PASADENA, Sept. 28.-Mrs. A. R.
Torrance Of Pittsburg, Pa, now stop
ping at the Trenton hotel, Los Ange-
les, is at the head of a movement
backed by considerable eastern capital
which plans a Seeing Pasadena" cleo
trio automobile service to begin Janu-
ary 1. The lady visited Pasadena Tues
day and made preliminary arrange
ments for a garage and power station
in the shops of Ed. R. Braley, on South
Raymond avenue, and announced that
two big cars, each seating twenty-four
people and costing upwards of $4,000,
have been already ordered and are on
the way from the east for the Pasadena
service. In an hour and a half the au-
tomobile will visit all the show places
in and near the city, a guide on each
car explaining the sights as they are
reached. The company which expects
to profit by the Pasadena system will
also control the Los Angeles system
which will begin about the same time.
Arthur Phelps a ten-year-old boy
from Los Angeles, ran away from
home a few days ago and followed the
street railway track to Pasadena to
visit an aunt. He proceeded to make
things lively for the family and for
the children in the neighborhood, and
yesterday decided to offer his friends
a real railroad wreck. He placed a
number of iron bolts upon the Santa
Fe tracks near his aunt's house, suffi-
cient, it is said, to have really caused
q wreck. But the boys stepbrother,
a Mr.. Merwin, detected the plan, re-
moved the distractions and carried the
boy to Justice Klamroth. Here he
was advised to take the boy back to
Los Angeles before anything else hap
rened and make quick visit to the
juvenile court. From all reports the
boy should be put in safe keeping at
once.
The following additional committees
were named by the Congregational
convention before final adjournment:
Corporate members of the American
board-Henry Kingman, ]. 7. Fisk;
systematic benevolence-George Rob-
ertson, A. G. Lamb, N. T. Edwards,
J. M. Schaef1e; committee to take greet
ings to Presbyterian synod at Red
lands-J. H. Williams, P. ]. Fisk; COM
mittee to take greetings to M. E. con-
ference at Los Angeles-W. F. Day, j..
H. Mallows; committee to take greet
ines to the Northern California asso-
ciation-George Willett, Edward Fuller.
A number of the delegates remained
in the city over night to attend the
retreat" this afternoon. This meeting
was led by Rev. Bristol, now in his
ninety-fourth year, who read paper
upon present religious conditions.
City Needs Dump Ground
The arrest this morning of Charles
Brown, a civil war veteran from Min
nesota, for dumping rubbish in an old
wash along a city street brought to
light the fact that, although the ordi-
nance governing such cases states that
rubbish may be dumped on the city
dump, the place is strictly mythical.
The city street department has decided
to prosecute all such offenders in the
future, it being decided that there are
too many rubbish heaps about the city.
It is likely that city dump will be
arranged for at once. Brown was re-
leased on a technicality.
Edward P. Murphy, the widely
known choirmaster of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church, is seriously i'll
at his residence on Oakland avenue,
with the chances against his recovery.
A severe attack Of pneumonia last win
ter left him in feeble health, but the
present breakdown came only two or
three days ago. Mr.. Murphy is in
many respects a very remarkable man
and during the years in which he has
had charge of the music of the First
church has developed a musical organ
ization of distinguished ability. He has
a wide acquaintance throughout South
ern California and his death, should it
come at this time, will cause deep re-
gret.

Pride and Moral Responsibility" 1t

ton to Los Angeles.
