PASADENA, Nov. %. - The regular
winters influx of t-amps are getting in
their york in this vicinity, as the recent
cases of barn burning have shown. and
now some of them have turned their at
tention to the more profitable occupation
of burgIarizing residences. daylight
burglary was committed yesterday at the
house of Mr.. Chittenden OIL the corner
of Vernon and Grove, where the thiev es
secured about $50 worth of plumber. con-
ssting principally OF jewelry and articles
of adornment.
Another burglary was that at the resi-
dence of Nathaniel Hodge, on North
RAYMOND avenue near Washington. II ere
the spoils secured we're worth only about
$40 or SIS as far as their actual monetary
value was concerned, though the family
valued them much higher, on account OF
the fact that the articles were principally
gifts from friends.
1t is to be hoped that some better
method Of dealing with the tramps ana
Migrants will be put inlo operation this
winter than tho costly and Intellectual one
Of boarding them in dleness at the coun-
tvs expense after numerous officials have
had their fee pills out of the apprehen-
sion and arraignment Uf the easy-going
tramp tourists. The city council is to
consider the matter at the next session
and if there are any of the over burdened
taxpayers who have suggestions to offer
as to the best method of dealing with the
problem they are invited to bring them
forward.
