THE LATE G. \. WEGEFARTH.-
There is considerable local interest in an
announcement from Philadelphia, No
vember 8, of the death of Gustavus A.
Wegefarth. who died at the Samaritan
Hospital on that date as the result of a
self-inhicted wound.
Mr.. Wegefarth was known in Washing
ton as proprietor of the Empire, now the
Majestic, Theater. where he expended q
vast amount of energy and money. a
genial man, Mr.. Wegefarth was not with
out eccentricities. He frequently made
personal appeals from the footlights for
more applause and patronage. and 1t was
through no lack of effort on his part that
the Empire was not made to pay"
However much Mr.. Wegefarth may
have lost here in the National capital. the
experience did not dampen his enthu-
siasm. He went from here to the Grand

PASADENA, Nov. 3.--what with the
silence of Prof. E. c. Cory and the delay
IN the arrival of his report on the munich
pal light problem, the non-appearance of
the chemical engine and hose wagon to-
gether with the shortage Of funds to carry
out contemplated features of the city
lighting plant, Pasadenas mayor has
cause for worry.
In municipal circles 1t was expected that
Prof. Cory would be able to advise the
mayor at once IT regard to the feasibility
of adopting either the Scattergood or
General Manager Glass recommendations
On the further expenditure of money on
the light plant.
For almost two weeks past nothing has
been received from Prof. Cory, and in
quiry at Berkeley reveals that he has
been absent from that city the greater
part of the week.
Regarding the chemical and hose wagon
for the enlarged fire department, the city
has no choice but to wait until the manu-
featuring company Is ready to ship the
equipment, as no penalty clause was at
tached to the contract with Harper &
Reynolds Of Los Angeles. The contract
was let to this firm last December and it
was the agreement that the equipment
should be delivered in Pasadena within
four months. 1t is now learned that the
equipment is being furnished by a st.
Louis manufacturing firm and that both
machines have not been completed on ac-
count of labor disturbances. Just when
they will be shipped has not been learned
by Harper e. Reynolds.
