Gillette insisted that there has been
no abuse and that the utmost care Is
used to keep the animals IN good con-
dillon.
The present management Of the hui
name society seems destined to keep In
hot water, for this is only a continual
ton OF the contests which have been
arising every few days. But the indi-
cations are that the Simons cases will
last longer and stir up more mud than
any Of the others.
Killed by Drink
Sylvester McCrory, a we'll known
gardener and at one time a highly re-
spected citizen of Pasadena, died n
terrible death today ms a result OF
habitual drunkenness. Early last even
ing McCrory left a winery out toward
Lamanda park and set out for his home
in the Smith building on Green street.
Early this morning a man covered
with blood and dirt was found I'm dy-
ing condition near the corner of Allen
avenue and Colorado street Consta BILE
Newell brought him to the city lookup
as drunk. When the filth had been
partly washed away II was found to
be McCrory. The man had fallen from
cement bridge on Colorado street
near where he was found and had cut
a cash in his head from which he had
nearly bled to death. Then unable to
regain the roadway. he had crawled
into an adjoining grove of orchards and
under an orange tree had fought an
awful battle with death all through
the night. The marks on the tree and
the torn and bloody soil told a part of
the story. At the city prison McCrory
slowly regained consciousness, called
for a drink and as he drank stiffened
in death. A coroner's inquest will be
held tomorrow. McCrory has been a
familiar and much pitled figure on the
streets of the city for long time and
many have been the efforts made by his
old time friends to reclaim him before
the threatened end should come. but
they have all failed. The man leaves
a wife and four daughters from whom
his habit has separated him for some
time.

of trade meeting last night the recall
petitions have been temporarily called
in. and 1t is freely predicted that they

test The executive committee of five

meeting and adopted resolutions ex-
pressing their delight at the turn
things have taken and formally sus-
pending operations until the new plan
has had a trial.
The officers of the board of trade
are especially well pleased at the way

nights meeting and gave great credit to
Attorney SimonS as the great paci-
ficator Mayor Waterhouse and the
other members of the city adminiStra-
ton are keeping close as to their opin-
ions but are believed to be pretty well
content with the experiment.
Where Did He Col?
Inquiries at the Hotel Green today
ELECTED the information that Israel w.
Durham, the Philadelphia ex-boss, has
tired of the publicity given his visit to
Pasadena and has left for some other
place. There are those who doubt that
this has actually occurred and the be-
lief is general that the statement is only
a ruse intended to keep away i'm
Fortunate newspaper men and curious
tourists and that the distinguished poll
tician is still at the hotel and in abso-
lutte hiding. A further complication in
the matter has arisen in the discovery
that brother of Mr.. Durham has also
been stopping at the hotel, that he is
not in good health himself and that
whether Intentionally or unintentional-
ly his brother has been often mistaken
for the ex-boss.
