Star, reiterating the usual misstate-
ments of q morning paper. with some
embellishments, concerning the meeting
of the North Pasadena Bryan club, and
the address of S. A. Waldron. The state
mcnts of Mr. Waldron are SO garbled as
to be unrecognizable, and In the matter
Of the Kissing that was done at the
meeting the true facts In the case are
exactly opposite to the statements made
in the communication. Some ill-man-
nered Individual in the audience inter-
rupted MrWaldrop while he was speak

speaker, whereupon the audience turned

STREETS AND CARS.
There is much opposition to the grant
ing Of the franchise for the new track
to the Santa Fee company unless they
remove the old track. on the ground that
tanned in that part of the city which is
closely built up with residences, and
that the two streets which would be
crossed with more than one track are
those upon which many children pass
to school every day, namely. Walnut
at present below the station south Of
Colorado street, where the property is
principally given over to manufacturing
purposes, 1T is reasonable that they
should remain there, especially q the
company admits that they are not par
ticularly needed north of Colorado
street. The chief reason for not allow
Ing the yards north of Colorado street
Is the danger to the school children who
are obliged to pass to school on those
streets. Ais said that the real secret OF
the company's desire to keep the old
track north of Colorado street Is that
shey on to non tns sse
on Colorado street, maintaining the
switching yards to the north across Lo-
Gust and Walnut streets. It seems to
be generally considered that the COM
pany will get what they want, although
there will be q vigorous protest at the
Thursday morning. Mr.. Reynolds Is
opposed to- the granting Of the franchise
allowing the old track to remain, but he
seems to be alone in his stand In the
matter.
