to Move -

PASADENA, Dec. 22.-(Ofice OF The
Herald, 10 West Colorado street; telephone
red 675.) The mass meeting to protest
against the appointment of a brewery ana
corporation attorney as city attorney OF
Pasadena has been postponed until after
the holidays, The joint committee has made
report to the churches and affiliated socie-
ties, in which history OF the controversy
is given and the statement made that the
facts brought out in the controverys show
that our city is now in attorneyship subJec-
ton to the Los Angeles liquor trade inter-
ests." The points Of their argument may
be summed up as follows: Through the ad-
vice of Mr.. Wright the city council has
disallowed the marshal funds for detective
service, thus seriously gripping the Off
GERS in the detection and prosecution OF vio-
lators of the antisaloon ordinance. This
is directly contrary to the legal advice OF
Frank j. Policy and w. E. Arthur, former
city attorneys. Mr.. Arthur publicly stated
that evidence in these liquor cases could
not be obtained except by detective SER
vice Mr.. Wright being stockholder, di-
rector, secretary and attorney in and for
the liquor trade corporation, his interests
are totally against the sentiment of the
citizens of Pasadena, who for twenty-five
years opposed the idea Of having any saloons
here. Mr.. Wright's pro-saloon record is
then brought up and comment rendered
useless.
