Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Dec. 9.-Subpoenas calling
for attendance tomorrow before the grand
Jury at Los Angeles were served here
today on a number of prominent persons,
among whom Mrs. B. Coulon, it is said,
will be asked to testify as to the char
acter of the guests at Abbot Kinneys
tent city shortly previous to the time of
the recent disincorporation election.
For three years Mrs. Coulon had been
in charge of the renting of the tents,
but Immediately after the election she
was summarily dismissed from the en-
ploy of the Kinney company. No reason,
she states, was assigned for her dis
charge.
From Other sources 1t is learned that
certain workers in the election who gave
attention to seeing that the registrations
received proper entry, concluded that
Mrs. Coulon knew too much and that
her departure from the beach was to be
encouraged.
Others who were subpoenaed, it is said,
include Mrs. c. Bouck, at present in
charge of the tent city, and Mrs. David
Hartman of Venice.

PASADENA, Dec. 9.-It is openly as
serted that ell responsibility for the con-
ditions existing in connection with the
municipal light muddle is being shifted
by the administration upon the shoulders
of Manager G. G. Glass of the city plant.
and 1t Is more strongly talked than ever
that he is to be succeeded in that posi-
tion by some one else in the near future.
II the latter step is taken it is believea
by the friends of Glass that 1t will be for
no cause other than he is an appointee of
the former administration.
1t is now charged it is through the
recommendations of Glass that the city
is short Of money in the acquisition fund.
as improvements recommended by him
have cost more than his original estt-
mates. 1t is charged that when the pres
ent administration took office Glass said
the plant could be completed according
to the original plans for about $4,000. In
the same charge 1t claimed Glass not only
spent this money, but that additional bills
have been contracted calling for $4,000
more.
Glass has but little to say, other than
that the plant does not get credit for
what 1t has saved the city on it's street
lighting bills, that additional lights have
since been put up and that there is a
stock of material on hand, which, If all
were reckoned, would come close to his
original estimate.
