First Meeting Of the New City Council
to Be Held Today-Notes and
Personals From Pasadena

East Colorado Street, April 24.-Company
| I. at its regular weekly meeting tomorrow
night, will act upon thirty-three applica-
tions for enlistment. These names, If no
| objection Is raised to the applicant, will be
voted in at once. and the applicant will be
sworn in regularly by the captain upon
| call from the government ordering the
| men to the front. The fifty new uniforms
| which arrived the other day so to the old
members of the company. The new men,
| bers, as fast as they are voted in. and be-
| fore they are sworn in, are given old suits.
Quartermaster Sergeant Keyler is kept
pretty busy altering old suits for this pur-
pose. AS yet, no new orders have been
received by the company, which is on the
lookout constantly for them.
Captain Farnsworth's company of in
dependent volunteers is rapidly filling up,
and is looking for a call to the front. One
fault is found with this organization,
which is the energy with which the officers
are urging young boys to enlist. Some of
the signers of the enrolment blank are well
under the age of majority, and have not
secured the permission of their parents or
guardians.
A number of those enlisting in Company
do so with the understanding that they
may be transferred later to the cavalry If
they so desire. Other Pasadena boys are
enlisting in Los Angeles, either in the cav
airy or artillery.
The Americus club meet next Wednes
day evening in the recorders court room
for the purpose of considering the matter
of forming strictly military organization
and rendering it's services to the govern
ment in case of emergency.
From first to last therefore Pasadena is
likely to be quite as prolific Of war ma
terial as any other town of its size.
