FLEAS ARE BLAMED
FOR DEATH OF MANY

RENO. NeV. Jan. s.-For many weeks
past the city of Reno has been infested
with countless numbers of feas. and
now in addition to the discomfort
caused by the biting properties of the
little insects, comes the statement of
DIT. J. R Mason. of Chicago. that the
flea plants the germs Of the dread pneu-
mnoia In all its victims The doctor
makes this statement after series of
practical experiments, and is very en-
phatic in dealing with the question.
That Insect he said. rs a natural
born germ collector. and if after biting
a pneumCEia, patient. the flea should at
tack healthy person. l believe the lat
ter would. If conditions were right, be
infected. l am aware that other doc
tors maintain that pneumonia is not in
fectious nor contagious: but my in
Vestigation of the disease satisfies me
that pneumonia is a germ disease and
as such can be carried by a flea from
an Injected To a nOn-infected person"
The other medical men of the CITY
are Investigating the matter. and if If
be found that DR. Mason is correct.
some means VIII be determined upon to
rid the city OF pests 1t is also said bv
Dr. Mason that the flea Is probably
totally responsible for the large number
or deaths from pneumonia which recent
ly occurred here.

MEANS BIG HALL
FOR PASADENA
LITIGATION IS ENDED OVER
REED GROUND
Board Of Trade Committee Takes
Steps to Get immediate Possession
Of Property to Insure Building
Of Convention Auditorium
Pasadena Agency.
16ik East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 7b2.

PASADENA, June 16--News arrived
here today to the effect that the state
supreme court has denied the motion
for rehearng in the suit over that
part of the Reed. property desired by
the city of Pasadena for a convention
hall site.
This is the third vlotor.- of the city
and finally opens the way for the con-
summation of the splendid scheme
months ago so heartily desired by the
people of Pasadena.
Chairman G. d. Daggett, of the con-
ventlon hall committee of the board
of trade, Immediately called his COM
mittee together and took counsel as
to what steps must be taken to obtain
possession of the desired property be-
fore any other complications arise to
prevent.
What decision was reached is not
made public, but 1t seems likely that
an offer will be made which will be
satisfactory to Trustee Winch, an Of
fer which will at once be taken by him
to the probate branch Of the superior
court for it's approval.
Pasadena is bound to have a splendid
convention hall. meeting place for its
own people and a place of amusement
for the tourist, and the success of
which has attended a somewhat similar
building in other cities of this section,
notably Long Beach, Ill spur the city
on to renewed activity now that all
legal objection to the step is removed.
The city has a great many big ven
lures on hand looking to future de-
velopment and growth, but the conven-
ton hall project as originally planned
Is deemed by many to be the most i'm
portant and promising of them all.
