taurant keepers with sharp stick, and
promise to keep things stirring for some
time at least in the prosecuting line
The restaurant men who have recently
been arrested Tor violation of the law
claim that the W. @. T. U. is back o.
the movement. A meeting was held in
the M. E. church this afternoon for the
special purpose of discussing the local
situation, which was largely attended,
Mrs. ]. NJ. Glass presided. and much in
terest was taken in the meeting by all
present. DR.. Taylor OF San Francisco,
q prominent mark in temperance, was
among those present, and addressed the,
gathering upon the necessity OF taking
some action in regard to enforcing the
ordinance regulating the sale of wine
9E6 beer with meals. 1t is stated that
liquor can be procured at all hours. ard
that at some places something stronger
than light beverages is served.
]. M. Glass spoke on the same sub
ject. He favored united effort on the
part of all the churches and suggested
that union meeting of all churches be
held in the tabernacle one week fron
Sunday. No definite action was taken,
but committee was appointed to visit
the various church prayer meetings in
the evening and bring the necessity OF
the enforcement of the laws bs fore
them.
The police claim they are willing 70
make arrests in every case where there
is any chance of securing conviction,
but the evidence is almost impossible to
obtain. The action of the W. O. L. u.
revives the old fight against allowing
hotels and restaurants to sell wine and
beer with meals which created such
disturbance in the city council several
years ago and finally resulted in this
election of liberal board of trustees.
which meant that the privilege should
begranted. An iron-clad ordinance was
passed regulating the sale to only four
hours out of the "a and providing that
q 20-cspt meal must accompany it. This.
it was thought. would satisfy everyone.
but the old trouble has bobbed up again
and some interesting developments may
DO looked for soon.
THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
The city dads of South Pasadena sre
struggling with the electric road frcns
chise. At session last evening which
was protracted till near midnight, a
new franchise for the electric road was
finally agreed upon. The original franz
chise granted the company was rendered
useless by the change OF route and an
entire new franchise was made out.
The company wanted several other ad-
vantages not incorporated in the first
grant, and O mutual agreement was
reached.
The change in route brings the road
directly east from the Garvanza bridge
paralleling the Santa Fe tracks to Pasa-
dena, and thence porth to Mission and
east on that atreet. The company con-
templates big push in the constructing
line during the next few weeks.
The South Pasadena council also con-
aidered the application of the Southern
Pacific company for franchise through
the city, being part of its "would-bs
extension" into this city. The council
at first thought it would be the proper
thing to limit the rate of fare to %
cents to Los Angeles and return. bat the
railroad representation speedily con-
WINGED them of the error of their way,
and the clause was stricken out prior to
passage.
