PASADENA, Feb. 1S-since Mat
thew slavin has decided to run for th'
mayoralty several complications hav'
arisen over his resignation from thu
council, and while he had decided t.
resign next Tuesday, the kinks in thu
city charter upon the subject have
made him change his mind, and nov
he will not resign unless he is elected
mayor. The city charter provides tha'
i'm case of the resignation of a council
man his place should be filled by the
council. At first it was thought thai
this kind of appointment was but fo'
the time until the next city election
but the clause is now interpreted tc
mean the whole of the unexpired term
Mr.. Slavin's term will not be up for
two years, and any one appointed to
his place would hold Office for that
time. The famous recall measure is
now talked of to straighten out mat
ters, since the recall might put into
operation the wanted election.

day will be a most attractive one to
the society people. One of the latest
additions for the event is great horse
show ball to be given at the Maryland

suing for a divorce from her husband

no statement since the charge was
made.
Densmore's Wife Goes East, Too
After twelve days detention in jail
Contractor Densmore started this
morning to go back to Rochester, N.
Y, with Deputy Sheriff Hawley, where
he is to be tried on the charge of
felony During the time he was
in Jail, Mr.. Densmore directed
his extensive contracting busi-
ness as If from an Office and took
his trouble very easily. Before leaving
he told Captain Austin that he intend
ed to plead guilty, but thought when
the whole truth was known about the
matter his sentence would be light.
Mrs. Densmore, who has been a daily
visitor at the Jail, insisted on accom-
panying her husband to the east, and
will be with him through the trial.
During the absence of the father and
mother the three children, a 14-year-
old daughter and 10-year-old twin
boys, will be cared for by Mrs. Dens-
more's sister and her husband, the lat
ter having full management of Dens-
more's local business.

simple of smilax and odd old china
