NOT TO CONSOLIDATE
MEDICAL COLLEGES

All hope OF consolidating the Medica
College OF Virginia with the Medical De
partment of the University OF Virginia
has been given up for the present. Many
difficulties arose and not a few were met
but it is believed that the chief trouble
was the lack OF sufficient money to bring
about such an adjustment as would
make consolidation advantageous tc

TURN H0STELRY INTO
BY MILITARY ACADEMY
OLD ARCADIA HOTEL HOTEL TO
BE TRANSFORMED
Plan to Establish School for Boys at
Santa Monica-Old Place Has
Been Well Patronized for Twenty
Years
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA MONICA, Aug. 28.-On Sep
tember l, with the expiration of the
lease now held on the Arcadia hotel
by proprietor A. Wright, the structure
will be converted into school for
youths to be known as the California
Military Academy. Major Z. H. Baker,
who for a year past has been COM
mandant at the Harvard school, Los
Angeles, is at the head of the new
school and has associated with him
Captain J. w. c.. Stick of Maryland,
who will act as principal; Captain A. ].
Copp, for two years an instructor at
the Harvard school; Fred Braden, a
former Y. NJ. G. A. physical director,
and others. The school will have ac-
commodations for $50 students and will
be conducted on strictly military lines.
With the passing of the Arcadia, which
for more than twenty years has been
one of the most widely known and
largely patronized hotels in Southern
California, this city is likely to find
itself handicapped in catering to the
tourist travel. There never has been
any other first class hotel here nor
any other capable of handling more
than a very small number of guests.
There is the prospect, however, of the
establishment of a hotel in the Pali-
sades tract and the plans for the struct-
ure provide for the expenditure of
about $500, 900. The Arcadia is owned
by the Pacific Improvement company OF
San Francisco, which also owns the
Del Monte, and has sheltered beneath
its roof many of the best known of the
early Southern California pioneers.

Special TO The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 2s.-The city coun-
ell at it's regular meeting today voted
to pave North Los Robles avenue from
Colorado street to Mountain street, a
distance of fully half a mile, with as
phalt, also to pave Villa street with
asphalt from Los Robles avenue to
Fair oaks avenue.
The former Of these propositions met
with serious and heated opposition
from property owners along the street,
although the fact that some opposed
the work for one reason and some for
another caused a division and conse-
quent weakening of the opposing
forces. AS a majority of the property
owners appeared to desire the improve
ment, however, the council agreed
thereto.
The magnitude Of the task is likely
to cause its postponement until next
spring, some Of the councilmen think
ing that II would be useless to attempt
to pave yet this summer.
A number of contracts for the oiling
of streets under the specifications pre-
pared by the city engineer and
so vigorously opposed by street
contractors led by Blodgett, White g.
Baldwin of Los Angeles, were also
let at this meeting. Curiously enough
Blodgett, White & Baldwin were the
successful bidders today, securing the
following contracts at the prices an
nexed: Magnolia avenue, $64S or one
and one-quarter cents a square foot;
Locust street, $177 or one and one
quarter cents a square foot; Washing
ton street, $47S.92 or one and twenty
four one-hundredths cents square
foot
The same firm bid on the larger jobs
of Grant street and Fair Oaks avenue
but their bids were slightly above the
higher of the figures above given and
were rejected as too high. These jobs
were previously bid for by this firm
at much higher figure and rejected as
excessive.
M. d. Painter, whose bid of $4026 45
or one and leven-hundredths cents a
square foot was deemed suspiciously
low at the last meeting of the council,
was today accepted for the work on
Raymond avenue from California street
to Vineyard street. The meeting today
was without pyrotechnics of any sort,
being given. over entirely to the trans
action of business.

ROBBED HOUSE

PASADENA BURGLAR CARTS
AWAY PLUMBING
Robber Visits Vacant House and Re-
moves Electric and Gas Fix

His Leisure
Pasadena Agency,
1914 East Colorado street.
Telephone Main 152

PASADENA, Aug. PA few nights
ago some delightfully."- original indi-
vidual with a taste for fine hardware
walked into handsome, new bungalow
on Stanford avenue. a few doors off
of East Colorado street, and, admiring
the chandeliers. electric and gas fix
lures which had just been placed in
position, deliberately appropriated them
and made off.
The eccentric burglar did not need to
break in the door, it is said since that
had been left accommodatingly ajar
by some real estate agent showing q
would-be house renter these same
beautiful fixtures, probably. But he
did need wagon in which to cart
away his booty and no doubt was pre-
pared for such an emergency.
At any rate the burglar walked into
the house, carefully, and with skill
which Indicated plumbing experience
of no ordinary degree, unscrewed the
chandeliers and wall brackets, sprung
loose the gas connections, lifted the
push buttons out of their holes in the
wall and carried the outfit to the
wagon outside.
Then in order that he might not be
accused of undue haste or slovenly
work, he re-entered the house and
dexterously pried off the gas pipes
wherever they could be easily reached.
Plumbing goods variously estimated at
from fifty to one hundred dollars in
wholesale value, were thus appropriated
without as much as ''by your leave,
SIR"
Makes Clean Sweep
When the present owners of the
house, members of the Southern Cali
fornia Realty company, having offices
in the Slavin block, this city, again
visited the property it looked as though
Contractor A. Heinemann, from whom
they purchased the place, had for
gotten to provide the finishing touches
to the building in the form of gas and
electric fixtures.
All of the goods stolen was new and
some of it of novel design, such as is
not usually kept in stock at plumbing
shops. but quiet inquiry during the
few days since the job was done has
brought to light no trace of the miss
ing chandeliers, pipes and brackets.
Some weeks ago a thief of similar
tastes and inclinations droev up to a
North Pasadena house, then building,
quietly loaded a locked tool chest upon
his wagon and piling several feet of
new lumber beside the box calmly
drove away into the gathering gloom of
the evening. He has not yet been
found, nor the tools and lumber he so
boldly appropriated.
The holiness of the two robberies and
the somewhat similar character of the
materials stolen seem to Indicate that
the two jobs were done by one and the
same man.
Stanford avenue is in the new subdl-
vision known as the University tract
and lies just outside. the new easIern
city limits of Pasadena It is likely
that knowledge of the theft will cause
East Pasadena builders and property
owners to look a little more carefully
to the locking of their houses hcre-
after il nothing else.
