Kinney, the young Onlo hlliliOii'ii y
who is stopping at the Hotel Green,
took a Quiet little pleasure jaunt last
Thursday in his big Mercedes auto
mobile. He made the run of over
seventy miles, from Pasadena to Red
lands, in just one and three-quarters
hours. That this is going some VIII
be seen when it is remembered that
the roads over which the run was MADE
are not of the best, and that after
Monrovia is passed it is very poor in
places. Another point to be remem-
bered is that it takes the regular
trains over the Santa Fe railroad
something over two hours to make the
same distance under rather Inherent
conditions, such as level, well-ballasteds
heavily rallied and comparatively
straight roads. But the big Mercedes
can do even better for 1t holds
worlds record as a road machine, its
ninety horsepower engines easily put
ting 1t out of the class of other ma
chimes. Mckinney referred to his little
run to Redlands in the most nonchalant
way today, as if the affair were hardly
worth attention. The young mill
lionaire has two automobiles with
him, the other being a lesser one used
for ordinary riding about the city. He
is also known as an enthusiastic horse
man as we'll. being particularly inter-
ested in hunters. He is said to have
some of the finest hunting and saddle
horses in the country. One of these
hunters is Tipperary, famous animal
and known among horsemen all over
the country A string of horses from
the Mckinney stud n Ohio will be
among the attractions of the coming
horse show. The Mercedes car in
which Mr.. Mckinney made the little
trip to Redlands on Thursday was
greatly desired at the recent hill
climbing contest on the North Los
Robles course. But its owner refused
to have it entered for the reason that
1t would certainly have distanced all
competitors and this was thing the
gentleman from the Buckeye state
was too good a sportsman to allow or
desire.
Will Altadena Annex?
The Altadena Improvement associa-
ton will hold its regular monthly
meeting tomorrow evening and will
have a number of important matters
up for consideration. One of these
will undoubtedly be the question of
annexation. This is no new matter
for the residents of the northern
suburb, but nothing has yet been dis
covered which could unity the differing
factions so that application for annex
alton to Pasadena might be made.
Just now two matters of moment may
bring about the result so long sought.
In the first place Mountain View ceme-
terry is likely to be enlarged and take
in another large slice of the slightly
territory practically certain at some
time to be within the Altadena city
limits. A great many residents will
fight this to the bitter end and they
begin to see that only by annexation
or incorporation can this fight be
carried on successfully. Then again,
the need of storm water drains is be-
ginning to plead for annexation to
Pasadena just as it is in East Pasa-
dena. The same condition in this re-
gard prevails in Altadena. If the
county supervisors are allowed 10 20
ahead and construct the needed drains
and annexation should finally come,
as seems only q question Of time, Alta
dena property owners will be called
upon 10 pay double for the improve
ment. first in the county storm water
district assessment and second under
the system adopted by the city Of
Pasadena. The certainty Of this e by
far the most convincing argument fo-
annexation 20 Pasadena and the
opinion is freely expressed that Alta

Dunlap and Campbell broke away and

with a newly coined bit of profanity

whether the words were worth any

Horse Was Only Support
Humane Officer Sherwin was obliged
this morning to kill a sick horse be-
longing to a family in North Pasadena,
an act which. while absolutely neces-
sary. is said to leave the family with
out any means of support. year ago
the husband and father died, leaving
a wife, belfast with paralysis and five
children. the oldest being a boy Is
years old The family owned a little
home almost paid for at the time. The
boy secured an old horse and went into
the drayirg business and since that
time has been able to keep the family
from want and even to pay little on
the Indebtedness of the home. Now
that the animal is gone the outlook for
help from this source is pretty gloomy.
Officer Sherwin will begin tomorrow to
raise money by subscription to enable
the purchase of a new horse. The AS
ISOLATED Charities has been looking af-
ter similar cases whenever possible and
would help in this were there money
in it's treasury, but there is not. Off
