PASADENA, Feb. 1t.-Turning n
corner on a slippery street while riding
at full speed on a borrowed motorcycles
he did not know how to stop, Fire COM
missioner Medill of this city took a
header this evening that rolled him
completely across street and com
pletely plastered him with mud from
head to foot, so say witnesses to the
affair.
The story reads something like tale
from the diary of Citizen FiXit. Com
missioner Medill Is reported as having
seen dray wagon passing rapidly up
the street in the direction of Library
park. officer Coping of the police
force was on the dray, and the horses
were spreading themselves to cover the
ground.
In addition to his other public func-
tions Mr.. Medll is also n police COM
missioner, and he was at once IN
terested In the developments of case
which required so much haste.
He nailed the first motorcycle he
could find and started in pursuit up
Fair Oaks avenue. The express team
swerved to the right and took off up
Walnut street, bound for Library park.
The object of their run, by the way,
was George Toms, who had again got
on periodical jag with Pasadena
booze and was enjoying drunken
sleep, unconscious to the world in the
most conspicuous portion of the park.
When Commissioner Medill attempted
to swerve from Fair Oaks avenue onto
Walnut street he found that his motor.
cycle was II stranger to him. He lid
not know its workings and was forced
to turn the corner at full speed, for he
could find no way to shut off the ma
chine.
The turn was taken at race-horse
speed. 1t was taken by the commits
sioner on his head most of the way,
and he picked himself up from his un-
dignfied position with a few naughty
sayings rising unrepressed from his
lips.
1t was also stated by those witness
ing the affair that the accident re-
suited in injury to the motorcycle and
that repairs were necessary before Il
was returned to It's owner.

CANARY FLIES AWAY
BUT RETURNS AT NIGHT

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Feb. 11.-Marco Yes
sella flew away today from window
of the Del Mar hotel at the corner of
Ocean and American avenues. A re-
ward was offered for his capture and
for several hours there was great COM
motion about the fashionable hostelry.
But late this afternoon Marco Vessella
flew back in at the window where he
made his escape and perched upon the
back of a chair, where he trilled sweet
lY as If nothing had happened out of
the ordinary. This Marco Vessella was
not the well-known leader Of the Royal
italian band. but a canary bird which
this musician recently gave to Mr.. and
Mrs. Alex Smith, easterners stopping
at the Del Mar.
The following "ad" was found this
afternoon in the columns of a local
newspaper:
"Lost-Yellow canary, brown spots on
neck, back and wing. Flew from win
dow of the Del Mar hotel. Is perhaps
somewhere in that vicinity. Generous
reward paid If returned to Alex Smith,
room IA, Del Mar hotel"
The canary Is sweet singer, very
tame and had been allowed the freedom
of the Smith suite. These tourists had
become so much attached to their pet
of four months that they were fear
fully excited when the little singer
sailed away through an open window.
''Why he was worth $780, cried
Mrs. Smith. And after an unavailing
search in the vicinity of the hotel Mr..
Smith was dispatched to the news
paper offices to insert an advertise
ment. The bird returned of his own
accord this evening, entered the self
same window and modestly accepted
the lavish caresSeS of his owners. He
had wandered only four blocks from
home and had roasted all afternoon
high in tall eucalyptus tree. From
this lofty perch a number of school
boys spent several hours vainly' trying
to- dislodge him.
The bird Is said to be of q pure breed
and very valuable.

IS VOTED
OUT OF CHURCH
Rev. Dr.. F. p. Berry Loses Charge by
Vote of 2o3 to 1872 Taken at
Mass Meeting of Con-
gregation

Rev DR.. F. p. Berry was voted out
Presbyterian church last night at a
congregational meeting called to decide
the contention that had been in the
church for several months regarding
his continuance as pastor.
There was a large congregation pres
ent and the affair took on a funeral as
pect as the speakers gave utterance
to their feelings both for and against
the retention of Rev. DR.. Berry as their
pastor.
Rev. DR.. w. S. Young was chosen as
moderator and seemed to realize the
solemnity of the occasion, and at the
beginning put q stop to any clapping
of hands. Rev. DR.. Young read Corin-
thians, chapter 13, which was followed
by prayer.
Then the solemn action was advanced
by the reading of resolution by Mr..
Whitcomb favoring the retention of
Dew. Dr. Berry as pastor, following
which he dwelt at length on the work
of 'the pastor and his adaptability to
the pastorate.
EuIoeizes Pastor
Mr. Lintz said that he had been con-
nected with the church for five years
and from the first saw a dissension
among the younger members and had
tried to dissuade them from entertain
ing anything against their pastor, but
it had appeared so plainly that he was
compelled to come out and make the
stand against the continuance of DR..
Berry as pastor.
Mr.. Howard read a paper prepared in
favor of Rev. DR.. Berry. which was fol-
| lowed by remarks by DR.. McClung as
superintendent of the Sunday school,
stating his views as knowing the pulse
! of the young people as against the re-
tention of DR.. Berry.
Miss Bassett, member of the Christian
| Endeavor society, made a feeling plea
for DR.. Berry.
| Mr.. Hammack, church clerk, gave the
historical events of the church and of
the trouble.
| Judge Noyes offered a substitute for
the first resolution, which did advo-
cate the retention of the pastor but
that if voted upon adversely as to his
remaining as pastor it should close
April /, but that he should be on the
payroll until September 30.
Several people argued pro and con
and it was at last brought to a point
by voting by ballot. The voting result

ton of the pastor, which will be placed
before the presbytery by the following

that there will be u record run to-
gcther" of the members of the mystic
order. Although the circulars sent out
urge that the women also attend, the
Shrlners intend to "whoop 1t up" in
the proper way and Potentate Flint has
announced that he will blow his entire
ego through his brass horn when he
leads the band
The only serious part of the days OBJ
servancc will be the laying OF the cor
ner stone of the new $150000 temple,
for which ceremony the plans have not
yet been completed. Addresses will be
made by prominent Shriners from all
over the country, aided by the Shriners'
ritual for such occasions. The rest of
the day will be devoted to a program of
festivities arranged by the Bedouin
patrol which Is in charge of the enter
tainment features.
The afternoon will be begun by a
gigantic parade, and representatives of
nearly every lodge of Shrners in the
west are expected to be in line. There
will be more speech making and a gem
eral pow-wow when the parade breaks
up, and the clansmen will gather again
In the evening for a theater party.
Potentate Flint has purchased the en-
tire seating capacity of two local the
aters for the evening and admission
will be free to all Shriners.
Dutch Lunch
The crowning achievement of the day
will be a Dutch lunch at Levy's restau-
rant after the theater. The circulars
state that 1t will be an "original Dutch
supper" Since most Dutch suppers are
original there is nothing startling in
this, but Mr. Flint promises that this
one will be the most original ever.
"Epicurean delights and other attrac-
tions are promised.
The new Shrine auditorium has been
the cause of much justifiable pride
among the local Shriners and will be
the finest building of it's kind in the
west. A bungalow club house, with
smoking rooms, billiard tables and
bowling alleys will be annexed. The
shrine proper will be a thoroughly
equipped temple for the use of the or
der.
A large part Of the $150,O0O invested in
the auditorium is being raised by the
sale of life memberships in the order,
and short term members have respond
ed generously by purchasing life men,
