PASADENA, Jan. GA number Of
Pasadena people are just beginning to
realize that they have been sherewdly
victimlzed by subscription sharp who
made the rounds early i'm December.
DR.. w. u. Turner was one of the con-
fding ones and is the loser to the ex-
tent Of six dollars. About December
the man called on DR.. Turner, claim
ing to be the agent of several maga-
zines and Offering them i'm combina-
tions at greatly reduced prices.
To prove that he was not an impostor
the man showed letters on the railroads
stationery and signed by officials OF
the company giving him authority to
obtain subscriptions. The man gave
his name as II. Fred Grace. DIR.
Turner concluded to take advantage
of the exceptionally low prices and
picked out some $40 worth of maga-
zines. Grace accepted the several sub
scriptious at Sc and was given check
for the amount. This was the eXpe-
rience of number of other prominent
people about the city. Finding that the
magazines were not coming DR.. Turner
wrote to the Southern Pacific company
only to learn that Grace is a fraud, at
one time an employee of the company,
but discharged some time since.

whatever he is able to do will be done
without compensation. He will care

sent he will file a brief as a friend
of the court" setting forth the board
of trades side of the controversy. Mrs.
Graham asks for an injunction to pre-
vent the projected sale of the COM
pany's water plant to the city.
Should the courts refuse this in
junction one formidable obstacle will
he removed from the way and the
Crown City will be much nearer its
dream of municipal ownership.

ministration is determined not to pro-
ceed another step without a clear field
as regards liigation Just what the
board of trade committee intends do
ing when the Graham case is disposed
of providing the present inactivity of

not been revealed. The committee is
working hard to find some common
ground on which both sides in the con-
troversy can come together in working

Shakespeare Club Notes
"Children's Stories" was the unusual
subject of the short and very interest
ing program given before the Shakes
peare club this afternoon at the close
of the regular monthly business ses-
sion. The great attraction was the
piano playing of Mrs. John r. Lind
gren of Chicago. a noted pianist in
illustration TO the story of Seigfried,
as told by Miss Mae Brooks. The pro-
gram was in charge of Miss Imelda
Brooks and some forty little children
between five and eight years of age
enjoyed the charming story telling as
did the club members. Miss Villa
Anger of Los Angeles sang group
of delightful songs for little folks and
| Miss French of the Los Angeles nor
| NAL gave "a bright talk upon the art
developed the why, what and how of
story telling for children. Beginning
first with the simple stories of facts,
Miss French showed how ideals could
be formed by the children through fairy
stories, tales of mythology, history AMI
