A New Difficulty

A new difficulty has arisen in the mat
ter of erecting poles and stringing over
head wires under the amendment to ths
anti-pole ordinance. Under the amend
ment, companies wishing to erect poles
or hang wires must state in their appli-
cations for permission to do so where
such poles and wires are to be placed.
The applications so far presented COM
ply with the requirements, but the street
superintendent, after issuing the per-
mits, has no means of knowing whether
one or a dozen wires are strung. The
matter will probably be brought up at
the next meeting of the council, and an
effort will be made to have some means
devised for keeping trace of these wires
in order that they may be removed at
the expiration of the year.

he knew unofficially that the water CON-

So, O0o, 900, and that when the property is
turned over to the city, in case the pur-
chase is consummated, the title will be
fully guaranteed. At the meeting of the
council Monday, the committee will ask
that consulting engineers be employed
to check up the inventory of the COM
pany's plant and place valuation upon
it, The draughtsmen are now at work
making the necessary maps for the city.

East Side Cycling Club Century

Word has been received by the East
Side Cycling club that the road for five
or six miles beyond Pomona has been
plowed up to such an extent that it is
impossible and they have decided to
change the course of their century run
on May I'd. Instead of being over the
course to Corona (South Riverside) and
return, 1t will be to Pomona and back
and to Santa Monica and back. This
makes the course 102 miles instead of 1O4.
Riders will be required to register at the
club house at Pomona, at Mondonville
and at Santa Monica.

unable to regain possession of 1t while
struggling with the officer. He was taken
later to surgeon and had his wounds
dressed, and yesterday morning was
brought to the city and lodged in the
county jail.
A PRICE ON HIS HEAD
BY this capture Deputy Sheriff Slanker
will earn a good reward, amounting to
$3.50 on the murder charge and about
SIS offered for the recovery of the horse.
Lugo boasted that no officer could effect
His capture and that he would die with
his boots on rather than be taken back
TO Mono county to be lynched by the
friends of Leahy. In order to make this
boast good, he Travelled with a 44-7Q
Winchester rifle, a compass field glass,
a 44-caliber revolver and the 14-inch
dirk already alluded to. Thus in the
guise of a perambulating arsenal, he was
ready to take the field at moments
notice. But strategy gets away with
brute force every time, and Lugo's case
was no exception.
The authorities of Mono county have
been communicated with regarding the
arrest made, and an officer will probably
arrive today to convey the prisoner
north.

tered the room. A moment later they
had taken their places at the head of
the room. when there was another
flourish of the trumpets. which told
that the quadrille d'honeur, arranged
by Mrs. William Astor. was about to
open.
The forming for the first figure, "the
salute" was like the turning of pages
of history. There was Mrs. Bradley
Martin wearing Marie Stuart cos
tune, Mr.. John Jacob Astor In Louis
vi court costume, Mr.. j. Townsend
Martin as cavalier of the court OF
Louis XIII and Mr.. Henry Lohr in
Louis XIV court costume.
From another section of the room
came Mrs. Orme Wilson, looking pic
turesque in Louis XVI court dress
of white and silver brocade, and Mrs..
Whitney Warren, wearing costume
after the style of the time of Louis
XIV. Mr. Lispenard Steward closely
followed his partner, Mrs. Whitney
Warren dressed as a cavalier of the
court of Louis XIII. The others of the
16 who took their places in the quad
rifle were: Mrs. Lee Taller. Mr.. Craig
Wadsworth, Miss Gerry, Mr.. Confer
Hitchcock; Miss Lena Morton, Mr. j.
J. Van Allen; Miss Madeline Cutting,
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish.
AS these partners waited for the
opening bars of the music the scene
was the most beautiful of the night.
About them on every side were the
rich laces, the glittering gems and all
that went to make up the historically
represented personages of the ball, the
whole backgrounded by the natural
flowers, the lights and the ferns.
AS when 200 years ago, when the
quadrille d'honeur was danced at
court where the king and the queen
took part in it, they were accorded due
and proper honor, so last night Mrs.
Bradley Martin and Mr.. Astor were
given that honor as king and queen Of
the night. In those old days too, the
crown prince and princess stood be-
side king and queen at the head of
the auadrille, SO in this set those
places were given to Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish and Mr.. Robert Van Cortland.
White there were light refreshments
served throughout the evening it was
not until after / o'clock that the reg
ular supper began. This was served at
small tables In the winter garden. but
this place would have never been re.
cognized by those familiar with 1t,
the more than 100 tables having all

ist and were SO hidden by his art as
to have lost all resemblance to bits of

The costumes of 800 or more guests
were exquisite in the extreme, and
made picture of rare beauty. There
were dozen or more Marie Antoin-
cites, among the more prominent be-
ing Mrs. John Jacob Astor Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish and Miss Helen Brice.
