DR.. F. e. Buck of Center street,
South Pasadena, died early this morn
ing as a result of drinking carbolic
acid, taken 1t is supposed, by mistake.
DR.. Buck suffered frequently from
headaches.
About o'clock this morning while
suffering from one of the attacks, DR..
Buck went into his office and caught
up a bottle hurredly from a shelf, it
is supposed, thinking it whisky. But
although similar in shape and size the
bottle contained carbolic acid and
large dose was swallowed. DR.. Buck
tried in vain to attract attention from
his office door. He attempted to coun-
teract the poison with simple antidotes.
Milk and eggs were found by Dr.
Henry Sherry when he arrived.
DR.. Buck leaves a widow and two
children, and had lived in South Pasa-
dena several years.

Lived at Lamanda Park

The man injured by the last south
bound electric car from Pasadena last
night was j. G. Goodhue of Lamada
Park. He was driving from Los An
geles with a large load of groceries.
He was taken from the scene of the
accident to the Pasadena hospital
where he was delirious most of the
night. Although conscious this after
noon the case is still serious one.
The teamster lived in Lamanda Park
with his wife and seven children.
The home of Charles Carms of Earl
ham street was entered early this morn
ing and $40 in gold taken, together with
some clothing. The house was entered
through the back door and the police
think it is one of a series of small rob-
berries.
Mrs. r. p. Lukens, wife of Hon. T.
p. Lukens, today suffered severe
stroke of paralysis at the family home
on North Marengo avenue. AS this
is the second stroke, it is feared that
the result may be serious.
The eight amendments voted for the
charter last Saturday have been pre-
pared for presentation to the state leg
islature, and were today taken to Los
Angeles by Clerk Dyer to be sent by
express to Sacramento. Usually such
amendments are adopted without de-
bate, and as they take precedence over
all other business, it viii be but few
days until these amendments will be a
part of the organic law of the city of
Pasadena.

Sunday Theater
Pasadena Agency,
III East Colorado Street.

PASADENA, Feb. 9-The guests of
Hotel Green. with some of their fortu
nate outside friends, enjoyed most
unusual form of entertainment i'm the
big ball room in the form of a barn
dance. True to life were the surround
ings, the animals, implements of toll
and the rustic costumes of both men
and women. Freshly starched gowns
OF calico and gingham with rufTled sun
bonnets adorned the fair maids, while
the young men were fitted out i'm jeans,
dark shirts and broad -brimmed hats.
Vegetables and fruits were combined
with haystacks and bundles Of straw
to make the unique decorations, and
after the first grand march the hoes
rakes and shovels carried by the men
folk were stacked artistically against
the hay.
The dancing was more fun than the
gowns and decorations, for the young
men had practiced patiently until all
kinds of shufTles, breakdowns, back
steps and country fancy steps were
readily done by them, and the old
fashioned square dances which fol-
lowed were great sport. The adjacent
rooms We're crowded with interested
spectators. A rustic supper was served
after the dancing and merry games
ended one of the jolliest evenings spent
at the Green for many a day.

School Board Meets

The board of education held q special
meeting this afternoon at the high
school to listen to a proposition from
the residents of Worcester avenue
relative to the purchase of land through
the Wilson school grounds for a con-
tinuance of the avenue through to
Adella avenue.
Some time ago it was decided to grant
a right of way through the school
grounds, the residents of Worcester
avenue to settle the amount of damages
made by a committee appointed for the
purpose. But the report of the COM
mittee was deemed unjust and unequal
by the residents, and the matter
dropped there. The board nailed up
the street opening. Today the same
residents offered the board the sum of
$500 for the right of way through but
no action was taken on the proposal.
Recently the property needed for a
street was appraised by real estate
men as fully $247O, and the board is not
inclined to sell too cheaply.

Oppose Sunday Theaters

The management OF the recently
opened variety theater on Union street
is advertising today that after next
week two entertainments will be given
on Sunday a matinee in the morning
and AN evening show. The mayor has
placed himself on record as strongly
opposing any such plan, and the church
people have already begun to send in
petitions to the mayor protesting
against it. Strangely enough there is
nothing on the statue books of the city
which make it unlawful for a theater or
pool room to keep open on Sunday, and
the city attorney today considered the
matter fully
