caused the arrest of Robert Kressner, !
who runs a restaurant and lunch stand
at San Fernando. Constable Austin
made the arrest and as Kressner was
unable to furnish the $3.50 bail required
he is spending the evening at the
county jail Thomas Bosler is the COM
planning witness, and he makes a num-
ber of allegations which the restaurant
keeper denies in toto. Kressner admits
the sale of certain soft drinks but the
witness against him says that beer Is
not a soft drink and yet had it's place
on the bill of fare. The arrest today
was made at Pomona and Kessner will
be arraigned before Justice of the Peace
Klamroth Saturday, September 16, at
10 a. m.
Police Judge Wood had but two cul-
prits before him this morning. The
first one was George Taylor, charged
by Officer Schultz with failing to hitch
his horses when he took some groceries
for the fact that the hitching weight
was in the wagon instead of on the
ground, Not knowing how the weight
got back in the wagon he did not know
whether he was guilty or innocent.
Judge Wood said he was guilty and
Taylor paid 50. The other case was
Frank Reynolds, charged with drunken
ness. He had been found behind the
Salvation Army tent unconscious. Rey-
nolds felt insulted at the charge and
said that he had taken three morphine
tablets for a severe headache; had a
big days work ahead of him and needed
the rest. Said the morphine prevented
his knowing where he had laid down.
Judge Wood decided that the man was
telling the truth and sent him back 20
his work.
e. W. Jessup, engineer of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail-
road, has been requested to appear be-
fore the city council at it's next regular
meeting to show why his company has
violated the city's building ordinance
in erecting a frame building without
first obtaining building permit. 1t
appears that the company made formal
application for such permit, and that
when the proper council committee
went to the place indicated to see
whether it would be advisable to allow
the building it was found that the
structure desired had already been
erected. The discovery rather ruff1ed
the tempers of the councilmen.
At a regular meeting last night the
trustees of South Pasadena appointed
E.. H. Lockwood to confer with the
water board of the city of Los Angeles
as to a plan whereby South Pasadena
may share in the proposed Owens river
water deal. This action indicates de-
sire on the part of the South Pasadena
trustees to provide water supply
should they lose the suit begun months
ago against the Pasadena Land and
Water company. 1t is also said that
the conference may make it easier for
the proposed annexation to Los Angeles
should that come up again.

Postmaster Wood has received word
from Portland that one of the local car
riers, Frank S. Boner, who represented

Trust company, has been increased
from $4,000 to 100000. 1t has also been
decided to increase the board of direc-

members, as at present provided for
to eleven members. Work on the new
building at the corner of Colorado and
Broadway is progressing rapidly.
The Crown City will not purchase the
voting machines recommended by it's
special committee at a former melting.
The council took the matter under
formal advisement today, and, after
listening to a representative of the vot-
ing machine company who tried to
convince the members that the use of
the machines would be a considerable
financial saving, decided not to make
the venture just now
1t has been decided by the present
city administration that workmen in
the city's employ will in the future,
as in the past, receive pay for holidays
even though they do not work. City
Attorney Fitzgerald told the council
this morning that the custom. as estab-
hshed by previous administrations, has
become a part of the contract with
these laborers and should govern. The
ordinance and judiciary committee will
probably prepare an ordinance to cover
the matter.
The "Household of Cod" whose
shoutings and singing have made
nights a burden to the neighbor-
hood in which their tent has been
