PASADENA, Dec. 27.-Preparations
for the approaching Tournament of
Roses are rapidly nearing completion.
Colorado street, in the business sec
tion, is already mass of bright-colored
decorations and the chariot fours at the
park are quickly rounding into shape.
The management of the association
announce that it has been decided to
allow the men already entered in these
races to employ professional drivers If
they will. and it is said that Michel
the famous chariot driver whose work
carried off the first prize last year, is
already engaged to drive one of the
teams on New Years day. The change
is likely to insure some fast and furious
driving and ought to add greatly to the
interest of the race.
Tonight President Neff announced the
final list of the judges who are to act
in picking the winners in the floral
parade. The honor roll is as follows:
Mrs. c. d. Daggett Mrs. Charles Wor-
den Scoville, Paul de Longpre, Mrs b..
A. Ford, Commander J. ]. Hunker, Gen.
D. p. Heap, Mrs. Charles c. Bragdon,
Capt. Lawrence D. Collins, Mrs 1. j..
Reynolds, Mrs. Norman Bridge, Benja-
min c. Brown, Mrs. Frank Rider, Mrs.
Theodore Coleman, eX-Mayor William
II. Vedder, Maj. Andrew G.. Myers, Mrs.
w. D. Turner. DIR. J. NJ. Radebaugh,
Mrs. George F. Granger and Myron
Hunt. OF these judges Paul de Longpre
is the noted flower painter from Holly
wood, Mrs. Ford lives in Pittsburg,
Commander Hunker from Philadelphia
and the remainder live in Pasadena.
The freezing weather of last week did
great damage to flowers and the supply
is short as compared with most years.
There is quite a scramble going on to
gather the blossoms demanded and they
will be had somehow. In the city parks
long lines of calla lilies are fiat on the
ground and many other handsome
flowers were ruined by the frost. The
management of the Tournament desire
the addresses of those citizens who can
spare palms for the decoration of the
streets. These names should be handed
in before Friday if possible and wagons
will be sent for the palms.
EIks Keep Open House
Pasadena Elks will keep open house
on New Years day, although the enter
tainment afforded will of necessity be
confined to the members and their
spacious rooms thrown wide open for
Elks' headquarters during and after the
parade. on Thursday evening follow
ing New Years day a grand dance is
scheduled for the enjoyment of the
antlered herd and this will be preceded
by an amateur dramatic entertainment
of "A very original character. one week
later comes ladies' night with cards
The social committee of the local lodge
promises that the present season in
Elkdom will eclipse all former ones.

died this evening at his residence, 44S
Elm street. Funeral at ? p. m. Friday
at the Lake Avenue Congregational
church, interment at Mountain View
cemetery. The deceased was native of
Ohio and came to Pasadena fifteen
years ago. He leaves widow, one son
and two daughters. The son is Walter
Carrothers, assistant postmaster.
Franklin Wells Not Sold
1t is stated tonight by one of the
owners of the Franklin wells, recently
announced as sold to Senator Dorsey
and his friends, that the proposed sale
has fallen through. 1t appears that the
price asked for the wells. which was
$50 900, was perfectly satisfactory to the
Dorsey syndicate but that the terms
of payment required by the senator was
not satisfactory to he owners. It seems
probable that the parties will get to-
Eether again. but for the present the
deal is off. The great northeast tract
which the Dorsey crowd is preparing
to place on the market will lose one of
its most valuable attractions if it be
not supplied with abundant water.

pose of choosing the debaters to contest
