AT ITS YELLOW TRICKS

That pestiferous nuisance the Hearst
Yellow, is at it's old tricks again, try
ing to tear down and injure the city
that is compelled to house it. Like
that vile bird, once more it befouls it's
own nest, and tries in every possible
way to hurt and harm this city. AS in
the owens river project, it is 'agin
IT." not because of any lack of merit
in the greater Los Angeles plans, but
from the pure cussedness of the
wretched sheet.
The latest yelp from the Yellow came
yesterday, when in a lengthy broad
side it attacked the consolidation plan.
That it has held off so long from doing
this is the only surprise; every one
long ago. This yawp was merely a
realization of what all knew was to
come.
Of course. the whole argument, posi-
ton and statement of the Yellow are
untrue. That also was to be expected.
And that they will do the slightest
harm, no one believes for a moment.
With the memory of it's nasty course
in the owens river plan. it would be
impossible to conceive of a more thor
ough chastising than was ADMINISTERED
to it. The SAT followers of the Yellow
its total circula ton thus established
were only so many poor deluded adj
herents of discredited and repudiated
sheet, the personal organ of a man
who represents nothing good in any
party or community.
But the howls of a hyena at night
disturb decent people, and therefore
ought to be squelched for the peace
and dignity of the place.
Will it be necessary again, as 1t
proved in the Owens river matter, for
a delegation of business men to call
on the Yellow and muzzle it by threats
Of withdrawal from its columns? This
method proved effective then. Perhaps
a similar course at the present time
will again whip the Hearst outfit into a
knowledge of the duty it owes to the
city which homes it and gives it sus
tenance.

cAsrELLANEs AND sYMPATHY

The Castellane divorce row, with the
almost certain loss by Bonl Of his meal
ticket and by his wife Of her title.
points merely to an old and obvious
moral that win be repeated in the fu-
ture as often as it has been in the
past.
An American girl, who inherited tre-
mendous wealth, the product of un-
moral business dealings, gave herself
knowingly and openly for an empty
title to an impecunious scion of an old
and degenerate French family, who had
pawned his future success to wine
agent who "staked' him in the con-
test He sought only hard cash with
out working for It as an honest man
should She craved only the pomp and
position the title supposedly brought.
The bargain was struck wholly on this
basis; there was about the marriage
no hint OF love or devotion; the sacred
ness hedging about a true wedding
was notable only fo~ its absence.
The inevitable happened The man,
uUTeSlTdllleu ny any lONe lol MS WIFE,
played ducks and brakes with his
vows. His wife, knowing all this, still
was forced to bear her disgrace i'm ST.
lence or give up the bauble she had
bought. Thus the pronigate spendthrift
and the foolish woman who welded
him, were virtually in the same cate
CORY and neither deserves sympthy
from anyone. They have merely
reaped what they sowed.
IT, however, any regret does hang
over this scandal, it must rest upon
the two children of the household.
What an heritage is theirs! A rake
for a father, a scandalous life and
worse divorce for the remembrances of
their childhood days-with these two
innocents sympathy may indeed be
expressed, and most justly and
worthily

DRIVES INTO
MOVING CAR
GLARE OF LIGHT BLINDS THE
VICTIM
Doctor on Santa Monica Coach Jumps
of and Aids Injured Man, Who
Is Found Between the
Tracks

In q collision between an outbound
Santa Monica car on the private right
of-way near Sixteenth and Normandie
streets at 1910 o'clock this morning, a
man supposed to be e. Passmore of
1924 Bonnie Brae street was fatally
injured.
From all appearances Passmore must
have been blinded by the light of the
car.
The horse that Passmore was driving
was "stove in," as though pinched in
q wise. The carriage in which he was
driving was broken into splnters.
Lying unconscious between the
tracks, where he fell, the man was al
lowed to remain for nearly a half
hour before being removed TO the city.
An inbound electric car on which was
q physician pulled up near the accident
and found a blockade. The doctor
leaped from the car and rushed to the
dying mans side. At his order the in
iured man was removed to the receiV-
ing hospital.
Police Surgeons Quint and Bonynge
attended the injured man. They found
upon examination that he had suS'
tanned compound fracture of the left
arm, a fracture of the nose, a frac-
ture of the skull and that the lower
jaw was literally pulverized. Passmore
also sustained numerous cuts and
wounds on the face.
Witnesses that visited the scene soon
after the accident say that Passmore
had evidently been driving toward Los
Angeles on Sixteenth street. At the
iuncture where the street suddenly
terminates it is evident hat the man
drove straight ahead on the right-of-
way of the railway.
1t is believed that the brilliant head
light blinded the man and so confused
him that he was unable to decide the
exact location of the car and drove di-
rectlY into it,

BELASCO WINS;
PRINCESS PLAYS
M0R0SC0'S APPLICATION TO
ENJ0IN DENIED
Latter Now Threatens to Bring Suit
for Damages in Theater Con-
troVersy Over Mrs.
Burnett's Dream

Manager Oliver Morosco's request for
an Injunction to prevent the perform
ance of THE Little Princess" at the
Belasco theater was denied yesterday
by Judge Wellborn.
Mr.. Morosco claims that he had the
only right to the Los Angeles produc-
ton of this piece granted him by the
authors representative, Mrs. II. c. De-
Mile of New York.
The Belasco people, through their
attorneys, Frank G. Finlayson and
Oscar Trippett, submitted affidaVits
showing that they had secured rights
to produce the play from Alice Kauser,
another New York play agent.
Miss Kauser's offer named 1928 a
week for San Francisco and 5000 a
week for Los Angeles.
These terms We're accepted by the
Belasco company and the manuscript
for the play sent The Belasco lawyers
contended that their clients were pro-
ceeding in good faith and that the
granting of such an injunction would
mean loss to them of between five
and six thousand dollars.
Judge Wellborn replied that he was
convinced that both parties were acting
III good faith and that it was a case
of comparative damages He denied
the injunction therefore without
prejudice"
Manager Morosco said that he would
soon begin suit to recover damages
and that his application for an injunc-
ton was to protect him in future ac-
ton. He maintains that his contracr
with Mrs. DeMille is the only rightful
one and that it will be proven in courts
that the Belasco performance this week
is being done without proper legal
authority.
The performance of 1.-THE Little Prin-
cess opened, at the Belasco last even
ing and will run through the week.

You can't love two women at once

Where He Met Him
The OLD CANOE

Where the rocks are gray and the shore
is steep,
And the waters below look dark and
Where the rugged pine, in it's lovely
pride
Leans gloomily over the murlSy tide,
Where the weeds and rushes are long
and rank
And the reeds grow thick on the wind
ing bank:
Where the shadow is heavy the whole
day through,
There lies at its mornings the old
canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea birds wings that the storm
has Topped.
And crossed ON the railing one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work is
While busiiy back and forth between
The spider watches his silver screen,
And the solemn owl with his dull too
Settles down on the side of the old
canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave
RIOTS slowly away in its living grave.
And the green moss creeps Ger its dull
Hiding its moldering dust away.
Like the hand that plants Ger the tomb
Or the ivy that nantes the falling
While many a blossom of loveliest hue.
Springs up DER the stern OF the old
canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and
still,
But the light winds play with the boat
at will
And lazily in and out again
Ii floats the length OF a rusty chain,
Like the weary march OF the hands of
time
THAT meet and part at the MONDAY
chime;
And the shore is kissed at each turn
ing anew
by dripping bow Of the old canoe.
