VENICE, April 21.-Probably 10000
persons visited this resort today, the
crowd for the most part making a
hasty return to the cars on being con-
fronted by a strong sea breeze that
made walking unpleasant and outdoor
amusement practically impossible.
Along the broad cement walk numer-
Gus pedestrians came to grief to the
evident enjoyment of residents who,
sitting behind glass inclosed verandas,
watched many luckless individual
chase his hat or the embarrassment of
those young women whose clothing
threatened to blow away. There were
few misses at least who tried to open
up their pretty Japanese paper para
soils, one of which every beach girl is
supposed to have, regardless of the
breeze, but that the sunshades lost was
evident to strollers on the beach this
evening who encountered the wrecks
of the Jap's handicraft.
The two concerts given by the Chi
cago Symphony orchestra at the audi
torium were attended by large audi
ences and at the dancing pavilion and
skating rink large crowds were in evil
dence. The law troubles that for sew
eral months have resulted in the bath

tinue the service Of the establishment
have not seemingly approached any
stage of amicable settlement.
There was considerable satisfaction
expressed yesterday by local merchants
on word being spread about that the
bath house would be reopened today,
but the joy was short lived, in so much
as the strength of the story depended
on the Kinney company being able to
operate the establishment on a court
order ordering the release of the sher-
iff in charge. Manager of the bath
house, j. A. Bleakley, was not to be
outwitted, however, and no more than
had the Kinney people come into pos
session of their property than he was
on the spot with an injunction that
killed the one previously issued.
In the service of the commanding
order Bleakley, who was with Deputy
Sheriff Osterholt, was seized by Man
ager Hanna of the Kinney company
as he was about to enter the bath
house, Hanna not knowing the latest
turn in affairs.
In return, Bleakley, who was com.
pletely taken by surprise by Hanna
struck the Kinney business manager
several times before bystanders inter.
fered. That the troubles between the
bath house people and Mr.. Kinney have
reached an acute stage no one in touch
with local affairs doubts.

SUMMERS COMING
TO FIGHT HARRIS
English Boxer Would Like to Visit
America and Display His Skill.
Anxious to Hook Up
with Nelson
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BOSTON, Mass, April 21.-Johnny
Summers, the crackerjack British
featherweight, who called Nelson s
bluff about wanting to fight in
England, is likely to fight Harry Har-
ris Of New York in this country.
| The negotiations are being conducted
and providing the arrangements are
acceptable to Summers it is not un-
likely that he will. visit Boston about
the middle of May.
! 1t Is not possible at this time to give
the name of the club making the offer
but 1t is believed Summers will accept
as it affords him a chance of meeting
either Attell or Robson.
| Summers particularly desires to fight
Robson, either in this country or
abroad, and he wishes to contradict in
the ring the impression that has gone
forth that Robson knocked him out
just previous to leaving England. AS
matter of fact, the boot was being
pulled on the other foot, for Summers
lost the fight on a foul at time when
he had a big lead.
Robson had been dropped to the mat
and was coming to his knees after TAX
ing part of the count when Summers
got excited, and, rushing in, bounced
one on Spikes head. AT the National
Sporting club such tactics are not
winked at, and the result was that
Sumers was sent to his corner a loser.
Since that time Summers has been
anxious to meet Robson again, but on
account of Robson's American engage
ments the latter could not tarry long
enough in England for >the bout to be
arranged.
If Summers can be tied up with Rob-
son in this country, the bout promises
to be decidedly unusual affair, aside
from a rattling good fistic exhibition
as the spectacle of two Englishmen
both fighting in this country for the
featherweight championship of Eng
land, will be something rare and dis
tinct in American annals.
Wants to Meet Nelson
Last but not least on Summers pro-
gram stands Battling Nelson. After
listening to Nolan's speeches transmit
ted by the Danish warrior, Summers
took $500 worth dislike to the fighter
from the Scandinavian peninsula, caus-
ing that worthy to shut off the brain
storm and start for home.
"I have still got that S50O0," writes
uummers, land If Nelson wants to
make 13O pounds ringside, a popular
weight with him, why I'll weigh In
alongside of him, minus gloves, etc.
etc., and throw in a hair cut and shave,
which latter concession ought to appeal
to the Dane"
1t looks, however, that it will be
some moons from now before Summers
bitches up with Nelson, for it has be-
come noticeable to the world of sport
that since Nelson was punched full OF
holes by Joe Cans that he has de-
veloped decided distaste for serious
fistic encounters. 1t is, therefore, very
probable that If he left England to
avoid Summers, he will not meet MIN
here unless the promoters who are
willing to undertake the enterprise can
arrange to draw a pension to keep
themselves alive after the N. & n
combination has divided up the spoils

PASADENA, April 21.-"WANTED-
Twenty-Five young women who will
agree not to get married within a
year" This advertisement on behalf
of the Pasadena Home Telephone com
pany may be expected to appear soon
unless the attractive young women who
say Number, please" cease to listen
to the honeyed words of the little blind
god of love.
The Pasadena Home Telephone ex-
change employs from twenty to twen-
ty-five young women, and as the rate
of pay is good and special attention
is paid to their comfort, the company
even giving them a recreation room
with a piano, unusually clever and at
tractive girls are constantly employed.
The Pasadena young men have long
been aware of this fact and the local
exchange has secured well-estab-
lished reputation as recruiting
grounds for cottages and bicycles built
for two. The company officials smiled
when the first results of their efforts
to secure bright young women were
rewarded by having their first charge
promoted to the more exalted rank of
wifehood. The company came
through with a present and a sub
stitute was installed in regular posi-
ton. Inat was all tOr LndE IlIne, DuI
now the manager does not smile so
broadly when he receives notice from
upstairs that another girl is about
to forsake the telephone for the gas
stove.
"There is a reason" for this, as a
leading advertiser says, and the rea-
son is that there seems to be regular
epidemic Of matrimony in the Home
exchange. Out of the comparatively
small force not less than half dozen
have been welded within the past two
and half months, and there are more
marriages in sight; in fact, another is
to come next Wednesday,
Some of the Pasadena people inter-
ested in the Home Telephone have
been subpoenaed to go to San Francisco
and tell the grand jury there what they
know about things in general, and San
Francisco graft in particular, but
their troubles are as nothing COM
pared to those of the manager of the
local exchange. He will shortly be
driven to desperation If the young wo-
men operators of the company do not
cease becoming brides.
The manager even has annexed a
harassed look and when a young wo-
man sends down word that she would
like to take an afternoon off his face
becomes grave, for within the past few
weeks one of the girls did this and the
result was fatal. She went for her
