MILK COMBINE AND CITY
TO BATTLE OVER BOTTLES
Special to The Herald.

Speclal 10 Inc Herald
PASADENA, Dec. 21.-Behind what
appeared to be a rather unimportant
action, commenced in the local police
court today, is in reality one of the
most important test cases. 1t is the case
of the city against Jesse Prince, driver
for the Raab Creamery company best
known as the milk combine, and
Prince is charged with having sold
milk from "a dirty bottle.
The city has insinuated on several
occasions that unsanitary milk is be-
ing disposed of in the Crown City by
the milk combine in spite of the as
sertion of the combine that it had to
boost the price of milk because it was
eXpending so much effort in getting
the pure article.
Attorney Warren Lloyd for the Raab
company today demurred to the COM
plant of the city and Judge Mcdonald
overruled the den lrrer and set the
trial for the first H'hrusday in Janu-
airy. The case promises to be battle
royal between the city and company.

SOCIETY MAN
IS ASSAULTED
LLOYD MACY HAS LIVELY TIME
WITH TEAMSTER
Humane Society Director Attempts to
Make an Arrest for Cruelty
and a Riot Call
Results
Pasadena Agency,
16k East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 102.

PASADENA, Dec. 2t.-The Pasadena
Humane society numbers among its
directors several very prominent peo-
pie socially, but none more so than
Mr.. Lloyd Macy, secretary of the Will
liam r. Stats company. Mr.. Macy
is not a member because his fad runs
in that direction, but he is a good.
practical worker in the service of hu-
mainly and has freely donated his
time, teams and frequently money to-
ward the cause of abused animals and
children.
1t is not very often that Mr.. Macy
personally makes an arrest, although
he has the power to do so. This after
noon was one of the rare instances
when he felt called upon to stop a
teamster who was abusing horses and
as a result there was a lively time on
orange Grove avenue, the sacred haunt
of the ultra rich and fashionable.
In fact, the affair progressed so far
that something closely resembling a
riot call was turned in to the police
and two officers were dispatched to
the scene of excitement, for the word
as received was to the effect that
teamster was pounding Mr.. Macy to
jelly on the handsome boulevard which
is lined by the mansions of multi
millionaires.
Just how far matters had progressed
is not known, nor are the police say
ing. friend of Mr.. Macy's, however
says that the Humane society director
was mot hurt very badly" Mr.. Macy
himself has no statement to make, as
he cannot be located.
The seemingly reliable story told is
that Mr.. Macy stopped a teamster
named Charles Kline who was shame
fully abusing a horse. High words
followed and 1t is said that Kline not
only threatened to brain Mr.. Macy
with a shovel, but actually struck the
society leader several times, inficting
or threatening to inflict enough dam
age to warrant the hurry-up call to
the police.
Kline was arrested by Policeman
Longley and, Mr.. Macy not wishing
to have the notoriety of court proceed
ings, is said to have simply charged
the teamster with cruelty to animals
instead of battery or assault. At any
rate Kline was taken before Justice
Klamroth this evening, charged with
cruelty to animals, pleaded guilty to
this charge and was allowed to go,
after paying a fine of $40.
Mr. Macy is one Of the recognized
leaders of the most exclusive social
circle and the incident has created
considerable excitement in inner cir
cles this evening. All concerned parry
questions and Justice Klamroth con-
tents himself with the statement that
there was nothing about blows being
struck brought out at the trial, though
the shovel incident was alluded to.
Mr.. Macy has even carried his idea
of humanity for horses so far that his
own driving animals scarcely. have
any harness upon them at all when
they are being driven. In this matter
many have followed.
