Prior to the adjournment of court
Judge Lcnnon ordered the jury into the
custody of the sheriff and arranged for
accommodations at a local hotel until
the end of the trial.
This is the first time that Judge i.cn
non has ever ordered a jury into cus
tody, and this fact, coupled with his
statement yesterday thai he did not
intend to do so unless unusual circum
etanees should arise, led to rumors that
i reports had been received concerning
jury tampering.

The only witnesses examined during
the day were Robert N. Wood, the
young Salem farmer who was swindled
out of 1800 in the gausalito fake pool

he supposedly had won in the pool
room, and then told how he had parted
■with the $900 to Abbot) and his com
panions In the pool room enterprise
The cross-examination of WOOd was
very brief, Flanneiys chief counsel
expressing his belief in the truth of
the story told by the witness.

returned, and another recess was taken
until 3:10. Taylor was then present,

continuance was ordered, Boyd left
at once for San Francisco in company
•with Harry Wilbur, a detective, who

Illinois Legislator Tries to Escape
Bribery Inquiry
SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 13.—Talk
or go to Jail tor contempt of court. |
That is the situation Representative
Michael E. Link of Mitchell faced late
this afternoon for repeated refusals to
testify before the Sangamon county
grand jury In the legislative bribery
investigation. He was arrested and
furnished bonds of $500 for his appear
ance in the Sangamon county circuit
court Monday morning to show why
he should not be jailed for contempt.
When Link was taken before the
grand jury he refused to talk, State's
Attorney Burke hustled him before
Judge Robert B. Shirley of the circuit
court and secured an order, of immu
nity for him.
Again they went before the grand
jury and again Link was mum. Once
more Link was taken before the court.
Burke wanted the legislator sent to
: jail immediately tor contempt of court,
as Fudge Shirley had entered the or
der of immunity.
The. court finally entered the order
for Link's appearance Monday, when
the creaking of jail doors may break
the silence,

"He is a young man," said Dr.
Ooodspeed, "about 33 years old, but ho
lias distinguished himself by his re

VENICE FACING AN ERA OF
PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY
Through the selection of three trus
tees pledged to the cause of Good Gov
ernment, at the biennial elections held
last month, Venice is facing a future
of record-breaking progress and pros
perity, it «as a young men's ticket
that the voters Indorsed, and the three
new members of the city government
represent the finest type of active and
energetic business men of tri«d and
known worth to the city of their choice,
The fact that the Abbut Kiiiney com
pany heartily Indorsed the successful
candidates chosen by the Good Govern
ment league, Is a guarantee, in itself.
that the largest interests in Venice,
will continue development work on an
extensive scale. And when the Kinney
company is prospering, all the smaller
concessionaries and business houses
beneiit proportionately.
Economy in the conduct of the af
fairs of a city is as necessary as in
the proper administration of a house
hold, and the platform upon which
Trustees Holbrook, Stamps and L.Ol
-ena wen- elected, includes in its par
agraphs all that is best fo the wel
fare ot a community. With the as
surance that every dollar spent by the
municipality will bring in a full equiv
alent I"i' the tax payer's money, local
business men and capitalists are pre
paring for an expansion of their In
terests which they a* confident, will
follow the mighty wave of progress
which was started by tin- selection of
sound young business men to control
the city for the ensuing: four yens.
In the first Quarter of the current
year there has been tremendous act
ivity in building operations in Ven
ive and now with tin- assurance of a
liberal, progressive and business-like
administration in the civic government,
investors are freely improving their
property and seeking to utilize capital
in large or small amounts, in the firm
confidence that the city of canals is
confronted by a season of unexampled
prosperity.
Although not yet five years old, Yen-
Ice easily ranks first among all of the
resort communities along the Pacific
coast. The mammoth pier behind the
Abbot Kinney breakwater, contains a
bewildering variety of attractions, both
entertaining and instructive The Yen
. luartum is a never-ending source
of education and amusement to young
and old while the huge auditorium, the
ship cafe, the magnificent dancing pa
vilion and a dozen mirth-provoking
concessions, including the Joy wheel
of recent installation, all serve to de
light and divert the big throngs of
merry-makers who come on pleasure
bent.
The Venice bathhouse is equipped
with the largest indoor plunge in the
world, while the canal system, with
its graceful gondolas, canoes, launches
and other small craft, have no dup
licates in the entire country.
The newest attraction, which lias
just been completed, is the monster
scenic railway, constructed at a cost
of more than $SO,OOO, between the Wind
ward avenue pier and the Venie bath
house. The rides upon this thrilling
aerial railway are said to bo the most
exhilarating experiences Imaginable.
Something tike $150,000 has been ex
pended In Venice thus far this sea
gon in substantial development work,
and now that the municipal elections
have come to a triumphant conclusion
under the cause of Good Government,
confidence reigns supreme and Vene
tians are a unit in predicting a growth
of their city which will surpass any
thing hitherto seen in this* southland
of wonderful development.

playing of the McDowell sonata. "Tra
glea" "as to my mind the best thing
she has done this year. The last two
movements especially were magnificent,
and the tragic note of the Largo was
strongly enfoieed, ami WAS most con
vincing. The eroiea. movement follow
ing was also splendid, and the Inter
pretation throughout this number was
masterly.
The program was more varied than
other! she has given here, but it «tui
left something to'be desired In the
matter of arrangement. Thi* tn only
a trifling detail, imt playing su< h aa
tiers last night, demands that every
attendant circumstance should be of
the best that nothing may mar in the
