PRICES BEGINNING TO CLIMB
Crown City Dealers Are Alleged to Be

Special to The Herald,

special TO Inc Herald.
PASADENA, Nov ia meeting of
the executive board of the Tournament
of Roses association was called for this
afternoon, but because of the impossi-
bility of certain of it's members being
in two places at one and the same time
had to be postponed to a more con-
venient season.
The list of prizes to be offered by the
association for entries at the tourna-
ment is complete and only awaits Off
cial action to be given to the public
Several novel features are provided
for, both as to decorations and as to
the sports at the park. One of these
latter will be an exhibition drill repre-
sentative of the regulation English
cavalry drill, Prof. Harry Maloney, the
noted gymnast and fencing expert, be-
ing in charge of the preparations there
for.
Secretary George P. Cary has sent
out notices today to the gentlemen
who will in all probability assist in the
work of decorations for the city schools
When the letters have all been re-
ceived by the persons addressed the
list of names will be given out. En-
thusiasm grows apace as the time for
preparation comes nearer, and it is
said that only one discordant note Is
heard
A prominent director of the associa-
tion voiced an indignant protest this
afternoon against the manner in which
local dealers and business firms, par
ticularly liverymen, are showing up
their prices for the tournament. This
officer says that liverymen in particular
are doubling their usual charges for
horses to be used on that day and
that certain other people who expect
to be called upon TO provide articles
and material needed then are quietly
advancing their prices in preparation
| for the event.
Last year something of this same
difficulty was experienced by those in
charge of the eity's great flower fete,
forcing the\ purchase of many things
outside the city, rather than of local
merchants. The director referred to
above says that he will favor the
abandonment of the tournament for one
year in order to bring these people
to their senses. 1t is not believed,
however that any such drastic step will
| be necessary.

EXPLOSION IS
CAUSE Of PANIC
STOVE BLOWS UP; PASSEN-
GERS UPSET TABLES
Frozen Pipes In Dining Car Result in
Accumulation of Gas, Which
ExpIodes When Fire
,|N Is Started
By Associated Press.

RENO, New, 1Tov. ia serious
panic occurred this morning on the
Pacific Express. one Of the fast South
ern Pacific trains, while it was passing
through Nevada, 200 miles east of Reno,
caused by stove blowing up in the
dining car.
The steam pipes had frozen, and when
the porter built a fire in the stove and
threw in a quantity of fine coal the
stove blew up, filling the car with gas.
The passengers upset the tables in their
efforts to get out of the car, and several
women fell to the floor and were
trampled upon. Others tainted from the
accumulated gas in the tightly closed
car.
Finally several of the men broke the
car windows with dishes to relieve the
situation, the doors being blocked with
passengers from other cars who were
trying to enter the diner.
One woman, Mrs. d. z. Parker OF
St. Louis, jumped from a car window
and received serious injuries. She was
brought to Reno and placed in hos
pital.
Ten or fifteen passengers were over

CITY LEADERS
PLEDGE SUPPORT
OUTLOOK is BRIGHT FOR
CONVENTION HALL
Crown City Enthusiasts Prepare to
Open a Vigorous Campaign for
Magnificent Casino and
Pleasure Park
Pasadena Agency,
16i5 East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 752.

PASADENA, Nov. 19.-Most i'm
portant was the meeting of the conven-
ton hall committee which was held to-
night at the offices of C. d. Daggett, the
chairman.
The final report of the subcommittee
appointed to effect the purchase of the
site for the casino and pleasure park
was presented, and formal steps taken
to complete the splendid object to long
delayed.
That such a convention hall and
pleasure park are vitally needed by the
Crown City has met with well nigh
universal approval, and had it not been
for the unforeseen legal complications
by which the desired site was tied up
in the courts 1t seems probable that the
project would now be nearing compile
tion instead of being only fairly
launched on it's way. 1t Is believed,
however, that the most difficult part
has been attended to in the securing of
the site as donation and free from
uebt.
At the meeting tonight F. p. Boynton
who has had charge of the collection of
the money subscribed by West side cit
izens for the site, reported that some
thing like $4,000 has already been paid
in, and that the balance will come
quickly.
According to the terms of the agree
ment under which the money was sub
scribed, a convention hall or casino cost
ing about $4,000 must be erected on the
site secured, and for that purpose al
least $4,000 must be subscribed within
the year Otherwise the grounds Sc
cured must be sold and the proceeds
distributed pro rata among the sub
scribers to the purchase. But there is
little danger of failure. the outlook new
er appearing as rosy as now. In the
discussion tonight the entire ground
was gone over. The suggestion has
been made that possibly the city would
be willing to take the ground, agreeing
to erect and care for the proposed build
ing. This suggestion is considered q
little premature, 1t being thought by
many that only when the building Is
completed and the grounds around ii
laid out into a park would II be time
to ask the city to undertake its sup
port.
In the discussion it was pointed out
that with the grounds secured a stock
company can easily be formed for the
construction OF the building, subscrib-
ers to be made shareholders and to re-
ceiVe interest ON their investments.
The greatest enthusiasm was shown
by those attending the meeting, but
aside from effecting a temporary or
ganization for the immediate future,
and the clear understanding Of the sit
uatiOn as II now stands, nothing def
mite was accomplished Other meetings
wiz he held within the next few days.

JURY EXONERATES
SANTA FE PEOPLE
Special to The Herald.

Special to Ihe Herald
PASADENA, Nov. 19.--No blame was
attached to the Santa Fe railway COM
pany or it's agents in the verdict of
the jury which investigated this fore
noon the death of Thomas f. Russell,
struck by a Santa Fe train Saturday
afternoon. Those who testified before
the coroner and jury agreed upon the
main facts of the accident, Engineer
Penlus, however, asserting that his
train was not running at higher rate
of speed than twelve miles an hour at
the time, and other witnesses claiming
that it was going at a rate of fully
forty miles an hour
The son of the man hurled to his
death by the train told the jury that
his father was hard of hearing, a fact
which would in a measure account for
his not hearing the whistle of the on
coming engine until almost on the
track. Coroner Trout presided at the
inquest.

"The Hand of q Friend"

Next week at the Klinger Grand
theatre, the Brigham-C Cooper Stock
Company will present the sterling
melo-drama entitled 1.-THE Hand of
a Friend" This play is somewhat
different than any of the other plays
so far presented at this theatre,
some of the scenes are laid in the
silver mines of Colorado, where the
hero and heroine have gone to re-
trieve their lost fortunes. The first
act shows how they are cruelty rob-
bed and their father basely mur-
dered. The other acts are Rocky
Mountain scenes, and show the trials
and dangers of the Colorado wilder
ness in the early days, and in the
last act is shown how the scheming
villains are finally outwitted by an
Ingenious Irishman, who also fur
nishes the comedy of the play. The
scenes are thrilling, in fact, of the
genuine melo-dramatic type. To-
night and tomorrow night will be the
last performances of "The County
Sheriff." which has been so popular
all week.

never refused any candidate spch
a right, as have always considerea
that they were entitled to see than

Last year Governor Chamber,a,,

Having always been ready and
