ia East Colorado Street.


women's college to be located in
Southern California. d. M. Linnard,
the indefatiguable president Of Pasa-
dena's board of trade, announced this
afternoon that Mr.. Kinney has con-
cluded to offer 100 acres of his great
ranch at Kinneloa upon which to locate
the college should the committee decide
to bring that institution to Pasadena.
With this magnificent gift Mr.. Kinney
will also give one-quarter interest in
the Kinneloa Water company, whose
properties cost Mr.. Kinney over $4,000
/ to develop.
The Kinneloa ranch consists in Its
entirety Of 537 acres, some five miles to
fhe northeast of Pasadena, right at the
foot of the Sierra Madre and overlook
ing Pasadena and the lower country
for miles around. 1t is considered one
Of the most perfect pieces of real estate
in the entire country. One hundred
acres are given over to oranges, some
fruit in abundance. There Is abundance
of water from the mountains, sufficient
to supply town of 5000 inhabitants
with a fall sufficient to generate cleo
tricity for such town. Mr.. Kinney's
gift includes a great part of the stock
of this water company. The ranch in
cludes all the mountain lands on its
northern boundary. Aside from the
fifty acres required for the college, the
gift includes fifty acres Of the most
beautiful mountain land with two can
vons and the private trail of Kinneloa,
which is over four miles long with an
elevation Of some 1000 feet where it
Joins the new Mount Wilson trail
Nothing could be more beautiful than
the scenery surrounding the proposed
site of the college, and everything seems
to unite to make it ideal. Mr.. Linnard
has prepared a prospectus covering the
attractive features Of the section, with
numerous photographs and measure
ments and this VIII be laid before the
committee.
Judge congo'on to Resign
It seems probable that Police Judge
Roscoe P. Congdon will tender his res
ignatlon to the city council at its meet
ing tomorrow. Neither Judge Congdon
nor Mayor Waterhouse will speak of
the situation, which in the opinion Of
both, as the report goes, makes this
action desirable. 1t has been an open
secrct for a long time that the mayor
was not unduly friendly toward the
city's police judge, and when the Dickey
case came before the court, the mayor
being the chief prosecuting witness,
the chance for the widening Of the
breach was apparent to nearly every
one. It is currently reported that
Mayor Waterhouse had heart to heart
talk with Judge Congdon regarding
the manner in which the latter ordered
certain evidence against Dickey strick-
en- from the records of the case If the
resignation comes tomorrow, as is pro-
phesied by those nearest to both par
ties, 1t will be directly traceable to
Judge Congdons independent ruling in
this case Rumor further says that
Mayor Waterhouse intends to offer the
position of police judge. should it be-
come vacant, to Justice OF the Peace H.
vi. Klamroth.
