PASADENA, June 22.-Growing out
of reports that the city hall building
is unsafe by reason Of numerous cracks
appearing in the plaster walls, Messrs
Ashby, Barnes and Root, comprising
the building committee of the city
council, today made an official in
spection of the premises with the re-
suit that all fears are pronounced
groundless, from the fact they found
the walls securely solid and no possi-
bility of a break in the foundation.
While there was no need of alarm
concerning the stability Of the struc-
ture the appearance of the cracks
caused some comment. Councilman
Ashby said after the inspection:
I'm general we found the building
well constructed and the only defect
is the shrinkage of the woodwork in a
few places. This may be accounted for
in that the girders were not properly
placed so as to allow them to give
some with the settling of the build

Accused by His Bride
Fred Driscoll charged with petit
larceny, was brought here by Con-
stable w. c. Austin from Long Beach.
Driscoll is accused of the theft of a
watch and two rings, claimed as the
personal property Of his wife, who is
a bride of only month. The couple
came here a short time ago from Long
Beach and stopped at S5 South Euclid
A few days ago Driscoll failed to re-
turn home and his wife discovered that
her jewelry was missing. She con-
suited Detective w. w. Freeman, who
found the watch in a Los Angeles
pawn shop. The wife then swore out
a warrant for her truant husbands ar
rest and the officers soon located him
at his old home. Driscoll is a meat cut
ter and is not we'll known here. His
wife seems anxious to prosecute him.
