PASADENA, Feb. 3.-The pre-
liminary hearing of Fred Karl
Morgan, one of the trio of bellboys
implicated in the $4,000 jewelry rob-
berry at Hotel Maryland recently, was
continued by Judge Congdon from this
morning to Monday morning. The de-
fendants counsel, Attorney Thompson
of Los Angeles, sent word at the last
moment that he could not come. and
for this reason the case was postponed.
Deputy Attorney Rose appeared for the
whose wife the jewels belonged, and
Manager Linnard of the Maryland
were present. Morgan was brought
into court handcuffed to Constable
Newell. After the announcement of
the postponement he was taken back
TO his cell in the county Jail
Tent Evil Discussed
A meeting of the North Pasadena
Improvement association was held last
night at Liberty hall, with about fifty
present. President Eason asked for the
reports of committees on the widening
of Fair Oaks and Summit, which
were favorable. DR.. Jackson, the wo
man who has established the cooney of
tents on Iowa street, came before the
association and spoke upon her side of
the question. She related the story of
her own i'll health in the east and her
endeavor to earn a living here. Putting
up and renting furnished tents on her
own leased land seemed to her to be
both sensible and feasible, as she took
every sanitary precaution. Mrs Repp,
tenant, corroborated what DIR. jack
son said. But the decision of the as
sociation was that so closely settled
district as North Pasadena is not the
place for sanitarium nor yet for tent
villages where invalids congregate.
Prof. Parker, who has charge of the
land in question, has assured the COM
mittee that when DIR. Jackson's lease
expires. sometime in June, 1t will not
be renewed.
w. r. Root of North Pasadena an
nounced today that he would be cam
didate for councilman from the new
Fifth ward, which embraces the ter
ritory recently annexed to the north

prime movers for the annexation of
North Pasadena.
The ten proposed amendments will
be voted upon tomorrow in the four
city precincts. Deputy City Clerk

Edward Jones this morning swore out
a warrant for the arrest Of Robert
Thompson upon the charge of assault
with deadly weapon. Both the men
are colored. The trouble took place
late last night near the corner of Green
street and Fair Oaks avenue. Jones
claimed that Thompson chased him up
the street with an open knife in his
hand. Thompson has not yet been
found.
Mrs Estelle G. Howland formerly
Mrs. Jennings, has sold the Jennings
ranch just east of the Country club to
an unknown purchaser for the sum of
$4,000. The ranch is one of the larg-
est left near Pasadena, and is well
improved. Mrs. Howland is at present
in New York.
Announcement was made today by
the First Christian church of the pur-
chase of the Jones lot on the northeast
corner of Ramona street and Marengo
avenue, where the new church will be
built. The consideration was $4,000.
