THEIR OWN BOSSES
NEWLY FORMED ORGANIZATION
TO MANAGE AFFAIRS
Three Parties Place Tickets in the
Field, and SO Many Votes Are Cast
That Counting Is Postponed

PASADENA, March 22.-The ap-
preaching city election had to take a
back seat today for lesser one, but
one which was about as exciting as
anything well could be while 1t lasted.
Today was the day when the student
body of Throop institute balloted for
officials for the newly formed Student
Body association which is to manage
all things pertaining to the young men
and women of the institute while in at
tendance save the strictly administra-
tive and instructive work OF the school.
This association is to have charge of
all school athletics, school debates and
student policy. II is to determine what
the various teams and organizations
representing the school shall do. and Is,
in fact, to be the greatest thing imagin-
able for the young people and, accord
ingly, the offices in the new association
were eagerly sought.
Three duly organized parties placed
tickets in the field with Allan BiXby,
Eldon Garland and Huntington Barker,
respectively, as candidates for the pres
idency of the organization. Balloting
was strictly by the Australian plan, and
all day the polls were thronged by
eager young people anxious to cast
their vote for taVorlte students. Inc
polls were kept open even until this
evening" and it was seen that the count
would take so long that 1t was decided
to perform this final and conclusive act
tomorrow morning.
OF course the faculty Is to be the
court of appeal in all cases, but Pre5l-
dent Walter A. Edwards of Throop in
stitute this evening told The Herald
correspondent that he hopes that nearly
all matters not of corrective or in
structive class which relate exclusively
to the student body may be cared for
and settled by the newly formed asso-
citation. In other and very "Throopy'
words, the faculty does not expect to
butt in" but rather this association
will have absolute charge so far as pos
sible of all games and contests in con-
nection with the school.

CARMEL1TA SITE FOR THEATER
Prominent Men Back of Semi-Public
Park Announce Something
of Their Plans
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, March 22.-Lt is an
nounced this evening that the direc-
tors of the Carmellta Garden associa-
ton, the organization in charge of the
semi-public pleasure park project, will
build a handsome theater upon the
property at the northwest corner of
Colorado street and Vernon avenue.
Plans have even gone so far that it
is designed to build the structure out
of reinforced concrete and give it a
seating capacity of 1000 as a theater
The building will be so designed that
additional space may be added simply
by removing partitions, making the
whole an auditorium with a seating
capacity of about 1000.
The casino, which is to be a part
of the same project, is now planned to
be a separate building with dancing
and banquet room in it capable of per-
mltting 500 to dance at one time, or
thousand to sit at the banquet tables.
These plans are announced so that
the general public, which seems to
have gathered the impression that the
structure to be built is to be barn
like convention hall, may understand
that the theater which Pasadena needs
so badly, is included in the general
scheme of construction.
The officials of the association be-
lieve that the revenue from such
theater would go a long way toward
defraying the expenses of the park and
would, besides, attract to Pasadena
many good attractions.

WILL
CONSIDER PLAN
Strong Opposition Develops to Accept
ing Proposition Advanced by Salt
Lake to Abandon Har=
Dor Avenue

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March ga large
crowd attended the special meeting of
the city trustees this afternoon when,
as had been expected, a proposition was
advanced providing for the closing of
Harbor avenue in West Long Beach
and the opening of Fourth and Eighth
streets by the Salt Lake railroad. This
plan was a compromise offered by the
railroad company and directly in oppo-
Sition to the action recently taken by
the council when Harbor avenue was
declared open.
This afternoon there was an ami
mated discussion of the matter, but it
was finally referred to the judiciary
and ordinance committee after having
been considered by the council in COM
mittee of the whole.
Chief Engineer Jessup of the Salt
Lake railroad and NJ H. Burk of West
Long Beach made strong appeals for
the trustees to rescind their action. 1t
has been understood that of the five
trustees Lent and Mohrenstecher were
alone in their firm stand against the
railroads dictation, and 1t was eX-
pected by many that Mayor Downs and
Trustees OaSford and Benson would
pass it over their heads. The matter
was presented by OalGford.
The general sentiment of the people
of the town faVors the former action
of the trustees and opposes any rail-
road scheme of compromise. The Salt
Lake and the city both claim land in
volved in the opening of Harbor ave-
nue., and the railroad company will vol
unfairly open Fourth and Eighth
streets to tidewater if the other thor
Ouphfare is left alone.

Whatever may be weather conditions
the annual intercollegiate track meet

owing to the fact that no other date

of the fact however, that dual meets

meet that The Highlanders' chances of
success do not seem bright.
Pomona is placing confidence in the
