PASADENA, Aug. 5-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Pasadena holds an end of
the latest scandal which has been promul
gated in Los Angeles. Mrs. Joseph r.
Rogers "the bride of three days" came
| to this city after leaving her husband
| last Tuesday Mrs. Elmira Lewis. Mrs
Rogers mother. and Mrs. Edward w.
Langdon, married sister have been
| spending the past ten days in Mrs. Lewis
cottage at 1853 North Marengo avenue
and there Mrs. Rogers stayed few days.

living with him three days and then de-
serting him. Mrs. Lewis says her daugh-
ter never loved Rogers. and that his per-
sistency often tired her. She was unduly
| influenced by him to take the marriage
| step. Rogers, who is a clerk in the en-
ploy of Harper & Reynolds of Los An
geles, is said by Mrs. Lewis to have tor
mented the girl with notes. etc. Rogers is
further accused of having prosecuted her
in order to get hold of the money which
Annetta is said to have in her own right,
some $4,000. Her mother says that she
cannot tell where Mrs. Rogers is now.
| The young woman may still be concealed
| in this city.
MORE SCALE TROUBLES
| Pasadena orchardists have become
alarmed of late about the red scale which
threatens lemon and orange and other
trees in the vicinity. The presence of the
scale has been kept a secret much as
possible by many orchardists who have
| noticed 1t on their trees. c. H. Richard
son, who owns one of the oldest and hand
soonest places in the city, has found the
scale on his lemon trees in the orcahrd
between Madison and Moline avenues,
north OF California street. Mr. Richard
son has tried several preparations for
killing the scale, none of which have
certainly proved effective. Tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock the horticultural
commissioners will make an investigation
OF the results of the washes which Mr.
Richardson has used, with view to de-
termining what had best be done Fruit
growers nurserymen and others interest
ed are invited to be present. The commits
sioners will be armed with magnifying
glasses. ETC., and the twigs, fruit and
| bark of the lemon trees affected will bs,
carefully examined for signs of the scale,
and also for signs of HARM if any, done
| by the washes used. 1t is known that
unless a parasite or wash is found to
kill the scale it will spread to orange
| trees and shrubs, of which latter Mr.
| Richardson's place has many rare va
rietes.
