RUSSELL CONTEST ENDS
AS MOTHER DESIRED
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Aug. 6.-Saturday ex-
pired the time allowed for Reno D. Rus
sell to make an appeal in the superior
court from the decision appointing Miss
Grace E. Parish of this city guardian
of the two little Russell girls and GUS
todian of their money.
The late Mrs. Russell, who was O
Pasadena woman and we'll known here,
had been separated from her husband
for some years and when she came to
deaths door she began to fear that her
husband, living somewhere in Illinois
and apparently totally forgetful of his
wife and little ones, should, after her
death. demand the children >and the
little money she still had left in her
own name.
She finally secured the promise Of
Miss Parish, an intimate and trusted
friend, to take care of the children and
act as custodian of the money, some
$4,000 in amount. Then Mrs Russell
died in peace. AS soon as she was dead
her husband demanded the care of the
two children and the custody of the
money.
Judge H. II. Klamroth of this city
represented Miss Parish in the case,
and after hard fight secured an order
appointing Miss Parish guardian of
the children.
Russell announced his intention of
carrying the case to the higher courts,
but the time in which such an appeal
could legally be made expired Satur-
day and the case may very properly
be called closed. The two children, Nina
and Ena, Will remain in Pasadena.

MINNEsoTANs ARRANGE FOR A
DAYS OUTING
Executive Committee Secures Promise
of the Use of Auditorium for
Luncheon Hour and Also for Ball
In Evening

Local members of the Minnesota Co
pher club, one of the strongest organi-
cations in the Gopher state, are com
pleting arrangements for the big picnic
at Venice next Saturday.
Hundreds of Minnesotans have al
ready declared their intention of at
tending the pleasure party and are ap-
plying daily at the club headquarters
for Information regarding the affair.
Up to the present time arrangements
have been made by the executive COM
mittee for free use of the bi gauditor-
ium during the luncheon hour, which
will be from 10 o'clock at noon until 3
o'clock in the afternoon.
The new dancing pavilion will also
be at the disposal of the Minnesotans

be held. Free admission to this also
will be a feature of the picnic.
During the afternoon rousing speeches
have been promised by several promi-
nent Minnesotans, including men and
women of Los Angeles and the sur
rounding cities. Admission to the
speeches also will be free.
The energetic men who make up the
executive committee stated yesterday
that all who desired to bring their own
private picnic baskets would find that
the auditorium was large enough to
permit them to make themselves entire-
ly at home in the good old fashioned
country style.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 6-"There's $
nothing the matter with the boy but
flea bites. If they try to keep all flea
bitten youngsters out of the plunge the

place, and that's no mistake. But,
goodness gracious, there were lots or

So said Mrs. Frank Carr, who re-
Gently came here with her family from
Ell Paso, Tex, for her healths sake,
and whose 18-year-old son, Harry, was
ruled out of the plunge today because
his arms and legs were partially COW
cred with small sores.
The matter led UP to sharp dispute
between the Carrs and officer Frank,
who Is stationed on the beach. 1t IS
impossible to relate the manner in
which this started, but before 1t was
over, according to the separate stories
of those concerned, Frances Carr, 10
years old, had belab bored officer Frank
with her parasol, Mrs. Carr had slapped
the policeman's face and Frank while
defending himself, accidentally struck
the young girl and broke her spec
tacles.
Frank then asked the Cars to walk
to the city hall with him and explain
the trouble to the recorder. Judge
Hart was so mystified by the various
accounts Of the affair that he reserved
judgment as to what should be done
until tomorrow morning.
The Carrs are stopping at the Cecil
on East Second street. Mrs. Carr is a
very nervous woman and an invalid a
large part of the time.

PASADENA PICNIC GROUND IS
POPULAR
Camping Parties Line Arroyo seoo
Canyon for Miles Into the Moun-

Popular
Pasadena Agency,
i61s East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 752

PASADENA. Aug. 6.-Full three
dozen summer camps line the little
mountain stream which comes down the
Arroyo Seco canyon to the north and
east of this city, a number unequaled
in years past and showing the enor-
nous growth in popularity this beau
tlful canyon has had during the present
season.
Through the lower course of the can
yon, probably eight miles long. runs a
handsome stream of the purest noun
tain water which loses itself at the
mouth of the canyon in the great bed
of gravel and sand above Devils gate.
From this underground lake great
portion of the city's water supply is
drawn, making II imperative that the
mountain stream be kept clean. Until
the present season this has not been
a difficult task owing to the scarcity
of campers in the canyon, but with the
sudden leap into popularity as a sum-
mer camping ground the difficulty has
increased. The North Pasadena Water
company has concluded to put an active
patrol in the canyon and these men,
together with the regular forest rangers
who watch night and day for incipient
forest and brush fires, keep the canyon
policed in a manner of which any
growing city would be proud.
But the campers are generally family
parties chiefly from Pasadena and Los
Angeles and they are systematizing and
organizing their camps until the danger
of contaminatins the stream in the bed
Of the canyon is practically nothing.
One reason for the sudden popularity
of the Arroyo Seco canyon lies in the
reopening of Switzer's camp, among the
foothills up toward the end of the can
yon, the rebuilding of the wagon road
most of the distance and the establish
ment of a daily stage line. Switzer's
itself is booming, with about all it can
do to take care of the Pasadena and
Los Angeles people who are going there
from day to day. Its many unique fea-
lures are making it vastly popular.
Quoits by torchlight is the latest fad
to attract the guests there and night
or day there is something doing all the
time
Pasadena banks will close at noon on
Thursday, August 8, because Of the
Pasadena picnic at Long Beach.
The Woman's Socialist unions Of
Pasadena and Los Angeles will hold
a basket picnic in the Arroyo Seco at
the foot of California street tomorrow

Mrs. Mary E. Garbutt of Los Angeles

dena.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 6.-The liquor
which was seized by the officers In
the raid on blind pigs recently will
be publicly destroyed tomorrow after
noon.
The various vessels containing the
liquor will be broken and the stuff will

never came to trial and the liquor re-
manned In the locker of the city hall.
Now the statute of limitation has ex-

the city and the present officials are to
be held immune from damages the
liquor is to be returned. The goods are
said to have improved considerably
during the three years they have been
