SAN PEDRO
Intimidation That Did Not Result a.
Anticipated

SAN PEDRO, March 27.-The schooner
Reporter was to have sailed this morning
and it was apparent that the union had
marshaled its utmost strength and was
determined to thy the power of intimida-
tiQn against the non-union crew to be put
on board. About II O. clock the march be-
gan from the Office of Mr.. Davis, the as
socatop shipping master. The crew was
escorted by three officers, besides the
shipping master and boarding house
keeper. Upon reaching the Southern Pa
cific wharf detachment of four union men
joined the procession. and at almost
every step the crowd was augmented until
it became bowling, shrieking mob of
about one hundred At the crl ticsal mo-
ment the escort was strengthened by the
arrival of several prominent citizens and
two extra officers. Outside much wild
gesticulation and some vigorous pulling
and hauling, no physical violence was
offered. The union succeeded in intimi-
dating one man to leave. but the shipping
master had taken the precaution to start
with an extra man. thus placing full
crew. The association forces regard the
result as complete victory.

THREE ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANIES
The City to Be Well Lighted In the
Future

Future
PASADENA March 27.-From present
appearances Pasadena is to be well served
in the matter of electric lights in the
near future. For the past five or six
years the city has got along very nicely
with but one plant which has furnished
light for both private and municipal use,
but now it seems we are to have two
more companies, all in a bunch. Some
time ago f.. r. Bradley made an applica-
ton to the City Council for permission to
construct and operate an electric light
plant The franchise. as asked for, was
duly advertised for sale and bids received.
1t turned out, however, that Braley did
not secure the franchise, f. Groenen-
dyke bidding $50 more for the privilege.
1t was and still is matter of doubt as to
what Mr.. Groenendyke proposed to do
with the franchise, but 1t is now stated
that the Consolidated Electric Company
is back of the bid and they will at once
commence operations.
Referring to this the Star says: From
information that is quite reliable, it may
be stated that he (Mr. Groenendyke) will
assign it to the Pasadena and Los An
geles Electric Railway Company. If this
Is done the company may utilize it to put
in some lights, or they may expect to
make it chiefly valuable for the purpose
of furnishing heat and power. Meantime,
there is another application before the
Council for franchise that will allow
Messrs. Braley and Glass to bid again, so
that it may turn out that we shall have
three electric lighting companies in the
field.
The present company has ordered ma
chinery for an enlarged plant and an in
creased service, which insures an i'm
proved system and probably cheaper
rates. The council does not show a dis
position tofgrant franchises that will
result in encum bering the streets with
poles and wires.

RECORD OF A DAY SOUTH OF THE TEHACHEPI

but that much more time is being con.
sumed in the work than was at first sup
posed would be necessary. The gentle
men who are pushing this project through
have endeavored to reach completion at
the earliest possible moment. Many
things have conspired to delay the work,
but the management Is confident that
cars will be running in less than three
weeks time.
The viaduct. which is to be constructed
over the Terminal track in South Pasa-
dena, is the cause of part of the delay but
will prove great safeguard against &C.
cidents and is well worth the cost in de-
lay of completion.
kilograms announcing the shipment of
the last OF the cars which are to be used
on the road, were received yesterday by
Colonel l.. p Hansey from Philadelphia.
The completion OF this system means
much to Pasadena in many ways and the
city can well afford to exercise little
leniency if necessary toward the men who
have the work in hand.

CASES AGAINST GAMBLERS
Justice Owens Discharges Whipple,
Williams and Burch
They Were Alleged to Be the Conductors
Of Faro Game on South
Main Street

The prosecution of Messrs. Whipple,
Williams and Burch, charged with con-
Quoting faro game at 126 South Main
street, has been dropped. The cases pend
ing against them were dismissed by
Justice Owens yesterday, and the bonds
men OF the three defendants were exoner-
ated.
The reason that is given for the dis
missal OF the charges is that the prosecut-
ing witness and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
K. Baumann, have disappeared and they
cannot be found. When the cases were
first set for trial the witnesses were on
hand, but when the day Of the trial
arrived they were non est. Justice Owens
then continued the hearing and directed
the officers to search foi Baumann and
wife. The search was made but it was
unavailing. They could not be found.
The attorney for the defendants yester-
day arose in court and stated that he
wished to deny the statement that had
been made that the festive Baumann had
been sent out of town by his clients. He
assured the court that Messrs. Whipple,
Williams and Buch had nothing to do with
the disappearance OF the witness and
his wife. Justice Owens replied that
such was undoubtedly the case and then
he winked his other eve.
Baumann was cook at the Hotel Bal
moral at Pasadena. He was out much in
the evening and his wife grew suspicious
and followed him. She trailed him to
1928 South Main street, where he satisfied
a desire to gamble by playing faro AS
certaining this, the wife entered on a cru
SADIE against gambling and the result was
that Baumann swore to a complaint
against Whipple, Buch and Williams, and
they were arrested. Shortly after this the
guests of the Hotel Balmoral went with
out their breakfast one morning. Bau-
mann had passed in the night and neither
Los Angeles nor Pasadena has known him

yesterday. after having been lodged and

pense. Upon the book the charge of Wis
iting an opium JOINT appeared against
Carpenter. but it was decided that it
would be best not to pros ecute him, as
there was absolutely no evidence against
him.
Tuesday night bold, bad raid was
made on one of the numerous joints in
Chinatown. The raiders were Officer
Ritch. deputy sheriff and deputy con-
stable named Jones' The Chinaman who
conducted the joint escaped. The only
smoker OF the drug found there let him
self out OF the window. Somebody had
to be arrested, and as Carpenter had
wandered in and was examining the pipe
and attachments, he was promptly de.
tanned and jailed. This was his reward
for being too curious.
