assembled tonight in the Y. NJ {, "A.
auditorium to discuss the matter OF
hiring legal counsel to advise as to the
way out Of the present water muddle.
The matter of recall was strictly la
booed but a number of the speakers
came perilously near and at times theI
discussion was more or less personal
Mayor Warehouse was an Interested
spectator but took no active part save
to vigorously call down one of the
speakers, c. d. Daggett, when that
gentleman made some rather sharp ref
erence to the city administration.
President Linnard presided over thel
deliberations impartially and strovel
very successfully to keep the speakers
within bounds. The general trend of
the remarks was for the bringing about
of harmony between the conteSting fac
lions. the applause which greeted each
speaker showing both sides to be well
represented.
Many motions were offered in sug
gestion of ways to secure this end, but
finally Attorney Simons struck popu-
lar chord with a resolution commend |
ing the integrity of the mayor, city
attorney and councilmen, asking forI
harmony and providing for the appoint |
ment of an impartial committee of five. |
this committee to secure the desired |
legal counsel to advise the board of
trade in the present emergency. This
resolution went through with a whoop
of approval and President Linnard |
made the following appointments.
Frank c. Bolt president of the San
Gabriel Valley bank; Robert I. Rogers, !
cashier of the First National bank; w. |
r. Barnes, a prominent director of the !
Union Savings bank; Edward ]. Pyle, |
cashier of the Pasadena National bank, |
and John S. Cove, secretary and treas |
urer of the American Bank and Trust |

Lieut.. Scharrer Arrives
Lieutenant Scharrer reached Pasa-
dena ON a belated train last night, |
called on Miss Wilhelmina at the |
Busch mansion and then took up his |
residence in great suite of rooms at
the Hotel Green. Just how gladly he !
was welcomed by the occupants of the |
South Orange Grove avenue place and |
what plans if any were there made can |
only be guessed at, as the doughty lieu
tenant and all the others refuse to be
cajoled into Il discussion thereof.
1t is rumored about the streets today |
that Papa Busch is making all haste
TO put in his appearance here before
the young German Lochinvar can drag |
his fond daughter into an unwelcome |
marriage and that he threatens all |
sorts of dire things if his advice is dis |
regarded, but any foundation for such
a rumor is yet to be discovered Lieu
tenant Scharrer strolled contentedly
about the city this forenoon and at
tracted considerable attention by his
soldierly appearance and splendid ply
sique.
Sweethearts Go Driving
When approached as to his inten-
tions in the Busch dffair and his rea- |
sons for following Miss Busch to Pas !
adena he shrugged his handsome |
shoulders and said: Il must refuse to
consider that question:
In the afternoon it is said that the |
lieutenant and Miss Busch were out |
driving together. but where they went
and when they returned is also a mat
ter of conjecture. They did return, how
ever, and the German officer was at his
rooms in the hotel for a short time. At
the Busch home it was stated tonight
that the head of the family, Adolphus
Busch, has not yet arrived, the gra-
tuituous information being added that
it is not known just when he will ar
rive. The arrival of Lieutenant
Scharrer has caused a brisk revival of
interest in the Busch family affairs and
the Gordon of photographers and re-
porters around the Anheuser mansion
has been doubled during the day.
Forfeited Their Bal!
The five men arrested last night by
the police in the raid on the alleged
gambling joint in the Arcade building
failed to appear in the police court this
morning when their names were called
and Judge Wood was therefore obliged
to declare their cash deposited for bail
forfeited to the city.
The court expressed a distaste at see
ing Harry Jones, said to be the owner
of the establishment, escape with no
further punishment and determined to
issue a bench warrant for that gentle
man. Later it was decided to let the
matter drop.
The police state that they have had
the Arcade place under surveillance for
some time and were only waiting until
they could catch the place running full
blast. The report some days ago that
such a place was in operation in the
business part of the city they say put
the frequenters ON their guard and
made the raid most difficult.
Mayor Waterhouse expressed himself
today as being delighted at this, the
initial raid i'm his term of office. The
police deserve much credit for the man
ner III which they carried out their
plans in the matter. The $25 found on
the table and the table itself still re-
main at the police station where they
were locked up as evidence.
BOSS" Durham Has the Grip
Boss Durham has the grip. So SAYS
the popular young Pasadena physician
who is attending him at the Hotel
Green and he adds that the noted Phila-
delphian is not nearly so i'll as reports
have stated. Two years ago Mr.. Dur
ham came to Pasadena to recover from
a persistent attack of the same malady
and his physician says that the present
attack is by no means as severe AS
the earlier one from which Mr.. Durham
emerged safely and in good physical
condition. Against the advice of his
physician he dressed yesterday and left
his room for a time, but there have
been no i'll effects and none are ex-
pected. That there has been a collapse
and that there is danger Of death ass
a rsult of that collapse and his present
illness, the doctor positively denies.
Soldiers Monument Coming
Chairman Mcdonald of the Soldiers
Monument committee received notice
today that the bronze statue ordered
by the committee has been shipped from
Boston. win Rowland Davies of Bos-
ton has already reached Pasadena. 70
