of May.
Let them rest in hOnored slumber, while their
praise, from shore to shore,
Eighty million rhroats are swelling-we are

The Pierian Circle held it's reg
ular meeting IN the chapel last
Sunday. After the admission of
two new members and the trans
action of other routine business
the circle finally "got together
and unanimously passed the re-
vjsed bylaws under unanimous
vote to suspend the rules for that
purpose. A slight change and
some "electioneering" on the part
of the president seemed to have
wrought the change of heart. The
new rules governing the circle are
well calculated to prevent many
of the evils heretofore arising and
to place the circle more than ever
in line with the furtherance Of the
principles and work for which it
stands.
Having thus redeemed itself the
circle made further advance by
program that was well up to the
standard, diversified, interesting
