PASADENA, Aug. 29--E. e. Twom-
lev. superintendent Of track work for
the Santa Fe, had a narrow es-
cape this afternoon when q num-
Der of Mexicans engaged in re-
pairing the tracks in the railroad
yards in this city tried to mob him for
discharging three of their number. AS
Il was, the timely arrival of officers
Copping and Pierce with loaded re-
volvers was all that saved him from
a severe beating, perhaps worse.
Twomley has some fifty Mexicans
under him and they have been in
clined to be ugly for a week past,
obeying his orders with grumbling and
black looks. This afternoon the
trouble came to head when the fore
man, thinking he had found the ring
leaders, discharged three of the
cholos, Lucas Quenteros, Victoriano
Quenteros and Jose Alvino. The men
suddenly seized picks and shovels and
backed by the other laborers made an
attack on the foreman. Twomley put
his back against a convenient wall and
kept the men off with club while a
passerby telephoned for help. The
three men pleaded not guilty before
Justice Congdon this evening and their
hearing was set for tomorrow morn
ing. There are likely to be other ar
rests.
BIcyclists In the Net
Policeman Schultz brought in nine
bicyclists this morning gathered on
South Mentor avenue, charging them
with riding on the sidewalk. The Off
Ger visited the locality on the com
plant of some persons residing there
who said that pedestrians were hav-
ing a hard time to maintain their
rights on the sidewalks. For an hour
and half the wheelmen were gathered
into the dragnet as they came along.
Police Judge Wood was informed by
the spokesman of the party that the
street at the point named was nearly
impossible, making it almost necessary
for bicyclists to ride where the side
ticle in the neighborhood. The court
let the party off on suspended SEN
tence, promising to examine the place
in person and to let the wheelmen off
scot free if their statement was true,
otherwise the usual fine of three do,-
lars per capita.
To Buy Voting Machines
The city council today discussed the
advisability of purchasing six United
States standard voting machines, as
recommended by the special committee
which Witnessed trial of the machines
at Los Angeles yesterday. These six
machines would mean an expenditure
of $240O by the city, the county being
willing to pay the other half of the
total price. 1t was finally decided to
postpone decision until next week. At
the same meeting today the city attor-
ney reported that he had written to
the counsel of the Pacific Electric Rail
way company asking by what right the
company had erected poles along North
Lake avenue without extending their
line along that section of the street and
that his letter had been ignored. Tha
council ordered a quantity of street
work. but adjourned early because of
the intense heat.
