WILL HELP ANNEXATION
High Bid for San Pedro Printing May
Force Favorable Action Of
Citizens on Scheme
e,oc,st ~ The Herald

special 70 Inc Herald.
SAN PEDRO. June 4-The two local
papers OF San Pedro, while tacitly sup
posed to be opposed to annexation with
Los Angeles, have unwittlngly helped
TO weld a link toward that end by
their act OF trying to get such large
sum for the city printing the coming
year, IL Is said. Many persons, who
have not been outspoken against the
union until now, have come out firmly
and stated that rather than be held UP
for eight or ten thousand dollars for
the printing, they will favor annexa-
tion so that the condition OF affairs can
be altered The question of letting the
city printing will come up Tor ad1udt-
cation tomorrow night when 1t is ex-
pected that something new may be
sprung by either or both sides.
The address of Judge Henry G. Down
ing Of this city before the committees
IN talk over annexation at Los Angeles
last Frida evening has caused much
favorable comment here and many are
looking at the question In a different
light from what they did before. IT, as
the Judge stated, control of the harbor
Ia not to he lost by the movement, but
rather a firner control of II is to he
gained or to have It left in the hands
of a harbor commission, the average
citizen will look at the proposition In
n different light Jealousy of the city's
harbor, the greatest asset it has. is one
of the strongest drawbacks toward an
nexation. Judge Downing is a lifelong
resident of this part of the country and
is thought to be probably better versed
in the condition of affairs than anyone
else His statements have much weight
here

DRUGGIST ESCAPES TRIAL
and "5llnd Pig" Case Is Dropped,
Police Court Gets Busy
Special to The Herald.


| PASADENA, June 4.-Police Judge
| Mcdonald reopened court this morning,
the legal holidays being once more out
of the way, and proceeded to dispose
of twenty-eight cases which have ac-
cumulated since Gov. Pardee issued his
first holiday declaration Bail money to
the amount OF St10 was declared for
feited to the city, all but four of the
parties arrested for violation of city
ordinances failing to put in an appear
ance.
There were fifteen cases charging
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
four for violating the hitching ordi-
nance, three for violating the speed or
dinance and two for viola ting the ordi-
nance requiring lights to be placed on
obstruCtions in the streets at night. Po-
lice Commissioner w. G. Crowell was
one of the last named offenders and
his bail money went into the city's
strong box in lieu of a fine, although
he insisted that the fault lay in coll
ored man in his employ.
The case against the local manager of
the Sun Drug company on the charge
of having sold liquor illegally was
dropped on motion of city Attorney
Wood, the prosecuting witness having
disa ppeared. Justice of the Peace Cong
don was called to the bench to pro-
nounce sentence in the case Of owen
Parrott, the North Pasadena boy,
found guilty of speeding his motor
cycle.
When Parrott was tried the present
police judge, Mcdonald. was prosecut-
ing the case as assistant city attorney
and the present city attorney j. Perry
Wood, was on the police court bench.
The complication was eased by Justice
Congdon pronouncing sentence. Par
rott was fined $40, but the sentence was
suspended, it being believed that the
boy has already been pretty severely
punished for his offense.
