geles has acquired the entire capital
stock of the East Pasadena Water
company paying S25OOOO outright for
the property.
This Is considered the most valuable
water right in or near Pasadena. and
the purchase by Senator Dorsey is re-
sarded as high class stroke of bust
ness. Under the senator's manage
ment the East Pasadena water SUNNY
will become u feature Of immense i'm
portance and value to the new Pasa-
dena Heights property and other i'm
portant holdings in the Crown of the
Valley
The East Pasadena Water company
is one of the properties that Pasadena
did not buy last spring, and It is con-
iidently stated that the capacity of the
wells owned by the East Pasadena
company is so great that they will
furnish more water than all of the
other water companies combined.
Senator Dorsey It is stated, will i'm
mediately reorganize the company, put
the equipment in efficient order and
build large distributing reservoir.
This system will furnish ample wa

Pasadena.
The larger area of beautiful residen-
tial country covered by this new water
system makes East Pasadena one of
the most attractive home sections of
Southern California.

UNFAIR TO LOS ANGELES

The MADEIRA Mercury begins a
learned editorial with this declaration:
According to the Los Angeles Herald
consumption is on the increase in
Southern California"
On the contrary, The Herald is being
misquoted. There appeared in this
paper a statement to the effect that
the number of tuberculosis patients
in Los Angeles was being largely in
creased by the influx of them from
the east, and that this city is being
taxed to the utmost to care for them
in the hospitals. This is quite a
marked distinction from the statement
quoted. 1t seems to have been appre-
ciated later by the Mercury, which
kindly added:
1T does not follow that the southern
part of the state is at all responsible
for the disease. The mild climate of
California offers hope for people suf-
fering from lung affections and the
consequences is that tuberculosis pa
tents flock to this state from all parts
of the Union in search of health"
Which is very true and fully ac-
counts, as The Herald said for the
crowded condition of our hospitals
made so by the arrival of strangers
from the east and north, who come
here without means and are thrown
upon the charity of our people.
But the Mercury pursues the subject
unnecessarily when it concludes: "Un-
less this influx of tuberculosis pa
tients is checked Southern California
and Los Angeles in particular will
be ruined as tourist resort"
Now, why? The percentage OF tuber-
culosis patients who reach Los An
geles is small, indeed, compared with
the total of tourist arrivals. Probably
there is now no create number of
consumptives in our hospitals than in
the hospitals of Chicago, ST. Louis or
san Francisco; and as they are for
warded to the hospital Immediately
upon arrival, they are not seen by the
public. and after a few days they are
returned TO their friends and relatives
in the east. Why should all this inter.
fere with tourists coming to Los An
geles? Tourists are not more liable
to see or come in contact with tuber-
culosis in Los Angeles than they are
in any other American city. The fact
is that Northern and Central California
newspapers are too prone to throw
harpoons at the southern and more
prosperous section of the state. II is
unfair, and reflects upon the liberality
and state pride of the newspapers en-
gagged in 1t.
The San Joaquin valley is all right.
So is Los Angeles.

STREET WATERING TRAM CAR
From Public Works.

From Public Works.
For long time Milan has been cred
ited with the most perfect network of
tramways in Europe, and has derived
an excellent profit therefrom. The
whole service belongs to the city itself
but is run by company. Recently the
enterprising Italian town has led the
way in Europe by being the first to use
electric tram cars for watering the
streets. Reservoirs, adapted to the plat
forms, are emptied as the car runs by
means of perforated tubes placed fam
shape at the back and front of the
car, turning obliquely on each side
toward the right and toward the left.
At the front and back of the car there
is a space left for those employed on
the tram service, and when the car
starts these men can regulate the dis
tribution of water according to the
width of the street. With these cars the
Watering can be done in an hour, and
in this city of 100000 inha bitants the
work is all finished before 5 o'clock in
the morning, so as not to interfere with
the regular tram service.

SANTA FE STRIKES OIL
Find Is important in Proving a Big
Territory in the Midway
Sectinn
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 12-The Santa
Fe, which is an equal partner with
Chanslor and Garfield in the great mid
way holdings, has gone into oil at 1920
feet on section 24-32-23, and the strike is
important in that it proves a big ter
ritory embraced in the lands purchased
by the Santa Fe and also because it
widens the belt on the west side in
that particular locality by fully quar-
ter of a mile. 1t proves the whole of
section Is over which there has been
so much litigation and makes that land
Of even greater value than those who
have been contending for it knew.
On Saturday last the drill went into
the first oil sand and since then it has
been steadily exploring a sand that is
rich in oil. The drillers are now anchor
ing the S-inch drive pipe and will reduce
to 6 inches. The well will be sunk to
1000 or more feet If necessary, to pro-
duce the best results, it being the in
tention thoroughly to test the territory.
The well is on the land in which the
Santa Fe paid Chanslor and Garfield
$SO0,O00 for an equal partnership, the
entire territory embracing several thou
sand acres.

THE BRAINS OF CRIMINALS
From the Memphis News-scimitar.

From the Memphis -Scimitar.
How we laugh when the porch
climber carries off the jewels of the
wife of the chief of police. And we
laugh more when a highwayman holds
up policeman and u burglar loots the
central police station. That is because
humanity admires skill. 1t has a
sneaking but honest respect for the
brains that can successfully match wits
with the law. There are probably more
people who have said good for her."
in discussing Mrs. Chadwick, the bank
wrecker, than there are who have con-
demned her. The fact that she, with a
womans wit, could coax unaccounted
thousands from the vaults of some OF
the shrewdest financiers of the country
entitled her to certain kind of admira-
tion.
There is enough of the savage in
humanity to enjoy seeing authority be-
ing overcome. However, while applaud
ing keen witted miscreants, it is well
to remember several things. The genius
required to make a criminal rich would
put thousands more into the pockets
of an honest man and leave him self
respect besides. Again, there are no
successful crooks. Not one in 10000
amasses wealth, and the fear of JUS
tice haunts them by night and by day.
The world may applaud their brains
and their daring, but for crime itself
there must always be honest hatred.

AFRAID OF THE JAIL

Thomas +. Ryan, the owner OF n ma.
jority Of stock in the Equitable Life
Assurance society. when asked to tes.
tify before the insurance inquiry IN
New York refused. The power of the
commission was such that he felt able
to defy it,. The commissi- l appealed
to District Attorney Jerome, and the
| latter seems to have had a heart-to-
heart talk with the obstrepcrous Mr..
Ryan. For the latter, now chastened
and humble, comes forward and offers
to answer any questions that may be
put to him.
What brought about this abandon
ment Of his recalcitrant attitude on
the part of Mr. Ryan? Not the fear
Of charge of possible cowardice. Not
the knowledge that by his refusal he
thereby might convict himself of col
lusion or at least Of acts which could
not stand the light Of day Mr.. Ryan
is immune to worry over such dues-
tions. No, the knowledge that If he
persisted i'm his silence he would be
hailed into court for contempt and that
the punishment for contempt is not a
fine, which to the plethoric Mr.. Ryan
would be mere bagatellc, but i'm
prisonment!
To Mr.. Ryan fines are merely an in
cident, and he can well afford to pay
them. But when the prison doors yawn
for a man of Ryan's standing the case
is different. All fear of even financial
obliquity fades away before the terror
Of confinement within a grated cell,
and the casual threat that he may be
put behind the bars" brings submis-
sion.
There is hint of much general value
in this change of front on Mr.. Ryan's
part 1t affords clue whereby the
government of the United States may
trace down some more frenzied finan-
cial transactions about which it is very
anxious to learn the facts. The pos
SCISSORS of these facts arc rich, and
fines to them count for nothing But
threaten them with a few weeks in Jail
then see what will happen.
Certain barons of the beef trust re-
Gently were Caught with the goods"
and were assessed $25.OO0 apiece in
fines. They laughed, paid and squeezed
the fines out of the public in the next
few days-and are still squeezing. The
beef trust was actually able to profit
from the incident! But had the prisons
stood ajar for these magnates the tale
would have been different.
Mr.. Jerome has the nerve to enforce
what he deems is right, and the cour-
age to use the weapons at his hand to
do it with. The chief weapon is the
threat of imprisonment, backed up byI
the determination to carry it out re-
gardless. Let a few more prosecutors,
in the ranks of the general
government, do likewise and there'll be
such a rush to give now withheld in
as will swamp the present
plodding searchers.
