Marshall Brooks from the rurales who
had him a short time ago.
He is wanted here for breaking jail,

Eight rurales came for him at night

Crosthwaite. the entire party entered
into a parley in front of the house,
Brooks suddenly asked Crosthwaite If
he would take a letter to town for
him now that he had to go with the
rurales. Crosthwaite said that he
would and Brooks added that it was
already written and that he would get
it.
He went into the house and out

End of Graft


'"There is something more important
than these things We all know that
all the municipalities of the country
have been troubled with Doodle, lat

that wherever you will find an officer
ready to take graft you will find there
is always a giver, and the giver can
usually be traced to the law office of
some public service corporation.
The only way to eliminate that
source of corruption is to cut it out
by the roots, and the only way to do
that is by municipal ownership"

Busch at Grand Canyon

1t is reported tonight that the private
car carrying Adolphus Busch and party
on their journey from st. Louis to
Pasadena is probably sidetracked in
the vicinity of the Grand Canyon Of
the Colorado.
The millionaire brewer does not ap-
pear to be in any desperate haste to
reach his Crown City mansion and so
has paused en- route to pay a visit to
the great show place sixty-five miles
to one side of the direct line he was
taking.
According to schedule the Busch car
ought to arrive in Pasadena tomorrow
morning but the men charged with
making arrangements for the arrival
of the Anheuser magnate have been
notified that the plans have been
changed and that the party will not
arrive on time. There is a rumor, too,
that the delay is caused by the fact
that some one in the party is sick and
needs a slight break in the tedious
journey. and this would account for a
stop at the great Santa Fe hotel be-
side the canyon. If the rumor be true
II probably refers TO Mr. Busch him-
self who has been sick for some time
before setting out on his journey west

Public Ownership

"The purpose of the Municipal Own
ership league is to effect the municipal
ownership of public utilities.
1.-The municipal ownership of public
utilities is not in itself the real basis
of municipal reform. While 1t would
help to eliminate some obnoxious fea-
lures of city government, it is but a
mere expediency If the municipaliza-
ton of street railways takes place it
will enable the people to travel farther;
fares will be reduced. wages increased
and hours shortened. But as fast as
the cost of transportation decreases
the land values will increase and the
difference will be pocketed by those
who are so fortunate as to own the
land.
The solution, so far as it pertains
to people, is that street railway trans
portation should be free as far as the
term implies. No fare should be
charged people to travel horizontally
any more than to ride perpendicu-
larly. No one thinks or paying to ride

Charles d. Willard lecture in the rooms

to The Herald office and another to the

specialists.
Mr.. Gurley told of the work of the
chamber in disseminating information
throughout the country about the re-

DR.. Lamb dilated on his favorite sub

Thieves Rob Camp

Thieves visited the camp of the well
boring crew at the corner of Villa
street and Allen avenue some time
Sunday and carried away practically
all of the movable contents. For some
weeks past, under the direction of Con-
tractor f. w. Riggle of $50 West JEFF
ferson street, Los Angeles. a crew OF
a dozen men has been at work boring
wells for the Dorsey people, who hope
to secure better water supply for the
newly opened Pasadena Heights
tract, and their tents have never been
disturbed until yesterday. All of the
men reside in Los Angeles, and Satur-
day night they left the camp to spend
Sunday with their families there.
When they returned this morning they
found that some one had ransacked
the whole camp and carried away pro-
Visions clothing, too.s and personal
trinkets to the probable value of 500,
The job was probably the work of
tramps, although there is no clew to
assist in the search the authorities
are making.
