esdue, and is a bit Of real adventure
seen through the eyes of an artist
Besides a complete novel of excep-
tional interest, "The Magistrates own
Case" by Baron Pale Rosenkrantz, the
famous Danish writer, Transatlantic
Tales for May contains a score of short
stories by such authors as Mathilde
Serao, Georges Ohnet, Pedro de Alar-
con, Anton Chekhov, Rene Bazin, V.
Blasco Ibanez, Hans Arnold, Gustavo
A. Becquer, etc. With the literatures
of ell Europe to draw from, the con-
tents of this magazine win for 1t a
unique place among the periodicals that
must depend solely upon their respec-
tive shares of the material furnished
by America alone.
Opening a copy of the Metropolitan
Magazine for May one is first of oil
impressed with the vital interest and
cheerfulness of its articles, the enter
tanning qualities of its fiction and with
It's wonderfully attractive appearance.
The leading article is 1.-THE Era of In
ter-Continental Railways" one of a
series by Alexander Hume Ford on
THE Future or transportation" The
present paper goes into the plans al
ready under foot for girding the globe
with rails. 1t tells what has already
been done at the cost OF tremendous
effort and what is to be done within
the next few years. An article of un-
usual interest and Importance Is that
on Fire Prevention" by f. w. Fitz-
patrick, which goes into the startling
fire losses by this country and suggests
means Of minimizing them"
Ainslee's for May contains n story Of
the very first rank in the novelette, by
E. II. Benson, entitled THE Blotting
Book" 1t is a mystery or detective
story, involving a murder. That 1t Is
not detective story of the usual melo-
dramatic style is guaranteed by the
fact that 1t is the work of Mr.. Benson.
1t is, however, dramatic and exciting
enough to suit the most seasoned lover
of sensation. 1t is the sort of story
that quickens the pulse and stirs the
blood. and keeps one in a state of grow
ing suspense until the climax is reached
In the court room scene.
The May Popular makes an appeal to
a very wide circle of readers. For the
lover of detective exploits there are two
most ingenious yarns, THE Red Golf
CAPE" by j. Kenilworth Egerton, and
The Stolen Goddess" by Scott Camp
bell. The latter tells of successful
plot to steal the Venus de Milo from the
Louvre in Paris, and how Felix Boyd,
detective, outwitted the French thieves
and restored the famous statue. The
west is the scene Of two short stories
and a complete novel. 7. Jenkins Hains
has really thrilling story of q diver
in "On the Great Bahama Bank" One
of the cleverest tales of the month is
LAS Man Soweth," by G. B. Lancas-
ter; 1t centers around the building of a
big bridge in New Zealand.

LONG BEACH, April 27,-Property
owners representing 2000 feet of 'front.'
age along American avenue, between
Sixth street and Anaheim road decided
at a meeting held last night that in
stead of having that portion Of the
thoroughfare paved it should be oiled.
A petition asking the city council to
begin this work will probably be sub
mitted at the next meeting.
The largest bass ever caught in that
vicinity was hooked in the channel at
Naples this afternoon by C. H. Jenni-
son with a rod and reel. The fish
weighed sixteen pounds and gave it's
captor a two hours battle.
Thomas Beals, who is stopping at the
Glenwood apartments on American
avenue, was stricken with a nasal
hemorrhage last night while asleep.
Before waking he lost a large amount
of blood and by the time a physician
was summoned he was in a very much
weakened condition. The hemorrhage
was at last stopped by means of pack
ing with gauze after ordinary methods
had failed.
The Rev. Will A. Knighten of Los
Angeles will deliver the annual ami

Actor Lawrence, In Suit Filed in
Fresno, Says Contract Was Made
Subject to Approval of
kIaW G ErIanger
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
FRESNO, April 27.-Here is a curious
whirligig of the law-an actor denying
under oath that he is good actor. Del
Lawrence, we'll known in Fresno makes
this vehement denial, not only for him
self but also for Myrtle Vane, his lead
ing woman. The allegation that they
were good actors was made by r. G..
Barton in a suit brought by him to pre-
vent the Lawrence company from
opening an engagement in Sacramento.
Lawrence put up bond of $25O0 and
the court thereupon held the injunction
issued Saturday in allegiance for ten
days.
Barton claims that Lawrence broke
a contract to play in the Barton the
ater this summer.
Lawrence claims that the contract
was made subject to the approval of
Klaw & Erlanger and that he had never
been notified that it had been approved.
In his answer filed this morning Law
renee accused Burton of bad faith. The
order secured from Judge Rhodes will
permit Lawrence. to open in Sacrament
to under his new contract, but will
probably result in a damage suit being
brought against him to recover $3.50 a
week, which Barton claims he will lose
by the failure Of the company to appear
in the Barton circuit.
1t was in the course of the charges
and counter charges that Lawrence de-
MED that he was good actor.

THROOP SCHOOL
CHANGES POLICY
ONLY TECHNICAL SUBJECTS
TO BE TAUGHT
College, Business, Grammar and other
Departments Will Be Dropped.
New President to Be
Technical

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, April 27.-The board of
trustees Of Throop institute this even
ing made the most important change
in policy Of the institution since the
school was started. It is nothing more
nor less than the determination to
abandon all sections of the school work
save only those exclusively devoted to
technical work.
The trustees decided that their aim
shall be to make Throop rank with the
greatest technical schools of the coun-
try, taking the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology as the standard. No
expense or effort is to be spared, and
teachers of national standing will be
imported.
The man who is to be chosen to sue
ceed President Edwards, resigned, is to
be a technical man entirely, man who
will advance the institution on strictly
technical lines and on technical lines
only. He was not selected this evening,
but probably will be selected in a short
time.
This decision on the part of the trus-
tees means the abandonment of the
college, business grammar and other
untechnical departments. 1t means that
the Pacific coast will at last have
strictly technical school which shall
rank with any of those of the east.
In connection with this new plan the
trustees will undoubtedly select new
and larger site for school buildings,
and 1t is rumored that the institution
is to have a large additional endoW-
ment to enable it to carry on its more
extensive work under the new plans.

ell In special session today, did its best
to get caught up so as to leave a clean
deck for the new administration, which
takes office May 6. The most important
matter up today was a brand new milk
ordinance, the fifth which has been
drafted. 1t is drastic in its changes and
makes a fixed charge of S1.5O for eacn
COW as license fee instead of licensing
on q sliding scale for the benefit of
those having a great many cows.
Friends of T. L. Heber, who conducted
a store for months on North Fair oaks
avenue, were greatly surprised today
when they heard of his arrest for SELL
ing mortgaged goods. Heber will have
his preliminary examination next Mon
day afternoon. He is charged with haV-
ing mortgaged his household goods and
then with having sold them.
Allan Harris made the mistake of his
life last evening. He was following
some young women down Pasadena
avenue, at least they say So and when
they turned into a house he tried to
follow them, but got into the wrong
house and stumbled into the home of
Policeman Stegeman. He was today
sentenced to serve thirty days in the
county Jail for his mistake.

Street Parades on May Day to Be For

Positions
By Assoeiated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 27.-All appearances
indicate that May day this year will be
observed less generally than ever in
Germany. Many cities have forbidden
street parades or other public demon
strations, and the employers organiza-
tions as a rule have taken strict meas
ures TO prevent the workmen from cele-
brating the day, using the threat of a
weeks dismissal without pay If they
absent themselves.
This was the means which last year
brought the Hamburg stevedores to
terms The social democratic national
committee has issued the usual procla-
nation calling upon the socialists to
observe the day, but the appeal is less
aggressive than usual. 1t urges the
local organizations to study the situa-
ton for themselves anI then only cele-
brate the day if they can do so without
getting into trouble with their employ
ers.
The proclamation has been the sub
ject Of criticism on the part of the stall
wart socialists, but the leaders in their
speeches deem the moderate recon-
mendations as being the only wise
course in view of the firm attitude OF
the municipalities.
