missing and his acquaintances are anx-
ious to know his whereabouts. Ehret
was brought to Pasadena three months
ago in the last stages of consumption
and has been growing weaker until he
could not walk more than block at a
time. At p. m. yesterday the young
man wandered from the house. He has
not yet returned, and, knowing his al
most helpless condition, his landlady is
greatly alarmed. When Ehret came to
Pasadena one Of the roomers at 27 Holly
street, Charles Foster, was told If any
thing happened to Ehret to telegraph
to his brother, George Ehret, at Oil
City, Pa. This has not yet been done.
When Ehret left his rooms he had
about $25 on his person and went
toward Fair Oaks avenue, as If to take
q car. He had been taking treatment
of DR.. ]. A. Munk. at 355 South Broad
that the young man could have made
the trip to see his physician in his en-
feebled condition. Foul play is not
feared, but 1t is thought that he may be
lying helpless in some out of the way
spot and in need of assistance.
Exonerates Employees
Coroner Trout held an inquest this
forenoon over the body Of the late Rev.
Kingsley A. Burnell, who was struck
and killed by Pacific Electric car on
Thursday night in South Pasadena.
The motorman, conductor and num-
Der of passengers were examined. but
no new light was thrown on the acci
dent, and the verdict therefore entirely
exonerated the employees of the COM
pany. One of the jury held out upon
this last point for some time in the
belief that such verdict would inter
fere with possible suit for damages
against the company. but when Coroner
Trout explained that exoneration from
criminal negligence would have no
bearing on a civil suit he agreed to
sign the verdict. The funeral services
for the deceased clergyman will be held
tomorrow.
Opposes New Ordinance
The plan to give physicians answer
ing hurry calls the right of way through
the city's streets, as indicated by an
ordinance in the city council, does not
meet with instant approval from the
medical fraternity itself. One of them,
DR.. F. F. Rowland, surgeon for the
Pacific Electric company, voices the
opposition. He says that any ordinance
which gives any driver of an automo-
bile the right to run his machine at an
unusual speed is vicious in principle.
AS the doctor is responding every day
to calls of this character what he says
Is of considerable interest. Other
physicians are as much in favor of the
ordinance as DR.. Rowland is against it.
Broke His Leg
George W. Lace. a hotel man, Sc
years old, living at 292 West Colorado
street, stepped from a Pacific Electric
car at p. m. today while the car was
entering the barns in this city and
broke his leg. He WAS cared for by
geon. and removed to his home, where
he is resting easily tonight.
Pasadena Brevltles
DR.. Edwin R. Chadbourne and daugh-
ter, of South Orange Grove avenue,
leave tomorrow for a months stay at
Santa Barbara.
Rev. R. r. Meredith, pastor of the
First Congregational church, has re-
turned from an extended eastern trip,
and will tomorrow resume his pulpit.
The Adventists will put $4,000 in a new
church building to stand on North
Marengo avenue. near Pearl street. 1t
will be of the mission type and the
plans are now being drawn by Archi-
tect w. B. Edwards.
DIR. j. e. James, who Is now on a trip
In the northern part of the state, will
He will marry an old schoolmate, Miss
NJ. M. Marvin of Monticello, Iowa, and
after a visit to the Portland exposition,
will be at home in this city.
Policeman Schultz stopped a run
away horse this morning on Orange
Grove avenue, but not until he had
been severely bruised by the frightened
animal. 1t appears that the horse be-
longed to Francis f. Neer of Eureka
street and becoming frightened threw
his driver into the arroyo and made
for the city. When officer Schultz had
succeeded in quieting the horse Neer
came UP, himself not much hurt. 1t
was a close call for both men.
James Carpenter. so years old, was
arraigned in the police court this
morning on the charge of begging.
The old man is one of the earliest resi-
dents of Pasadena and was for time
an inmate of the county farm But he
had some difficulty with the keeper Of
the farm and came to Pasadena where
he has been making poor living from
charity. He has no relatives here and
IS wellnigh helpless so Judge Wood let
him go on his promise to return TO
the county farm.
