PASADENA, Dec. 27.-Porch climbers
invaded the fashionable Orange Grove
avenue district tonight, causing intense
excitement in the household of Col. Clin-
ton p. Morehous by attempting to gain
an entrance through bathroom window
on the second floor at the rear of the
house.
The housebreakers, two in number,
were frightened away and pursued for
two blocks by Morehous Stevens, nephew
of Col Morehous, but the pursuer was
compelled to give up the chase when one
of the crooks suddenly wheeled and,
pointing revolver at young Stevens.
ordered him to retrace his steps. AS he
was unarmed, he complied.
Col. Morehous resides at 1888 South
Orange Grove, in a pretentious house,
and is man of large means. While the
family was assembled at dinner this even
ing, Stevens finished first and went up
stairs. Hearing a noise at the bathroom
window he hurriedly went to the electric
switch and turned on all the lights. The
housebreakers had not yet succeeded in
getting the window open. and upon being
discovered both ran around the house
and headed for Colorado street. Stevens
gave chase. He overlook them at Olcott
place, where he could distinguish two
men. With an oath one turned and,
pointing his revolver, said: go back, or
I'll fill you full of holes" Stevens went
back, secured revolver and again took
up the trail, but no trace of the pair
could be found.
The police were notified. Private pa
trolls have been doubled.

IMMENSE WATER SUPPLY
AWAITS Development
Beaumont District Supplied by Edgar
Canyon, and Big Noble Canyon
Has Not Yet Been
Touched
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BEAUMONT. Dec. N.-Competent en-
gineers have been making critical ex-
animation Of Noble canyon, with view
to ascertaining its water-producing pos
sibilities. The verdict is that In this
canyon alone may be developed sufficient
water to irrigate thousands of acres of
land, or to furnish domestic supply to
city of several thousand inhabitants.
There is a good stream of water run
ming through the canyon and the east
wall of the gorge, which is several miles
long, oozes water at almost every point.
Noble canyon nearly parallels Edgar
canyon, from which the present supply
of water for Beaumont is derived. AT
present Beaumont uses only per cent
of the water of that canyon, and addi-
tional developments in progress there
will multiply the supply several times.
A we'll is being sunk in this canyon for
the purpose of developing the underfow,
and this has reached a depth of 250 feet
and is full to within seventeen feet of
the surface The underflow is an enor-
nous one and this source will supply
Beaumont for many years to come.
Steps will be taken in the near future to
develop and conserve the waters of
Noble canyon for irrigation purposes.

POMONA, Dec. N-Personal investiga-
ton on the part of DIR. r. p. Shepherd finds
the sentiment for county division strong
and ever increasing. Reference is made
in particular to Cucamonga, Upland and
Ontario, all of which DR.. Shepherd visited
yesterday.
The aim of the antis in trying by Pc
tition-outs to prevent an election Is in
itself misguided effort. The division
lists are determined that the question
shall be- settled by the Australian ballot.
The divis are inspired by a deep sense
of conviction that right is on their side
and that in the end right must win.
The petition-out movement is builded
on Misrepresentation. Hence, eventually,
it must fail. In Glendora the crash has
already come. On a misstatement of
facts and the law many Glendo-ans
signed a petition-out. Immediately on
cognizance of the real state of affairs,
they revolted and fayed the antis. Con-
sequently, January 8, there will be ar
rayed against the petition-outs many let
ters from the people of Glendora, These
letters, which have already been written,
charge the opposition with deliberate
malice and falsifying and request that the
names of their writer's be stricken from
the petition-outs.

had some ground in SO far as its

miral says
THE whole trouble is the bureau
system of navol control. That is al
ways the trouble and no good can ever
come out of the navy so long as 1t Is
controlled by those bureaus for the
twenty -five-year clique down there at
Washington that wants to get the con-
troll of the navy into its own hands.
TT is that Internal clique that wants
to rule or ruin the navy that has been
making all the trouble, and they will
continue to make 1t until they take
control of the navy out OF the hands of
