TALKING OF CHANGES
IN VENICE POLICY
RATES OF FARE ON TROLLEY TO
BE REDUCED
Talk That 5reakwater May Be Ex-
tended-Work on Big Hotel to Be
Rushed-Improvemcnts at the
Midway

Special to The Herald
VENICE, Sept. 26.-Once again the
air is full of rumors concerning
changes, supposed to be pending, af-
fectng the ownership and general
amusement character of this resort.
One story that is receiving much
credence locally is to the effect that
Mr.. Kinney with outside capitalists
will furnish funds to build an addition
to the breakwater, making 1t service
able as a harbor for deep sea vessels to
load or unload at.
1t is said that plans for this improve
ment are well under way and that the
work will be given out under contract
during the coming winter
Another report that is being taken
seriously is that the Los Angeles-Pa-
cifc will reduce the round trip rate to
all Santa Monica points and that the
change will go into effect within thirty
days.
The presence here today of several
railway officials who, accompanied by
Mr.. Kinney, looked over the site of the
proposed 100000 hotel, for which a
foundation was laid more than a year
ago, is also supposed to have local
significance.
The recent taking over of the inter-
ests in the Midway from the Akoun
Concessions company by c. N. Gary
and associates has not to date signal
lied any noticeable improvement or
change in the policy that was inaugu-
rated and lived up to under the for
mer ownership.

WOMAN WINS
DIAMOND CASE
SPICY TESTIMONY LEADS TO
SUDDEN TERMINATION
Defendant Says Briggs Mother-in-

tery-Marriage by Female
Dunkard
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 26.-The examina-
tion of Mrs. Emma Howard-Stokes,
charged with the embezzlement of a
quantity of diamonds and other jewel
ry from Henry Briggs of 100 Center
street, came to a sudden termination
at late hour this afternoon, when
Deputy District Attorney e. j. Flem-
ing moved that the case against the
woman be dismissed.
The examination today was one of
the spiciest episodes in the history of
court proceedings in Pasadena.
During the course of the examina-
tion, which lasted nearly all day, there
was warm passage at arms between
Fleming and Attorney Allender for
the defense, the lie direct was ex-
changed a couple of times and one man
confessed to having lived with the de-
fendant for four years after mar
riage ceremony which he later found
was of no force.
That really freed Mrs. Howard Stokes
and was her reasonable explanation OF
the way in which she happened to
have the gems in her posS esSion.
She charged that Briggs mother-n-
law, Mrs. Mary Il. Lanterman of Ohio,
had advanced money by means of a
draft given to her for the funeral of
Briggs wife.
She charged that before Mrs. Lanter-
man did this she made Briggs give the
jewels into her (Mrs. Howard Stokes
possession as security that he would
return the money. This money, $3.50
was to be paid Mrs. Howard-Stokes
who in turn was to make the cas-,
right with Mrs. ,Lanterman.
Mrs. Howard-Stokes also proved
that, while Briggs did not know sh,
had gone to a small place near Stock
ton, Mrs. Lanterman did.
1t looked to the court very mucf
like a variation of the standard
mother -in-law joke and the case was
dismissed accordingly.
While on the stand S. ]. Stokes ad-
mitted that he and Mrs. Howard.
Stokes had been married by a woman
of Dunkard faith and that the mar
riage had never been recorded. He
stated that they had lived together for
years before they discovered that they
we're not married.

Mr.. Harbach's research has led nm
to the discovery, however, of what viii
not do. He has found that sulphur,
which was recommended as a sovereign
remedy, has the same effect on flea
as an ice cream sundae on summer
girl. Insect powder, said to be infal-
lible, simply adds pugnacity to the
flea, until he could rout Cans or Mel

paris green has none but a fattening
effect.
Meanwhile the members of the Coun-
try club will await the results of Sec
retady Harbachs experiments. Even II
they succeed the remedy Will be almost
as bad as the disease. But If 1t is to be
a case of scratch or hold the nose the
latter is preferred. Toilet water can
be purchased while flea dope Is
scarce.
The invasion has aroused the sport
ing blood of the club members, some OF

gators as would make a customs in
