PASADENA, Jan. 24.-This MORN

services of Dillon & Hubbard, New
York bond experts, to advise the muni-
cipal officers during the coming water
bond election. Pasadena is to vote on
a million dollar municipal water prop

red tape that It was decided best to

mite agreement has as yet been maize,
It is understood the fee for the trans-
action will be $2,5OO.
An offer of $6S, $50 for their water
bearing lands and all othec properties
was authorized to be made the East
Side Water company. This offer is
only tentative and is conditioned upon
the East Side company's daily pressure,
showing an average of 100 miners

buy three lots which have already been
selected on Santa Barbara street, upon
the approval of Director George e.
Hale, who is in charge of the astro-
physical researches now being con-
Quoted on Mount Wilson.

TURNS ON PALS
TO SAVE HIMSELF
PASADENA THIEF HOPES TO
ESCAPE
Asserts That He Was Promised Fr e.
dom II He Would Make a Full
Confession of the
Crime

CASTOR, the Hotel Maryland bell boy
who planned and saw to a success
full completion the theft of the Edey
diamonds, valued at $4,000, has made
clean breast of it ALL
His full confession which was made
Monday morning to the chief and
captain of police at Pasadena led to the
arrest of his confederates, Morgan and
Wilson and the recovery of the dia-
monds.
Morgan and Wilson face trial and
possible conviction. CASTOR as re-
ward for his duplicity, has been prom
ised his freedom by Chief of Police
Freeman, according TO the statement
made by E. l. Moody, Gaston's attor-
ney.
Chief Freeman refuses to discuss
the affair, but the story of Gastons
resolve to purchase his own freedom dt
the cost of that of his companions,
came from Gaston's attorney, Moody,
last night.
Telltale Box
Up until midnight of Monday, VIII
son and Morgan together with Castor,
underwent a severe cross examination
by the police in the hope that the for
mer two might be made to confess their
part in the theft of their own accord.
They protested their innocence vigor-
ously until Chief Freeman unlocked the
safe which stood in the room AMI
brought forth the old cigar box in which
Morgan had buried the diamonds Sun
day morning under pepper tree in the
vicinity of the Raymond hotel.
Monday night the police kept the
same silence that continued through
yesterday, but the story which Attor-
ney Moody tells clears up many Of the
facts. which the police refused to dis
cuss and which reveal how they
knew where the diamonds were hid
uen and the parts that each of the
three men had in the theft, In addi-
tion to the story the facts show how
Morgan walked into the arms Of the
police after they had spent two days
and two nights in search of him.
Attorney Moody says he was calel
to the Jail Sunday morning to talk to
CASTOR in regard to defending him.
CASTOR said he did not have any money
and Moody told him to telegraph to
his parents for 5000. AT that time
CASTOR asserted his innocence. but
CASTOR had had u conversation with
Chief Freeman in which the chief is
said TO have made the proposal Of
giving him his liberty provided he
would confess to the crime and tell
where the stolen property was con-
cealed.
Moody advised his client to make a
clean breast of it on the conditions
stated, and early Monday morning in
the presence of Chief Freeman, Capt.
Austin and Attorney Moody, CASTOR
told the whole story of the crime.
In the afternoon Morgan went 10
Moody's office and after assuring HIM
self that Moody was Gastons attorney.
asked if there was any truth in the
story that CASTOR had made a confess
sion which implicated two others be-
sides himself. Moody told him the ru-
NOR was true.
Morgan then said he was anxious to
see CASTOR and with Moody went over
to the police station. Two minutes la
ter after he stepped across the thres-
hold of the station, he was in cell be-
side that of CASTOR.

MAN BEHIND THE SCENES
Ills important Part in the Success of a Theat-
rical Production,

be found in the palaces of Italy of the
Renaissance period.
The necessity for absolute accuracy
was shown in rather an amusing way
soon after the run of 'Monna Wanna
! began. The entire production had been
/ inspected by Mr.. Fiske and his staff
/ time and again, and was considered be-
yond re9roach. 1t happened, however,
! that one night there came to the
! theater a military man who is an eX-
| pert on firearms and their history.
After the performance he compliment
, ed Mr.. F'iske on the play, the acting
and the scenic investure; but" said
| he, there is one grave inaccuracy in
the production The shot that is heard
| in the distance in the second act is
too modern in sound. So sharp a re-
port is made only by present day arms.
The guns of the fifteenth century gave
out a dull, muffled report. The sharp
report destroys the atmosphere. the il
fusion. 1t is very bad, sir, very bad!"

In the second act of The Girl of the
Golden West Mr. Hunter Belasco's
stage manager, each night directs half
a score of men who never appear to
the audience, but who are all needed
to produce that furious blizzard that is
so realistic as almost to chill the audi
ence. Three of these men turn the
cranks of wind machines (Which are
composed of strips of canvas weighted
over wooden paddle wheels). another
works a whistle in a can of compressed
air and others regulate the fall of

electric fans and is blown and eddied
about. When the boys make their

them behind the scenes, and thev are

so that to the audience it seems as if
the gusts of wind swirIed the snow
fercely up into their faces when they
stepped out of the door. The windows
are continually ratified and peIted with
salt as the play goes on. and now and
again the scenery is shaken as if the
house We're shiyering in the hurricane
of wind. It takes many men to do all
this, and they have to be carefully
drilled and directed. They get no credit !
for it from the excited audience, who
are caught up by the reality of the
scene, but they are doing their part.
The attainment of stage realism. in
deed, depends on much more than the
actors. and it is not created in a day.

of it in this country. and they
pay the most attention to accuracy of
costume and scene, drill most pain
