HOPE TO BLOCK CREMATCRY
Pioo Heights People Are Confident of
the Success of Their
Efforts

The efforts of the Pico Heights anti
crematOry association to prevent the
completion of the crematory now under
course of erection on Grover street give
strong Indications of being realized.
The work is being pushed with all
possible fervor by each individual mem
Der of the associa ton. The canvass for
names to the petition being circulated
broadcast has reached "A figure that
will place the question of the establish
ment of the crematory on the ballot
of the next general election.
Not satisfied with such developments
an effort will be made to secure "a
large enought percentage to place the
question on the ballot of the next spc..
cial election, which is scheduled to take
place shortly after the first of the year.
At a meeting held in Pico Heights
last night report read by the finan-
cial secretary showed that the money
necessary to meet the bills incurred by
the association has been more than
doubled
Within one weeks time it will be
known definitely whether or not the
association will be able to place the
question of voting ON the establishment
of the crematory on the ballot of the
next special election. Strong efforts
are being put forth and a final meet
ing of the association viii be held next
Monday night

OYSTER THIEF"
MAY Be EXPELLED
OCCIDENTAL FACULTY AFTER
CULPklT
Thirteen Students Form Society and
Vow to Stand or Fall Together.
Dean Scores Guilty
Persons

Threats of expulsion, arrest and sum
mary punishment Of all kinds have so
far failed entirely to cause the identi-
fication of the Occidental student who
stole the oysters from Newberry's store
last Tuesday night.
Dean Stevenson and the faculty OF
Occidental have taken up the subject
and declare If the guilty person is
caught he will be Immediately ex-
PEELED.
"These petty therts," says the dean,
have become so numerous and an
moving that they must be stopped in
some way and the most effective means
will be to make an example of the
first man caught.
Entering stores and houses by cut
ting screens Is not "a joke, but theft,
and must be dealt with as such"
In order to better protect and con-
ceal the guilty person thirteen of the
students have formed themselves into
a society and have sworn to stick to-
gether to the last. They declare that
If one of their number is expelled all
the rest will follow.
Saturday night the stolen fish fur
nished the society with a grand oyster
supper around big camp fire
while one of the members amused his
brothers by n poetical recital of the
Switching" of the oysters from the
juniors.

Assistant city Attorney Goudge, who

almost exclusively, stated to the coun-
Gil that II the government insists on

persons and corporations are given
rights of way in the valley, the pro-
ject Of the city will be in extreme
jeopardy. He declared that the plans
of the city for supplying water for do
mestic use are far more important
than the irrigation projects and the
development of power to be carried
outside Of the state, which several com
panies are contemplating. He added
that the various civic bodies are pre-
pairing resolutions similar to those
adopted by the council.
These resolutions are as follows;

500, 900, and Is proceeding without de-
lay to perfect its plans for bringing
such water into the city; and
Whereas, the plans of the city for
obtaining this supply of water would

NEW CARDINALS
CREATED BY POPE
SECOND SECRET CoNSIsT0RY
IS HELD
PontiH Speaks in a Gloomy Way Of
Present Condition Of the Church.
Several Bishops Are
Appointed
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 1.-THE pope today held
secret consistory, which was the Sec
ond of the pontifcate, i'm which he
created new cardinals and apparently
showed tendency to have better
equilibrium between the foreign and
Italian elements in the sacred college.
three of the four new cardinals being
foreigners. The ceremony was per-
FORMED with the usual pomp. Nearly
thirty cardinals were present. The
pontit appeared walking and preceded
hy, surrounded and followed by the
gorgeous pontiical court. Then all
Withdrew except the members of the
secret college, and the pope read his
aIlocution. In 1t he said he wished he
could give the cardinals pleasant and
consoling news but that conditions at
the present time do not permit of
consolation,
Although. he continued, the Catholic
iaith Is spreading more and more
throughout the world, especially in dis
sldent countries, on turning toward
Catholic nations one feels sad and
fears lest the prediction of the scrip
lures is being verified, that the king
dom of the Lord will he removed to
other people where it will produce good
lruit. Especial care and anxiety may
be felt for the country heretofore
called the eldest daughter of the
church, but concerning. the anti Cath
olic laws passed there against the laws
of justice, the pope said he would
speak in accordance with his apostolic
office more gravely and more fully at
an opportune time
lie eXhorted the cardinals to prayer.
recalling that the Lord will cause
tranquility and peace to shine forth
at the proper time.
The pontiff ended with saying that
he intends to honor the whole Latin
American race by creating for the first
time a cardinal belonging to that part
of the world.
Immediately after reading the allo-
cution he created the following car
dinals:
The Most Rev. Joseph Samuzza, arch
| bishop of Erlau, Hungary.
Mgr Spinola, archbishop OF Seville.
Mgr. j. A. de ArCoNerde dc Albu-
qCerque Cavalcanti, archbishop of Rio
Janeiro.
Mgr. Cagaino de Azevedo. major
domo of the Vatican.
The cardinals asserted that, con-
trsry to the popular impression, the
pope did not create fifth cardinal but
reserved the appointment in pectore.
Later the pope appointed number
of bishops, including. the following:
The Rev G. BARN, bishop of Nureva
Caceres, Philippine islands; the Rev.
It. Il. Meerschaert, bishop of Oklaho-
ma; the Rev. +. Gronnan, formerly
bishop of Dallas, Tex, titular bishop of
Caesarea, anG tie Rev. A. Schinner

REVIVE OLD CONTENTION
County Officials Ask Supervisors 4
Furnish Them More Room at
Court LIouae
Court House

The old bone OF contention between
the county board of supervisors and
various officers in the court house
building was dug UP again yesterday
when various county officials appeared
before the supervisors and asked for

paying $1,000 year rent and will have
to double the payment for new Of
fees.
At the meeting yesterday it was pro-
posed to build "A hall of records. AL
though some of the supervisors are In
favor of this plan, especially since the
county Is in a sound financial condi-
ton, others object and the county
