There was joy great punches of it,

The tremendous success of the demo-

was the head, was the cause Of the
blessed harmony which prevailed. Enc

at odds with him in great part because
they thought someone else might better

H. L. Buck, those who, previous to
the day when the ballots were practi-

loudest in their opposition to Mr.. Day,
and because of their opposition Mr..
Day agreed to resign as chairman after
the election. But yesterday they were
among the most insistent in their re-.
quests that he continue in command.

SCHEME TO GIVE HOUSE AND

Promoters Planned to Rattle OF

Pasadena Agency.

Telephone Main 10.

PASADENA, Oct. 1S.-Several proml
cred that rattle or lottery is a mighty
serious thing to attempt in California
and as result of this discovery q
promising advertising scheme has beer
knocked on the head.
Some weeks ago the promoters Of q
great tract recently placed upon the
market decided that they would have
a novelty in the way of some special
inducement and the novelty they in
vented has brought them into conflict
with Uncle Sam, in the person of Post
master Wood, and into conflict with
a state law which they did not know
existed
These promoters planned to build
upon one of these lots in the subdl-
vision house worth about $4,000. To
each and every purchaser of a lot in
the subdivision was given a number,
one for each lot, and then, when all
the lots were sold, there was to be a
drawing, the successful one to get the
house and lot free of cost.
This scheme looked good to the pro-
moters and they doomed it for all 1t
was worth.
Not a one of them became wise to
the fact that they were in conflict with
the law until they attempted to dis
patch circulars announcing the project
through the mails. Some curious postal
clerk happened to inspect these adj
vertisements and he at once reported
to Postmaster Wood. ~.
1t did not take that official long to
inform the promoters that they had in
fracted one of Uncle Sans most
stringent rules. They quietly with
drew their mail and there the matter
dropped.
Not wishing to get into further COM
plications the promoters then did what
they should have done at first, namely,
consult lawyer, and then they speed
lily discovered that they we're also buck
ing state anti-lottery measure. That
settled it.
Those back of the scheme were going
to take no more chances and the offer
was as quietly withdrawn as 1t had
been noisly introduced.
The authorities have decided to do
nothing, as there was no intention to
infract the laws of the land.

1t will probably be surprising to local

for some time, not only watching Pa

sizing one or two amateur infielders
who possess characteristics of the natu-
raj ball player.
Some weeks back this diamond
hunter was directed by Mack to talk
business with local amateur of whom
he had heard praises sung. A sugges-
ton from the amateur that he had
never played professional ball was met
by the remark:

WOULD MAKE ARROYO
PARK A PRESERVE
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, Oct. 1S.-This even
ing the directors of the Arroyo Seco
Park association met at the Hotel
Maryland after a summer, during
which nothing has been done to further
the project, and again discussed plans
for making of the great river bed a
magnificent public preserve
The most important question decided
upon was the appointment of COM
mittee to take up with the holders of
the largest sections of the Arroyo bot
toms, ways and means for securing the
needed land 1t was the sense of the
directors that some other plan than
buying this land outright should be
perfected, as that would cost a vast
sum. more than could easily be raised.
The committee which will treat with
the Arroyo owners is President J. Nc

and Lon #. Chaplin. This committee
Will proceed with it's work at once.

tary of the organization since the asso-
clation was first organized. Mr.. Cruclx-

Lunatic at Large Is
Cause of Much
Alarm
Perkins Blunders Into
tile County Hospital
Seeking Food
Man Who Created sonsation by An
noylne Miss Auten, Daughter of
Chicago Millionaire, Is
Again In Custody

Lucien w. Perkins, who escaped
from Highlands, state insane asylum
Wednesday night, walked into the
county hospital last night about
o'clock and demanded bed and med
ical attention. Perkins was adjudged
insane two years ago and until his
escape he was confined at Highlands.
1t is believed that the man walked
the entire distance from the asylum to
Los Angeles, as he was in a terrible
condition when he arrived at the coun-
ty hospital last night He was suf-
fering from loss of sleep and want of
food, and after he had demanded at
tention he relapsed into a condition Of
raving insanity.
Before he was committed to High
lands two years ago Perkins gained
much notoriety on account of his at
tentions to Miss Cora Auten, daughter
of Chicago millionaire whom, in his
delusion, he believed was in love with
him.
Perkins followed Miss Auten about
the country annoying her with his at
tentions and when she arrived in Pasa-
her. He wrote many letters to the
young woman, some of which were
obscene. His arrest was caused by
II. l.. Auten, father of Miss Auten, and
Perkins was prosecuted on the charge
of sending obscene letters through the
mails.
Through techncality Perkins was
not convicted on that charge but was
committed to the insane asylum.
Picks Lock of His Cell
Perkins escape from the asylum was
effected by picking the lock of his
cell. He was notoriously clever with
tools of all descriptions, which fact
made the guards at the asylum take
special care to prevent his escape.
For two years they were successful,
but he finally eluded their vigilance
and made his escape.
One feature of the case which baffled
explanation is that while Perkins was
dressed in old and worn clothing when
he made his escape from the institu-
ton when he walked into the county
hospital he was attired in a new and
expensive suit. No attempt has been
made to. discover how the insane man
succeeded in securing the outfit.
Another mysterious feature is that
Perkins left the asylum Wednesday
hospital last night at O'Clock.
-The distance from Highlands to Los
Angeles is not far from seventy-five
miles. This distance Perkins covered
in less than eighteen hours. 1t is be-
lieved that he walked the entire dis
tance, but how he succeeded in travel
ing at the rate which he must have to
arrive in this city as quickly as he
did, it was impossible to ascertain.
Perkins will be kept at the county
hospital until he recovers at least
partially from the state of exhaustion
in which he is. He will then be re-
turned to the state asylum at Patton.
Within an hour after Perkins es-
capped from the asylum T. l.. Auten,
who has a winter home at 119 North
Madison avenue, Pasadena, was noti-
fled that the maniac was at large.
The authorities were at once notified
and half dozen officers were detailed
to watch the Auten home. Mr.. Auten
was much relieved last night when a
Herald representative told him that
