Too Poor to Hold Office
John G. Wickser, who is stopping at
the Hotel Maryland, is said to be one
of the brightest politicians in the EN-
pire state. He halls from Buffalo, N.
Y, and served term or two as state
treasurer, finally declining renomina-
tion for the position on the jocular
ground that he was too poor to keep
the job any longer" Since his retire
ment from that office his name has
been mentioned for other offices, most
recently for the office of state super
intendent of banking.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Wick
ser lost wallet a few days ago con-
atining $500 in drafts and that the next
day "a Pasadena mail carrier found the
wallet and contents untouched in a
local Letter box and returned it to its
owner.
Medical Circulars Annoy
Many indignant citizens are COM
planning to Postmaster Wood this
week because of Il great mass of So
called medical circulars which have
been coming through the mails ad-
dressed TO women and young girls of
the community. One prominent man
brought in a copy of the circular which
had come addressed personally to his
15-year-old daughter.
Janitor Seriously Injured
William CARRIER, janitor of the Kin
ney-Kendall building, fell from step
ladder this forenoon and struck his
head on the stone sidewalk. The shock
rendered him unconscious and tonight
he is reported to be in a dangerous
condition, with n probable concussion
OF the brain. CARRIER is crippled by the
loss of one arm and when his ladder
was logged slightly by a passerby, lost
his balance and fell aWl<wardly.
Mr.. Durham Dimes
Israel w. Durham, the retired boss
manipulation of things political in the
Quaker City, took dinner with friends
this evening at a prominent ColOradO
street hostery Either this or certain
guests of the hotel who were seated
in the lobby when the gentleman
passed into the dining room are greatly
mistaken as to the question of identity.
Inquiry at the hotel desk later in the
evening did not result in clearing UP
the mystery and so the statement must
be taken with reservations. However,
MIR. Durham is still in Pasadena-very
still, in fact.
Crown City Notes
