PASADENA, Dec. 4-Those who fa-
vor the Sunday afternoon band con-
certs appear to be gaining valuable
support. Mayor Waterhouse, who voted
against the project when the city COM
missioners vetoed the plan two weeks
ago, came out fiat footed today in favor
of granting the petition at that meet
ing denied by vote of four to one.
He presented a formal communication
recommending that Central park be
granted to the Grown City band for
regular Sunday afternoon concerts. He
stated that he did not believe that 1t
would be right longer to ignore the
numbers, character and citizenship of
those who desire these concerts. The
commissioners listened gravely to his
communication and to his remarks and
then voted to postpone further con-
sideration for two weeks.
Meanwhile the concert supporters
have decided not to give any more con-
certs until they shall have been for
mally given the use of one of the city
parks for the purpose. The petitions
now being circulated will be laid be-
fore the commissioners at the proper
time and there is now every reason to
believe that the desired permission will
be granted. Just what step will be
taken by those fighting the concerts
cannot be learned at this time.
Tournament Outlook Bright
Preparations for the coming Tourna-
ment of Roses are keeping President
Neff and Secretary Carey busy every
minute of the day, but as the big event
draws nearer the prospect seems to
grow brighter for the grandest flower
fete Pasadena has ever seen. This
evening word came that the famous
Santa Ana Marching club, siXty-five
strong, desires to occupy a place In
the parade. Tomorrow afternoon will
be known just how many entries there
will be for the chariot races, as no
more entries will be received later
The Pacific Electric will run through
cars on New Years morning from
Whittier, Long Beach, San Pedro, San
ia Ana. Monrovia and Glendale.
The Valley Hunt club, the Country
club, the Shakespeare club and the
Overland club have been invited to es-
tablish headquarters for their men,
bers and friends upon the grounds OF
the park and will probably do so. This
afternoon an election was held in the
high school to determine who among
the young ladies will haze seats in the
high school tallyho during the parade
The following were chosen: Misses
Carolyn Tompkins. Florence Gaylord
Jepson, Olive Phillips, Gertrude Boards
ley, Elsie Stonehouse, Ruth Crooks,
Mary Reiner Kathryn Warner, Marie
Miller, Mary Gillis, Marie Twyman,
Martha Johnson, Olive Smith and
Grace Canright.
Young Lady Attacked
AS Miss Catherine Knapp, a young
woman residing at lis Mary street, was
going to her home at a late hour last
night she was attacked by man who
suddenly ran up to her from behind and
threw his arms around her waist
Miss Knapp was so badly frightened
that she became hysterical and her
loud screams awakened the whole
neighborhood. That the mans purpose
was not robbery is judged from the
fact that although his hand rested on
her watch he did not take 1t and that
when he saw that the neighborhood
was aroused he fled up the street. AL
though he was seen by several people
he managed to make his escape. Miss
Knapp was taken to her home where
it was several hours before she re-
covered from her fright. The police
were Immediately notified and lost no
time in searching for the miscreant, but
so far without finding any trace of him.
1t is supposed that he left the city at
once. Miss Knapp describes him as a
TALL dark, heavily built man, wearing
long overcoat and slouch hat.
