He wrote constantly. frequently never

works he created in his bare earret, but
nowhere could he find recognition.

THRILLERS At VENICE
Scenic Railway, Bath House and
Other Beach Attractions
Magnet for Crowds

VENICE, May 1.-Venice was over
run today with the usual big crowd of
pleasure seekers from Los Angeles
and other nearby points. Windward
avenue was lined with a double row
of automobiles, and all day long the
pier and ocean walk were thronged
with people. Not many went into the
surf, on account of the wind that was
blowing, but the big bathhouse plunge
was we'll patronized. So many wanted
to ride on the scenic railway. which
seems to give all the thrills advertised,
Judging by the yells emitted by those
who take the hair-raising trip, that
they had to stand in line to get tickets.
The cars were kept running at full
capacity all afternoon and until quite
late at night. The aerial railway was
the object of much interest to many
more timid persons, who watched cars
dashing down precipitous dips and
around short curves from the safe
vantage ground of the sandy beach.
There were only two arrests made.
One was a plain drunk, who was
cared for until he sobered up, and the
other was the owner of an automobile
with which he was exceeding the speed
limit. He made a satisfactory excuse
and was allowed to 60.

1870 YEAR OLD CHAIR
FOR LONG BEACH BABY
Infant Will Sit Around in What
Was Property of MasSa-
ChuSettS Character

LONG BEACH, May IAN old
hickory high chair" made by Capt.
Abiiah Burbank of Millbury, Mass,
about 1850, has come into the possess
sion of DR.. Glenn c. Burbank of this
city, a direct descendant of Captain
Abiiah. The first occupant of the
chair was Caleb Burbank, afterward
a major general, who was in the prime
of his life the wealthiest man in Mill
bury. distinguished looking man of
military appearance. His portrait,
done in oil, still hangs on the wall of
the DInlbury public library.
Through John c. Crane, Millbury
geneologist Dr. Glenn Burbank Sc
cured a copy of the pamphlet read be-
fore the Worcester Society of Antiquity
in 1895, in which the story was told of
how Major General Burbank dis
tributed his wealth with a free hand,
Iut was reduced to poverty by signing
his name to certain papers and by
giving too lavishly, He found home
with Tyrus Marsh, a church deacon,
and later bequeathed the high chair
and his iron arm chair, his only re-
naming possessions, to Marsh's daugh-
ter, Mrs Leonard Spaulding.
Mrs. Spaulding sent the chair to DR..
Burbank at his request, and when the
relic, with its split bottom hickory seat,
has been repaired in a local carpenter
shop by the supplying of missing
rung, DIR. Burbank's infant son, who
is a namesake of the major general,
will occupy it in the family home on
Last Ocean avenue. The new rung
is to be made to resemble as closely
as possible the others which were used
in originally building the chair.
