! PASADENA, July IA prominent res
taurant keeper in this city paid out $50
| this afternoon because his friendship for
a Glendora man some days ago caused
him to indorse a check which now turns
out to have been a forgery.
1t appears that about a week ago
young man entered the Dorman store on
East Colorado street with a carefully
prepared list of the articles in baby's
wardrobe.
He proceeded to purchase the articles
named thereon, when lie finished offering
a check for $50 drawn on the Bank Of
Glendora, payable to Elmer G. Reid and
purporting to be signed by r.. !. Martin.
a wealthy business man at Glendora. The
Dormans took no chances and demanded
that Reid get someone in Pasadena to
indorse 1t. This he did without any trou-
BILE. the restaurant man knowing him and
feeling sure that all was straight Reid
went away with $40 and the bundle Vt
baby's clothing. The check took the usual
channels to Glendora.
Today it was returned stamped as
forgery.
Harry Dorman went out to Glendora
to investigate and learned enough there
to put the authorities on track of the
man who probably did the deed.
1t was also charged there that Reid, #
that should happen to be his right name,
victimlzed another Pasadena firm on the
same day in about the same fashion.
Constable Austin would be pleased to
know the name of the second firm. be-
lieving that additional information which
will help him can be secured from them.
1t is understood that the man Reid
has been residing at or near Glendora,
with possibly some relatives in Pasadena,
and there is some reason for believing
that he did a similar job in this city
some months ago, escaping punishment
for the crime by disappearing and remain
ing out of the way until his victims do

is the same he will run up against a
different proposition this time

the expense OF taking down the present
brick chureh) edifice and erecting the

sion for mourning any indebtedness

and ask that the trustees be empowered TO
sell the parsonage formerly used by the
Cong church, with the land properly an
purtenant thereto, and that they be d.
rected to use the funds thus derived
toward the erection Of the proposed parish
house,
Rev. w. T. Sparhawk spoke in opposi-
ton 10 the sale OF the Cong'I parsonage.

is at present in the greatest religious crisis
of it's history since the advent and organi-
cation of Christianity in the first four
centuries of our era. l have given much
anxious thought to the causes Of this crisis
and to its probable consequences, and hail
your request as an opportunity to give ex-
preston to the conclusions at which have
arrived.
Following your suggestion, it is my pur-
pose to give four lectures on the present
crisis in the churches, in the city Of Roches-
ter, beginning on the first Sunday night in
January and continuing every Sunday
night thereafter during the month. These
lectures will be delivered in the Lyceum
Theater. Further particulars will be an
nounced later.
Il can only say at this time that I con-
slider your communication one Of the most
important that have ever received, con-
ferring upon me commission which look
upon second to none that I have ever
held"
