AN OWL CAR CASE

No stronger argument for owl cars
was ever afforded in Los Angeles than
the Rernhardt engagement at Venice
contained last night. Those who went
from here to the seashore had compare
lively little trouble with the transit
facilities going down, because they
strung along as suited their conven-
ience. Nor was the trip back to the
city onerous, under the circumstances
There were cars in waiting when the
play was over; while there was some
congestion, that was inevitable, and
was expected. AS we'll as could have
been asked, the people were returned
to the city and few complaints ensued.
But the trouble came, even what
little there was at Venice, from the lack
of cars after the city was reached
even from the knowledge that this
lack existed. All during the later hours
of the play there was noticeable rest
lessness that was most annoying,
though polite and suppressed to a
marked degree. People were apprehen-
sive; they knew it was growing late;
that before them was a trip of at
least forty-ive minutes, or possibly
from the shore at 11:15 p. m., or con-
siderable risk that they would walk
home when they reached Los Angeles
To not few this fear became so
sv,fxy ,, M
left before the final curtain. This dis
turbed those who remained, broke in
on the climax, worried the players and
demoralized the spirit of the night.v Yet
at that many reached the, city too late
and plodded to their domiciles, or hired
rigs.
In another way, too, the absence Of
owl cars was unfortunate. Those who
went down to Venice early did so at
the expense Of a light and hurried din
ner. They hoped to stop at cafe,
either there or here, for a supper after
ward. The lack of late transportation
made this impossible, and the grumbing
and disappointment that ensued were
very bitter. Hundreds went home hun
CRY late last night to eat a "cold
snack or go to bed without it, when a
1;30 o'clock car would have enabled
them to enjoy the drama to the full,
return to the city without crowding,
partake Of their suppers and go home
leisurely, decently and in good humor.
BY all means, therefore, since we are
metropolitan enough to have the
greatest artiste in the world come to
perform for us and to turn out splen-
didly to greet her, let us be citified
enough to afford adequate means of
going home in our own season there
after. Can we not prevail upon the
powers that be to put Los Angeles in
the "city" class?

HOLIDAYS MAY SOON CEASE
Expected That Governor Pardee Will
Make Such an Announcement
About June
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, May 1S.-Although
nothing definite is known as to the
date on which Governor Pardee will
discontinue the string of legal holidays,
which he has instituted to assure a
resumption OF business in San Fran
cisco with no danger of panic, it is
presumed here that they will be discon-
tinued about the 81 or 4th of June.
1t is known that the governor has
stated that he would discontinue the
holidays as soon as the banks in San
Francisco were ready to resume busi-
ness and that he would give at least
five days notice before calling them
off. AS 1t is announced that all the
banks will be ready for business abou,
the 1st of June, 1t isipresumed that the
holidays will cease a few days after
ward.

INSURANCE MEN
MUST ACT FAIR
OTHERWISE SOMETHING WILL
DROP
Companies Which Seek to Avoid Pay
ment Of Policies at San Fran
cisco May Have Licenses
Revoked
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 1S.-That the
insurance companies which manifest
intention of resisting claims and evade
payment of losses sustained by policy
holders in the great fire here by resort
ing to legal technicalities will BE
marked companies and may meet with
drastic action in some states is indi-
Gated by the tenor of replies received
by Insurance Commissioner f.. Myron
Wolf In response to his appeal to the
insurance departments of other states
to assist him in compelling the insur-
ance companies to deal fairly with their
policy holders in the present crisis.
Commissioner Wolf yesterday re-
ceived the following official communi-
cation from Sam Z. Davis, state con-
troller of Nevada:
Theory Is Wrong
"I understand that some Of the
eastern and foreign companies are pro-
posing to crawl behind technicalities in
the matter Of adjusting losses in San
Francisco; that where houses were
dynamited to stay the progress of the
flames-houses which in the natural
course of events would have been swept
by the fire a few minutes later-they
will refuse to pay the insurance.
Now it appears to me that the act of
destroying these buildings was alone
what saved the rest of the city from
total destruction and no doubt pro
tected these companies from further
loss.
IF this saving of additional loss to
these companies is to be made pretext
on their part to evade their just obli-
cations in settlement of their San Fran
cisco liabilities it is prlma facie evil
dence to me that the companies resort
ing to these technicalities are dishonest
and on a proper showing of these facts
1 will revoke their license in Nevada -
