union came to an end tonight, aften
what Is generally claimed to have been
one of the brightest and most en-
thusiastic sessions known in the his
tory of the organization.
Today was full of the business af-
fairs Of a busy organization, but the
delegates found time to listen to a
number of eloquent speeches, notable
among them being that of District At
torney John u. Fredericks, who told
something of his experience with the
professional politician.
''You would not hire man chiefly
because he wanted the job" said the\
district attorney, land yet this is just
about what you do when you have an
office you want to fill. A man usually
gets into public office because he wants
to get in. He decides that he wants q
public job and his friends help him
get 1t. When you find a man who
shows too much zeal in this direction
look out for him. Then study your
government. When you know that
thoroughly you will be able to study
the men you are asked to put in office
and you will know how their official
acts will affect yod."
Supervisor Alexander followed Mr.
Frederioks with brief talk along the
same line of good citizenship.

kernaghan Out Feb. %
City Auditor George F. Kernaghan
will retire from his office on the even
Ing of February 2S. This is the sub
stance of his statement to Mayor Wa
terhouse in writing this afternoon and
puts a period to the mayors long de-
lay in acting upon the city auditors
formal resignation presented a little
less than a month ago. On January
81 Mr.. Kernaghan, pleading the weight
of personal affairs of business, sent
his resignation to Mayor Waterhouse
and asked to be relieved from the ar
duous cares of office. The mayor put
the resignation in pigeonhole of his
desk and although reminded of its
presence there from time to time took
no action as far as is known in ac-
ceding to the modest request of the
city auditor.
This afternoon another document was
laid on his desk fixing upon the clos
ing day of the present month for the
surrender of his office. The communi-
cation referred to the mayors delay
in somewhat sarcastic terms, but con-
tained nothing else that would indicate
any break in the pleasant relations
which have been prevailing between
the two men. When seen tonight with
reference to his probable action on
this formal statement of his city aud
itor and assessor Mayor Waterhouse
told The Herald that he has not yet
that he will certainly keep the SER
vices of Mr.. Kernaghan for the city
until 1t becomes impossible longer to
do so. In his communication to the
mayor the city auditor makes the fol-
lowing reference to certain political
work which he is credited with de-
sire to take up as soon as he has re-
tired to private life: you are no
doubt aware that at the time of my
resignation L expected to reorganiZe
the old civic committee of the board
of trade into an Independent civic or
ganization. 1t was composed of seven
men who, with the exception of nv
self, are the peers Of any Of the repre-
sentative men of the city. This COM
nittee found agreeable work in doing
many things for Pasadena. The only
reason for mentioning this matter
here is to accentuate the fact that un-
der some circumstances it may be ex-
ceedingly pleasant TO work for the
city without compensa ton, while to
hold office with a small salary Is an
abomination when the salary in no
way conpensates for losses incurred.

Convention Hall Again
Attorney John A. Goodrich, repre-
senting the convention hall committee.
was notified today by the clerk of the
court of appeals at Los Angeles 'that
a decision has at length been reached
in the appeal of Mr.. Crawford and that

sort the Judgment of the lower court

dena is to have another chance to pur-
chase the portion of the Carmelita es-
tate for its projected convention hall

Arrest Sleepy Hobo
When II. Il. Anderson arrived at his
usual stand on East Colorado street
this morning with his express wagon he
was much annoyed TO discover sleepy
tramp emerge from beneath a pile of
canvas in the bottom of his wagon. The
indignant expressman promptly took
his cue, however, and whipped up, ar
rlving before the police station by the
time the sleepy hobo had begun to
