WOMAN 5 COLLEGE
FOR CROWN CITY
COMMITTEE SAID TO FAVOR
PASADENA
Citizens VIII Hold Mass Meeting to
Decide Upon Electric Light
Arches to Be Placed on
Colorado Street
Pasadena Agency,
ia East Colorado Street

PASADENA, Nov. SIT was re-
ported today that Pasadena Is to get
the proposed womans college and that
the fifty acres offered by Senator Dor
sey, northeast of the city, is the choice
of the committee. The committee into
whose hands the choice of a location
for the college was placed was due In
Pasadena yesterday and the corre-
spending committee of the local board
of trade assembled to escort the mem
bers on a tour of inspection to the two
sites offered in the name of the city,
but on account of the rain the commit
tee did not come and the generally
threatening weather today caused an
other postponement.
Neither the Dorsey site nor the Kin
ney site can be reached except by
carriage, so that the weather must be
favorable to warrant the trip.
There seems to be every reason to
believe that the Huntington system of
electric roads will soon be extended
east through the center Of the land
owned by the Dorsey syndicate and
this means that the cars will pass di-
rectly in front of the proposed loca-
tion of the woman's college, making 1t
easy of access In all directions.
1t has been reported for some time
that majority of the committee
charged with securing the college site
was in favor of accepting one of Pasa-
denas offers, hence the statement
made today will meet with ready be-
lief The tract of land offered by Sem
ator Dorsey is worth fully 5000 an acre,
making the value of the fifty acres
S45000, to which must be added the
water right worth possibly $4,000
more, bringing the total value of the
property offered up to fully 100000.
Arch Mass Meeting
President D. NJ. Linnard of the board
of trade has called a mass meeting of
citizens for tomorrow night at the Ho-
tel Maryland to consider the proposed
electric light arches on Colorado street.
There seems to be considerable con-
fusion in the public mind as to the
manner in which these proposed lights
shall be distributed. The original plan
was for ornamental arches of iron or
steel spanning the street at five cor
ners, the business men along the street
to bear the expense of putting up the
arches, the city to pay for the electric
lights.
The discussion has shown that there
is no opposition to the plan for bet
ter street lighting, the method alone
being in doubt. Many favor the dec
orative iron pillars used along Broad
way in Los Angeles while others in
sist that now is the time to make the
whole city the best lighted in the
country and advocate the placing of
arc electric lights all over the city to
replace the present incandescent lights.
Chiaffareli and his band, number
of vocal and instrumental soloists and
a chorus of one hundred and fifty high
school students will give a concert in
the Lowe opera house Friday night,
November H.
The concert will be for the purpose
of raising money to buy a grand plano
for the high school assembly room.
If more than the needed amount be
raised, it will go to the soloists, vocal
lists and pianists who assist.
High School Concert
Chiaffarelli has made several visits
to the Pasadena high school and is
said to be much pleased with the man
ner in which the students sing. He
will drill the big chorus several times
himself and has arranged program
for the concert. The piano soloist will
be Miss Frances Close, formerly of the
Sherwood Conservatory, Chicago. Miss
Rice, Prof Ely and the great conduc-
tor are working with the high school
students to make the proposed festival
a success.
Tournament Advertised
President Neff of the Tournament of
Roses association has been notified
that the Southern Pacific company
will advertise the tournament in all
of its magazine advertising space and
in the Sunset magazine. The Santa
Fe has already announced Its intention
of doing the same. President Neff is
still confident that the University of
Michigan football team will form an
attraction for the tournament season
and has not yet given up hope that the
Berkeley eleven will agree to remain
in training for this game. If the
Berkeley men fail, President Neff still
has the Stanford and Sherman Indian
teams in reserve for the game with the
redoubtable Michigan team.

pairing for another campaign for
