WILL CELEBRATE MASS
WITH ANCIENT RITES

Rt. Rev. Mgr. Salome of the Syrian
church Of Detroit is guest at the
Cathedral of st. Vibiana and will cele-
brate the 1920 o'clock mass Sunday at
the cathedral according to the customs
of the Greek branch of the Roman
church.
The Greek or Syrian branch of the
church was the first to observe the
religious ceremonies, which have been
slightly modified by the progress of
time and the vestments changed to
meet the demands of the warmer eli
mates. From ancient times the Greek
branch has been allowed to use it's
own ritual and the vestments that were
first designed for religious worship.
Monsignor Salome will celebrate the
mass according to these ancient rites
and will be robed in the vestments
used by the Greek branch of the
church. Rt Rev. Mgr. Harnett will
preach the sermon, describing the an
cient customs and the rules of the
Greek church.
Monsignor Salome is raising funds
for the Syrian church at Detroit and
will remain in California several weeks.

Two attempts at suicide were made

the other carbolic acid. Both were re-

they received treatment and were later
sent to the county hospital.

WILL INCREASE
TEACHERS PAY
Board of Education Reaches an Un.
derstanding and Educators Will
Receive About 20 Per Cent
Raise in Salary

The teachers will have substantial
increase in salary when the new school
year begins next September. The
board of education, without a dissent
ing voice, decided that these faithful
servants in the public school system
were entitled to wage more nearly
on a par with their ability; and a
schedule of salaries was framed yes
terday whereby the teachers will be
paid almost the same salary month
they are now getting but would get
that twelve months in the year.
This will amount to 20 per cent or
more of an increase on the former
wages. While this scale was not
definitely adopted yesterday it is
probable that the boards final action
on the subject will be to make such
an arrangement.
Salaries are fixed in June, and when
the scale is fixed at that time the
board will officially adopt the recon-
mendation of the committee of the
whole that the teachers receive pay
for twelve months instead of for nine
or ten months, as formerly.

Bradlee Martin, who. came here in
"The Umpire" and left the company
to play with the Belasco company, has
entered vaudeville. He has secured
from Lillian Burkhardt-G t-Goldsmith her
sketch, "Jessie, Jack & jerry" and
has been rehearsing it all week, with
the support of his wife, Jessie Court
ney, formerly of 1.-THE Umpire" and
Gilbert Perley, late of the Dick Ferris
company. Martin will put the sketch
on at the Unique next week, with the
idea of perfecting it in public, and II
it goes we'll will jump to Chicago with
it for a run in the east.
Martin is very clever character
man, as he has amply demonstrated
here, and in the wider field of vaude-
VILE expects to win out without trou-

lines which will be developed during
the run of this one, on the road.

what the railroads had to contend
with. AS the companies did not make

PASADENA May 9.-Attorney John
c.. Fitzgerald, who was so seriously
ported this evening to be greatly i'm
proved. 1t is now believed that he is
in no immediate danger. However, 1t is
scarcely probable that Mr. Fitzgerald
will be able to resume practice for
some time, if ever at all.
John Douglas of 1861 Humboldt av-
enue, Los Angeles, who dropped from
an attack of heart failure last night
in front of the board of trade rooms,
is reported this evening at the Pasa-
dena hospital to be resting easily and
it is believed that he will live.
At the adjourned meeting of the city
council this morning H. c. Hotaling
was made president of the council by
unanimous vote. This would make
Mr.. Hotaling mayor in the event that
Mayor Farley should be absent from
the city. The council referred the
petition for the asphalting of Los
| Robles avenue to the committee on
streets, and it was decided to widen
South Wilson avenue.
The first lot of jamestown exposition
stamps reached Pasadena today, and

time of the Chicago worlds fair and
the Buffalo Pan-American.
| Secretary D. w. Coolidge of the
board of trade has placed on exposi-
ton a magnificent Paul Neyron'' rose
measuring eighteen inches in circum-
ference. This rose is six inches in di-
ameter and is one of the largest, if
not the largest, ever grown in Pasa-
| dena.
Mayor Farley today named the re-
mainder of the standing committees
of the city council The chairmen of
the committees are: Braley, judiciary;
Hotaling, finance; Crandall, streets;
Root, fire and water; Webster, public
buildings and grounds; Barnes, sewer
farm; Dyer, sanitation, and Braley,

the temple that can beat it,"
]. r. Lyder of the same temple said
LOS Angeles has outdone herself. 1t
has been one round of entertainment
from the time we arrived and the en-
thusiasm of Los Angeles for our pleas
ure does not seem to wane a bit as
time goes on.
S. S. Ballard thinks the city is great
and the entertainment could not have
been better.
Joseph Senshimer, potentate from
Texas, says that his only objection to
the entertainment of the Los Angeles
Shriners is that they have left moth
ing for anyone else to do.
"I don't think anyone will want the
Shrine after this" said he. "They will
be afraid to take it, for they will not
be able to do anything as fine as Los
Angeles. 1t will be pretty hard thing
to come up to this council meeting.
Los Angeles has set a standard and ii
is hard one, for it is high"
