PASADENA. Jan. 1S.-For several
days complaint has been made that a
band of gypses in North Pasadena has
been more and more nuisance, but no
actual complaint upon which they
could be arrested was made Today
a wagonful of them, two men, two wo-
men and nine little children were taken
to the station by Capt. Austin for beg
ing on North Madison avenue. The
outfit was a sorry sight between rags
and uncleanliness and at the station
the only one of the group who could
speak English said they were on their
way from San Diego to San Francisco,
and were but telling fortunes on their
way to pick up little money. They
were arraigned before Judge Congdon
this afternoon and tomorrow will prob-
ably be assisted out of the city. But
the woes of the gypsies did not end at
the police station, for the eagle-eyed
officer of the Humane society espied
them and found one of the horses to
be little but skin and bones, with two
deep wounds on the hips. This second
gang was allowed to leave town under
a suspended charge of cruelty to ami
mails.
One of the charges of assault with
intent to murder. brought against DR..
Samuel M. Woodbridge by Mrs. Eunice
Groome, his mother-in-law, was dis
missed today by District Attorney
Fredericks. This was the complaint
filed before Justice Glover of South
Pasadena. One charge of intent to-
kill still remains against the doctor and
is pending in Justice Pierce's court. 1t
has been set for February 2. This al
legged assault upon which the complaint
is based is said to have been made
upon Mrs. Groome the last day of De-
cember, 1903.
More than ordinary interest is taken
in the coming debate Friday evening
between the Pasadena high school and
Throop Polytechnic institute which
takes place in the assembly hall of the
institute under the general charge of
the Interscholastic League of Southern
California, and which is one in a series
to be held by the various educational
institutions of this part of the state.
The question for debate is: Resolved,
that the United States was not justified
in recognizing the state of Panama as
an independent republic"
The affirmative is to be maintained
by Walter Pittinger and Arthur Dun
ming, two of Throops best speakers
and brightest thinkers. From the
high school Frank Russell and Harold
Lucas will attend to the negative side
of the argument. Russell is the high
schools bright and particular star in
debate, for he won in every contest last
year, even though his side did not al
ways win. President Wadsworth of
Occidental college and Prof. George
Summer of Pomona college are to be
two of the judges, and the third has
not yet been selected. Mr.. Elliott,
Miss Bessie Woodville and Miss Flor
ence Bland are to give the music of the
program.
