VENICE, Oct. 2S.-A violent wind
storm, accompanied by rain, swept
over this section last night, causing
damage to the roof of the Zephyr
apartment house and blowing over the
siXty-foot diving tower in the lagoon.
For several hours the wind sbriel1ed,
houses creaked and sleep was impos-
sible. Considerable minor damage wa
done.
While Marshal of Police Louis Her
zog is enjoying a vacation at Elsnore,
e. e. Watt is filling the position. Mr..
Watt is named as a likely successor to
the present incumbent whose resigna-
tion is in the hands of the city coun-
Gil Friends of C. Cannon, an under
deputy, whose work recently has
brought forth favorable notice, may
take steps to bring his name before
the board as the right man for the
place.
Post cards containing good like
ness of B. Quinn and telling the fact
that he was driven out of Venice after
having been convicted of an unspeak-
able crime, have been prepared and
will be sent where it is thought Quinn
is known or may take up his future
residence. Facts have come to light
to show that during the five months
the man was employed here he
did not limit the number of his
victims. 1t is said he was allowed to
depart because of the assumption that
publicity of his acts would be bad
from the town."
In reply to a recent statement by
City Trustee Force Parker that he
Will oppose the petition of the Venice
Concessions company for permit to

of inflammable materials to be burned
on Halloween, c. N. Gary, manager
OF the Midway, has come forth with
proposition to have the scene of the
fire on the cricket grounds where any
danger of the fire spreading is thought
to be impossible. 1t is the intention
of the Midway promoters to construct
building of tinder twenty stories In
height to be burned as a finale to the
evenings celebration.
John j. Colt, lessee and stakeholder
of the miniature railroad, who on

he won't return the articles until the

STORY BUILDING
PYR0TECHNICS PLANNED FOR
VENICE
Structure Arrears Solid from outside,
but Interior Is Filled With Highly
InHammabIe Materials and
Fireworks

Grown up boys, who in their younger
days used to crowd around the Hal
loween fire on some dark hillside or
in a deserted hollow, will enjoy the
mammoth bonfire being arranged at
Venice for Tuesday night. 1t is scarce
| ly an exaggeration to say that the fire
at the beach resort will be as large
as all the Halloween fires they have
ever seen, grouped in one.
c. NJ Gary is constructing on the
lagoon a great twenty-story building
resembling a modern skyscraper. But
while the outside resembles a large
office building, the building will not be
fire proof Within thousands of bar
rels of inflammable material, such as
pitch tar, rosin, OIL etc. will be piled
tier on tier. From foundation to roof
the building will be literally sprinkled
with detonating and fancy display
fireworks.
At a signal an electric spark will
light the material at the top of the
building and the immense structure
will flash into flames. AS the flames
progress the different bombs, rockets
and other pyrotechnics concealed
throughout the building will ignite and
from all sides of the building bright
streams of fire will proceed and flaming
rockets light up the skies.
At a given signal electric communi-
cations will be made with a sparkling
arrangement at the top of the build
ing, then instantaneously the immense
structure will burst into a mass of
flames Wreaths and tongues of flame
and smoke will leap toward the zenith
and the fire king for once will hold
undisputed sway. AS the fire pro-
gressss there will be heard the bursting
of big detonating bombs and the
screech of rockets.
A pyrotechnic display of such mag
nitude, with so many original and
startling features, has never before
been attempted on the Pacific coast.
1t bids fair to eclipse anything in the
nature of an attraction ever seen on
the coast.
TO dllay any possible uneasiness of
those who may find objection to the
proposed display fearing the risk of
real conflasraton, it may be posi-
.tivelv stated that every precautionary
measure will be employed to safe
guard adjacent property. In addition
10 the reg ular fire department of the
beach cities, who will be on the ground
with all their apparatus ready to use
at mome1t's notice, a large force of
watchers will be employed, consequent
ly no fear may be apprehended on
that score.

HUNDREDS HEAR
ROBERT {. SPEER
FAMOUS ORATOR MAKES PLEA
FOR MISSIONARIES
Claims That Church Work In Foreign
Fields Is Little Understood, or
Il Would Receive More
Assistance
Pasadena Agency,
1874 East Colorado street.
Telephone Main 752.


PASADENA, oct. 2S.-One of the
largest audiences which ever crowded
the large First Presbyterian church
assembled tonight to hear Robert E.
Speer speak. Mr.. Speer is secretary of
the board Of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church and his talk was
naturally devoted to the work of his
chosen evangelical field.
Assistant Pastor T. Cummings
Beattie of the First church presided
at the meeting and briefly introduced
Mr. Speer as one of the foremost men
of the church world. Rev. Beattie said
that IL was with the greatest pleasure
that he introduced the speaker of the
evening, not as man who had
charmed assemblages in all parts of
the country with his eloquence, but
as a man who is one of the foremost
workers in the cause Of Christianity
living.
Mr.. speer plunged at once into the
heart of his subject. He started off
by explaining that there are some
things In the world which thrive in
the darkness and Others which grow in
the light, the missionary work of the
church living and prospering only when
thoroughly understood and investi-
gated by the Christian men and wo-
men of the world. ANY honest man
or woman, and there is not nearly
so much honesty IN the world as there
should be-" said Mr. Speer, "who in
vestigates the missionary work in the
field abroad must agree that great
good is being DONE"
He then went on to tell how people
would go abroad and return with un-
favorable reports of missionary en-
deavor when as a matter of fact, there
had been no real investigation at all.
This he termed as one of the greatest
difficulties which the missionary work.
ers have to contend against.
He said that the newspapers often
said that the work in the foreign fields
is not directed in the right channels
simply because it causes troubles.
Such troubles, said the speaker, were
necessary, and while he did not advo-
cate interference in politics. he prac-
tically said that the missionaries must
take interest in many things outside
of their church work in order to ac-
complish their ends.
Mr.. Speer told of the work of the
missionaries in foreign countries and
as an illustra ton cited Japan, where
there is church with a membership
of 100000. This membership, he said,
could never reach and evangelize the
great mass of population nearly forty
millions, without assistance from out
side. He said that thirty-hve millions
of the Japanese are little better off
than their brothers of China so far as
religion and civilization is concerned.

BALL MANAGER RESIGNS,
SAYING TOO MANY KICKS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, - Oct. %. Manager
Harry Myers resigned his post as man
ager of the Pasadena baseball team
this afternoon at a meeting of the
directors of the organization and at the
same time he made a full financial re-
port of his management. This report
shows that all the bills of the organ
ization are paid and that there is now
left $40 in the treasury of the club.
Mr.. Myers resignation was accepted
and now Mr.. Dickinson is alone as
business director of the affairs of the
local organization. Myers remains as
secretary of the club, however.
There is something back of the resig-
nation besides the press of business
and Myers clearly showed that this
report is true when he said he said this
afternoon that he has done the best he
could for the organization and thought
it hard that he should have put in so
much work and at the same time had
to listen to a lot of kicks and COM
plants against his methods. Just
what brought about the resignation
none of the members of the club will
say.

WOMEN PROMOTE
PACIFIC BOULEVARD
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH, Oct. 2S.-At meet
ing of the Civic League of Signal HILL
held at the residence of Mrs. Elmo
Meserve yesterday the principal theme
of discussion was the project recently
advanced by a Los Angeles woman to
establish a flower-lined boulevard be-
tween the City of the Angels and some
seaside city. The local clubwomen de-
sire the Pacific boulevard, which is
to be made between Long Beach and
Los Angeles, to be beautified in this
fashion. Ideas concerning the plant
ing of trees and shrubbery along the
boulevard were presented, one being
that there should be a uniformity in
the trees planted, in imitation of River
sides Magnolia drive.
The matter will be taken up with the
Los Angeles women interested in the
project.
