TROUBLE BREWS
IN VIOLENT FORM
Admission Fee Demanded to Venice
Midway, and Showmen Make
Protest Against High
Handed Methods
Special to The Herald.

VENICE, May 12.-Trouble has
broken out afresh on the Midway and
once again it is rumored that Abbot
Kinney is about to put the "kibosh'' on
the whole outfit, leases, buildings,
buildings, freaks and takers, with
whom his relations have for a long
time been strained, but now appear
to be at the breaking point.
The present unpleasantness took vio-
lent form yesterday when Jim Kava-
nagh, who recently became identified
with the Midway leasing management.
put into effect a bright scheme of his
own to bring up the days receipts by
barricading the arched entrance to the
Midway and making an admission
charge of 10 cents, which resulted In a
tremendous falling off in the patronage
which the small fry concessionists had
bargained for. The latter class deal
direct with the Midway Leasing COM
pany, and in paying rentals for their
exhibiting space, they claim, the under
standing has been that entrance to the
Midway should be free.
When the fact that Kavanagh had
established a toll gate at the Plaisance
became known to Manager H. r. Hanna
of the Kinney company q conference
with Mr.. Kinney and several other
leading business men was held with
the result that Kavanagh, who refused
absolutely to reconsider his action In
the matter, was given to understand
that if he didn't take off the entrance
fee he could look for unpleasant de-
velopments. On the Kinney people
leaving Kavanagh. Gus Niendorf, who
operates dummy mule baseball game
on the Plaisance, also registered an OBJ
lection to the admission charge and on
being consigned to the neither regions
by Kavanagh, used his fists on the
Midway boss, who in turn clinched and
had to be separated from his antago-
mist.
Later in the day Kavanagh was
thumped by an employe named
Wheeler, whom he had ordered stand
guard against trespassing at the real
Of the Midway and who on refusing tc
| take the assignment was ordered out Of
| the inclosure by Kavanagh, who re-
fused to pay the man two weeks wage:
alleged to be due. A. r. Walters, pro
prietor of the Bump the Bumps con
cession, who with practically all of the
other lessees OF space have threatened
Kavanagh with law proceedings be-
cause of his alleged violation of con-
tract, stated this evening that such ac-
ton undoubtedly would be brought dur
ing the week.
Notwithstanding the pressure brought
to bear, Kavanagh today continued to
charge admittance to the Midway
grounds and in emphatic language
stated that he intended running the
Midway to. suit himself and that con-

VENICE, May 12.-In the teeth OF

with which this resort was carpeted

there was a general let UP Of all out

Along the ocean front the zephyrs

ticles of sand found easy access. AT
the beach and Horizon avenue, where
the Kinney company is making excaya-
tions for new bath house building, the
result of several days work was prob
ably undone as a result of the sand
being blown into the foundation open

mend a jacket or a catcher's mitt for
a boy who has played all day; or to
sew on a cobweb of lace, or adjust a
ribbon, or change something about a
gown for a girl who has had such a
good time all day that she just can't
bear to stop. but must go out for a
better time in the evening. That's
mother. Staying at home when she
wants to go out, that the others may
without her. That's mother Sacri-
rificing this hope, that comfort, that
desire and that rest for people who for
get to say THANK you" That's mother.
Laying off her wraps and staying home
from church or prayer meeting because
someone else has played himself or
danced herself into headache. That's
mother. Getting accustomed to hear
the other members of the family say, as
they are getting ready for an evenings
entertainment, "Oh, no; mother
doesn't care to go! Church and prayer
meeting are mothers only dissipa-
some families allow her. They don't
cost anything and the rest of the family
don't want to go. And they kind of
hope that they may get into heaven
by and by, as they got everywhere else
when they were little, clinging on to
mothers skirts.
But maybe-and it would be done,
too, if 1 was at the gate-maybe the
good Lord will shut out a lot of fami-
lies for about thousand years proba-
ton, while mother gets little rest
and has the best and most of every
thing brought to her by angels who
just love to see mother enjoy herself.
But then going to heaven wouldn't
make her any less of a mother, and
she'd be at the gate every minute OF
the hourless day, watching for the chill
dren. SO 1 guess I'd have to let them
in, anyhow. But some of them
wouldn't enjoy it, If mother was along.
