Company

n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 2124.

PASADENA, June 25.-The Fourth OF
July is set as the date for complete INSTALL
ment of the municipal street lighting sys-
tenn in Pasadena. Today nearly 800 new
lamps are ready for operation and fifty
more will be ready for testing Wednesday.
Superintendent Glass is rushing the work
with all possible speed to have the COM
plete system connected for turning on the
lights all over the city for a jollification
on the Fourth.
About twice the entire candle power now
furnished by the Edison Electric company
will be available from the municipal plant.
Lamps are suspended on very tall steel
poles very neat and handsome in appear
ance, allowing of course for the reserva-
tion that any pole along public street is
a nuisance.
Opinion is of course divided as to the
probable cost of electric lighting by the
municipality, compared with similar ser.
vice furnished by private company. Adj
vocates of the municipal lighting PROPOSE
tion argue that even If the private cor
poration cuts the price of electric current
below cost of production by the city the
municipal plant will be an economy. They
argue that it can be closed down and the
private company'S current used while the
price is so low, but that the municipal
plant should be kept in readiness to be
operated at any time an advance in rates
might be ordered. Anyhow the new
municipal equipment is far superior to
that which has been used here for a long
time on many of the streets.

VENICE, June 25.-Notwithstanding
that less than five weeks ago the mer-
chants of the city came through with the
Hhere&ithal to purchase diamond and
sold star to present to Z. l.. Foster, the
ostensible head of the department, the
local trade organization last night Off

pense with Foster on the ground that he
was q needless drag to the taxpayers.
Foster, who derives remuneration of $50
per month from the city for his services
m spending one or two days week here
in conference with his lieutenants, has
virtually usurped the authority of Mar
shal G. G.. Watt, who since Fosters ad-
vent here has been doing clerical work at
the city hall.
The marshal, however, has uttered no
complaint which may be attributed to
the fact that although his office is an
elective one and does not subject him to
he is under the thumb of the board to
the extent that his salary of 500 per
month is proportioned SO per month as
marshal and $50 per month as garbage in

instance of former Marshal Louis Herzog

rnarshals' resignation.
In speaking OF Fosters connection with
local police affairs. Frank Lawton, pro-
prietor of the auditorium and ship hotel,
said today: Foster has caused great in

his obnoxious methods of procedure in in

The city attorney was instructed by
the trustees to look up the matter of the
law as to whether the board was within

present position and promised the trade
organization to act accordingly in the

LONG BEACH, June 25.-Lighting
the gas in an instantaneous heater in
a bath room of the Windermere apart
ment house at 10 o'clock today, when
a two-gallon can of gasoline stood
near by, Mrs. Walter T. Lloyd, the
housekeeper. paved the way for ter
rife explosion. She was badly burned
about the face and arms and on one
leg, while much of her hair was burned
off her head.
In fighting the fire which followed
threatening the destruction of the ho'
| tel, Frank Varney and George Jewell
| fremen, and Fred Viebahn, pantrymar
at the Ocean Front cafe, next door, were
slightly burned about the head.
Mrs. Lloyd was probably saved from
death only by the quick action of Miss
S. j. Morrison, the proprietress of the
Windermere, who caught the other wo-
man as she fed screaming from the
bath room her clothing all afire, and
threw her to the ground, putting out
the fire with her hands and her apron.
r. Coalman, chef at the Ocean Front
cafe, threw quilt over Mrs Lloyd and
assisted in quenching the flames She
was then carried into her cottage in
the rear of the hotel and DR.. H. Ford
Scudder and DR.. A. c. Sellery were
called to attend her. She was later re-
moved to the Long Beach hospital in an

EXPLOSION Breaks Window

Mrs. Lloyd's husband now in Po-
mona, is a professional cleaner and
dyer. The woman came here from that
city three weeks ago. This morning
she and Miss Morrison wished to clean
an eiderdown comfort and Mrs. Lloyd
carried the receptacle containing the
gasoline into the bath room.
She lighted the gas for the purpose
of heating some water to use In the
cleaning process. AS soon as the fumes
from the gasoline reached the flames
the explosion ensued. The window of
the bath room was shattered by its
force.
The door of the bath room was pull
ed shut and when the firemen arrived
they found the fire confined in the little
apaAment. To put out the fire was the
work of but a few moments.
The cry of fire frightened the guests
in the hotel and they began gathering
various articles of value in frenzy of
excitement. When the firemen entered
the apartment house at the front door.
carrying a line of hose, they bumped
into a bevy of white-faced women,
laden with all sorts of things, from bird
cages to evening hats.
Mrs Lloyd suffered severely from the
nervous shock as well as from the
burns The latter are said to have been
superficial and not necessarily dan
gerous.

CHINESE FANTAN

ton of chief of the Chinatown squad
Police Sergeant Sebastian has been striv-
ing to capture the fan tan game of Roi
Foo the king of the Mongolian gam
blers and whose bank roll is std to rep
resent more money than the average
policeman can make in ten years time
1t was not until last night that Sebas-
tian had his ambition gratified, and then
only because of the faithlessness to his
duty of one of Roi Foos employees.
Foos place is at 1853 North Alameda
street and it was shortly after 10 o'clock
that Sergeant Sebastian noticed that the
door keeper, Wing Hoy, was absent from
his post. He Immediately rounded up his
squad and made a descent on the place
In the absence of the guard there was
no one to give warning of the approach
of the white blue devils" as the police
are affectionately termed by the Chinese,
and they were in the midst of the play
ers before the slightest sound of their
approach was heard.
In addition to Roi Foo and his layout
the police captured All Sing, Sing Louie,
Jim Wing, All Sam, Sam Suey, Wong
Quong Tom Wong, All Foo and All Qui
At the central police station Foo hand
ed $1,000 in gold and bills for the ap-
pearance of himself and patrons in court
and then the ten Chinese left to pay
their respects to Wing Hoy. 1t is prob
able that when they are through with
him Hoy will be a sadder and a wiser
man and also that he will have mort
gagged his body and his future existence
in the celestial hereafter for just $1,000
For that is the way of the Chinaman.

highly civilized Powers in a desire TO
humanize warfare.
The uncertainty evinced by the Ameri-
a delegates was based, OF course, upon
purely technical grounds. Under u
Federal Constitution the right Of declar-
ing war is vested exclusively in Congress.
and in view, therefore, Of the public and
probably prolonged debate which a ques-
ton Of war would cause a formal declara-
don would be superiuous. Close students,
however, Of the workings OF our Federal
organic law have pointed out that in
spite OF the constitutional reservation
the President by virtue OF his powers
as Commander-in Chief Of the army and
navy might commit an act which irrev-
ocably would involve the country in a
contest with a foreign Power. Accord

that notice of a declaration of war should
be given to neutrals. met with general
approval on the part OF the committee
to which IL was submitted and a special
commission wss appointed to draw up
a definite rule. The rule. doubtless, will
fix the time during which belligerent
merchant vessels will be permitted to
remain in a neutral port after notice of
a declaration Of wal has been published.
II is obviously to the interest Of a great
naval Power, competent TO institute
blockades on a great scale, TO minimize
the time during which an enemy's
merchant vessels would be exempt from
capture.

o in the shape in which they should be.
The trees and shrubs are not trimmed.
Roads and walks need attention.
From a business standpoint no policy
could be worse than that which allows
these valuable and expensive properties
TO fall into disrepair. To make good
the damages caused by one season Of
ignorant or careless neglect will cost a
great sum. This is a material, cold view
10 take Of the matter; it should be re-
membered that the taxpayers have to
gather the money that is spent on the
parks in cold, material ways.
From a sentimental standpoint it is
shocking that the parks should be grass
less, Uttered, foul and unattractive.
From a hygienic and sanitary stand
point it is criminal for these breathing
places to be allowed to collect filth and
dirt. to become breeders Of disease
instead of being purifiers anf health
restorers.
incidentally. from the standpoint of
a politician, it is mighty sh~ortsighted to
rouse the resentment Of the voters of
