ONLY ONE MORE DAY TO GO.
Thursday the Time Set for the Fitting
Of West Hammond Dives.

Today is April 80. Thursday is May
2. the time set for the West Hammond
dives to vacate their stronghold in
State street.
Will they go? That is the question
that the respectable element of West
Hammond is asking itself.
Attorney S. K. Markham, the village
attorney, has said that they will have
to move out Of the village or their
places will be raided daily until they
decide it will be best for them to go.
It is known to be a fact that States
Attorney Healey has had plain clothes
men in West Hammond on two occa-
sions within the last month making a
quiet investigation, and it looks like a
certainty that the dives must so.

Swenson saw the devil fish stealing the
bait off his hook and he finally cap

PASADENA, June with the new
improvement in the police department
in the rearrangement of headquarters
an equally important change will be
made in the working of the men. Chief
of Police H. H. Favour will recommend
to the commissioners on Monday the
appointment of four sergeants to take
charge of the force on the two shifts.
He recommends the names of A. o..
Bristol, ]. o. Reynolds, George w.
Longley and j. E. Pierce for the places.
Two of the men will be used in the
street work and two will be office
men. All four have been with the de-
partment for several years, Bristol and
Reynolds both having been policemen
ever since the department was organ
ized
In addition to these recommenda-.
tions the new head of the department
will recommend that officer w. H. Cop
ping be appointed as regular detective
of the department. Coping has been
acting in this capacity for two years
and has done good service. He was

PASADENA BRIEF NOTES OF
NEWS FOR BUSY READERS
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA. June There was one
of the liveliest scenes in Justice Klam-
roth's court today which ever happened
| before that august jurist when Attor-
ney Ed Hahn and Field Agent McAney
of the Humane society became involved
in an argument over the child labor
| law. c. w. Woodbury. had been arrest
ed for employing lad aged 13 years,
and Mr.. Hahn his lawyer, thought a
wrong had been done because his client
| iszwell known as law-abiding citizen
and had only erred through ignorance.
Justice Klamroth quelled the trouble
with some sharp words and reserved
his decision in the case until Monday.
Claims aggregating about $1,000 were
filed at the county court house today
against the Lake Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church. The claims are the
outgrowth of the attempt of the con-
gregation to finance the handsome new
building which Governor Buchtel of
Colorado recently dedicated.
Rev. r. R. Meredith entertained at
luncheon today the members of the
federal board of Soldiers home COM
missioners. The party included Gov
ernor Murphy of New Jersey, Congress-
man Barlow of Tennessee, Congressman
Wadsworth of New York, Captain
Palmer of Omaha and Mr. Hawley of
Wisconsin.
City Engineer Van Ornum is planning
to have proceedings brought before the
city council looking towards the lower
ing of the grade of West Colorado
street near where it runs into South
Orange Grove avenue. The improve
ment will be a costly but much needed
one. A great slice of the hill will have
to be cut Off
Ten people are back at La Casa
Grande today with a tale of being lost
on the mountain for twelve hours with
out food and drink, which would fill
book. The chaperone of the party was
Mrs. Iona Loughead, and the young
people were lost while going up Mount
Wilson. They wandered about in the
canyons and on the mountain side un-
til they accidentally found the trail
after hours of suffering, and finally
reached the summit.
Chief of Police Favour contemplates
the strict enforcement ci the bicycle
ordinance. This means that wheelmen
will have to purchase bike bells, for
none have been in uSe in Pasadena for

GAS OvERCOMES
SUPERINTENDENT
Long Beach Man Attempts to Cap
Main and Has Narrow Escape
from Death by AS
phyxiation
Long Beach Office.

LONG BEACH June 1.-C. w
Truett, superintendent of the Edison
Electric company's gas plant at Seaside
park, was nearly asphyxiated by es-
Gaping gas late last night while he
was attempting to cap main at the
plant.
When his men found him, a few
moments afterward, he was rigid, and
it was feared that life was extinct.
DR.. A. f. Hamman was summoned
and succeeded in reviving Truett. He
is still a sick man. The inhaling of the
gas is said by DIR. Hamman to have
affected the iron in the blood corpuscles
and destroyed the oxygen in the body,
producing a sort of paralysis.
About midnight Truett and a mum
ber of workmen were making a con-
nection between the receiver and an
eight-inch gas main. The bladder
which was used to hold the escaping
gas and relieve the pressure proved
ineffective and exploded. Truett then
attempted to cap the main, but the
cap blowing off the receiver let loose
vast quantity of the vapor, over
powering the superintendent, and he
fell to the ground unconscious.

ASPHALT KNOCKED
OUT IN PASADENA
LOS ROBLES PEOPLE FAVOR
NEW PROCESS
Proposed Narrowing of Street Brings
Out Some Lively Talk, and City
Council May Have to End
the Controversy
Pasadena Agency,
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2124.

PASADENA, June Lover major
ity of the frontage along Los Robles
avenue, as represented at a meeting
this evening, favors the Improvement
, of that thoroughfare by the bitulithic
process. This apparently will kill the
asphalt proposition, though the petition
signed by majority is already before
the city council. Mayor Farley stated
this evening that the majority petition
which was filed latest would receive
favorable attention at lac hands of
the city council, and so the matter
seems settled in favor of the new and,
it is claimed more improved process.
The Hotel Maryland meeting was
remarkably lively Iffair, as was to be
expected after the protracted contest
for and against the pavement of Los
Robles avenue with asphalt. There
never was proposed street improve
ment in Pasadena which has brought
out more real bitterness, and the petit
tions and protests which have been
presented to the city council have
taken up the major portion of the time
of that organization at many pro-
tracted session.
There were really two meetings this
evening, the first being held at the
board of trade rooms. Here the new
bitulithic pavement was expounded at
length by a representative of the War
rem Brothers company, owners of the
patent process. The men who attend
ed this preliminary meeting owned
nearly majority of the frontage along
the two miles and more of avenue
which it is intended to improve, and
so what they decided really meant the
manner in which the avenue will prob
ably be improved They went on rec
ord as strongly favoring the bitulithic
process for which great things are
claimed. The new pavement costs a
trifle more than asphalt.
At the Hotel Maryland the war of
words ragged about the question of
narrowing the avenue to save Jthe trees
by making the parking wider. The
owners were we'll divided on this prop
osition, many favoring a wide parking
and narrow street, while others want
ed no parking at all and maximum
width between curbs.

AUTO TANK EXPL0DES,
ENDANGERING LIVES

PASADENA, June Through the
explosion of the gasoline tank of an
auto which was undergoing repairs to-
day the entire establishment of the
Robertson Motor company was for a
time threatened with destruction, while
Roscoe Haskett who was working un-
der the car at the time, had a narrow
escape with his life. AS the result of
the explosion the big machine is dam
aged several hundred dollars worth,
even the front tires being burned off.
The cause Of the explosion is not
known, and but for the fact that the
acetylene tank with its highly COM
pressed gas had been removed from the
car there would have been frightful
damage. The flames were extinguished
by chemicals, water being useless to
fight burning gasoline.
