was crowded until late at night. WIND
ward avenue and the Plaza were Il
seething mass of humanity from late
saturday evening until well on into the
night Sunday, many thousands of per-
sons having arrived early to spend the
week end. Every hotel and roomlnS

cars to Los Angeles, unable to secure
lodgings. In the villa city alone there
were 125 tents rented after sundoWn
and the managers were kept at WORK

The greatest rush was at the bath
house. With several thousand extra
suits and large number of new dress
ing rooms that have been recently add
ed the employees were compelled to hold
long lines of would-be bathers until
their wants could be supplied by the
surrender of the equipment of others
who were through.
Everywhere the crowds congregated,
but the day was not marred by an ac-
cident, with the exception of an insig'
nificant collision between an automo-
bile and the locomotive of the minia-
ture railroad. No one was hurt. CHIEF

extra officers, enforced the tirecrackef
ordinance to the letter, allowing the
shooting of these dangerous toys only

BOY TAKES PLUMBER
FROM CHILD THIEVES
LITTLE GIRLS DESP0ILED OF
PURSE THEY STOLE
Woman Robbed of Handbag and JuVe-
nile Bandits in Turn Robbed
by Lad Who Saw
Crime
Esnecial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, July 3.-One of the
oldest cases with which the police here
have had to deal for some time was
that last night in which three young
children were involved as amateur
hold-up artists, one of whom took from
the other two their stolen plunder.
Mrs. ]. w. Smith, wife of local
contractor, was standing near the
roller coaster on the Strand last night,
when she felt a tug at her arm. The
jerk was caused by the sudden Selling
of her purse. When she looked around
no one was in sight, The ticket seller
at the roller coaster informed her two
little girls had seized the purse. The
police were notified and given a de-
scription of the girls An hour later
they were discovered buying eoId
drinks at a Pike stand. They were
identified by the ticket seller at the
roller coaster as the ones seen taking
the purse.
The girls, Ada and Mamie Gentry,
aged and II years, said they had
taken the purse, but that after they
had taken 80 cents from it boy came
along and took the purse from them,
saying he had seen them steal 1t and
would return it to the woman to whom
it belonged.
They did not know the boy, but gave
such a good description of him that
the officers located him this morning.
He gave his name as Willie Feldman,
and, the police say, admitted taking
the bag, extracting a dime from it and
then hiding it under a garbage can on
the Pike. 1t was recovered there today.
Mrs. Smith was so glad to get back
the purse and to find several pieces of
jewelry and some papers which it con-
tanned that she said she would not ask
that the children be prosecuted.

SANTA MONICA, July 4.-Many hun
dreds of persons travelled to this city in
automobiles today for the purpose of
inspecting the course laid out for the
races which will be pulled off next
Saturday. In addition, the railroads
brought their quota of interested spec
tators, who roamed over the track and
sought vantage points in the grand
stands, with view of selecting in adj
vance the best place from which to
observe the contests.
The beaches were crowded with holi-
day crowds and the arrivals last even
ing quickly took up every available bed
that could be secured, so that many
passed the night on the sands of the
beach and in the railroad waiting
rooms. A small grass fire started by
the irrepressible small boy and his fire
cracker called the department out this
forenoon. Aside from this there has
not been an accident reported to the
police.
Linda Vista park accommodated large
crowds in the afternoon, while tile
Municipal band gave its daily concert,
and the new pier was lined with
anglers. Several thousand persons
journeyed to the long wharf at Port

which occupy the foothills.
Tomorrow there will be no formal
celebration here. The contestants for
speed honors in the automobile road
races will take their practice spins on
the course between the hours of and
10 in the morning as usual, and there
are indications that there will be a
large number of spectators out tomor-

FISH BOARD DEMANDS
SUM HELD BY COUNTY
COMMISSION CLAIMS FOR
FEITED BAIL
Money Sacrificed by Man Who Shot
Doves Out of Season Causes
Clash Between Au-
thorities
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, July "A
fight is on between the California fish
commission and the county for the pos
session of $50 which was deposited by
a violator of the game laws for shoot
ing doves out of season, but who failed
to appear for trial, the bail being de-
clared forfeited.
County Game Warden Vale has filed
with the clerk of the board of super
visors a demand for the money, which
action was taken on Instructions from
his superior officers, who said the
money should be forwarded to Sacra-
mento as part of the fund of the game
commission.
District Attorney Bryne and Justice
of the Peace Thomas, the latter of
whom the money was deposited with,
and who declared it forfeited and
turned it over to the county, look on
the money as county property and re-
fuse to give it up.
Mr.. Bryne holds that the state law
means exactly what it says when ii
provides that moneys deposited as bail
and then defaulted shall be turned into
the county treasury He states: "If
the commission gets that $50 it will
have to bring suit, but 1 am certain
that the courts would not construe the
law in favor of the commission when
it would be impossible to give it such
a construction"
The commission. however, holds that
the bail money was deposited as the
result of the game laws violation, and
that no matter whether the guilty
party defaulted or paid his fine the
money should be turned over to it.
The supervisors will deal with the
question at their next meeting.

DECLINES TO PERMIT SLOT
MACHINES TO BE OPERATED

OCEAN PARK, July 4.-The story
rumored on the streets last evening to
the effect that there had been a secret
meeting of the board of trustees and
that action had been taken toward re-
storing the slot machines in this city
brought forth many expressions of in
dignation from interested citizens who
stated that they would be present at
the next meeting of the board and enter
strong protests against the action.
On investigation the rumor resolved
itself into the fact that members of the
city departments had been approached
by persons interested in the slot ma
chimes and the proposal made that they
be allowed to run the machines over the
Fourth of July, causing a temporary
suspension of the ordinance.
1t is reported on good authority that
the officials almost without exception
emphatically denied the application and
asserted that the ordinance meant busi-
ness and would be enforced on all days,
irrespective of who was hurt by the
measure. The fact that the many ma
chimes are not in evidence tends to
confirm this report.

DEAF HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH

If deaf people had the same dread of
photographers that photographers have
of them they would not often have
their pictures taken. The artist dis
likes them, not because of their in
trinity, but because they take poor
pictures.
"Why do they show up so badly in
photograph" asked a visitor in whose
presence complaint had been made.
'I don't know why" was the reply.
"but they do Judging by their express
sion at that time, they must be ex-
pecting the camera to go off at crit
ical moment with a Fourth of July

SECOND MILITIA COMPANY
is SURE TO BE ORGANIZED

PASADENA. July 4.-Efforts to form
a second company of militia in this
city are meeting with success, ana II
is believed that the required number
of Young men will be signed up for
Company B within a few weeks.
Eighteen have already signit1ed their
willingness to take part in the work
and it is expected that South Pasa-
dena will send a block of at least
twenty or twenty-five members, since
residents of that municipality have in
the past had no opportunity to enter
the militia.
A special endeavor is being made to
get Throop and high school boys into
the company. Many of them are now
out of the city. but on their return will
welcome the chance offered.
Company B was formerly stationed
in San Diego, but later mustered into
the Coast artillery. and the vacant
company then was offered to Los An
geles. AS that city did not show any
interest in the subject the vacancy was
turned over to Pasadena to fill.
