tered into between Thomas Hughes,

desires to protest against the granting
of the application above referred to,
unless the same be granted upon the
application of said city of long Beach,
and that the applicant for this privil
ege be referred to the city of Long
Beach, their lessors, for any privilege
they may desire in this regard."

of $5000 is subscribed between now and
Monday morning next the desired con
vention hall site on "West Colorado

west side citizens (none others have
been asked to contribute to this pur
pose) have raised among themselves

for tomorrow night at the board of
trade rooms to consider the raising of
this money.
He desires every west sider who has
not yet contributed or who is willing to

the city at large to raise the money for
the building. : . ,\ ■

ASK FOR CHANGE OF VENUE
Redondo Man Would Have His Trial
'• In Home Town, Not In
Pasadena
Special to The Herald,
PASADENA, Sept. 6.— When George
W. Hall was arraigned before Justice
Congdon this forenoon he was accom
panied by Judge Rosslter, his attorney,
and demanded a change of venue, so
that the case might be heard in Re
dondo, where the offense Is alleged to
have been committed and where most
of the witnesses live.
The court was not unwilling to have
the 'case thus disposed of, and a de
cision will be reached Saturday morn
ing at 10:30. Hall was required to give
ball in the sum of $250, although ar
rangements were made for a smaller
amount If cash ball was offered.

wife's charges against him, but ex
hibits a badly bruised eye himself,
which It Is hinted may be offered In
evidence when the case comes to trial.
The family have lived in Redondo for
about nine months.

Pasadena's vTlley Hunt Club May
Use Shakespeare Club House
Six Months
Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 6.— At a meeting
of the board of directors of the Valley
Hunt club tonight steps were taken
looking to the leasing of the Shake
speare club house for a term of six
months.
This will provide for the regular
gathering of the club members twice a
month In a convenient and pleasing
manner, as there Is no finer-place in the
city for such social functions as those
given by the exclusive Valley Hunt
people.
It has been arranged to hold a pic
nic at an early date, at which time the
future of the club will be considered.
One thing is certain and that is that
should a suitable offer for the grounds
of the club be made at this time the
new club house will be erected on a less
expensive site. The grounds are valued
at about $35,000.
President R. I. Rogers has a gunny
sack of silver knives and forks and
spoons picked up in the ruins of the
burned club house on Colorado court
and will probably distribute them
among the members as. souvenirs.
Hotel del Coronado excels them all.

SNAKES SCARE THE PORTER
"Aquatic Marvel" Has Them in His
Grip and Negro Finds
Them Suddenly
Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.-A suit case full
of Texas bull snakes gave a negro por
ter .on the . northbound Louisville &
Nashville train the scare of his life
between Belleville and East St. Louis
recently.
The snakes were traveling in the
company of Bert Swan, an "aquatic
marvel," who 'does a death-defying
tank act, battling with huge E-. 5 India
reptiles. He had caught them In Texas
and was taking them to Hot Springs.
Swan and the snakes were riding in
tho smoking compartment of one of the
chair cars. The porter discovered that
there were airholes In the suit case.
"Got a dawg in there, I guess, boss,"
he > said by way of Interrogation.
"Yes," said Swan. "Like to see him?"
The porter dotes on dogs. He said
he would.
The aquatic marvel opened the suit
case. Seven bull snakes, each ': seven
feet long, opened their mouths seven
Inches wide and \hlssed soulfully.
"Oh, Lord!" yelled the negro, stam
peding to the coach ahead. He could
not be coaxed into the chair car after
that and tho brakeman had 'to attend

Special to The Kerald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.— A, great crowd.'
excited equally by surprise and ad

at Sixth avenue and Twenty-third
street yesterday afternoon. One heard
such comments from the shoppers as:
"She is a . heroine!"
"How brave she Is!"
"She dares to appear thus!"
"There is no other woman like her!"
Only one person, whose elbows were
as sharp as her chin, sounded a dis
cordant note. She cried, assiduously:
"Her arms are misshapen, ■ per
haps!"
Curious ones, on the fringe of the
crowd, asked each other:
"Who is she? What has she done?
Why do they acclaim her?"
"Do you not see?" exultantly shouted
a man, who thrust himself out of the
crowd— "she is the only woman In
New York with nerve enough to wear
long sleevee!" '
"Why have you changed your opinion
in that matter?"
"My dear sir," answered Senator
Sorghum, "I am far too progressive in
my ideas to hold on to an out-of-date
opinion when' I find I can replace It
