Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Guy

office Mr. Eddy is especially in touch
with the destitute wives and children
of men who abuse and desert their
families, and whose only recourse is
the Justice court and the penal statute
regarding failure to provide. 1t was
stated that ten or fifteen such cases
come to this department every week
and that about % per cent of the wives
are beaten and bruised. Working girls
and women are misled by employment
agencies to pay their fees and then are
sent to far away and fictitious adj
dresses, and workingmen are also
gulled in the same way. Other lines

dollars in providing facilities for ham
ding the throngS who are expected TO
take advantage of the 25-cent round
trip rate between the Kinney break
water and the warships.
Arrangements are being made with
the Los Angeles Pacific company
whereby tickets will be placed on sale
from Fourth and Hill streets to the
warships and return.
The news this morning that the war
ships are within hailing distance of
southern California caused much in
terest along Crescent bay. While it
has not been definitely settled that the
warships are to anchor in Santa Mon
lea bay, the authorities are going right
ahead with full confidence that at least
part of the big fleet will visit Santa
Monica harbor.
The Kinney breakwater landing is
being extended nearly 100 feet to the
south end of the pier. Windward pier
is being built straight out 70 the land
ing, doing away with the curve which
heretofore has made it necessary to go
to the life saving station and then
south to reach the landing. Piles are
being removed so as to permit the
landing boats to make a continuous
trip under the Windward and around
the life saving station, instead of back
ing and turning around the south end
as before.
Building Superintendent Gray of the
Kinney company stated this morning
that when the improvements were
completed 100000 could be handled
daily between the shore and the ships.
At the offices of the Kinney COM
pany and of Fraser & Jones in Ocean
Park it was learned that assurances
have already been received which
make it certain the greatest crowds
ever seen in the Crescent bay towns
will be here to greet the warships.
Vacant houses in the beach towns
are already few and far between. The
proprietors of the new hotel De Novo
are rushing work night and day to be
ready for guests who have already en-
gagged ahead every room in the house.
A fine cafe and lobby are being fin
ished on the ground floor of the old
Windward. In Ocean Park all the
hotels report prospects of the biggest
spring and summer business ever
known.
