PASADENA, Dec. 1S.-willam M.
Cater, aged IS years. and Miss Eliza
| beth Daubrey, aged 81 years, resi-
dents of this city, were licensed to
wed today and within twenty-four
hours will be man and wife.
The bridegroom-to-b is an English
man and during the eighteen months
of his residence here has been engaged
in the real estate business, the firm of
which he was a member being styled
Cartwright & Cater and their office
was at 11S1 North Marengo avenue.
Six months ago this youth of IS
listed some realty and made good
sale for a maiden lady Miss Elizabeth
Daubrey, also from the tight little
island"
Mr.. Cater in spite of his years and
his gray beard, is of n sprightly dispo-
sition and between real estate deals,

Minister Votes No
Those who have supposed that the
| decision of Rev. Revert j. Burdette a
week ago to vote in favor of Sunday
afternoon outdoor band concerts would
| settle the question and result in Civ
| Ing over one of the city parks today
| for these concerts were doomed to dis
appointment today. The minister
stated today that he had been won
over to the side which opposes these
| concerts and would so vote. This
placed the city commissioners in two
evenly matched factions, Mayor
Waterhouse and Commissioner Medill
for the concerts, Commissioners Bur
dette and Windham against them and

but with record of having previously
voted against the concerts With this
situation staring them in the face, the
| commissioners adjourned without tax
| ing any action whatever Those who
| favor the concerts say that the fight
is not yet ended, but that they will
not resume the Sunday concerts until
| the commissioners give them the use of
| one OF the city parks for the purpose.
1t was the petition bearing the names
of seven hundred women which Mr..
| Burdette says determined him to vote
| against the concerts. The regular pc
tition of voters for the concerts showed
l4S5 names, the petition of voters
against the concerts had 1924 names,
but the representatives of the Minister
lal union supplemented their petition
with respectful petition by the women
and this won the day.
Won Over by Women
Commissioner Burdette reaffirmed his
belief in the good to come from Sunday
afternoon concerts but said: "The ap-
peal of these seven hundred unrepre-
sented women means more to me than
all the taxpayers in favor of them A
| taxpayer never means much to me any,
way. You never saw man pay his
taxes without making a howl about it,
He will spend fifty cents for dinner
and ten cents for a cigar and never
complain, but when it comes to five
cents for taxes he tries to have it re-
duced. But these women who can't
vote and have no voice, these women
who can't do anything, who simply
plead for their sons and their brothers
according to what they think is right.

against the use OF the parks for con-
certs makes a majority and therefore
count majority against and will so
vote"
The meeting was productive of much
oratory many of the city's ministers
being present to aid the commissioners
IN making their decision.
Confesses to SIander
Virgil Cummings, the lad arrested a
| few days ago on the charge of having
embezzled several small sums of money
from his employers, entered a plea of
guilty in Judge Congdon's court to-
day and was given a sentence of forty
days in the county Jail. With this
plea came confession of another char
acter Cummings charged that Private
Detective Moulton of this city had
held him up for leaving his horse un-
hitched, that he paid Moulton a fine of
SO and that Moulton failed to report
the case to the proper authorities or
turn over the money. This Moulton
emphatically denied. Today Cummings
freely admitted that this entire story
was fabrication intended to cover
