about it, telling stories and smoking
their pipes.
Music was rendered during the early
part of the evening by the fife and
drum corps. >
Every one Is having a good time.
The soldiers prefer life in the tents, and
the demand exceeds the supply. The
overflow was taken care of downtown,
but the camp proves the greater attrac-
ton, and it is crowded with soldiers
and their friends.
Commander C. P. Wilson of the
Southern California Veterans associa-
ton has proved himself to be the right
man in the right place, and under his
direction. everything has gone along
smoothly
While many of the vets stroll off
by themselves to enjoy fishing, others
remain in camp, recounting stories of
war days and waiting around" for the
bugle call to meals.
The salt air and life in the open give
one a tremendous appetite, and every
body seems hungry, in spite of the
bountiful supply of edibles

The best act of the circus which per-

select crowd of villagers who waited
until after the show to see the tents
come down. The elephant man was
guiding his cavalcade Of seven pachy-
derms down the main street to the

men drove past and began to taunt
him and call him names. The elephant
Keeper kept his temper as long as he
could and then laid open the scalp of
one Of his tormenters with his good
stick.
The countrymen called for the police
and Officer Frank Brooks arrived.
The driver of the elephants was ready
for him. He said in an undertone to
his animals, Tails"
The big creatures quickly closed
around him In a circle which could
not be easily penetrated Then to the
biggest elephant the driver said, Look
out for that man." and the anger of
the elephant being kindled he charged
on the officer who was onl- too glad
to take to his heels. The mischevious
driver let the animal pursue the flee
ing officer to the great amusement Of
the crowd until he saw that the mans
breath began to fail him, then he
called a halt and the cavalcade pro-
ceeded to the station.

JURY DIsAGREEs
IN CRUELTY CASE

FAILS TO CONVICT
One Employs Pleads Guilty to Cruelty
and Awaits Fine, but Employer
Demands Jury and Fights Case
With Unexpected Result
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASA DENA, Sept. 5.-After being
out three hours a jury in the cruelty
case against Frank s. Herr informed
Justice Klamroth at $3.50 o'clock to-
night that they we're unable to agree
on verdict.
The jury was then dismissed and the
case will either go to another trial or
be dismissed. It Is stated that a poll
Of the jury showed ten for acduittal
and two for conviction.
The trial today was hotly fought
and was In many ways one of the most
sensational Justice court cases held
In this city in months.
Herr is the proprietor of the Los
Angeles Pa sadena express with offices
in both cities and was accused Of in
juring a young horse so severely by
dragging It at the tail of a hay wagon
and by beating and kicking It, that II
had to be shot to put It out Of It's
misery.
One of Herr's employees who was with
him at the time entered plea of
guilty and threw himself upon the
mercy of the court. Another employe
awaits trial on the same charge.
At the trial today Herr was defend
ed by Attorneys G. M. Simpson and
Elmer 1. Moody, Judge ]. G. Rossiter
conducting the prosecution Tor the
Pasadena Humane society, and score
OF witnesses were examined.
Every attempt possible was made to
discredit the evidence thus obtained.
Charles Cohn, for instance, admitted
that he had It in for Herr because of
an overcharge in bringing a trunk to
Pasadena from Los Angeles.
Many employees of the Brand Manu-
featuring company, near which the
horse fell to the ground and was shot,
testified to the treatment given the
animal.
The disagreement of the jury was
quite a surprise to all concerned, de-
fense as we'll as prosecution.
This is the third case lost by the HUI
name society within q week. and is
a new and somewhat calling expert

ally won it's cases without much diff

ALLOW SANTA MONICA

Only Recourse Left Apparently Is to

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Sept. 5.-Members OF
the board of trustees In session last
night. after listening to forceful ad-
dress from Albert Kinney, passed a
resolution to allow Santa Monica ten
DAYS to make other arrangements than
using Ocean Parks septic tank, fall
ing in which her sewage will be cut
off
The action of the board while a boon
for the north side of the city, where
the septic tank is located, but cannot
help but work terrible calamity on
the other end as the only recourse lett
to Santa Monica at this time is to
use the oufall pipes at Pier avenue.
which means that the sewage VIII be
dumped directly in front of the new
$4,000 auditorium and within block
of the most popular bathing center
along the bay.
The inability of the septic tank here
to treat the sewage of both cities
has long been the cause of complaint
by residents in its locality, who assert
that the stencil has become unbearable
and that the health of the community
is menaced.
Mayor Dana Burk, after voting,
took occasion to make a lengthy state-
ment concerning the situation. He
closed his remarks by saying that he
wanted the attitude of the board
clearly understood, as the action taken
was in response to the demand of
petitioners. He believed that the move
would work a considerably greater
hardship on a much larger number of
people than under the present arrange
ment.
