NEEDED STREET OIL is
DIVERTED FROM PASADENA

PASADENA, Oct. 14,-Bitter COM
plaint Is being made over the vast
amount of dust this year. many times
more dust than there was at any time
during the heated term last year. Sun
day proved particularly unpleasant, as
the day was warm and there was just
enough wind to sift the dust into resi-
dences and half suffocate pedestrians.
In discussing the situation today one
of the members Of the city council and
an employe of the street department
stated that the work of oiling the
streets should have been started sixty
or ninety days ago, but that the mixup
over the oilng bids had necessltated the
delay.
1t seems that the contractors are now
experiencing great trouble in getting
Oil for the streets. In fact not a single
car of oil has yet reached Pasadena to
carry out the contract signed up by the
city several weeks ago. The contractors
state. and show waybills, that oil has
been shipped to Pasadena, but IL seems
that the railways are diyerting the
cars to other places, and the Crown
City suffers and chokes as the result.

Effective Canvass Of independent

1874 East Colorado Street.,
Telephone Main TS2.


PASADENA, Oct 14.--Ben Hahn,
Republican candidate for state SEN
atot from the Pasadena district, Is
about the most frightened man IN
seven counties.
lie is frightened because his inde-
pendent opponent Charley Bell, is
making such quiet but thorough can
vass of the district and because his
friends are bringing to him constantly
stories of the large number Of bitter
enemies his candidacy is bringing out
SO thoroughly frightened has Hahn
become that he told a friend of his
that unless he could get several hum
dred Democratic votes he was done
for. This alarmed the friend, who IN
cidentally Is a Democrat, and he at
once started to go about among the
Democrats Of the district in quest of
votes.
After talking with the Democrats
this man, who has been particularly
active for Hahn from the start
through personal motives, says that IL
Hahn is depending upon the votes of
the Pasadena Democrats to pull him
through he will never be reelected In
fact this worker takes very pessl-
mistic view of Hahn's present chances.
Hahn has usually been very good
sizer up of the local situation and his
prediction as to the result Of the pri-
mary election when he was nominated
was a very close one. Up to now he
has never confessed even to his most
intimates that he feared for the re-
suit and the fact that he Is frightened
will be a startling announcement to
many in Pasadena.
Aside from the candidates own word
to the supporter in question there is
the clearest sort of evidence that the
Republicans regard Hahn's chances
and Cal Hartwell's chances as weak.
The entire slogan of the local work.
ers of the party has been Hahn and
Hartwell and when there is po-
litical meeting these candidates come
in for the bulk of the eulogiums
The latest Hahn argument Is that
his vote in the state senate may be
the deciding one in selecting a United
States senator to succeed Senator Per-
kins. This appeal to party prejudice is
taken to indicate that Hahn's sup
porters realize that his case is des-
perate.

Bliss, for the Pasadenas, pitched a
good game throughout until the ninth,
when he was touched up for several hits
In rapid and we'll placed succession. In
their half of the min tn the Pasadena
boys were blanked and the game was
over.
The contest was very pretty one
from the start and the locals had all
but tailed one more victory when the
tables were turned. They started off
with one run in the first, to which
they added two more in the sixth. The
1'ufts-Jyon boys failed to make the
grand circuit until the eighth, when
they got a one spot. This left the score
3 to in favor Of the Pasadena team

the visitors walked I'm and walloped

Bliss and Basterly were the battery

home run when there was no one on
base, and Lehy mauled the ball for a
two-bagger. There were seven hits off
Andrade and nine off Bliss.
Ruhe, a new man i'm Pasadena, was
tried out at short stop and made a

BELL HAS JOKE
WITH PASADENA PEOPLE
special to The Herald.

PASADENA, Oct. 14-Since time i'm
memorial Pasadenans have been made
aware of fires by the tolling of the fire
bell Now this bell has peculiar tone
which is easily recognized ON ordinary
occasions, but within the past week
something has been done to some one of
the numerous church bells In the city,
and as a result there is another which
sounds exactly like it. Today this new
Changer caused a world of trouble and
kept the telephone wires burning even
II it did not herald any other blaze.
This morning, at church time, the
dead ringer for the city fire bell got in
its best work, and Chief Clifford had
the time of his life explaining where
the fire was not. Many took the alarm
for one forecasting a general confiagra-
tion, and one club man called on The
Herald to locate the fire for him, be-
cause he was certain it must be big
one as box "a had been run in seventeen
times in half an hour.
When the bothersome bell is located
something will be done to It to save fu-
ture complications.

the concert to determine whether there
should be any others.
The big crowd scattered all over Cen
tral park, seeking shade. 1t is estimat-
ed that from 1000 to 5000 people were in
the park listening to the music, but as
they were not all grouped about the
stand, as is usual in cooler weather, the
big number did not make as large
showing as it otherwise would.
It is the plan this year to make the
Sunday concerts of a. trifle higher class
Of music than the ones played on Thurs

will also be held in Library park in

"Oh, yes There's enough in South

Mr.. Hill laughed heartily. Appar-

Speaking about the ability of the
United States Steel corporation to
carry out its contract, he said:
Suppose they didn't-what would
the United States do for iron ore? DO
you know they are importing pig iron
now from abroad? Well"
why did the transaction involve an
increase in the price per ton of three
quarters of cent each year? Was
that figured on an interest basis?"
Because" was the answer, ''the ore
will be worth that much more each
succeeding year."

chance that Pasadena may nave a

Cling with this problem. If profession
ais are signed it will be the first time
on record that Pasadena has thus been
represented.
Rriefiy stated. the condition which Is
likely to cause the advent of profession
alisn is the glorious winter climate OF
Southern California. This climate at

to winter and keep their arms in trim
These professionals also want co nave
practice. and they attempt to enlist IN

Four such professionals are already
applicants to Msssrs. Myers and Dexter

there is likely to be lively scramble
for such material Whether these four
men will or will not be taken on by the

Were up against 1t this way, said
Manager Myers this evening. II we
don't take these men and then the 9th

to get Others later, and there won't be
any Others to get. We don't know
