TRUSTEES REFUSE
LIQUOR LICENSES
Sunday Dancing Stopped at Venice
Auditorium--ls Blow at the
Kinney interests and Re-
suits from Feud
Special to The Herald.


OCEAN PARK, Feb. 26.-What is
said to be a retaliatory movement of
the board of city trustees in the feud
existing between that body and the
Abbot Kinney company caused a stir in
business circles here this morning when
the board meeting as q committee of
the whole took action to force the dis
continuance of dancing at the pier
pavilion on Sunday and refused to issue
any liquor licenses for the month of
March,
The latter step means the closing up,
practically, of the auditorium, ship
hotel and st. Marks hotel, all Abbot
Kinney company properties, as well as
prohibiting the sale of liquor by the
Venice Grocery company, which rents
from the Kinney corporation. In the
matter of the dance hall the trustees
decided that the Sunday dances were
responsible for bringing an undesirable
class of people to the beach, their atti-.
tude being the result of detailed re-
port from Chief of Police C. ]. Foster.
The board also made q ruling to re-
strain the Kinney company from turn
ing in private fire alarms from the
auditorium. The action of the trustees
on the liquor question is looked upon
by the merchants generally as a great
calamity and some of them profess to
believe that it means the disruption of
their business enterprises. Among the
resident element, however, a different
view is taken of the matter, the action
of the board on both the liquor and
dance questions receiving hearty ap-
prOVal.

PASADENA, Feb. 26.-President Tor
rey Everett announces this evening that
unless 1t rains tomorrow the big annual
picnic of the Southern California Iowa
association, which was postponed from
Washington's birthday, will be held.
Last year something between 10000 and
10000 people took part in the outing, and
this year. even if not on legal holiday,
1t is anticipated that many thousands
will picnic at Eastlake park.
About twenty women, wives of men,
bers of the local lodge of Elks, went to-
day to the South Pasadena Orphans
home and there sewed on garments for
the little inmates During the day half
a hundred gowns were made, and at
noon there was a regular sewing bee
luncheon, the women having brought
the materials with them.
A. T. Wells, an autoist, nearly gave
Police Judge Mcdonald heart failure to-
day by pleading guilty to a charge OF
exceeding the speed limit and accom-
panying his plea by the explanation that
he knew he was running through the
city at a rate of twenty-five miles an
hour because his speedometer so in
formed him. Wells was only fined $15
by the astonshed judge.
William Fischer took umbrage at q
remark made by a waiter in the Grimes
restaurant this morning and committed
a personal assault. He was arrested
and fined $40 for his offense.

ROADS AND CITY MAKE TRUCE
Council of Pasadena Fails to Pass on
Second Reading Ordinance Re-
quirlng Crossing Gates
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Feb. 26.-Something re-
sembling a truce was patched up be-
tween the steam railways and the city
council at the regular council session
today. The ordinance, the direct out
growth of several crossing accidents
which forced the council to take tardy
action compc.l ling the railways to place
flagmen, gates and bells at practically
all crossings in the settled parts of the
city, should have been read for the sec
ond time and adopted but it was not.
Representatives of the railways were
on hand to explain that some of the
provisions of the ordinance are ridicu-
lous and the council evidently took
something of the same view of the
matter, for a conference was arranged
for 2 O'Clock Thursday afternoon be-
tween the railway people and the COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
a Bids for the latest addition to the
building municipal electric light plant
were received, opened and referred to
the head of the department for report
The bids call for the expenditure of over
$4,000 and involve the tearing down of
two of the walls of the citys building
on Glenarm street which is to house the
electric plant This building Is but
newly completed and is even now too
small for the machinery 1t is planned
to hold.

are now being prepared by architects.
This site offers one of the very fin
est in this city for an apartment house.
At the foot of Locust avenue it Is
reached by a cement roadway. Close
to and overlooking the ocean, from it
may be obtained an east view of the

phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l2h

PASADENA, Feb. 26.-Thomas Ear
lev the candidate of the business ele-
ment for mayor, discharged the second
broadside of tho city campaign this
evening, going into what the enemy,
Waterhouse, claims is his particular
stamping ground. the North side. for
the discharge OF the ammunition. I'm
dIsmayed by the fact that his meeting
was taking place at 1928 North Fair
oaks avenue, Mr.. Farley, who has been
a leader i'm the good roads movement,
made as the piece de resistance of his
argument the one particularly unpleas-
ant feature of the administration, the
municipal water question.
There is no doubt after tonight that
this ls to be the issue of the campaign
and this evening Mr.. Farley took the
water question from It's start and at
tempted to show how the present ad-
mjpistration which he is opposing,
thrbttled the water plans of the city
after the people had voted to issue
bonds and purchase the local plants.
One of the most significant sections
OF his argument concerned the effort
of the Lake Vineyard company to get
the council to agree to pay for perma-
n,ut improvements in addition to the
agreed upon cost of the plant should the
city purchase it. He showed how the
company had asked the council to guar
antee by resolution that it would pay
for these absolutely essential improve
ments, and how the council had refused
to do so.
Mr. Farley also brought out an en-
tirely new plan for selecting city Off
cials when he said that he does not be-
lieve in nominating by petition, and
suggests that in the future a mass
meeting be called at which names be
selected the voters of the city to mail
post cards with their choice upon them,
and the two or three receiving the high
est number OF straw ballots to be con-
sidered as candidates and voted for at
the polls.

VENICE, Feb 26.-The question of
appealing to the committee having in
hand the distribution of John d. Rookie
felier's recent enormous donation of
funds for educational purposes, for the
wherewithal with which to build a
Polytechnic college in this section, was
discussed by members of the chamber

last evening. The members of the or

the site of the proposed city hall build

over to the college project and that
the city would have little difficulty in
securing a more centrally located site
for the municipal structure. The mat
ter will be the subject of a discussion

CHANCE OF SALARY
FOR NEW MAYOR
New FreehoIoers' Charter Leaves the
Question Open for Council to
Settle-Pre- @ lection Promise
to Be Demanded
Special to The Herald.

SDeClal TO Inc IteTaIu.
SANTA MONICA, Feb. 26.--It was
generally believed that the freehoders
charter under the provisions of which
this city Will hold an election on April
1, had been thoroughly dissected and
its contents subjected to a finished
analysis. But a new and important
matter which viii call for the grave
consideration of the voters was brought
to notice today in the fact that although
the general impression is that the forth
coming mayor is to be q non-salaried
official, there is nothing in the charter
to show such to be the case, while as a
matter of fact the document contains a
clause the elasticity of which might be
applied to make the office a salaried
one.
Section 16 article 2, of the charter
states: THE said corporation (munici-
paD shall have the power To fix the
salaries of municipal officers, except
those officers whose salaries are fixed
by the charter" 1t further stipulates
that "the mayor and all other officers
of the city shall receive such salaries
as may be fixed by this charter or ordi-
nance" Several well informed citizens
who expressed themselves on the mat
ter this evening were of the sentiment
that the question was one on which a
clear understanding would be demanded
by the voters. Members of the council
are provided for by the charter which
states that each member of the board
is to receive $5 for each meeting at
tended by him, not to exceed one meet
ing week, and that each member shall
receive an allowance of Sc per day dur
ing such time as the body sits as a
board of equalization.
The council will meet annually in
August as board of equalization, the
session not to exceed two weeks.

LONG BEACH, Feb. 26.-While the
Pacific Electric company is hastily
building it's line between here and West
Long Beach, the people generally are
wellnigh consumed with curiosity as to
how the electric line will cross the
mouth of the San Gabriel river. The
company is evidently planning to open
traffic on the new extension in the near
future.
AS is we'll known. the trestle bridge
now carrying the Salt Lake Railway
companys tracks across the mouth of
the San Gabriel has been ordered out
within nine months. the war department
having held that the river is navigable.
No steps have been taken, at least so
far as concerns actual work on the
ground, toward building the proposed
drawbridge 1t is rumored that for the
present the Pacific Electric may utilize
the track of the Salt Lake in crossing
the rivers mouth.
