PARTIES
CROWD TRAINS
SEASON FOR EXCURSIONS HAS
ARRIVED
Many People Travel to Cool Spots.
Low Rates Are Put Into
Effect by Santa Fe

The warm weather of the past few
over both the steam and electric lines
toward the beaches, and the picnic
season is now fairly on. Excursion
rates are being made to every place
where 1t is cool. The officials say that
the cars and trains are crowded on
Sunday, but that they are surprised and
gratiied to notice that more people are
going to the beaches and summer re-
sorts during the week days than ever
before.
Omcials say that It is their belief that
the extra heavy traffic this summer is
due to the advertisement that Los An
geles and Southern California have had
during the past year as a summer re-
sort. The scarcity of houses that are
for rent this summer bears out their
statement People desiring to move
state that is is difficult to secure de-
sirable locations. While the traffic both
westbound and eastbound over the
transcontinental lines is light, this be-
ing one of the dulest seasons during
the year, it is said that more eastern
people have remained in Los Angeles
this year to spend the summer than
ever before, and occupy many of the
houses that are usually for rent during
the summer months
Rates Are Reduced
Among the picnics that the Salt Lake
has scheduled for the coming two
weeks are the following: Saturday,
June 16, First Congregational Sunday
school to Verdugo Park; Tuesday, June

TICKET CLERK GETS HUMOROUS
Letter Explains Why He Wishes Man
Prosperity

Often as a ticket agent works busily
all day selling tickets there is a little
humor buzzing in his head. although
he looks as though he is thinking of
nothing but the quickest way to get
rid of the long line of people that keep
going and coming in front of the coun-
ter.
A. Jay Gottschalk, who holds down
a position behind the counter at the
Santa Fe ticket office. has smile that
is the envy of all of the clerks, and
hands out line of talk that will make
a pretty maid decide that she wants
to return east by way of the Grand
Canyon instead of Portland. Some of
the humor that is in his makeup came
to the surface yesterday, when he sent
the following letter to a friend in st.
Louis:
Whenever you become prosperous
don't forget that have thirty coming.
Wishing you prosperity, L am yours
very truly"

SEE GOOD PROSPECT FOR LINE
Railroad Men Say Huntington viii
Build to Santa Monica


Local railroad and realty men state
that they have positive assurances that
II. E. Huntington is quietly making
preparations to build line to Santa
Monica by way of Hollywood, as was
stated in The Herald April 5.
The owners of the Michigan sanitar-
ium, at the corner of Cover and Mel
rose avenues, and the trustees of the
Pacific Bible college, which recently ac-
quired ten acres near Melrose and
Western avenues, are endeavoring to
have the line built, as the street car
facilities for either of these places are
entirely inadequate.
Mr.. Huntington has for several years
owned private right of way paralleling
the following streets: From the ter
minus of the Bimini Baths line and over
private right of way from a point di-
rectly opposite First street and 900 feet
east of Vermont avenue. Thence north
to Melross avenue and west on Mel
rose into Colegrove and thence north
on Vine street into Hollywood. Thence
west on Franklin, connecting with an
other strip of private right of way.
From Hollywood the line would run
west to Santa Monica over land that is
owned by Mr.. Huntington.
This line has been talked of for some
time, but it is said that civil engineers
have been at work on the route and
that the beginning of the track laying
will be in the near future. Citizens of
Colegrove and Hollywood are desirous
of having the road built, for they be-
lieve that it will afford them much bet
ter transportation facilities than they
have at present.

TEACHES LANGUAGE BY
FORMING MIND PICTURES
BERKELEY INSTRUCTOR WILL
CONDUCT UNIQUE CLASS
Before University of Southern caIifor-
mia Summer School Prof. Swan
Will Impart Information by the
Psychologist Method, Using Laws
of Light and Sound

Prof. Howard Swan, a native of Eng
land, has been appointed to take charge
of the department of languages at the
summer school of the University of
Southern California.
Prof. Swan obtained his education in
London. He has become proficient in
the study and teaching of the appli-
cation of the laws of physical science
to modern languages, which is done
by the forming of mental pictures in
the brain.
Prof. Swan taught large classes in
modern languages for four years in
japan and China, coming to Berkeley
one year ago.
When seen last evening Prof Swan
expressed his delight in being here. He
appeared very enthusiastic in his work.
He said:
"A photographer arranges his photo
graphs in sets or scenes. So, also, the
Language teacher should arrange his
mental pictures and his sentences.
One Hundred Sets
HE should have, say 100 SETS and
in each set arrange the sentences in
order. One set would be for cooking,
for instance, another drawing water.
another hunting, still another fishing
and so on through the forms of life.
eff the pictures are called up in the
mind, it is simple matter to give the
exact sound at the same time and when
these are thoroughly known, but not
till then, the words can be written
tThe usual method of teaching goes
the wrong way. 1t begins with the
book, goes to the meaning and ends
with the pronuncia tion. The true
psychologist method is the reverse OF
this. Mental picture and cound are
given together Then the sounds are
written and last of all are read. BY
this means a very great saving is de
in time, and further, the pupils can
speak from the first with the correct
pronunciation.
Lessons Almost Dramatic
"With the special way the scenes are
taught. the lessons become almost
dramatic and it is very interesting to
watch or to take part in this new
method of teaching.
I'm England, as well as in Germany
France and Japan, the new psyche
logical method has in many colleges
completely changed the methods OF
language teaching. Pupils suddenly
become endowed with the gift OF
tongues.
"Clubs start up for conversing in
French, German or Spanish, and the
IIdNSlerS are aple 10 journey WIN
pleasure abroad or to undertake COM
mercial correspondence. All this has
been done by the careful use of the
laws of light, sound and psychology
in the teaching of languages"
Prof Swan intends to remain at least
one year in Los Angeles and will en-
deavor to train teachers in the new
method for different languages. He
will reside for the coming month al
the home of j. r. Goodfellow 1923 West
Thirty-sixth street.

READY TO FACE
OREGON CHARGE
ANGELEN0S INSIST ON VALID
INDICTMENT, HOWEVER
Attorney for Men Accused of Land
Frauds In North Says Clients
viii Not Fight Extra
ditfon

According to Attorney A. D. Warner,
who represents two of the defendants
in the land fraud case which is being
prosecuted by the government, his
clients are not afraid to appear for
trial The case which will. decide
whether they are removed to Portland
for trial or not will be tried before
Commissioner Van Dyke early next
week.
Indictments were returned against the
defendants on conspiracy charges .un-
der the United States revised statutes.
Those who were indicted on that count
We're A. H. Hedderly, r. w. Kenny,
Richard Hynes, Warren Gillelen, NJ NJ.
Riley, Lee r. Myers, Will d. Gould,
Jacob Cross, Donald w. Goodwin and
George l.. Stearns, all of Los Angeles,
and in San Francisco the following were
indicted on the same count: William III.
Smith, Fred W. Dennis and Richard T..
Jones.
MI Warner made the following state
mept yesterday:
Are Not Afraid
1.-The evident purpose of the article
sent over the wires by the district at
torney of Oregon was to create the i'm
preston that the defendants here were
afraid to go back to Oregon for trial
1 represent only two of the defendants
and l know they will make no resist
ance about going to Oregon. There is
nothing against either Mr.. Hynes or
Mr.. Myers whom L represent, that we
are afraid Of and 1 do not believe that
any charge against any of the other
defendants can be sustained.
IF crime was committed in Ore
gon it was done by Oregon men and
not one of the men, who are residents
of Los Angeles and charged in this in
dictment by the drag-net charge of
conspiracy have ever been connected
with any conspiracy or any fraudulent
transactions. The indictment that was
sent here was clearly bad on it's face
and without any evidence other than
such Indictment. OF course the de-
PENDANTS would refuse to be taken 1900
miles away from their business on a
| charge with which they never had any
thing to do.
Says Law Is Plain
THE law is plain that there must be
valid Indictment and in addition to
that, before one can be removed from
| one jurisdiction to another there must
be some competent evidence to show
that an offense has been committed
over which the court of the other dis
| trict has jurisdiction, and that the de-
| fendant Is the individual named in the
charge and that there is probable
cause for believing him guilty of th'
offense charged.
When the government makes sucl
a showing here the defendants whom
represent, and L believe the others
will willingly go to Oregon and viii
throw no obstacles in the way OF the
government What we want is a faii
trial and an opportunity to prove oul
| innocense.

FOB MANY REASONS.
Parliamentary Committee Advises
Against Insurance Security Fund.

London, Aug. 11.-"In view of the evil
dence they have heard the committee
does not consider that in the interest of
British policyholders it is desirable to
compel foreign companies to deposit
funds in this country"
This is the finding of the select COM
mittee of the house of lords appointed
to inquire into and report on what steps
should be taken by the deposit of funds
or otherwise, to provide adequate Sc
curity to the British polfcyholders in life
insurance companies, which have their
chief offices outside OF tie United King
dom but which carry on business in this
country The committee found an al
most unanimous opinion among the
leading British actuaries and life insur-
ance managers against compelling such
measures on the part Of foreign COM
panies.
Among the reasons advanced were
that such measures would violate the
principle that the whole Of the funds
of an insurance company should be
available for the claims of all policy
holders alike; that it might lead to re-
prisals on the part Of the foreign gov
ernments; that it might lead the public
to believe that the solvency of the COM
panies making the deposits was guar
anteed by the government; that such
deposits might seem to imply statu-
| tory basis for valuation.
The report says that foreign COM
panies should be placed as far as pos
sible in the same position as British
companies. They should be made to
comply with the requirements of the
Life Insurance company act of 1897.
The deposit of 100000 which this
act makes obligatory on the part of
any new company foreign or British
prevents the formation of mushroom
companies but allows withdrawal Of
this deposit as soon as premiums
amount to 100000.
The committee recommends as an
absolute guarantee to policy holders
of being always able to proceed
against companies in the courts of
this country; that every company
should be required to maintain this
deposit OF 100000 permanently so
long as its policies continue outstand-
ing In this country.

Albert Parker, formerly mayor of

Kansas City is good enough for me. I
have bought a $4,000 residence down
there, and feel confident that Kansas
City is going to be a city of million

to be profitable.

your taxes are too high. If they had
let me run the Office of mayor when
was elected here. and had not bounded
me to death, would have saved thou
sands of dollars for this city. But they
didn't give me any show"
