MIDWAY MAY BE TURNED
INTO ALLIGATOR RANCH
Lessee of Venice Concessions Thinks
saurians Would Be Profitable
Investment and Draw
Big Crowds
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, July 31.-To' propagate alli-
gators on the Midway is the latest idea
of the enterprisng management which
announces that negotiations have prac-
tically been closed with the owner of a
south Carolina alligator farm for the
Immediate shipment of two giant speci-
mems of the saurians.
General Passenger Agent Short OF the
Los Angeles Pacific railway, who mas a
lease on the Midway concessions, is saio
to have under consideration converting
the entire Midway park into an alli-
gator farm if the experiment in view
makes it appear that the reptiles can be
raised at small expense
He figures that as an attraction an
alligator farm would rival an ostrich
farm and that in a commercial way the
profits would be equally as large.

FAST TENNIS
VETERAN BELL DRAGs BROWNE
INTO CAMP
Miss Browne Loses Two Games but
Gains Prestige by Her Clever
Work-Summary of
Play

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, July 31.-sinsabaugh's s
well earned victory over Wayne was the
particular feature of day of exciting
contests and few surprises that marked
the third days play in the twenty-third
annual tournament of the Southern Call
fornia association. Without, having
played a game in the singles, slnsabaugh,
as the result Of bye in the drawing and
the defaults of Keeney. and Taylor in the
first and second rounds, faced Wayne,
who had attained his standing by dispos-
ing of Lawrence and Galusha in sets that
brought out some of the best play that
the tournament has produced.
In his characteristic, slashing style,
Wayne set the pace and had his ap-
ponent perplexed soon after their
match was called. Sinsabaugh POISONED
through the first set which he lost by the
score of 4-6.
He was onto his job, however. when the
ball was put into play for the second
time. BY rare generalship and unlimited
speed he turned the tables on Wayne,
whose game play won for him the admira-
tion of the crowd.
The third set was a repetition of the
second, Wayne losing but making Sinsa-
baugh bring out the best in his locker to
turn the trick.
Nat Brown fell an easy victim to the
veteran Bell, his defeat being unlocked
for by those who had witnessed his recent
decisive defeat of Bundy in the Country
club championship tourney last May.
Miss May Browne, the youthful sister
of Bells vanquished opponent, met defeat
during the day in both the women's spe-
cial and open events. Her undoing, how"
ever, was not without adding laurels to
the high esteem in which she is held by
the regulars. To run up points against
Miss Florence Sutton and to make Miss
Peralta play her best game was generally
considered about all that a girl in her
early teens could be expected to do.
The results were as follows
Ladies' Open Singles
semi-fnals-Miss F. Sutton beat Miss NJ
Brcwne 6-3 6-1.
Ladies' Singles, Special

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 31.-Who but a
Yankee boy would think of hftching an
automobile to an ice cream freezer.
That is what Pasadena boy has done
and now he makes delicious ice cream
simply by jacking up the automobile and
hitching the machine to the gearing of
the freezer.
His parents have an electric auto and
1t furnishes power enough to turn ice
cream making from task to delight.
1t is probable that the next move in
the line of automobile adaptation will
be to hitch 1t to the COW and do the
milking by auto-electricity.
The small boy who invented the ice
cream making device had been making
the folks at his home ice cream almost
every day, and, getting tired Of the
work, put his inventive genius into

Credit Due France

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. Tn dispatch from
Tang1er the correspondent of the Times
says congratulations are due to the
French government for the prompt meas
ures it has taken at Casa Blanca and to
the French seamen, who, in the face of
overwhelming numbers. showed splendid
courage and undoubtedly saved the
European residents of Casa Blanca from
massacre.
According to the latest reports, shots
were fired Sunday on the French con-
sulate, and when the French consul de-
manded protection from the governor and
the military commander of the town
these officers replied that they were pow
erless to guarantee safety and invited the
commander of the French cruiser Galilee
to disembark troops.
1t appears that the town gate was
closed behind the first French landing
party. The men consequently found
themselves in a trap and their way barred
by uniformed Moorish troops who imme-
diately opened fire. The seamen cleared
their way by a bayonet charge, literally
forcing their passage over the dead bodies
of the Moorish soldiers.

AWFUL GRIMES IN NEW YORK
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The responsible
ity for the epidemic of crimes against
girls, which has been prevalent in this
city and Chicago, is laid at the door of
society by Mrs. Elizabeth Grannis, presi-
dent of the National Christian League
for the Promotion of Purity.
Parents who are reluctant to go into
court to prosecute those who attack their
daughters she criticised sharply and she
declared that such crimes would continue
as long as persons make the question of
sex a vulgar matter instead of treating
it with reverence.
Mrs. Grannis declared that the pres
ent laws did not punish such offenders
severely enough and that she intended
to begin a campaign for the passage of
a more adequate measure. Deportation
she regarded as possibly effective pen
atty.
Timing is no deterrent" she said
neither is imprisonment. I am opposed
to the Imprisonment of men acucsed Of
attacks on girls. Other treatment should
be given They should be deported as a
warning to other recklessly inclined and
depraved men.
Go Right Back to Evil Ways
whats the use of fining a man who Is
well able to pay the fine, and who goes
right back into his evil ways? The men
who commit these crimes against women
have an awful ancestry and training. To
imprison them is no way to break up the
evils they are responsible for
"And absolutely nothing is accom-
plished when a woman of the streets is
fined for soliciting. She goes right back
to earn the money the state has collected
from her The entire system is an aid to
the development of crime.

In a few minutes she heard the man
crawling about under the compartment
she was in. Without warning she poured
the steaming hot water over the head,

His yells of pain quickly brought a
great crowd Of women bathers about the

almost blinded by the hot water was a

skirts, ran after him and easily captured
him.
Lets drown him." one excited woman
screamed.
This seemed to be the wish of all the
other women, and the man was dragged,
yelling and struggling, to the beach He
struck at the women who were holding
him, but only angered them the more.
He was quickly overpowered and dragged
into the water.
Twenty or more women joined in duck
ing him. The man yelled for help, but
each time he opened his mouth he was
showed under water again. Exhausted
by his own struggles and the repeated
duckings he had received the man quit
fighting and was showed, pushed and
beaten about in the water by the women.
The husbands of several of the women
became alarmed when he stopped strug
Cling and rushed out and dragged their
wives away. Scarcely able to breathe,
the man was hauled up on the beach
While lying on the sand trying to regain
his breath the man was repeatedly at
