PASADENA

PASADENA. July 1Z-(Reeuiar Core
Spondencs.) The case Of the city against
Miss Belle Gohn. proprietor OF the New
York Kitchen, for violation Of the liquor
ordinance. was called this morning at $3.50
in the recorders court. w. S. Wright,
attorney for the defendant, stated that
his client desired to waive jury trial, not
withdrawing that the jury had been Sc
CURED and everything was in readiness to
proceed with the trial. However. the
jurors were not all displeased, Judging
from their smiles, as they lost no time in
getting out and back to business, most of
them being business men. Mr.. Wright
then went on to say that the defendant
would admit her guilt in technical sense,
in that she had sold beer with a meal about
an hour before the time allowed by the
ordinance (5:30). However, she wished it
distinctly understood that she had no in
tention Of violating the ordinance, and that
her place OF business was conducted in an
orderly and legitimate manner. The de-
PENDANT had been tried and convicted on a
similar charge about q year ago, but the
fact that an appeal from the decision in
that case was made was evidence that she
was not satisfied with the judgment;
hence, he hoped the court would not take
into account the conviction and judgment
made in that case, and that he would make
her fine as light as possible. No evidence
OF any kind was introduced. Recorder
Rossiter then sentenced Miss Gohn to pay
q fine of 5000. with the alternative of ninety
days in jail. Miss Gohn paid her fine. The
particular offenSe which was charged in
the complaint was committed last Sunday
and the arrest was made on Monday. If
the officers wish to stir things up a little
and afford some business for the courts
there is unlimited opportunity at a num-
Der OF places in town; but perhaps Attorney
Wright is right In saying that it is the
n rit IN -
liquor right up to the point where it be-
comes notorious. then occasionally to call
q halt. If incessant violation Of the ordi-
nance might be called notorious then
the officers cannot miss it to make arrests
In number of places in town. But the
chances are against any such arrests be-
ing made.

A large number of the Christian Endeav-
0rers arrived in Pasadena today and were

stons, and all that could, be accommodated

BREvITIES
The fire department was called out about
o'clock this evening by an alarm from
near the reservoir on Orange Grove ave-
nue., and. responding promptly, soon found
the blaze to be located in Their esidence of
Mr.. Wall in the location named, where it
was soon extinguished with trifing dam
age. The origin of the fire is a mystery,
It started in some dry vines at the corner
OF the house, and Notwithstanding that a
LADY was sitting near the place where it
started. she could not tell how it started.
Miss Abilene Wheeler will be the speaker
at the meeting of the Pasadena branch of

and A. s. r., conferred the fourteenth de-
gree this evening on class of five at
Masonic temple. The work was followed
by banquet, at which visiting brothers
from San Diego, Pomona and Los Angeles
were present.
Something that looked like an airship
was observed floating about near the
mountains this afternoon and was watched
for some time by knots of people stationed
at the street corners or wherever an I'M
'obstructed view could be had 1t may have
been kite. but 1T acted very strangely if it
was, considering that there was SO little
breeze. for it would give sudden lunges,
shooting up or down as though controlled
in some strange fashion. 1t was out near
Mtllard's canyon, apparently, and though
telescopes were brought to bar upon it
nothing could be definitely determined.
