ing their allotment of the proposed
100000 endowment fund for Occidental
college and the regular prayer meeting
tonight was very much in the nature
of praise meeting because of the fact.
Local members of the church have
pledged $4,000 toward the endowment
and this in the face Of the fact that
every nerve Is strained just now to
provide means for the erection OF a
magnificent new church building in this
city.
The subscriptions for the Occidental
fund have been made by some $50 MEM
bers and range from So, the lowest, to
$25O0, the highest. When the list start
ed upon its rounds one prominent
member Of DR.. McLeod's church put
his name down without hesitation for
S2500 and was Immediately followed by
n subscription for $4,000. Rev. DR.. Nc
Leod is quite jubilant tonight over the
successful completion of the task vol
unfairly assumed by Pasadena Presby-
terians.
He calls attention to the fact that
when the church raised $150,000 for
new building it was raising it for itself.
while in raising the $25OOO others were
served and in a very commendable
missionary spirit.
Cruelty Cases Tomorrow
The cruelty cases against Walter
Simons of the Simons Brick company
and two of the companys employees
will have their preliminary airing in
Justice Congdon's court tomorrow
morning. All three men will enter a
plea of not guilty and demand trial
by jury. AS soon as this is attended
to and the day set for trial one or both
of the brothers, according to the
statement of their attorney, Elmer I.
Moody. tonight, will proceed to San
X al
warrants against Lloyd Macy and Wal
ter Gillette on a similar charge of cru
city to animals.
The warrants will be sought in San
Gabriel because Oak Knoll, where the
grading camp is located, is in that
township. This action is expected to
bring out the exact condition of the
animals being worked in the grading
outfit employed by Macy and Gillette,
both of whom are actively connected
with the Pasadena Humane society,
which is pushing the cases against the
Simons brothers.
Meanwhile both sides in the contest
are busy collecting evidence to be used
when the cases get into court.
Regret chapin's Dismissal
The news of Ned L. Chapin's dismiss
sal from the naval academy at Annap-
oils for hazing was received here this
evening with feelings of universal re-
gret. Chaplin is the Oldest son of Lon
II. Chaplin, the editor and manager of
the Daily News. and has long been one
of the most popular and promising of
the many young fellows who are con-
stantly going forth to represent the
Crown City in the busy world. His
many friends here have been watching
his progress as he forged forward in
the great national training school with
TnIIch satisfaction and the sudden
knowledge that as a result of a boyish
prank which had no thought of vicious
ness in it the young mans career in the
profession he chose so joyously is to
be blighted is not at all pleasant
The boys parents and the lad him
self have the sympathy of the COM
munity. Editor Chaplin is in the east.
where he went with the hope of saving
the day by the assistance of the Cali
fornia delegation, but his efforts ap-
pear to have been without avail.
No Entries From Hardness
L. V. Hardness, whose horses were a
prominent feature of last years horse
show, will make no entries this year on
account OF the recent death of his wife.
He intends going to New York within
the next two weeks, and his fine string
of horses go with him. This announce
n1ent was made at the headquarters of
the horse show association today and
will be received generally with real
regret. An effort will be made to fill
the entry list in those particular lines
with some of the blooded horse flesh
owned by James Hobart Moore, who
reached Santa Barbara yesterday with
two carloads of fine horses.
A representative of the local associa-
tion will wait upon Mr.. Moore. With
this announcement concerning Mr..
Hardness comes a well-defined rumor
that he contemplates the establishment
near Pasadena of an extensive horse
farm, in which case much of his fine
stock on his Kentucky farms will I'M
doubtedly be brought here.
