the question which is puZzling Pasa-
dena officials Just now and preventing
them from deciding what to do In the
Arcadia coursing case. Not a word
has been received from the city Of the
Angels and TOR all that Is known here
only Pasadena officers investigated
yesterdays sport. There is some doubt
as to what is best to do under the
circumstances and the Pasadena HUI
made society is making haste slowly.
Superintendent B. e. Sherwin is after
the Arcadia sportsmen hot-footed, and
during the coursing Sunday afternoon
procured names and witnesses galore
for use should the affair get into the
courts. Acting President Bowen Is
also indignant at the revival Of a
sport which, he believed, had been
dropped for good and all.
Judge J. G.. Rossiter Of this city has
been retained and at meeting at 4 p.
m. today the evidence collected was
laid before him. If action is decided
upon the society wishes this time to be
absolutely sure of it's ground before
any warrants are issued. Whatever
decision was reached today, if any,
will not be made public now. A little
longer time will be given for word
from Los Angeles and then the Pasa-
dena officers will make their move.
Wanted in Los Angeles
Chief of Police Pinkham made an
important capture today when he ar
rested Eddie Jones. the colored lad
wanted by the Los Angeles officers for
alleged implication in the robbery of
a rooming house some three weeks ago.
Three of the colored men who had q
hand in that affair were arrested, but
the fourth believed to be Jones, es
capped. He was finally traced to Pasa-
dena and the matter was placed in
Chief Pinkham's hands with the above
result Jones when arrested insisted
that his name was Smith, but, as his
associates foolishly called him Eddie
Jones, the bluff would not work. De-
tective Quinn came over from Los An
geles this afternoon and persuaded the
young man to return with him.
Peace Officers Clash
Sam l.. Wallis, deputy sheriff and
game warden is having lively tilt
with Patrolman Coping over an al
legged infraction of the city ordinance
which forbids the allowing of a dog to
run at large in any of the city parks.
-, A.. =,
Library park yesterday with his pet
coach dog trailing behind him. officer
Coping called his attention to the fact
that the dog was not tied up, informing
him that he was under arrest and de-
sired him to appear in the police court
this morning. This Wallis did, but with
blood in his eye and an aching desire to
take Copping's star away from him. He
insists that the ordinance in question
has long been a dead letter and that
Coping simply saw a chance to make
him appear ridiculous by placing him
under arrest. Patrolman Coping re-
spends with equal heat that the ordi-
nance is on the city's law books to be
tHIOTCSu anu IldL llc his
duty. The case will be heard by Judge
Wood tomorrow.
New Park Superintendent
At meeting of the city commission
ers this afternoon Jacob Albrecht was
appointed park superintendent in place
of Albert Zimmerman, resigned. The
new official has been engaged in work
about the city parks for some time past
and has proved himself thoroughly COM
petent The commission also appointed
N. G. Means for duty in the fire de-
partment on recommendation of Chief
Clifford. Because of the state law
which now gives f1remen four days off
every month, instead of two days as
formerly, this additional man was found
necessary to relieve those off duty.
Cannot Work Together
The meeting held today by the city
officials and the supervisors to consider
the question of storm sewers resulted
in a decision that it will be legally i'm
possible for the city and county to act
together This was the opinion of Judge
Fitzgerald and the others concurred.
The two can still work in harmony and
it is planned that in some way, yet un-
determined, the two schemes for dis
posing of the storm water will be made
to dovetail together. But under the
law there can be no partnership in mat
ters of this kind.
Pasadena Breveties
Clarence Ayers, aged II, was before
Justice Congdon today on the charge
of having stolen IS from H. N. Hitler
of South Hudson avenue. Former Chief
of Police Freeman traced the crime to
the lad. who confessed. 1t was decided
to place the boy on probation.

hibition in his hothouse at rs North
