KINNEY AIDSHARRIMAN

Politician!; Connected with Money

King's Interests Instructed toKeep Clear of Coming

Election

VENICE, March 2.—This is a storycf the man behind the ready moneyand how he struck a bargain duringthe climax of the late financial pinchwith E. H. I arrlman which has en-listed that magnate's powers in airovement to make Venice of Americathe greatest pleasure resort on thePacific coast.

The man behind the ready moneywas Abbot Kinney, doge of Venice.He had just a Mttle short of one milliondollars cash In his safety deposit vaultright at the time when J. PicrpomMorgan came to the rescue of Wallstreet by engineering an anti-panic dealwhich dumped twenty-five millions Intothe laps of pantc-strlcken borrowersand saved the country from the moststupendous financial crisis In history.

Harrlman was desperately In needof funds, according to the story whichin vouched for by a late head of theI.os Angeles-Pacific sj'atem. Attorneysfor the road In Las Angeles were scout-ing for ready cash, two millions, andone of them, knowing of the Kinneyhoard for Just such an opportunity,went to the doge for a Harriman loan.

Abbot Kinney's pet hobby is Veniceor America. He has a long standinggrievance against the present city ad-ministration and his heart is set onreaving an entirely 1 new deal after theCcean Park city election April 13 next.He wants to develop Venice, build thepalatial hotel rr. "Windward avenue, thefnest bath house on the coast on theccean front* and have tent city ridi>. threatening ordinances passed by ahostile board of trustees.

According to The Herald's informantE H. Harrlman had never heard ofVenice of America. Developments ofthe Los Angeles-Pacific system at thisend has been left entirely in the handsc* Southern California lieutenants ofthe Southern Pacific magnate. But heneeded Klnney's $900,000.

The interest terms were not un-reasonable and Kinney merely askedthe Los Angeles-Pacific to keep outof the local election In April, Kinneyalso told Harrlman's agents of hisVenetian plans. They were interested.Harriman In turn became personallyinterested. The word came from theoast to keep out of the Ocean Parkelection fight.

Kinney, it U said, made request forthe Immediate standardizing of theVenice short line. The work Is nowIn hand and according to reports fromthe railroad headquarters will beruehed to completion In time for thecoming of the fleet to Santa Monicabay In April next.

It Is known positively that a cityofficial of Ocean Park, long a con-fidential political 'man for the Los An-geles-Pacific company, has received or-ders to keep hands off in the comingcity election. It'ls also reported herethat the same party has received aquiet tip tq make peace with the AbbotKinney people, and It will not surprisethose in the know here to learn thatthis man will once more be largelyI.1 control of the amusement enter-prises of the Kinne;- company, as hohas been In past years.

During the past month there was a dally average of 166 real estatetransfers, as against 159 In January and 145 In December. A comparisonwith any two months since September will not show so great a gain asthat of February over January.

The monthly real estate bulletin compllad by the Fielding J. Stilsoncompany, which was issued yesterday, is of Interest to every line of busi-ness, showing as It does thai the return of prosperity Is at hand. Of coursethere is a large amount of business which is not included In this report,especially in the sale of ranch property. But to the doubter the report willcarry its own convictions.

The Stilson bulletin, showing the business done during February,with a comparison for the four preceding months, is as follows:

WILL SUMMONTHE MAYOR

Free Speech Agitation May Assume

Large Proportions —More Arrests

and Arraignments Are

* Scheduled for Today

John Merr, who runs a harness man-ufactory at 1211 Central avenue andl.as lived in Los Angeles ten years, wasarrested at Seventh and Grand avenuelast night charged with speaking inpublic without a permit from the boardof police commissioners.

This makes the twenty-fourth arrestsince the campaign for "free speech"was instituted by the Socialists andothers who declare they stand for theprinciple of keeping the constitutionoi the United States inviolate.

There was no excitement when th"?officers came. The crowd was a good-

natured one. Shouts of "Free speech:"were heard all over the crowd.

After the arrest was made, or ac-complished, the crowd marched to Mer-cantile place, four or five hundred sing-

ing the Marseillaise as they marched.

Speakers ArraignedJ. J. Hioks and G. W. Woodbey, ar-

rested Saturday night for speaking onthe street without having obtained apermit from the board of police com-missioners, asked time to plead whenarraigned in Police Justice Frederiek-ron'p court yesterday morning. They

v.ere allowed until today, but the jus-tice then asked the attorneys If de-murrers similar to those in the similarcases now on the docket would be en-

tered to the complaints. He wasanswered in the affirmative.

"The demurrers are overruled," saidi.he court. "The cases may as well go

to trial."The defendants then pleaded not

guilty and asked fir jury trials. Thecases were set for March 24 and 25.

Chief Kern saya the arrest of speak-ers will continue and says he will ar-range to have a squad of police on handXt future meetings.

Socialists say this ooes not discour-age them, as three hundred men andwomen have pledged themselves tospeak on the streets until they areallowed their rights under the stateand national constitution.

"The tolice changed their tacticsSaturday night," said Cloudesley Johns,secretary of the county Socialist com-mittee. "They showed great reluc-tance in arresting Mrs. Shuck and theyused their clubs in a way that gave

the impression they hoped to provokean outbreak. We had cur men amongthe crowd strongly urging peace andWC succeeded in getting the assembly

to disperse without giving the officers

a flhadow of an excuse for any violence."Just why the police or others shoul'l

look for trouble at a Socialist meetingfaiy more than at a Salvation armyor a Democratic meeting Is a mystery.We am law-abiding citizens. Thoaopatrolmen are wage workers the sameas we are. Their Interests are identicalwith ours. We have friends amongthem. They are doing their duty andwe sympathize with them. We try toKeep the crowds orderly and keep tlwunthinking from hooting and jeering atthe police. We do not discourageshouting for free speech. That seemsto be a slogan adopted by all thosewho are in this campaign.

"We shall < a ry our cases to. thsh'.gheflt courtr. We Insist on the cityofficials of Los Angeles obeying thelaw—the constitution of California andof the United States, which they aresworn to uphold.

"Tonight a different squad of policemade the arrest and not a harsh wordwas spoken cr a man or woman inthe crowd of over a thousand wasjostled. We had Instructed the crowdnot to hoot or jeer. They shoutedfor 'Free speech,' but everybody wasgood-natured and well satisfied, for themeeting continued about half an houibefore we were interrupted.

"We are going to hold a mass meet-Ing at Simpson auditorium Thursday,at which we Jh.ill have another sur-rrise for those who are resisting ourdemands for rights of free speech.

"We expect to have at least threehundred cases in court, or .more ifnecessary, before we have finished, be-cause we are determined to speak onthe streets from now on until electionday.

"We shall subpoena city officials, In-cuiiing the mayor and the police com-rr lasioners, to testify In all of thesecases."
