PASADENA, Feb 15.-wilber o.
Dow, local manager of the Pasadena
Heights tract, states that the recent
operations in that district for the de-
velopment of larger water supply are
meeting with exceptional success. He
believes that the flow of the company's
new well can be brought up to 80
miners inches and possibly to 100
inches.
1t will be remembered that one of the
main objections to the annexation of
East Pasadena to the city was that
Pasadena has no water to spare for new
territory. The Pasadena Park Inn
provement company, composed of ex-
Senator s. w. Dorsey and his associ-
ates, have been hard at work develop
ing an independent water supply. Yes
terday the well at the corner of Villa
street and Allen avenue reached a
depth of 500 feet and as its lower level
was In a stratum of water bearing
gravel 1t was decided not to go any fur
ther. The pipe Is to be perforated at
once and then a powerful pumping
plant of the air COMPRISING variety
will be put in and the actual business
of supplying water begun. 1t is said
that the amount named above will be
ample to supply all the Pasadena
Heights tract, the Woman's college site
and East Pasadena as we'll. This done
1t is believed there will be no further
objection to annexing these districts to
Pasadena.
Tent City for White Plague
Pasadena is to have tent city for
housing the destitute of the city and
vicinity who are afflicted with the
white plague.
At meeting of the nine directors of
the associated charities today a COM
mittee consisting of Elmer I. Moody and
b. e. Sherwin was appointed to secure
grounds on which may be erected such
tents as may be needed for this pur-
pose. 1t is proposed to buy or lease
grounds north of the city and near the
foothills and here erect the tents as
needed to care for the persons afflicted
with tubercular trouble and for whom
the society is called upon to provide
Two tents are needed at once, hence
the matter will be pushed as fast as
possible. At todays meeting it devel-
oped that the organization is now car
ing for twenty cases of restitution, two
of them being the cases Of consumption
mentioned above. Labor has been
furnished fifteen applicants and this
feature of the society's activity is be-

Mrs. Robert j. Burylette. who is the
president of the associated charities,
sent word to the meeting today that she
is gaining her former good health rapid
ly. In her absence today Rev. S. G.
Durham presided.
Declares Macy Not Guilty
Justice Northrup of Alhamb bra rem
dered his decision this afternoon in the
cruelty case of a few d.ys ago where
Lloyd Macy, director of the Pasadena
Humane society and secretary of the
Stats company, was tried for alleged
cruelty to the animals employed by the
Stats company in the grading work at
Oak Knoll.
The court finds the defendant not
guilty. The written decision states
that there was no evidence to show
that the defendant knew of the COM
mission of the crime of cruelty until it
had occurred and that it would be I'M
just to hold him liable to punishment
for such an offense when he had given
explicit instructions as to the care of
the animals and to the effect that they
must not be worked when in a weak or
unhealthy condition. The decision in
this case will be received with much
satisfaction by the members of the
local humane society who have stood
by Mr.. Macy throughout in the belief
that he was the object of persecution
because of his past very pronounced
stand on cruelty cases.
Attorney Moody, who has represented
the Simons brothers IN the prosecu-
ton of the Macy case, states tonight
that every one of the remaining five
cases begun at the same time as the
Macy case will be pushed in turn and
that none will be discontinued because
of the verdict in the present one.
Humane Officer Busy
Humane Officer Sherwin took a team
OF horses away from John Splitter of
1907 Los Angeles street, Los Angeles
this evening and placed them in a local
stable with instructions that they be
not driven further until they have
completely recovered from the effects
of overwork
1t is understood that Splitter was
intending to drive the horses back to
Los Angeles tonight with a heavy load
OF hides In spite of their dilapidated
condition. Officer Sherwin during the
day also ordered four delivery horses
taken to their barns and not used
again until the lameness with which
they are afflicted is gone. The owners
In some cases demurred, but as soon
as they learned of the exact condition
OF the animals their delivery men were
driving gladly consented. The hui
name society Is determined to stop
the habit of driving a lame or unfit
horse. I1artiQularIU uha,, 49, o,.,.. -
