PASADENA, Sept. lit was ex-
pected that Miss May Sutton and her
sisters would reach Pasadena some
time today from San Francisco and
many of her enthusiastic admirers
watched the trains throughout the day.
Captain Sutton even made the trip to
Los Angeles to meet his daughters.
But they did not come and Captain SUIT
ton thinks that they were probably de-
layed in their departure by the at
tentions of their friends in San Fran
cisco and that they may surely be ex-
pected tomorrow. Plans for the public
reception to be given Miss Sutton in
La Casa Grande on Friday evening are
now about complete. The silver tea set,
the memorial selected as Pasadena's
gift to it's famous lady tennis cham
pion has been received and is beauty.
Rev. Robert ]. Burdette has been Sc
lected and has consented to make the
presentation speech and Miss Sutton's
brother Attorney Charles T. Sutton,
is expected to respond for the modest
little lady whom the city wishes to hon
or. The Crown City band will furnish
music for the public reception and it
will be made thoroughly informal A
reception committee consisting of
nearly two hundred leading citizens,
headed by Mayor Waterhouse, has been
named for the occasion.
Today was the last day in which an
appeal could be taken from the decision
of Judge York in the much mooted con-
vention hall site case. Many citizens
have hoped all along that, at the last
moment, the Crawford syndicate would
let the matter drop, leaving the way
clear for Pasadena to get the six acres
on West Colorado street for the pro-
posed convention hall and casino. But
word came from Los Angeles today that
the Crawford attorneys, Works, Lee &
Works, have filed their appeal to the
supreme court and intend to push the
case to an early decision in the inter
est of their client. There seems to be
some little likelihood that the case may
be advanced rapidly on the court cal
endar and that a decision may be
reached early in October.
Prof Donald A. Ross has been chosen
supervisor of the new manual training
department just being installed in the
city schools. He will receive a salary
of $1,000 a year. Prof. Ross is a gradu-
ate of the sloyd department of the
Throop Polytechnic, and is now en-
gagged at Bakersfield. The board of edu-
cation will communicate with him to-
morrow and it is expected that he will
accept and take up his new duties i'm
mediately. The selection will meet with
instant approval.
City Attorney Kernaghan will tomor-
row submit to the city council an ori-
ginal plan for simplifying the descrip-
tion of real estate on the assessors
books. His plan is to make new maps
of the city, designating the blocks by
letters and each lot by number, these
used instead of the present lengthy de-
scriptions wherever these descriptions
are now employed. The plan looks
feasible to the city officials and would
mean a considerable saving each year
when the rolls are being made up.
Fred Rausch, the 9-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. F. Rausch, will lose
an eye as result of some rough play
with other children last night The boy
was playing with other children when
he was struck in the eye by a clod of
dirt.
Mrs Nora E. Marshall, wife of George
Marshall, died last night at their home
on Bellefontalne street, aged AZ years.
She had been a resident Of Pasadena
ten years and was a native of Ireland

tomorrow afternoon.

of Mayor Waterhouse, left tonight for
