PASADENA, March 12.-Walter j.
Carrothers, assistant postmaster at the
local postoffice, made public today his
resignation of that position, to take
place April 1. He will be succeeded by
Henry Ramel. Mr. Carrothers entered
the Pasadena postoftice fourteen years
ago through the door of the civil SER
vice, acting as clerk for some time ana
then being advanced to the responsible
office of assistant postmaster. He made
a popular clerk and still more popular
and efficient assistant postmaster, say
the authorities, but the constant con-
finement has begun to tell on his
health For this reason he feels that he
must find some change of employment.
Postmaster Wood endeavored to dis
suade his assistant from the step he is
taking and regrets very greatly the
loss the office will sustain in his resig-
nation. Mr.. Ramel, who comes to the
vacant position, is we'll and pouularly
known. For some years he served ac-
ceptably as deputy city engineer and
he is a prominent member of the
Masonic fraternity. At the present
time he is the junior member of the
engineering firm of Bartlett & Ramel
Change Date of Banquet
Because OF the expected appearance
of the Al Malaikah Shrine minstrels in
this city on the evening of March "a
It has been decided to change the date
for the annual meeting and banquet of
the Pasadena Horse Show association,
announced for that date, to the night
before. The work of computing the
attendance at the big horse show just
ended is not yet complete, but every
thing indicates that the final report of
the secretary and treasurer will be sur
prising in more ways than one. A
pleasing echo of the show was heard
in the little surprise rendered Col. w.
J. Hogan, who is regarded as the
Nestor of the local horse show. His
Pasadena friends, in slight recognition
of his faithful services here, made up a
purse containing $3.50 and presented to
him to be used in putting up suitable
trophy for the horse show at Col.
Hogan's home, Louisville, KY. D. NJ.
Linnard was the host tonight at an
elaborate dinner rendered to Col. Hogan
at the Hotel Maryland in honor of his
sixty-first birthday.
Put on Probation
Lee Smith and Harry Hall, the two
youngsters who accompanied 13-year-
old Noel Smith in a stolen rig on a
tour of brigandage as far as Elsinore
last week. were brought before Justice
Congdon today. A rehearsal of the
incidents leading up to the stealing of
the Daugherty horse and buggy and
the numerous other thefts revealed by
the boys confessions when placed
under arrest seemed to indicate that
the other lad, Noel Smith, was chiefly
responsible for the wayward actions
of the trio. Both boys were exceed
ingly contrite at the hearing today and
their parents promised to take better
care of them. Justice Congdon ac-
cordingly released the boys on sus-
pended sentence, Lee Smith being re-
quired to report twice a week to Con-
stable Austin as probation officer, and
Chief of Police Pinkham serving in
the same capacity for Harry Hall. Noel
Smith will be taken before Judge Will
bur and is likely to land in the de-
tention home. When free from his in
fluence the other boys are expected to
keep out of mischief.
