PASADENA CITY
CAMPAIGN OPENS
MAY0RALTY TIMBER ALREADY
RIPE FOR CUTTING
Waterhouse Seems Out Of It and
Messrs. Farley, Wadsworth,
HotaIing, Mecament and
eeohesan Talked OF
Pasadena Agency,
16M East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 152.

PASADENA, Nov. 13.-Now that the
state and county election Is over the
wise ones in local politics are picking
possible winners for the next mayoral-
ty contest 1t seems to be generally
conceded that Mayor Waterhouse will
not again run for office. He did not
wish to enter the fight when elected
nearly two years ago, ana nothing
could probably now tempt him to run
again unless he feels that the city is
likely to lose in it's contest with the
Edison people. That fight Is the one
thing in which he seems utterly
wrapped up and he might try again
simply to carry out the only project
originated during his term of office,
the plan for q municipal electric light
plant
1t has become the habit of recent
elections not to have party candidates
in the field but rather to nominate by
petition. While Matthew Slavin was
the champion of the so-called "old
gang" of Republicans he was not
named by the city convention. He
went down III defeat at the hands of
Waterhouse, who was simply NOM
mated by petition.
The Republicans will insist on q city
convention this year. 1t will be a bat
tie royal before the city convention
between the stalwartS and the antis,
and the side having the strongest man
will undoubtedly win.
This condition of affairs makes talk
even this early of men who will prove
suitable timber for nomination. In the
list most talked of will be found the
names of Thomas Farley II. G. Hotal-
ing, j. .. McCament, Harry Geohegan
and Hiram Wadsworth. 1t is sure
thing that any of these five men would
make good mayor and the question
at present is not who can be secured
for candidate, but who is the best
man.
One of Mayor Warehouses; closest
personal friends and political advisors
stated today that Mr., Waterhouse will
not run, that the mayor has told this
friend that he will not run and that
the field Is an open one. However,
Mayor Waterhouse will always evade
the question when it is put up to him.

SAN FRANCIsCo's
VOTING MACHINES
PROVE MISLEADING
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.
That the voting machines did
not correctly record the votes
cast at the recent general cleo
ton was shown in the official
canvass of the returns which
was begun by the election COM
missioners today.
Eight of the 125 precincts
were canvassed and in nearly
all of them mechanical mistakes
by the ballot devices and errors
by the election boards were dis
covered.
Commissioner Gator in one
of the many discussions had
stated that an informal exam
ination of the seni-official re-
turns indicated that the ma
chimes had failed to register
correctly in about half of the
precincts.
Among the developments
was a gain for Judge Cook,
nominee for presiding justice of
the court of appeals. In the
First precinct of the Thirtieth
assembly district Cook made an
apparent gain of fifty-six votes.
He had been credited with the
fifty-eight votes cast for him in
the Republican column but the
ffty-six in the Union Labor
column had been scratched
from the tally sheet by the pre-
cinct election board.
According to Cooks own
figures he is defeated on the
face of the returns thus far re-
ported throughout his judicial
district by 1913 votes. The
changes discovered in the two
precincts may result in his cleo
ton for the contest between
Cook and Judge Cooper is a
very close one.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The war
department mails are heavy with let
ters protesting against the discharge
without honor of the three companies
of the Twenty fifth infantry, colored.
Most of these originate in Massachu-
sets, but nearly every section of the
country is represented.
They can be of no avail now, it is
said, because the action was taken by
direction of the president. who alone
can relieve the severity of the order.
Most of the comniD Dhications. according
to the department, reveal ignorance of
important facts connected with the
case, so Acting Secretary oliver has
ordered the printing in pamphlet form
of the report of Col. Bixby, who made
the original investigation into the riot
ing at Brownsville last August by some
of the members of the Twenty-fifth in

TREES. ARE PRECIOUS TO
CROWN CITY JEWELLERS

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Nov. 13.-There is more
tree sentiment in Pasadena than in
any other city in the state, if not in
the nation. and there has been many
an interesting squabble over some
change of grade which has caused the
cutting lown of shade trees. This af-
ternoon, however, O. p. Gould capped
the climax by presenting Ito the city
a novel proposition to save. a loved
magnolia tree in front Of his Washing
ton street home.
Mr.. Gould desires that the city turn
the sidewalk line in front Of his place
several feet to one side, so that the
tree may be saved He stands ready
and willing to deed the necessary land
from his lawn to make the project
good. Mr.. Gould's request has been
under advisement but will probably
be granted.
1t is but a few weeks since Gen.
Wentworth altered the plans of the
million-dollar hotel which he is build
ing at Oak Knoll at an expense of
$4,000 in order to save single live oak
tree which had struck his fancy.

TABLES TURNED BY RIVAL
ELECTRIC SUPPLY DEALER
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA. Nov. 1S.-It was case
of the pot calling the kettle black to-
day when a wire contractor, who had
lost out on a bid to supply sixty miles
of copper wire for the proposed muni-
cipal electric light plant, called the
citys attention to the fact that the
supposedly 10 per cent check which ac-
companied the bid of his successful RI
val was not in reality large enough.
THE city requires with each bid GER
titled check for 10 per cent of the
amount of the bid. B. F. Kieruln q
Co. of Los Ahgeles proved the lowest
bidder and would have received the
contract had not the 10 per cent check
matter come up. When that question
came before the city administration
the offer of the other bidder, A. Roeb-
ling & Sons Los Angeles branch, was
considered. A very slight examination
showed that the check of that company
was Just as badly off as the other one.
AS the city is particularly desirous
of havi&ly everything connected with
the proposed plant and bids therefor
strictly legal, it is probably that offers
will have to be readvertised for.

IGNORE TALK OF HARTMAN
Clark Brothers Not Worried by the
Rumors of Coup

The Clark brothers are not worried
by the talk of e. H. Hartman intend
ing to fight for control of the Salt. Lake
road at the meeting to be held In Salt
Lake next Monday.
Senator w. A. Clark, president of the
Salt Lake, is on his way to Oklahoma
and will go on to New York and Wash
tngton, and ]. Ross Clark, vice presi-
dent, said that he himself will not at
tend the meeting. The Clark interests
will be represented by c. o. White
more of the Salt Lake.
1t is argued that the appointment of
Judge w. r. Kelly, former general
counsel for the Hartman Union Pa
cific, to succeed 7. E. Gibbon as gen.
eral counsel Of the Salt Lake road, has
some significance, and also that there
is something more to the presence in
the city of e. o. Mccormick. J. A.
Munroe and c. S. Fee than appears on
the surface. Mccormick is assistant
director of traffic for the Southern Pa
cific at San Francisco, Munroe is
freight traffic manager of the Union
Pacific at Omaha and Fee is passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Pa
cific TT San Francisco.

LA CANADA-L0S ANGELES LINE

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA. Nov. 13-Through the
filing of articles of incorporation this
afternoon the plans of Pasadena and
Los Angeles capitalists to build a pas
senger and freight line between La
Canada, Pasadena and Los Angeles
were made public. The new road is in
corporated for S1,000,OO0 and the cars
viii be Of the motor type and probably
will be driven by gasoline engines or
else by engines operated with dis
tilate.
Surveyor Bartlett of Pasadena ad-
mits this afternoon that he has COM
pleted the survey of the proposed line
but he will not state where 1t is to run.
The people of Linda Vista, however,
state that they have been approached
by the promoters and are now raising
a bonus for the company to come down
the west bank of the Arroyo Seco
through their section.
1t Is also known that the proposed
road has quietly secured a right Of
way through a part of North Pasa-
dena, but that the promoters believe
that the scenic possibilities of the new
road will be greater II the west bank
of the Arroyo Seco is used.
The only names appearing in the
papers as directors are those of George
E Smith of Orange Grove avenue,
who is said to have carried this scheme
In mind for years; G. II. Cresswell, of
the Barber Asphalt Paving company
and u. G. Compton. 1t Is reliably re-
ported that these three have assocl-
ated with them several men of means
Who are willing TO invest heavily in the

SERVE TRUSTEES
WITH MANOAMUS
FORCE ACTION ON THE SEPTIC
TANK
Friendly Suit Instituted In Order to
Have the Superior Court De-
termine II Funds Can Be
Diverted

SANTA MONICA, Nov 13.--In ac-
cordance with resolutions made at a
recent meeting Of the Ocean Park
Community league a writ of mandamus
was served last night on the board of
trustees of this city demanding that
cause be shown why the $4,000 voted
more than year ago for the pur-
pose of building a septic sewer tank and
mains within the boundary of Bay and
Bicknel avenues should not be used
Immediately for that purpose.
This action on the part Of the Com
munity league, It is believed, will re-
suit I'm a friendly suit whereby the
board will receive assurances from the
court as to whether the $4,000 can be
diverted from the specific purpose for
which 1t was voted and used in follow
ing out the later and generally consid-
cred more feasible scheme of building a
main to connect with the Los Angeles
outfall at Hyperion.
The mandate was applied for by X.
w. Armstrong, 81 leading citizen and
heavy property owner, and will come
UP in the superior court November is.
