PASADENA, Sept. 26.-Today eight
more arrests were made in the gambling
cases, the committee having sent for
Constable Newell of Lamanda Park to
serve the warrants, since Marshal Bu-
ohanan had discharged Deputy Mckeck-
ney Immediately after he arrested Will
lam Thomas yesterday afternoon. Those
who were arrested today are charged with
participating in the games carried on at
the gambling joints. They are /. U.
Parker, William Test, Peter Peterson,
Charles Newell, Arthur G. Saunders,
William Fuller, Hance Turner and Frank
Walsh. 1t is said that more arrests are to
follow tomorrow, as we'll as quite num-
Der of violators OF the liquor ordin ance.
As for the wild rumor that the cigar
stands are to be pulled for the nickel-in
the-slot machines and the dice throwing
that form part of their attractions. that
is authoritatively denied. The commit
tee has quite enough on its hands to at
tend to the more serious cases. In regard
to the arrest of Thomas and the matter
OF acting upon a search warrant by Dep
uty Marshall McKeckney and the imme-
diate discharge of that officer by the mar
shall, there is considerable difference of
opinion. The marshal says that his dep
uty had no right to act upon such an i'm
portant matter as a search warrant with
GU consulting him, since he is under
bonds and is liable for the acts of his
deputies. On the other hand it can hard
ly be claimed that the deputy was acting
Illegally in serving the warrant when
PLACID in his hands for that purpose. and
the committee claims that there was rea-
son for believing that it would be more
promptly and speedily attended to by
placing it in the hands of the officer
whom they chose. In fact it is openly
stated that two officers had refused to
serve the warrants upon one pretext and
another, before they were placed in the
hands of Deputy McKeckney. When. in
addition to this it is known that the
search warrant was made out upon the
sworn statement of another party who
hal seen the game going on there and
had seen the whole paraphernalia. kit
ty" and all, and the whole game in pro-
gress, and the justice handed the regu-
1arly made out search warrant to the
deputy marshal to serve, it seems rather
odd to the plain citizen, uninitiated in
the mysteries of the law books, that he
could not be allowed to act upon it with
out being summarily bounced for doing
what would seem to De his duty. OF
those arraigned today. Newell is to plead
at 10 O'clock tomorrow, Test at pm.
Saturday, Peterson at 8 tomorrow Parker
at 8 tomorrow ar d Fuller at 10 tomor-
row.

Vernon Lewis has been heard from
since arriving in Johannesburgh, South
Africa, and states that money is as free as
air, almost, IN that land of the Hotten-
tots and diamonds. He thinks the pros
poets are most encouraging for him to
absorb some of it, but he doesn't say
how much fever he expects to capture.
That seems to be one of the chief draw
backs OF the African Ell Dorado.
E. q. Webster, president of the Los An
geles and Pasadena Electric Railway
company, who has just returned from
Chicago, reports that he has been sue
cessful in selling the bonds OF tn CON-
pany and that matters are now ready for
pushing the work on the Altadena extern
sion. The prospect of franchise being
awarded to Professor Lowe for a road
over practically the same course seems
to be thorn IN the flesh OF the old CON-
pany. Colonel Green, Mr.. McNally and
other Altadena citizens put their money
into the road. ana as these gentlemen
are also stockholders in the Mount Lowe
road, he does not see how it is to Pro-
lessor loves interest to antagonize
them.
