School Grounds and Arbor Day
At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Pasadena board of education held
this afternoon f. A. Allen of Alta
Improvement society to improve the
large school grounds. The offer was
accepted; the board will expend $3.50
in preparing the lots, and the associa-
tion will put as much into trees and
plants.
On the seventh of this month the
Shakespeare club of this city will plant
some thirty trees about the grounds of
the Mckinley school. A large pine
will be planted in memory of President
Mckinley by Mrs. Ellen B. Farr, whose
late husband was close friend of
Mckinley during the civil war. The
school children will take part in the
ceremonies.
A petition was read at the meeting
of the board of education this after
noon, signed by some of the lower
primary teachers, asking that one un-
graded room be arranged for each
school building in which pupils who are
behind in their studies may have indi-
vidual attention. No action was taken
upon the petition, although it will prob
ably be considered later.
Mckelvy-HaII Case
The somewhat sensational M'Kelvey-
Hall battery case was tried before
Judge Congdon today, and after being
out for some hours, the jury brought in
a verdict of guilty against MKelvey.
Sentence will be pronounced Monday
morning at ten o'clock. AS Hall is the
president of the Merchants associa-
ton, and prominent man in social
and religious circles, the case has been
of unusual interest. Four witnesses
testified to the exactness of Mr. Halls
account of the fracas, In which M'Kel-
vey attacked him, the defendants plea
being that Hall made a move as if for
a revolver and therefore his action was
in self-defense.
