PASADENA, Oct. 4.-Chief of Police
Pinkham has received word from Red
lands by telephone that the owner of
automobile bearing license No. 1853,
which ran into William Prosser yes
terday afternoon in this city, is a
wealthy ranchman named Watson and
that agreeable to instructions he has
been placed under arrest. Watson
agreed to appear before the Pasadena
authorities tomorrow forenoon report
the Redands authorities. There Is con-
siderable Indignation over the happen
ing, and it is giving impetus to what
will undoubtedly be a campaign against
speed d-mad automobilists. Arrests will
be made promptly and every effort
made to impress upon fast drivers the
fact that they must obey the law while
they are inside the city limits.
1t is said that the driver of car No.

Name Justice on Monday
1t is expected that the board of SUI
pervisors will on Monday name JUS
tice of the peace to succeed Justice
Congdon, whose resignation went be-
fore them at their last meeting. Thus
far only two candidates have been
named for the vacant place, Police JUS
tice Wood and Attorney Van Etten.
1t is reported that plans have been
made to land Van Etten in the office
before it was widely known that JUS
tice Congdon contemplated stepping
down and out, but that the convenient
rule of the board of supervisors sud-
denly blocked the way and held the
appointment over for one week. Justice
Wood and his friends of the present
administration Immediately jumped into
the race. Two big petitions are going
The rounds for Mondays session of the
board, and the leaders are dividing into
two camps, supporters of Justice Cong
don and the former city administration
lining up for Van Etten, whose offices
join those of Justice Congdon in the
SlaVin block, and the police and city
hall force generally lending their sup
port to the present police justice, J..
Perry Wood.

ming to hold an oratorical contest this

making the first arrest under the new
city ordinance forbidding interference
with firemen on duty at fire. He ar

Actor in Trouble
Harry Hines, occasional vaudeville

several drafts, drawn upon his father in
Chicago, might ultimately be taken up
and as 1t seemed impossible to show
that he had drawn the drafts with
criminal intent that charge was with
drawn and the other substituted.
