the county hospital. The body is now
at the undertaking parlors Of Ives SS
Warren, awaiting instructions from the
east as to it's interment.
Jordan was recently discovered at 81
South Fair Oaks avenue in deplorable
condition. Although only 36 years old,
he was suffering from an incurable
malady which made him difficult to
handle. The Associated Charities rem
dered him assistance, as did many pri-
vate individuals, notably Maj. Green,
a temporary resident at the Hotel Ray
mond, and the man was finally taken
to the Pasadena hospital and later to
the county hospital, where he died.
1t develops that Jordan served hon
orably in the Spanish-American war
and that he has a wife in San Fran
cisco, from whom he was separated
some time since.
Papers on his person indicate that
his sister is at the head of the st.
Johns academy at Manlius. n. Y.
that one brother-in-law is an editor
of the Detroit Free Press and another
a professor in Harvard university.
1t is believed that these relatives will
not allow the body to be inferred in
potters field when they know Of his
death.
Street Car Blockade
The charming absurdity of a single
street car track in the busiest part of
East Colorado street was borne home
to a great many people this afternoon
by a peculiar blockade at the corner
of Colorado street and Raymond ave-
nue.. Between Marengo and Broadway
the street car track, which is double
tracked both east and west of the con-
gested business section, is narrowed
to one track. Cars going west must
clear. At 4:30 this afternoon car No.
153, eastbound, met car No. 81, west
bound, at this busy corner, the motor
men of both cars claiming the right
of way, and as neither would give way
street car traffic was suspended for
some time. Another car came up and
automobiles and carriages, making
their way with difficulty, added to the
mixup.
Patrolman Palmer tried to persuade
one or the other of the disputants to
move, but not knowing just how far
his rights extended could not threaten
arrest. The impatient passengers left
both cars and finished the balance of
their journeys on foot, while the mo-
tormen sat like statues and glared at
each other. Finally the motorman of
car No. 81 weakened and backed out
of the way and traffic was resumed to
the delight of a suffering public.
Supervisors Here Tomorrow
At 10 a. m. tomorrow, weather per-
mitting, the county supervisors will
visit this city for an inspection of the
storm water situation of the section to
the north. They will be met as they
alight from the car by the following
committee of prominent Altadena citi-
zens: P. J. McNally, F. w. Kellogg,
]. l.. Stanham, George Maharry and
j. A. Elms. Carriages will be secured
and the party will set out al once for
tour of the district. In view of the
devastation made by the riot of storm
water during Saturday no better time
for such visitation could have been Sc
cured. At Altadena other we'll known
citizens are expected to join the party
and lunch will be served at La Mari
posa hotel. to be followed by an in
formal interchange of views on the one
important topic of the storm water dis
trict. The necessity of immediate ac-
tion will be urged by the Altadenans
and it is believed that it will not be
difficult to convince the visitors that
something must be done and done at
once for the relief of the foothill city.
Committed to Whittier
bud" Lewis, the 47-year-old widower,
who is determined to marry 16-year-old
Nellie Mundell caused Probation Off,
Ger Dodds of this city to produce the
girl this forenoon in the court of ap-
peals at Los Angeles on a writ of
habeas corpus. The court, however,
sustained the previous ruling of Judge
Wilbur, who committed the girl to the
detention home for six months, and the
persistent wooing of Lewis again went
for naught.
Officers of the Pasadena Humane So
ciety, who removed the girl from the
Leach family a few weeks ago and
have been endeavoring to prevent her
marriage to Lewis, decided this after
noon to cause the girls arrest as an
incorrigible child. Should this conten-
tion be upheld, Miss Nellie is likely to
be sent to Whittier which will eff
fectually put an end to the strenuous
courtship of the Grown city man.
Rap for Standard oiI7
Standard Oil interests received a rap
this afternoon which will probably add
another trouble to the heavy load of
John D. Rockefeller. Humane Officer
Sherwin found G. D. Terpennlng, driver
for the. local Standard Oil agency, driv-
ing a very lame horse hitched to the
delivery wagon and promptly ordered
the animal taken to the stables to
remain until the 1ameness is entirely
gone. Ihe same treatment was aC-
corded an animal being driven to one
of the Raab dairy wagons this after
noon. The officers of the Humane So
ciety will not allow people to drive
lame horses when 1t is possible to stop
1t and will appeal to the courts should
such course be necessary,
