NEW SWINDLE WORKED ON
PASADENA AUTO GARAGES
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Dec. IA young man
giving his name as Phillips has been
victimizing proprietors of local automo-
bile garages during the past few days
by a novel method. The young man is
in the habit of going to the garages and
representing himself as a messenger
sent by some prominent man who
stables his machine with the estab-
lishment. The youth will ;sk for an
auto to take to the man he says is his
employer, will then take the machine
out, have nice +: .e about town and
return the auto to the garage, the
garage man none the wiser.
However, w. A. Hodge of Hodge
Bros. suspicioned that all was not
right, and he called up the police when
he came to his establishment. Phillips
made a bolt for the door when the
police were called, but Mr.. Hodge
caught him before he could get away.
Then came the peculiar feature of the
case. Though Phillips was taken be-
fore a local justice nothing more has
been heard of the case today and it is
suspicioned that the young man comes
of a prominent family and that to pro-
tect his people his real name has been
withheld.

PLANS ARE Perfected TO
LIGHT CLUSTER POSTS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Dec. THE board Of
directors of the Pasadena Merchants
association this morning voted to raise
$4,000 and place it to the credit of the
board of trade for use in the purchase
of the electricity for the lighting of
the new cluster light system. The
action makes it possible for the direc-
tors of the board of trade to sign a
contract with the Pacific Electric COM
pany for the electric energy with which
to light the clusters.
When the city council turned down
the merchants, who installed and Of
fered to present the cluster posts on
Colorado, Raymond and Fair Oaks
thoroughfares if the city would light
them, the merchants at once began to
solicit funds. They appealed to the
board of trade to sign the contract as
corporation. An article in the by
laws prohibited contracting the amount
of the debt, $3325, and the $4,000 will
be raised to fill the funds now in the
board of trade treasury out to that
amount. The contract will be signed
tomorrow and the work of installation
of connecting wires will be commenced
Monday with every possibility of fin
ishing before Christmas.

Hosts and Hostesses
at Dance
Pasadena Agency,
161s East Colorado street,
Telephone Main i0z.


PASADENA, Dec. 7.--one Of the
most elaborate and beautiful anairs
of recent years took place tonight,
the event being dance in honor OF
Mrs. George s. Sykes, the social lead
er of Hartford Conn, by Mr.. ana
Mrs. A. Kingsley Macomber ana Mr..
and Mrs. E. r. Kellam. The apart
ments of the handsome residence,
known as the old Brown home, one of
the properties of L. V. Hardness on
South Orange Grove avenue, were
transformed for the occasion into a
conservatory and great palms were
go placed about the rooms that the
guest company in dancing and walk
ing went about in a vertable grove
of foliage with green leaves meeting
over their heads.
About a hundred and fifty of the
most exclusive circle took part in the
evenings amusement and the elabor-
ateness of the affair can best be under
stood when it is stated that the house,
which is not occupied, had been en-
tirely redecorated just for this one
dance.
Perhaps no more complete social
function has ever been attempted in
Pasadena and lavish expenditure of
money had made the beautiful old
mansion an earthly paradise of plants
and flowers. The whole plan was to
make the interior as much like trop-
ical outdoor scene as possible and
skilled florists had done their work
with remarkable ability.
Gathered in the beautiful apart
ments were the fortunate leaders of
the most exclusive circle of Southern
California and not few of the society
leaders of the east took part. The
function marks the real opening of
the winter season of gayety and the
success of the entertainment means
that Pasadena Is destined to have the
most successful winter term of it's
history.

MAKE PROTEST AGAINST
USE OF BEACH GRAVEL
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Dec. about thirty own
ers of beach property assembled last
night at the office of the Citizens bank
to determine action to restrain the firm
having the contract for laying a ce-
ment pavement along the ocean front
from using gravel from the beach in
it's construction. 1t was argued that
many thousands of tons of the mater
ial would be removed if preventative
measures were not taken at once, and
it was conclusively demonstrated that
the symmetry of the shore line would
be disfigured, perhaps permanently, if
the contractors could not be enjoined
from their present plans of operation.
1t was voted that the board of city
trustees and the contractors should
be notified that they would be held re-
sponsible for any damage that might
be done and that the matter will be
brought to the courts if devastation
proceeds any further.

Special to The Herald
OCEAN PARK, Dec. 7.--Although
twice before recently it has been an
nounced that the question of consoli-
dation with Los Angeles would be dis
cussed at a public mass meeting held
under auspices of the Community
league and on each occasion large
audiences were disappointed because
of the non-arrival of the speakers
there is every reason to believe that
the subject will be thoroughly ex-
pounded at the Venice auditorium next
Wednesday evening when Los Angeles
and other city officials are expected
to embrace an opportunity to present
the various phases of the proposition.
The program Is in charge of DR.. j. p.

win.
Unofficially it is announced that the
outcome of the meeting will have a
bearing on plans that are being dis
cussed for concerted protest at the
recent action of the board of city
trustees in accepting for municipal
hCilGing purposes a site in the Venice
annex tract which is about two miles
from the local postoffice and in a prac-
tica]ly undeveloped residence district.
The site was rendered free of all cost
to the city by syndicate Of local CAP
ita'ists, having land holdings in the
Venice Annex section and is said tn
be worth between $4,000 and $4,000.
Ehe board defends itself in the matter
cf a selection of location with the
statement that for more than a year
the city had advertised for site a1d
in other ways tried to secure central
Locality and in that time none were
offered that could be availed Of. There
IG $4,000 on hand for city hall building
purposes and all of the amount can Ee
put into a structure If the plane Of
the board to build on the site are not
frustrated.

BABY BANDITS

STEAL BARREL OF VALUABLE
GLASSWARE
Police Gather In Six Tousle. Headed
Boys, Charged with Larceny Of
Goods Worth Several
Hundred Dollars

Six little tousle-headed boys rang
ing in age from six to seven carried Off
barrel of cut glass estimated at a
value of several hundred dollars sum
day night. The loot was obtained from
the store of G. T. Hanley at Redondo
and Railroad avenues, and was carried
In pieces to the several homes of the
baby bandits.
The youthful robbers gave their
names at the Central station as Mar
tin WEIGH, SOL Glover street; Jessie
1anlels, negro, 707 LIE Mar street;
Harry Schulz, now in detention home.
Fred Collie, 636 Gibbons street; Franl,
DE Mott and Frank Haigue.
JOB of such proportions as this was
credited by the police to some experi-
enced crook, and the discovery that IL
was perpetrated by mere youngsters
was decided shock to the officer who
found them out.

ing olllgently on the case for more than
week, but had been bounding men
with criminal records The other day a
woman living In the neighborhood of
the robbed store, who knew nothing of
the theft, remarked to the policeman
that 1t was strange where Martin
Welch and Jessie Daniels obtained the
valuable cut glass they were trying to
sell.
This chance remark spoken inno-
Gently by the woman gave the officer
clew and he followed it up until he had
found all Of the boys guilty of the
robbery.
Boys Have Police Record
Most of the boys are said to have
had police records and have served
sentences in the detention home. one
of them, Harry Schule, being there at
the present time, while Jessie Daniels
and Martin Welch were Just released
a few days ago.
The police believe that older Grim
inals were behind the deed of the boys.
as they do not think the youngsters
could be capable of carrying out the
theft without instruction from some
one with experience in such jobs. Had
it been the unaided scheme of boys
say the police, they would not have
been likely to choose glassware for
their booty, but rather something such
as candy or alluring trinkets. Also the
fact that the boys selected the barrel
of valuable cut glass, which was Sc
curely enclosed, without molesting
anything else, would seem to demon
strate that they acted upon the sug-
gestion of some one who knew of the
presence of the glassware and who
realized its value, as boys of the age
of those in custody would not be ex-
pected to realize. Furthermore, the
allotment of cut glass which had lust
been received, had been stored away
Saturday night preparatory to placing
on sale, and the time the boys made
their haul was the only time it could
have been carried off with the ease it
was accomplished Sunday.
The police intend to make further
Investigations with a view to placing
the blame for the robbery upon men
who are thought to be guilty of in
fiuencing the boys to perform their dis
honest deed.
