Compromise May Be Effected
But while the recall campaign slow
" gathers Roadway efforts are being
quietly taken looking to definite COM
promise. which. if successful, is likely
TO make the recall unnecessary.
The plan is to have the city council

thorize the appointment of an abso-
lutely impartial committee which is to
review the water proceedings to date
and report the result with reCommen-
dations to that body 1t is expected
that this committee shall be given fuh
power and that the council pledge it.

stated. shall be placed on this COM

mittee will undoubtedly take addition

situation. Just what will be the out

Men Offer Bogus Money
Two men drove up to the Twinting
grocery near the Raymond hotel this
morning One of them went in and
made a small purchase, rendering a
five-dollar bill in payment, receiving
the change in silver. Then the two
drove away the clerk almost imme-
diately discovering that the bill was
not genuine. The police were notified
but the men made good their escape
Later in the day report from Gar
vanza told how two men like the ones
described by the Twinting clerk played
a similar trick at a little grocery there.
The men are said to resemble the men
who passed Confederate bills on I'M
suspecting merchants in the outskirts
of the city some weeks ago and for
whom the officers have been searching
ever since. 1t is presumed that they
found the neighborhood of the Crown
CITY easy money" and declined to
leave it for untried pastures.
Presbyterians Give Literally
The First Presbyterian church Of
this city raised 800 yesterday toward
the proposed 100000 endowment fund
of Occidental college. The Pasadena
church has been asked to raise $25, 900
as its share of the endowment. and
the pastor, Rev. NJ. j. Mcleod, made
the formal appeal to his congregation
at the forenoon service with the above
result. 1t is confidently expected that
the balance needed will shortly be
raised by the contributions of the mem
hers who were not present at this
meeting.
The fact that the local church is able
to raise one-eighth of the entire en-
dowment fund at this time when so
many and so important demands are
being made upon them is most envi-
able. The members have already been
exceedingly liberal in their coutribu-
lions for the erection of the new church
edihce, about 100000 having been Sc
cured but recently for this one purpose.
