PASADENA. Dec. S.--The meeting OF
the East side Improvement association
last evening fully came UP to the eN-
pectations OF those who looked Tor u
heated discussion. As a result, II
seems altogether probable that the
scheme to have a portion of the east
side annexed to the city of Pasadena
is killed for year at least
A motion to include in the proposed
boundaries seeking admission the ter
ritory as far east as the arroyo wash,
Just west of the Baldwin ranch, was
lost on tic vote, while a motion 10
go no further east than Allen avenue
needed three votes to carry.
Advocates of the two plans grew
somewhat bitter in their remarks and
today it is freely reported that rather
than compromise or yield point the
entire plan will be buried out of sight.
b. O. Kendall, who is interested with
the Dorsey syndicate and others, Wig
orously fought for the larger area, as
suring the gathering that abundant wa
ter is about to be purchased with which
to supply the dry section in the north
east. The other side replied promptly
that when this was done 1t would be
time to talk of seeking admission to
v.
rock upon which the project was
wrecked, and 1t is stated on good au-
y ,rity that until the water needed to
L.. pply this section fully is secured the
present city administration will not
consider any offer for annexation. A
prominent east slider remarked today
that East Pasadena is pretty well
content to stay outside and that the
present agitation is largely the work

their properties would he greatly EN-
hanced in value could the city be in
duced to take them in and care for
them. IF this is true the failure of the
plan will not cause much weeping i'll

Automobile Drivers Fined
DIR. A. Il. Schiffman of Los Angeles
and e. C. Lindey and H. w. Schafer
of this city pleaded guilty in the po-
lice court this morning to having driven
their automobiles at more than fifteen
miles an hour on a Pasadena street.
Mr. Schiffman, however, protested Wig
orously that his machine is not capa-
BILE of running more than about the
speed claimed, while the patrolman who
held the stopwatCh on him the other
day, swore that he was going as much
as twenty-five miles an hour. DR..
Schiffmans contention cost him IS, for
the other offenders were fined $40 each,
while the doctor paid $15. H. T. Ken
dali sent word that he was too i'll
to attend court, but that he desired a
trial. This was set for one week from
today. J. D. Carlysle and w. B. Cor
win, the other Los Angeles automo-
bilists arrested for breaking the speed
ordinance, failed to face the court, and
their cash bail of SIS each was de-
cIared forfeited. Chief Pinkham feels
that the result of these cases will prove
a. lesson to speed mad motorists who
reside in the Crown City or who pass
along it's streets.
Throop to Drop Football
One week from tonight the student
body of Throop institute will have a
meeting for the consideration of foot
ball and whether or not 1t shall con-
tinue to be played here. A number
Cf prominent students will take pos
itive stand against the game as now
played and an effort will be made to
substitute Rugby football in the future.
OF course, should sweeping changes be
made in the present rules, 1t Is alto
gether likely that Throop will still
play the old game as modified, but
otherwise the curtain will be rung
down on the game. Throop has had q
very successful year in football, and
not a man on the team has been in
iured this season in q regular game.
But there is a growing feeling among
the students of Throop and Of Pasadena
high school that the game as it is now
played ought to be abandoned and
Throop is ready to do its part.
Entertain Chicago Editors
Secretary Coolidge of the board Of
trade received word today that party
Of Chicago editors will pay a visit to
Pasadena about the middle of this

Pacific and Northwestern lines, and
the probable date was fixed for Deem
ber 15 Arrangements will be made at
once to entertain the city's guests suit
ably during the short time they are to
~ ain. Luncheon Will be prepared,
probably at the Maryland hotel and
they will be given an automobile drive
around the city.

club of the high school enjoyed a BAN
quet tonight at the home of Miss Hill
and Miss Parker, 166 Ford place. The

ions instead Of around a table and en-
joyed what was termed foreign af-
fair" Miss Mary Reiner acted as

Site for New Church
d. M. Linnard. manager OF the Hotel
Maryland, has offered to give his prop
erty on the corner of Madison and Colo
rado streets and 5000 in exchange for
the ground on which the present build
ing belonging to the First Presbyterian
church is located. A meeting of the
congregation will be held December lS
to consider the proposition. It is under
stood that the Presbyterians have been
looking for a larger site for this new
church and that this offer is in line
with their search.
