FOUR ARRESTED NOT ONLY
ONES IMPLICATED
Prisoners Charged with Criminal AS
sault on Little Girls viii Be
Arralened In Court
Today
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, April 1.-The Pasadena
Humane society has decided to prose-
cute to the limit the quartet of men
arrested yesterday by Field officer Nc
Any, Constable Austin and Detective
Coping, charged with criminal assault
on two girls, Nellie Meach and Pearl
Kohler.
The case has attracted widespread
attention since the arrest was made
yesterday and there has been Sc
we're sentence passed upon the four
men by the Pasadena public.
1t is understood that when the two
girls made their confession to the po-
lice after they were taken into GUS
tody yesterday morning by the officers
they incriminated others besides the
four who were arrested and charged
with the crime. These four were Tom
Hawkins married and the father of
one child Jim Hawkins, Charles
Hughes and Harry Pruitt The iden-
tity of the others said to have been
accused in the girls confession is un-
known, but it has become rumored
about that there are several men grown
about the town who are shaking in
their boots for fear the hand of the
law will fall upon them in the next
instance.
The four men captured yesterday by
the officers after the two girls had been
taken into custody will be arraigned
on charge of criminal assault tomor-
row morning before Justice Klamroth
of this city.

VENICE IS AFTER
GOVERNMENT CASH
City of Canals Thinks Itself a Good
Place for Coast Defenses
Similar to Puget
Sound
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, April 1.-Infuenced by re-
cent reports of large appropriations by
the government for coast defense at
Puget Sound points and along the At
lantic seaboard, the local chamber of
commerce, through it's secretary,
Lewis E. Bradt, has taken up with
the United States war department the
question of building fortifications on
the south coast shore line.
The possibilities of causing the gov
ernment to give early consideration to
Venice as a location for citadel has
been enthusiastically taken up by Alb
bot Kinney, who has authorized the
trade organization to proffer for gov
ernmental uses the pier, breakwater
and inner harbor, subject to any plans
of defense that may be deemed FEAST
BILE by the departments engineers. In
urging the claims of the organiZa-
tion that he represents that the pro-
lection of the southern coast should be
Immediately considered, Mr. Bradt
points out the excellence of Venice as
location for fortress, and supported
by wealth of information brings to
bear many convincing and interesting
facts relative to the subject He points
out that the governments property in
terests in this section are of enormous
proportions including as they do the
National Soldiers home at Sawtelle,
the federal building at Los Angeles in
course of construction, the forest re-
serves to the south and San Clemente
and other small islands within easy
distance of Venice bay. All of these
holdings. he states, would be amply
protected by the installation of a tor
pedo service here. AS basis for mill
tary operations bearing is brought on
the fact that the entire country adja-
cent to Venice is characterized by low
grades and is practically frostless MAX
ing the conditions for an encampment
unequaled anywhere in California. 1t
Is believed that the war department
will follow up the matter by sending
an expert here to investigate into the
practicability of conforming with the
trade organizations wishes.

JOHN DAILY MURPHY
MAKES INITIAL BOW
AT BELASCO THEATER

John DAILY Murphy made his bow
from the Belasco stage last night in
Because She Loved Him So," and re-
ceived eight curtain calls.
Mr.. Murphy is what the Belasco has
needed for a long time. He is a rafting
good comedian, the kind one wants to
hear to make them laugh and from the
welcome he received last night he can
stay at the Belasco just as long as he
wants to, so far as the public is con-
cerned.
Also the team work of the company
was spectacularly magnificent.
The play gave Mr.. Murphy good
chance for a demonstration of his
quality in the comedian line, gave it to
him on his very first appearance, and to
say that he made good would be putting
il mildly.
Because She Loved Him So" is one
of William Gillette's funniest produce
tions based on the troubles of a young
and old married couple. The east gave
the play a royal welcome and so did
the west. 1t has been seen before in
Los Angeles and local theater goers
are fairly familiar with it's detail, but it
is always good.
In it an old couple attempt to show
their daughter the folly of her jealousy
by Stimulating a quarrel between them
selves and they make fair job of It,
OF course all the young wives who at
tended the play laughed until they were
nearly SICK. but just what they would
have done under similar circumstances
might not have been quite so laugh
able.
AS Mrs. John Wetherby Miss Eleanor
Carey Is superb.
Lewis Stone and Miss Albertsen ap-
pear in the roles Of the young people
who have trouble, and of course every
thing comes out right after you have
been treated to a performance that is
one of exceptional merit.
Miss Florence Smyth has a clever
little role in the performance and her
conception OF the demands of that role
was as usual, artistic. Miss Smyth did
not appear in the production of 1.-THE
Manxman," and her return was well
coined by her many friends and admir-
ers.
Dick Vivian, Bradlee Martin, Adele
Farrington Fanchon Everhart and Miss
Berg appear in the cast to great adj
vantage.
For an evening of enjoyment, such as
is rarely offered by as clever a stock
company as at the Relasco, go to see
John DAILY Murphy in the play Of the
week.

AUTOMOBILES CRASH
AND ONE is DAMAGED

LONG BEACH, April ii. P. Miller,
local real estate men, claims that he
has a grievance, and is attempting to
find out who the four men were in a
big motor car which crashed into his
auto late yesterday afternoon at a
curve in the main road near San Pedro.
Miller's machine was damaged so thor
oughly that it will cost SIS to repair it,
1t was brought into town at about
midnight last night. Miller said this
morning that instead of keeping to the
right the men in the other car violated
the etiquette of the road and turned to
the left. They did not stop after the
crash to ascertain what damage they
had caused, but Miller claims to have
the number of the car on leaf of his
memorandum book.

Water
Precinct.
Totals .......... 10.

All of the other candidates on the
Farley ticket go through though the
race between Winner and Root Tor
councilman from the fifth ward was
so close that only IL votes separated
the candidates, Winner receiving 1888
to 1921 for Root, present councilman.
H. c. Hotaling polled the largest in
dividual vote, getting 2096 to only 1908
for Victor Marsh. Hotaling VIII be
councilman at large.
Thomas H. Webster is elected coun-
Gilman from the First ward over
Towle, the incumbent, by 1927 to
1874. Towle was appointed to- office
by Mayor Waterhouse to fill vacancy
and he has been in office but few
weeks He is practically unknown.
One of the serious mistakes Of the
day was the parading of the city with
a brass band by the Waterhouse peo-
pie. Pasadena does not take to the
circus method of campaigning, ana
votes Of thinking people were lost by
this plan. 1t was never tried before in
the history of Pasadena, and probably
will not be attempted again.
The north side put the knife into
the Farley ticket as far as possible.
This section has been claiming all
along that 1t has not been receiving
it's share Of street and other improve
ments, but in spite of this fact voted
against a new regime and with the
cause of their trouble.
When the complete returns were an
nounced at the Farley headquarters,
which were packed full to overhowing
| by a couple of hundred men who had
worked as though possessed all day,
pandemonium broke loose. Thomas
Farley was hoiSted on the shoulders
of cheering men and he was cheered
until the shouting brought people from
all sections of the CITY,
He responded briefly to the ap-
plause and then H. C. Hotaling,
Thomas H. Webster and George A.
Winner were forced to bow their
thanks from the elevation of a table.
The Waterhouse people take their de-
feat very hard and would not admit
until forced to do so that they had
lost out. They talk about contesting,
but If every ballot which was thrown
out was counted for Waterhouse he
would still have lost out There may
be contest for the seat won by Win
ner.
Some of the gloom which settled
over the Waterhouse camp was due
to the fact that about $4,000 which
was bet by the supporters of the
mayor was lost on the election. 1t
was something of a revelation to the
church loving people to learn that the
mayors supporters, the mayor being a
devout churchman, were betting by
the thousands, but such was the fact
The only brass band used by the
Farley people came out after victory.
The eXultant citizens paraded the
streets cheering and shouting, and the
best business men rejoiced at the pros
pect of prosperity, took victory as
joyously as lads and shouted and sung
with the best of them

GOODWIN MAKES
A GREAT SHYLOCK
SUPERB IN THE DIFFICULT
ROLE
Handles II In the Conversational Way
That startles One Used to the
Traditional DecIama-
tory Fashion

What to the discriminating will be
the one clearest gem Of purest ray
serene of all Nat Goodwins stay here
was his Interpretation of Shylock in
the trial scene of "The Merchant of
Venice" last night. Just as he aston
ished his followers last season In a
pathetic bit done i'm a way none be-
lieved possible with him, so in this
notable role he has given his admirers
a new vision of what he can do and
has quite reconciled them with his own
View-that he can play Shakespeare,
II he desires and will
Goodwin's Shylock is anything but
traditional; in fact 1t quite violates all
the canons of the stage. He doesn't
declame; he plays 1t in the most
natural fashion imaginable. He is ex-
tremely quiet he never rants; his Bit
terest investive is Missed, not shouted;
his excessive cruelty and hatred, as well
as his cringlng cowardice, are por-
trayed facially much more than they
are exploited In words He is a fine
exponent Of the present day art of in
dicating emotions as sane persons do,
not as actors think they should be, nor
as elocutionary masters order them
done. The consequence is that we have
a Jew whose very heart is barred to us
in a way that we of today can read;
we see his intensity of hate, his
strength of greed, his vengeance and
his sinister delight; the change in him
is clear to us. and his final note of
utter defeat really touches whereas In
most cases 1t is cause for rejoicing. In
a word, the whole role Is depicted with
a mastery skill that makes it stand
out as a miniature does amid a lot of
halftones
Miss Goodrich is not at all equal to
Portia-she is too immature. Her read
ing of the Mercy lines was not con-
Vincing. The rest of the cast were
adequate, though not notable. But
Nat Goodwin's reading of the Shylock
lines in evening dress would have been
treat well worth while.
Following this Mr.. Goodwin presented
his new comedy, "What Would a Gen
tleman Do?" 1t is clever skit not
startlingly new nor filled with anything
out of the ordinary run, but with a
pretty sentiment, and dainty love
story. Goodwin has the part of a
cockney who comes into much wealth,
desires to be a gentleman, enters high
class family to learn how, loves the
girl, gives her up to her former lover,
who in the end proves unworthy, and
thus he wins her after all. The part
fits the Goodwin style of humor well,
and is funny, never vulgar, gets ones
sympathies and will likely serve as we'll
as do many others for a Goodwin
vehicle of success.
Miss Goodrich, in the comedy, has
lovable part, which has several touches
of pathos, and she fills it most salts
factorily, as it calls for no especially
deep acting or thought. Neil O'Brien
has a good character part as an old
soldier turned butler. Suzette Jackson
is bright in the breezy girl role. The
others are up to requirements.
The curtain was an interminable
while In rising last night, it being we'll
on toward 8 o'clock before 1t went up.
The waits were long and the evening
proved tiresome to the small audience
in consequence.
