PASADENA. March fit is the
grandest location for a college l have
ever SEEN" was the remark of Land
scape Architect George Cook, when
shown the proposed site for the Wom-
ans college this afternoon.
Mr.. Cook is Junior member of the
famous New York firm of Parson &
Cook and at the invitation of several
friends Of the proposed college he
visited the site and studied its possi-
bilities as they appealed to the prac-
ticed eye of a landscape gardener ac-
customed TO the designing of great
parks.
In his visit to the college site this
afternoon Mr.. Cook was accompanied
by DR.. George E. Abbott, Miss Abbott
w. A. Butterworth. Councilman Ashby
and Mrs w. ]. Johnston. He was quite
enthusiastic over the beauties of the
section chosen for the institution and
told his companions that 1t would be
neither difficult nor expensive to make
the college grounds the show place of
Southern California. Mr.. Cook was
shown the plans for the Arroyo Seco
park and expressed himself as deeply
in love with Pasadena and desirous
of finally making his home in this
city. The distinguished gentleman
leaves tomorrow for Santa Barbara and
will shortly return to New York city.
While those connected with the col
lege will not so state, 1t seems possible
that the services of Mr.. Cook and his
partner, the two men composing what
is probably the foremost firm of land
scape engineers in the country will be
made use of during the summer in
laying before the moneyed and bene-
ficent men of that section the claims
of the big college it is hoped to estab-
1ish here by their aid.
Mrs. w. ]. johnson, whose work for
a suitable endowment has been indie
fatigable, will go to New York very
shortly and will no doubt find the dis
interested knowledge of Mr.. Cook as
to the local physical conditions invalu-
able aids in her work there.
Boys Are Incorrigibe
Humane officer Sherwin placed three
colored boys. James Decatur, Alfred
Brooks and John Simmons, aged 10, IA
and Is years respectively, in the de-
tention home at Los Angeles this after
noon to await a hearing before Judge
Wilbur on Friday afternoon. The lads
have good homes with relatives in this
city, thtir parents being dead, but are
absolutely incorrigible. They have been
constant sources of annoyance to the
police and have been concerned in nu-
merous petty thefts, most of which they
admit with great good humOr. One of
them told the officer today how he had
stolen twenty empty flour sacks at the
back door of the Pasadena Milling COM
pany's factory. carried them around the
building and sold them to their right
full owner. This he argued was not
dishonest because the man got his
sacks back" The three boys are not
a all averse to being sent to Whittier
the youngest one very seriously re-
marking that he supposed there they
could have chicken at least once a
week When arrested today the boys
were serving a S caddies a the Country
club golf links and earning 81 a day.
money which was religiously spent
every evening for toys and candies.
Asks Change of Venue
DR.. L. H. NJ. de Biron, the martial
veterinarian charged with cruelty to
his pet mare, will not be tried before
Justice Northrup at Alhahmbra if he
can help it. When summoned TO the
Alhambra court on Saturday he curt
ly told Justice Northrup that he did
not care to be tried before him and
that he would not agree to a jury
trial there, as he did not think he
could get justice. He therefore de-
manded a change of venue. This will
some Pasadena court unless, as the
doughty doctor believes, the entire
matter is to be dropped because of the
impossibility of a conviction on the
present charges. DR.. De Biron is one
of the most picturesque and striking
characters of the city While prac-
ticing his profession he has been TAX
ing a special course in medicine at a
Los Angeles school, and in two months
will be able to attach NJ. d. to his
name, although he does not intend
practicing medicine. He prepared for
his work of veterinarian in Lyons, |
France, that being his native country,
and expects TO continue in that pro-
fession. His activity in the prosecu- |
tion of cruelty cases has made him
both friends and enemies here.
Parties Ask for Trial
Parties to the famous chariot race
suit have notified Judge Trask that

pear in court with a motion that the
day for hearing the case be then and

ment of Roses association out of the !

Baldwin for G. G. West, his driver, |

fendant are anxious to have the case I

that an amicable agreement might in ,
