PASADENA, Oct. 1.-Chief Of Police
Pinkham sent telegram yesterday tc
the chief of police at Aberdeen, Wash.
requesting the arrest of one G. TessieI
if he could be found. This afternoon
answer came that the man wanted was
under arrest and asking for further in
structions. These were sent by mail.
Tessier is wanted as the confederate OF
Percy Collett, the clerical looking young
Englishman charged with having burg
larized so many houses in and near
Pasadena during the past year. Chlef
Pinkham has been looking for Collects
accomplice ever since the arrest at Los
Angeles Friday and among the prison
er's belongings he found the clew he
desired. A little more investigation
proved to the chiefs satisfaction that
he had found the man who for a year
past has been helping Collett in his
wholesale burglaries throughout this
section. The telegram was sent to Abb
erdeen at something of a venture, 1t
not being absolutely certain that Tes-
sier was at that place. The outcome is
causing the chief much satisfaction.
Collett is said to have remarked when
he was placed under arrest that his
captors had run up against one of the
sharpest men in the country. The boast
is probably very nearly the truth, but it
looks as though the young man has at
last met his match.
Not Allowed to obstruct
Contrary to general belief the city
administration has not added the mat
ter of street railway fares to the other
subjects under consideration by it's rep
sentatives and the representatives of
the Pacific Electric company. When
Mr.. Dunn of Mr.. Huntington's legal
ofFH p,ai1
last week City Attorney Fitzgerald in
cidentally remarked that he hoped that
the Pacific Electric company would at
no distant time go back to the former
plan with reference to its ten-ride COM
mutation tickets, namely to allow such
tickets unlimited time instead of thirty
days as at present. Mr. Dunn said
nothing and neither Mr.. Fitzgerald nor
any other member of the conference
understood that this question was to in
terject a new point of disagreement in
to the row of others up for discussion.
The administration does not consider
the pushing of this matter just now and
would much prefer to have it left for
future consideration. Just at this time
there seems good reason to look for an
amicable settlement of the other points
of difference and fears are entertained
that the fare question might prevent or
certainly obstruct settlement.
$4,000 for Y. M. C. A.
The leaders of Pasadena's Young
Mems Christian association have set
their hearts upon raising the sum of
$500 between now and the fall of 1906
for the purpose of making certain addi-
tions and alterations to the handsome
association building now in use and al
ready overcrowded. This amount it is
planned to distribute as follows: $4,000
for gymnasium $4,000 for baths and
a swimming pool: $4,000 for the equip
ment of the boys department; $4,000
for the educational department; $25,000
for general construction, and $4,000 for
general equipment. A busy campaign
will be waged this winter for the ac-
complishment of this purpose and there
is no thought of failure
Attempted Hold-up
Dewey Hall, a North Pasadena ex-
pressman was held up by two men
Friday night, while on his way home
from Los Angeles. AS he was passing
the ostrich farm two men stopped his
horse and ordered him to come down
out of the wagon Immediately. Not
being armed he started to comply when
an electric car from Pasadena came
around the bend, the headlight throw
ing a dazzling light upon the scene.
With a curse both men turned away
and ran for shelter in the bushes of
the arroyo. Hall says the men were
white and wore dark masks. City
Marshal M. V. Reid of South Pasadena
was at once notified of the attempt
but thus far has not found the men
or any trace of them.
Pasadena BreVities
There was the usual crowd of specta-
tors at the Arcadia coursing park, but
no excitement. Constable Austin of
Pasadena was an interested observer,
but made no arrests. The 'coursing"
went on uninterrupted.
George Washington Wolse, aged 81,
died here today. The deceased came
across the plains in '49 and has re-
sided in Los Angeles county upward
physician and leaves a wife and eleven
children. Funeral Tuesday at Artesia,
Cal
DR.. de Biron of this city, did some
needed work in San Pedro last week
under the direction of the San Pedro
Humane society. AS one result of his
labors Frank Ardaise, a rancher, was
fined $25 in a South Pasadena Justices
court Saturday. Ardaise pleaded guilty
to cruelty charge.

dent; Fred Hart, recording secretary;
Leroy Sherry, corresponding secretary;
