MAY BUILD
TO VENICE
HUNTINGTON STRIKES OUT INTO
NEW TERRITORY
SETS STAKES SEAWARD FROM
Plco HEIGHTS
Direct Route via The Palms Surveyed,
Which May in Time Link MaIibu,
the Bay Cities and Long
Beach

Surveying operations done before day
break and mysterious work by right OF
way men has convinced certain property
owners that the Huntington interests are
behind new trolley project from Los
Angeles to the sea via Palms and Venice.
Those near Abbot Kinney say he has
told his friends that within ninety days
there would be q new car service to
Venice.
The route, as now figured out by realty
men, is an extension of 5000 feet from the
Pico Heights line west.
From this point it is only eight miles
to the ocean.
Pavements have been torn up for some
time on Wilton place and West Pico
street for few blocks. and stakes have
been set for a double track railroad.
This is such direct line that even
with the subways the Hartman cars
operating over the Los Angeles-Pacific
system would have to move fast to out
strip the Huntington cars.
Among the beach spectators 1t is said
that Huntington is the real owner of the
Bristol pier, as the insurance policies
have been written in his name.
Relations between the Kinney interests
and the Los Angeles-Pacific have not
been of the best of late. 1t is said Kin
ney watchmen now count the passengers
DISSEMINATING at certain points to make
sure that the Kinney company gets its
ten cents commission on every 50-cent
round trip passenger to Venice
Railroad men see in the linking of
Huntington lines with Crescent Bay an
other move to bring George Gould into
southern territory. 1t would be easy to
connect the Long Beach, Redondo and
Crescent Bay district with the north and
south beach sections and finally with the
Malibu inlet which Gould is supposed to
control.

EUROPE oUTcLAssED

Some suggestive thoughts have beer
expressed through The Herald by one Of
the most prominent citizens Of Los An
geles who has just returned from pro
tracted visit in Europe. The subject
matter relates to the comparative nat
ural beauties of Europe and of our own
country. particularly that portion which
forms the setting for the Los Angeles
jewel.
The Angeleno referred to Is a fire.
quent visitor to. Europe and his Keen
ness of observation qualities him well
for the comparison he draws. He says,
IT could not find city in Europe pos
sessing such attractions as Los Angeles
offers" This in allusion to the natural
advantages of proximity to the ocean
and the lofty Sierras, as well as to the
unrivaled climate.
But in addition to the natural attrac-
tions of Los Angeles and it's environ
ment the observant Angeleno awards
the palm to this city in certain progress
sive features. For instance, he says,
there is not a street car system in
Europe to compare with that of Los
Angeles, and compared with our light
ing system all the noted cities of the
world might as we'll be using tallow
candles"
And yet, Americans are pouring their
many millions of dollars annually into
the resorts of Europe because the
fashionable trend is in that direction.
1t is in response to a fashionable fad
rather than the promise of real en-
joyment that leads to the tour of Eu-
ropes famous resorts. The far greater
attractions offered in the United States
are ignored because of the glittering
social allurement in the hotbeds of Eu-
ropean society.
There are unmistakable signs, how
ever, of a change in the prevailing
notion among rich Americans that
Europe is an overpowering tourist
magnet. The more sensible class of
Americans, at least, are beginning to
appreciate the grandeur of natures
beauties in the western part of their
own country.
AS an evidence of this change the OBJ
Angeleno aforesaid declares
that every foreigner 1 met going over

are relatively new to the
class of Americans who, as the An
geleno puts it, tear off to Europe, be-
ieving that only there can the atmos-
phere of vacation be found"
There were more tourists in Los An
seles last winter than in any previous
winter; there are more summer tour
sts here now than ever before. The
natural and artificial attractions Of this
section are beginning to arrest the at
tention of all tourists and the time is
not far distant when they will HE

the Mediterranean shore. .

FIRE COMM ssIoN GRANTS
HAY WAREHOUSE PERMIT

Attorney Robert A. Todd spoke so elo.
quently before the fire commissioners
yesterday in behalf of project to cree,
a hay warehouse at 1921 San Pedro street
that the protests of property owners were
set aside.
Attorney Todd said the warehouse
would cost $4,000 and showed plans that
were so ornate that the commissioners
remarked that such a building ought to
help property values.
Nichols &, Hammell own the land and
have right to erect the building, Com
missioner Schwamm said, hence the per-
init was granted.

Because the prosecuting attorney has
no funds wherewith to arrest and pun
ish wife-beaters is no reason why the
crime of wife-beating should become
prevalent in Los Angeles. The public
prosecutor only means to say he has
no immediate funds to pursue Wife
heaters into other states or at remote
points in this state. He can attend to
the city all right.

than to see young woman in luxu-

1t is no longer a question of getting

REAL PSYCHOLOGICAL
Mind CURES
Have Been Conducted For Years
BY an Eminent Swiss
Specialist.

DR.. Dubois, well known neurologis
OF Berne, has successfully applied the
principles of psychology to the cure
of certain diseases. His theory has
just been set forth in a small book
entitled THE Influence of Mind on
Body" For a number of years he has
been reporting cases in the Swiss and
French scientific reviews. Without en-
tering into the discussion OF the rela-
ton between psychical and physical
processes, he goes directly to the treat
ment of diseases by means of sugges-
ton and the training OF the will Ma
turally, 1t is in the case of nervous
troubles that he has been particularly
successful. The neurasthenic, who is
the most difficult to treat in ordina-
ny ways, is the most susceptible TO
psychological influences. The restless,
hysterical subject who lis a virtuoso
in the art OF making the emotional
Tyre vibrate," is a familiar figure in
modern life. 1t is not the importance
OF the idea or event which makes his
emotions violent; his morbid states
are excessive reactions to comparative
ly trivial stimuli. In popular language
he makes fuss about nothing. Yet,
when he has 10 meet an important
crisis. he finds himself helpless.
A mistaken medical psychology may
only aggrayate these maladies; for no
account is taken of the fact that a
phychical process gone wrong is the
cause, and that psychical treatment
may be cure Of the complaint. Here
is typical case described by the au-
thor:
Madam X is in state Of irrational
emotion from morning until evening,
and often from evening until morning.
When she awakes she begins the day
In a condition Of anxious agitation.
She feels already crushed beneath the
weight of all she has to do, and of all
she will have to suffer. - The
trifling annoyances which every moth
er of a family has to endure are for
her not simple vexations, but are
catastrophes, and the morning is al
ready filled with them.
At noon one of her sons has not
come In. Instead of supposing that
he is delayed by companions. she gets
1t into her head that he has been run
over by the tram, and she sends the
servant to look for him. At the
end Of the day the unhappy woman has

thousand collars, which debt have arr
sen because OF certain deficits and
failures In the revenue to meet the
current and necessary expenses OF the
State"
To the charge that we left larger
debt at the close of our administration
,han at the beginning, we enter an
emphatic denial. When we took
charge there was a bonded debt of
$500 900 and a floating debt Of $1,717,-
534, Making a total of $2,217 ,534. At
the close of Governor Bradley's admin
istration there was a bonded debt of
81 900 600 and a balance of $1,O6O, 425
cash In the Treasury. The Democratic
charge that ''they (the Republicans
did nothing for the public institutions
Of the State, nor for education, nor
for the progress and development Of
our resources" II is true Republicans
could get no help from a Democratic

point 10 the fact that the Senate was
Democratic and voted almost, If not
quite, unanimously for both bills and
the fu'her fact that it was provided
