The recent trouble in Cananea, in
which several American miners and
Mexicans were killed in bloody riots,
may yet result in sensational news for
the residents of the United States, ac-
cording to inferences from remarks
made by Charles A. Montgomery
The latter has been connected with
work for the United States government
in Mexico for more than thirty-e eight
years. Mr. Montgomery, who is at
present in Los Angeles and guest at
the Hollenbeck hotel says that he is
here awaiting a message from the sec
retary to President Roosevelt telling
the famous scout to come at once to
Washington.
At present Mr.. Montgomery says that
all he knows is that he must be there
by July 15
When seen last night. Mr. Mont
gomery said:
There is more than labor union
strike behind the trouble in Cananea.
II am not at liberty to discuss my
opinions on the subject, except to say
that the racial prejudice existing be-
tween the Americans and the Mexicans
in Cananea is very delicate matter"

PASADENA, June 29-vA movement
is on foot looking to the bringing up
before the city council of another phase
of the local Edison Electric company's
operations, this time with the individual
consumer
Some weeks ago it was learned that
the consumer who desired to use the
Edison companys light was being
called upon to sign contract binding
him for three years and requiring that
should he sever his business conn nection
with the Edison people he would not
apply for electric light service from any
other local company.
representatives of the local company
now having a monopoly of this field do
not deny that such phrase is in their
contracts, but deny that the company
intends ever to enforce this part of the
contract.
1t is placed there they say, merely as
safeguard should the occasion ever
require its use.
City Attorney Wood says that such a
clause placed in the agreement pre-
sumably under duress is certainly null
and void and canot be enforced. Citi-
zens are complaining of this new phase
to Mayor Waterhouse, and it is prob
able that the city council will be asked
to take cognizance of the matter.

Fire Chief Clifford calls the attention

PASADENA, June 2s.-owners OF
over 5000 feet Of the frontage Of Galena
street put on file at the office of the
city clerk this afternoon their protest
against having that street oiled as pro-
posed by the city council.
The protestants reside on the section
between Walnut and East Orange
Grove and do not figure that the street
would be enough better after being so
treated to make them ready to pay the
pro rata cost thereof
AS soon as the city set on foot pro-
ceedings to oil Euclid aveue as pro-
posed under the Vrooman act, by which
each property owner pays his pro rata
share Of the expense instead of having
the job done by the city and from the
general improvement fund, property
owners there began to protest.
An improvement association was inn
medlately organized and there was a
counting Of noses.
It looks as though the friends of the
oiling proposition are In the majority
there after all. but the majority OF
frontage will alone determine, and that
may be small.
Other sections took up the refrain OF
opposition, and now the council has a
distressing swarm about its ears.
Oil on any one street at the general
expense Of the city was popular to the
man who resided on that street, but
oiling to be paid for by the individual
property owners at an estimated cost of
$40 for each sixty-foot frontage does not
appear to be as desirable.
The time for the legal fling of pro-
tests began Tuesday, and they have
been coming in fast. Even South
Orange Grove avenue does not take
kindly to the proposition to cover the
thoroughfare with liquid asphalt. and
is preparing a protest.
Lively times are promised for the
city fathers this summer il they per-

appears to be their intention.
