PASADENA, Jan. 29.-The electors
Of the Pasadena city school district
were practically unit today in voic-
ing their support of the proposed bond
ing scheme to raise $t50,000 for new
buildings and new equipment. There
were only 464 votes cast during the
day. OF these 429 we're in favor of the
issue, 80 were against it and votes
had to be thrown out on technical
grounds, 1t being impossible to deter
mine Just what the voters desired by
the markings on the ballots. one week
from today the votes will be formally
canvassed and certified to the super
visors, who will issue and sell the
bonds The members of the board of
education are very much pleased at
the confidence the people of the dis
trfct have shown I'm today's election,
their only regret baing that the total
vote was so small. At the annual cleo
tion held last summer some 1900 votes
were cast out of possible four or five
thousand in the district. But the very
smallness of the vote today is taken
to indicate that the people were salts
fed the bond issue would be author
ized without their votes in its favor
and therefore remained away from the
polls.

Alleged "BIind Pig"
Chief of Police Pinkham and Patrol |
man Coping dropped in on an alleged |
,blind pig in North Pasadena late TO- |
night and arrested Henry Williams, the
owner of the place. Williams runs |
pool room on North Fair Oaks avenue |
above Logan street. and sells SOFT |
drinks. The police have had the place
under surveillance for some time ana
gardually accumulated what they be-
lieve to be sufficient evidence TO con-
Wet the proprietor of selling beer and
whisky in violation of city ordinance
No. 30. When arrested tonight Will
liams admitted keeping the liquor at
his pool room but claimed that it was
solely for his own use. He deposited |
500 cash for his appearance at p. m
tomorrow before Police Judge Wood
and was released Williams is the man
who came into prominence rev
months ago through the melodramatic
stories of his daughter, Eleanor who
pretended to have been kidnapped and
carried to Los Angeles, where she made
a thrilling escape. When her story
was investigated by the police the girl
broke down and confessed that the
entire fearful tale was the product of
her imagination. A portion of her
story related to strange man who put
poison into her fathers beer. Will
liams stood by his daughter until she
made her confession.
DR.. Sherry for Senator
1t is stated tonight on authority
which is indisputable that when State
Senator Ben w Hahn begins his cam
paign for another term as state SEN
ator he is likely TO be confronted by
new and vigorous as well as dangerous
opponent. DR.. Henry Sherry, a we'll
known and popular practicing physi-
clan of South Pasadena. with offices
in Pasadena, is to be that candidate
and is said to have been grooming for
the race for some little time. Dr. Sher-
ry is not willing tonight to state pos
itively that his intentions are as given
here, but of the truth of the statement
there can be little doubt. Senator Hahn
has not positively announced that he
will be candidate to succeed himself,
but local politicians say that he GER
tainly WILL DR.. Sherry has been ac-
lively interested in political matters
since taking up his residence here. but
has never yet aspired to an office.
Some months ago Attorney Elmer l.
Moody of this city announced his can
didacy for the office of state senator.
The contest bids fair to be as pretty
three-cornered political game as this

Business Reasons Solely
The resignation OF Auditor and As
SCISSOR George F. Kernaghan was the
topic of general comment about the
city today. The simple statement in
the letter of resignation assigning the |
press of business matters as the reason |
for dropping the duties of the office has |
not met with universal acceptance and |
the politicians have been striving hard |
to read some hidden reason between |
the lines. Thus far no quarrel between |
the city auditor and the other men, |
bers of the administration has been
unearthed and the assertion that Mr..
Kernaghan is piqued at not being likely
TO head the city's water commission,
should there be one, is not deemed
worthy of serious consideration. Mr..
Kernaghan insists that there is no other
reason for his resignation than the
one assigned and his friends are inclined
to accept his explanation. AS yet there
has been no hint OF the mayors action
In choosing Mr.. Kernaghan's successor.
