Boom Arroyo Park
At a meeting Of the directors Of the
local board of trade last night at the
Hotel Maryland steps were taken to
boom the proposed requirement Of the
Arroyo Seco properties for city park.
~. r. Hahn, j. w. Wood and w. A,
ButterwOrth were chosen to prepare
suitable resolutions for presentation to
the city commissioners In support Of
the project Another committee was
authorized which shall consider the
several schemes for annexation to the
city such as the East Pasadena, South
Pasadena and Altadena districts and
IL possible render whatever assistance
may be needed. President Lnnard has
not yet appointed this committee. It
Is barely possible that the proposed
consolidation with Los Angeles will be
left in the hands of this latter COM
mittee. although the sentiment is still
strong here to the effect that only on
the matter of n water supply can the
two cities work together successfully.
In line with this matter was the dis
cussion of the Owens river project last
night at the meeting of the Mems club
of All Saints church by Attorney Earl
Rogers of Los Angeles, a discussion
which was participated I'm by Judge
Klamroth. Assemblyman Goodrich and
President Il. II. May of the First Ma
tional bank.

G. D. Stevens of Monrovia was ar
rested this morning by Constable Har-
ley Newell on the complaint of John T.
Haynes. charging him with cruelty to
his horse. He was arraigned before
Justice Congdm and next Saturday
morning set for his hearing. A similar
arrest was made this afternoon by Of |
ficer Sherwin. the complaint being
sworn to by S. A. Shook, who charged
his neighbor, Matthew Smith, at the |
corner of Lincoln avenue and WASH
ington street, with having cruelty |
treated his team of horses on Sunday |
last while plowing. Smith was taken |
before Justice Klamroth. entered a |
plea of not guilty and had his hearing |
set for Friday morning at 10 o'clock |
Smith has had trouble with the local
humane society several times and its |
officers have been obliged to take three |
horses from him and kill them as
totally unfit for further service. The
humane society officers took two horses |
away this afternoon from Mexiomas
on the Chapman ranch and anoth9r
X,
all three animals being old and de-
crepit. The horses will be killed.
Criticlse Roosevelt Wedding
At the meeting of the Women's
Socialist union yesterday the recent
wedding of Miss Alice Roosevelt and
Congressman Longworth was severely
criticised. One speaker referred to the
statement that the wedding was
f-fr mn Ifaitx
Simplicity existed only in the imagin-
alton of the writer. Simple, when the
flowers for decoration cost $4,000, sum
which would keep five families for a |
year. All for parade and for show, and |
who pays for it all? Not the elite who
were invited to the wedding, but the
working people of America. A wedding
costing close on a million dollars for
the daughter Of the chief executive, a |
Boston bull terrier with handkerchief,
coat, silver plate and jeweled collar,
while thousands of free born American
citizens StarVe, freeze and die for the
want of the necessities of life-it is |
not just nor right" The sentiment was
vigorously applauded by the women.
Other speakers referred to the proba-
bility of war with China as being de-
sired by capitalists to divert atten-
tion from the recent exposures of graft.
The women of this novel society meet |
weekly and handle current affairs with |
ungloved hands as witness the two !
topics mentioned.
