Lewis heard the whistle of the ap

Lewis realized there was no time to
jump from the car and threw his body
as far out of the machine as possible
to avoid being thrown under the wheels.
At almost that instant the crash came.
The automobile still lies, a total

PASADENA Dec 29.-For the first
time the cluster electric street posts
were Illuminated this evening and
thousands swarmed the business dis
trict to witness the sight. The Pasa-
dena band was out in fun force cele-
brating the glad occasion and for the
first time I'm the history of Pasadena
there was enough light on the street
at night, saving the moon, to read
music without running the eyes
The turning on of the lights went
off without a hitch. Manager Giles
pie of the Edison Electric company
had the posts all tested during the
afternoon and at the word from Pres
ident II. r. Hertel of the PASADENA
Merchants association the beautiful
posts sprang into fiery being. In all,
fifty-one cluster posts with 663 sep
arate electric globes upon them were
Illuminated.
This is not the entire number Of
posts set, but comprises those in the
business center. Including the exactly
similar posts which have been installed
and illuminated by impatient property
owners on their own hook the total
number lit up tonight was not far
from seventy-1ve cluster posts with
over a thousand globes.

The term cluster lights best describes

The posts turned on this evening
extend on Colorado street from the
Hotel Maryland to Delacy street, with
a break of a couple of blocks between
Marengo and Euclid avenues. On Fair
Oaks and Raymond avenues the posts
are lit from Union to Vineyard streets
This district is not all in which the
posts have been placed, but as the
city council refused to aid in the il
Elimination except by turning over the
money which will be saved by the
cutting out of arc lamps the merchants
felt that they could not afford to bear
the entire burden of the cost of elac-
tricity. AS it is the merchants have
entered into a years contract with the
Edison company to illuminate the
cluster posts.

SANTA MONICA, Dec. CAN
nouncement is made that the holdings
Of the White star Pier and Concession
company, consisting Of a pier and inn
provements at the foot of Hollster
avenue, will be sold at auction Mon
day under foreclosure proceedings IN
stituted by the Guarantee Title and
Trust company of Los Angeles
II Is understood that the Southern
Pacific now has control of the adjon-
ing frontage on both sides of the pier
and that the acquiring Of the pier
property will be a mere legal formality
as the Hartman interests have for
many months had a basket waiting to
catch this plum when 1t should fall.
The pier was built about two years
ago at a cost of more than 100000 and
in six months probably half as much
more was spent by it's promoters to
make it popular attraction, but for
some reason their efforts failed COM
pletely and about a year ago the prop
erty passed into the hands of the per-
sons who are to be sold out. The terms
of the transa ction, or sale, were never
fully understood here.
The pier is situated midway between
the Santa Monica and Ocean Park
piers and is at one of the best built
up sections of the city. II. K. Alpaugh,
