PASADENA, Oct 11.-Every dollar
of her property Miss Helen Peabody
left by will to found home for Chris
tian workers in foreign and home mis-
sionary fields. 1t is not known just
how valuable this property is, but 1t
is believed to be ample for the purpose
named. 1t consists Of real estate in
st. Louis, fourteen shares in a Mexican
rubber concern, a lot on South Los
Robles avenue. this city, a house and
lot on South Euclid aven"e, valued at
about $4,000, and some $4,000 worth of
bonds of known value.
A strange thing about this property
is that it is all the outgrowth of small
investment in st. Louis real estate
made by Miss Peabody in 1855 and al
lowed to multiply in value for over
thirty-five years. During the thirty
three years of her presidency of the
Western College for Women, at OK
ford O., Miss Peabody received not one
cent of salary, and when the time came
for her to retire this little investment
had grown large enough to provide her
a comfortable income for the rest of
her days and at the end to allow her
to make liberal provision for an instl-
tuition very dear to her heart.
The will was opened and read at her
request in the First Presbyterian
church, and followed an interesting and
affecting memorial service, participated
in by her pastor, DR.. Mcleod, Rev. M.
G.. Hayes and four ladies', representing
as many lines of church work in which
Miss Peabody had been interested and
Rev. c. M. Fisher of Monrovia. Miss
Jessie Goodwin of Los Angeles, former
ly student at the western College lot
Women, sang a solo.
Rv the terms of her will Miss Pea
body gives the property to the Women
Occidental Board of Missions and the
executive committee of the Women s
Presbyterial Missionary Society of Los
Angeles presbytery as trustees. Ihe
property to be used to provide tempor-
ary resting place for weary Christian
workers in limited circumstances from
either home or foreign fields. said

Await Better Offer
A review of the votes cast yesterday
and the day before in the North Pasa-
dena water election was made this
morning and the proposition to sell
the water plant to the city Of Pasadena
for $4,000 was formally declared lost
The only way i'm which the matter can
now he reopened is for the city author
tiles to make another and a higher bld
for the property, a step which the city
is not at all likely to take. Othcers OF
the North Pasadena Land and water
company state that the laying of larger
and better water mains and the general
nodernizing of the plant will now pro-
ceed. The losing stockholders are
pretty sore over the condition of aftalrs
as indicated by the vote.
ont of ASS individuals who registered
their votes in the election 415 were IN
favor of selling and 45 against, but the
stockholders who opposed the sale were
usually owners of large blocks of the
stock and so carried the day. The re-
fusal of the company to sell to the city
puts an end for the present to all OF
North Pasadena's chance for better tlre
protection from early action OF the city
council. .
The board of education finds itself
without the money needed at present
for installing new and modern pump
ing in the Washington building ac-
Cording to the suggestion of Plumbing
INSPECTOR Shaver, and the building Will
be obliged to get along without con-
nection with the new Raymond sewer
in spite of the complaints of pat
rons of that school, 1t would cost
over $1,000 to install such plumbing as
could be connected with the sewer and
the funds at the disposal of the board
will not permit of the expenditure. Al
the meeting of the board last night
this was decided upon as were num-
ber of lesser matters of routine. The
salaries of Ida j. Johnson and Anna
M. Pratt were fixed at $50 a month.
Nav Hiatt, Ida F. Anderson and
Blanche Goodwin were added to the
teachers roll at salaries of $75 each
per month. The board promptly or
dered the payment of the janitors' sal
aries held up by Auditor Kernaghan.
Secretary Davis was allowed $2o a
month for clerical work incident to his
office.
Case of Ptomaine Poisoning
John DERRICK, a barber on West Colo
1ado street, was taken seriously i'll
last night after a lunch at a local
restaurant kept by a Chinese DR..
Mccoy worked over him until late
last night before he pronounced him
out of danger.
CONGRESSMAN McLachlan today paid
the $5 fine imposed upon Joseph Adams
Yesterday for drunk and disorderly,
and the man was released. 1t is said
that Adams is temperance advocate
and that his appetite for Intoxicating
liquors was contracted by the constant
use of certain patent medicines usu-
ally thought to contain more or less
intoXicantS.
Two Arrests for Cruelty
DR.. de Biron made another arrest
this morning as a result of his work

Because of a telephone message from
South Pasadena Humane Officer Sher-
win hurried to meet Fred Eberhart,
