Il
are being circulated about the city and
viii be submitted to the city commits
sioners asking that one of the city
parks be granted for a series Of Sun
day afternoon band concerts.
Charles Grimes, a well known res
taurant keeper, has been circulating
petition among the business men. and
he, declares that out of sixty-seven
business men approached on the sub
ject sixty-five expressed themselves as
favoring the concerts. DR.. Lamport,
who represented the Ministerial Union
when this matter was up before, will
not state what the attitude of the city
ministers will be at this time but
there is no reason to expect that there
will be any relaxing in their opposl-
tion to the concerts.
1t Is proposed in certain quarters
that Library Park be given over to
those who do. not care for the con-
certs and who wish rather a retired
and quiet place for Sunday recreation
and rest and that the band concerts
be allowed in Central Park, which
from its peculiar location is not and
cannot be a, retired spot. 1t appears
that the sentiment in favor of allowing
the use of at least one park for another
series of band concerts is growing
rapidly and that there will be much
pressure brought to bear upon the city
authorities at the proper time to permit
them. 1t is not q question of the city
paying for these concerts as 1t is pro-
posed to raise the needed funds in
some other way. 1t looks as though
the plan has considerable chance of
succeeding.
After Humane Officers Scalp
M. D. Perham, a painter living in
North Pasadena, was up before Justice
Klamroth today on the charge of be-
ing cruel to his horse. He has re-
tained Judge Merriam as his attorney,
the case being continued to permit of
preparation for trial. Humane officer
Sherwin states that he went to see the
animal in question at the request of
certain of Perham's neighbors and
found 1t tied TO q stake in field and
bearing every sign of being starved
and Ill used. He promptly caused the
mans arrest.
Perham denies the charge with great
indignation, produces feed bills to
show that the animal was well fed and
says he never whips 1t and seldom
drives 1t. The case bids fair to pile up
more trouble for the humane officer.
1t may be made use OF to test his po-
sition with the other officers of the
society and If possible to oust him from
his office. officer Sherwin has made
many enemies during the past two
months by the energetic manner in
which he has performed what he be-
lieved to be his duty and these are
combining for an attack upon him.
1t is said that for some time he has not
had the unqualified support of certain
of his superior officers.
Woman Suddenly Insane
Considerable excitement was caused
last night at a boarding and rooming
house on Center street by q violent out
break by one of the inmates, a Miss
de Forrest, whose home is at Wyo-
ming, a suburb of Cincinnati Ohio. A
few nights ago Miss de Forrest be-
came violent at the Hotel Guirnalda,
where she makes her summer home
She was placed under the care of a
nurse and taken to the Center street
house Another outbreak occurred last
night, when, it Is reported, she inflicted
some slight injury upon herself and
upon her attendant. Today the woman
was removed to a sanitarium at Sierra
Madre and her relatives in Ohio noti-
fed of her condition. She is undoubt-
edly mentally deranged, although her
attendants believe that it is only tenn
porary and that with care she will
finally recover her faculties. Miss de

Pasadena's Population
Some days ago Secretary Coolidge of
the board of trade wrote a letter to the
Los Angeles chamber of commerc ask
ing by what authority certain semi
official publications of the chamber of
commerce recently issued credited Pas
adena with having a population of but
1900. The. secretary of the Los An
geles organization replies that the man
preparing the matter for the chamber
of commerce advertising matter has
been directed to state in subsequent is
sues that Pasadena's population is
$4,000 instead of $4,000 as heretofore
given. In view of the fact that the
latest issue of the Thurston city di-
rectory, the accuracy and painstaking
care Of which has not been questioned,
gives the city of Pasadena a population
of q, 500 people, the naive statement of
the Los Angeles man is provoking, to
say the least. 1t is not at all likely
that the local board of trade will be
satisfied to accept the dictum Of the
chamber of commerce.
Narrowly Escaped Death
Arthur Glenhart, a 16-year-old boy
employer III llc 5ldDlt VI hHdpp O.
Feazle, had a narrow escape from
death this forenoon. He was working
at the top of ladder above the horse
shearing apparatus when without
warning, his clothing caught in the
revolving shaft. He was drawn quick
ly from the ladder, and If it had not
been for his presence of mind in seiz-
ing the rafters above him and holding
on desperately until the machinery
could be stopped he would certainly
have been mangled and perhaps killed.
Captured the Runaways
Eugene Caruthers and Albert Hiles,
two runaway boys from Santa Ana,
were captured here today by Patrol
man Coping and detained until the
authorities can take them back home.
The Santa Ana police telephoned here
last night asking that they be de-
tanned. One of the boys carries a load
ed revolver and both boys seem to be
out on a determined dime-novel esca-
pade. They told the officers that they
had simply become tired OF going to
school and had run away to be free
for a time.
