BELIEVES SHE WOULD BURN
Pasadena Woman Lodged at County
Hospital Because Of DAM
aerous Illusion

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 2.-Constable
Harley Newell took Mrs. John Thomas
of 1860 East California street to the
county hospital at noon today for ex-
animation as to her sanity.
Mrs. Thomas is about forty years OF
age, has a husband and a boy 10 years
old. She has been acting queerly for
some time but the husband has post
poned the step taken today from time
to time in the hope that she might re-
cover.
Yesterday and today the woman
managed to escape from their care,
and for fear she would do herself or
others injury 1t was deemed to give her
into custody. The unfortunate woman
has been extremely violent at times
and has tried repeatedly to throw her
self from the windows of the house.
She had fancy, too that her body
would burn if only she could get some
matches to start the fire, and to this
end she has been scheming in the most
diligent fashion to gain possession of
quantity of matches. Her husband is
a teamster for j. B. Myers on Delacy
street.
The arraignment Of the woman will
probably be on Tuesday and her exT
animation on Wednesday.

PASADENA, Sept. "A new sched-

effect in this city yesterday, by which
the daily wage becomes 81 instead of
$3.50 as heretofore.
This follows the lead of the union
carpenters whose scale advanced the
same amount yesterday.
Contractors who placed bids before
the first of September will not be
called upon to pay the higher price on
these contracts but on all other jobs
the new scale will prevail.
The painters say that the advance Is
justifiable by the advance i'm living ex-
penses during the past year and by the
great demand for painters in San
Francisco and the high prices offered
there.
The contractors affected urged that
the new scale go into effect not earlier
than September 10, but the union voted
for the earlier date.

IT is understood that when Bird left
