PASADENA, Nov. 29.-Stockholders IN
the North Pasadena Land and Water com
pany today declined to issue additional
stock to be sold to residents of the dry
district" territory in. the northwest sec
tion of the city not included within the
boundaries of the North Pasadena water
district.
The issue has been before the North
Pasadena public for several weeks, and
when the final vote was taken today a
total of about 900 shares was voted IN
ravor of the proposition, which required
two-thirds of the total issue of 1857 shares
tc carry. Only five shares were cast
against 1t.
The result Is considered victory Tor
those holding the largest individual num-
Ter of shares of stock In the company as
they oppose any further extension of the
company's service and have fought the
proposition from its inception.
A number of persons residing in this So
called dry" section are now being Iurr
nlshed with water by the North Pasadena
company, although they are not entitled
to hold any stock. Last spring notlce
was served on these individuals that the
company would assume the responsibllltS
CT cutting off their supply of water at
any time the directors so decided.
People depending upon their water sup
ply from this source became alarlneu iest
they were to be cut off entirely without
notice and a restraining order was ap-
piled for in the superior court. Judge
Hutton still has the case under advise
rnent. and the people affected are still
getting their water from the same source.
1t is claimed that the residents of the
dry" section are not particular that they
should become stockholders in the North
Pasadena company, but they are desirous
OF obtaining water supply at any cost that
is reasonable.

OVER EIGHT HUNDRED
KILLED IN NINE MONTHS
ACCIDENTS ARE NUMEROUS IN
WINDY CITY
List of Injured Is 7434, and the Rec
ord Is Far in Excess of
the Last Two
Years

CHICAGO ILL.,, Nov. 29.-This has been
a year of violent deaths and accidents
in Chicago, according to figures which
have been compiled for the first nine
months of 1907 by City Statistician Hugo
Grosser.
From the records of the last three Years
Mr.. Grosser has discovered that acci-
dents from various causes are steadily
in the increase and that the percentage
for 1907 is far larger than for the two
previous years. His report was based
on police returns, which differ slightly
from the record kept by the health de-
partment and for this reason it is not as
accurate as 1t should be.
The table prepared by the city statis-
tician shows that sos persons have been
killed and 7434 injured by accidents for
the first nine months of the present year.
There have been 2S4 deaths by suicide
1.-THE reports of the rolice department
are not complete, says Mr.. Grosser,
for the reports of the health depart
ment, showing the cause of death. the
number of those dying by violences and
suicide, makes the number not less than
1861
A table showing the different causes of
violent deaths and injuries is as follows:

currency to make cash payments. This
latter demand has to be largely met by
money which would otherwise be avail
able for reserve. The withdrawal of this
reserve money reduces the reserves when
they should increase, and after it is no
longer needed Cor cash payments the
money returns to reserves and tends to
initiate loan credits and induce specula
ton.
1.-THE real solution of the problem is to
enable the banks to supply for the cash
transactions bank notes not available for
reserve ard which, therefore, do not con-
tract loans when paid out and do not in
fate them when they return. When the
harvests first begin in the south and
southwest the banks at once feel two
demands, first for loans to the people
who must provide funds to buy the
products of the farm and plantations
second, for currency to pay the wages of
labor and to pay for such products as
must be paid for in actual cash and not
10y transfer of credit by check.
"This demand for loans to be kept on
deposit makes more reserve money
necessary for the banks to hold, and at
the same time they must supply more
currency for cash transactions. 1t would
seem, therefore, perfectly automatic and
apparent to anyone that the best way to
meet the situation would be to keep in
the banks all the money which can prop
erly be used for reserve and to supply
for cash transactions currency which will
answer all necessary requirements, be
just as safe, just as convenient and just
as good in every way. but which is not
available as bank reserves. This can be
done simply. easily and automatically by
the proper use of the right kind of bank
notes, and in no other way.
There should be no limit to the amount
Of credits created for crop moving but
the Judgment of each bank as to the
credit 1t shall give to its customers. sub
ject to the limitations of the banking
laws and the amount of reserve money II
can provide to safeguard its deposits and
maintain its legal reserve. This is true
not only of the banks in the farming
country directly in communication with
the crop movement, but also those in all
the larger cities designated as reserve
and central reserve cities.
The whole volume of the deposit credits
of the country should be- and is. limited
only by the total amount of reserve
money available, and the amount granted
by each bank is limited only by the judg-
ment of it's officers and the amount of its
cash reserve

and the event was probably the most
beautiful of the current social season.
Given exclusively for mobiles of the

The wonderful evening costumes of the

mobiles, frightened by the omnipresent
scarlet fez, added the finishing touch to
the beauties of the softly lighted ball
room, making the scene one Of beauty un-
forgettable.
The lighting scheme of the previous
ball a month ago, red lanterns festooned
from the roof girders and softening the
too insistent glare of the white lamps,
was retained. The shield in front of the
musicians at the end of the room blazed
with "Al Malaikah" in letters formed by
red incandescents.
Refreshments Served
Under the personal care of Noble AL

from booths at the west end of the dane

DROPS POCKETBOOK OVER THE

Nearly Every Cent Once Wealthy Man
Had in World Contained in
PoucF--Now Clerks
in Grocery

One man in Los Angeles was not as
we'll satisfied with the goods the gods
provided yesterday as on Thanksgiving
day last year is A. j. Clark, formerly of
Minneapolis.
And the reason for this is found in
one of those accidents which, coming
at a time when the future is tinted
with rosy hues, when opportunities
spread in alluring garb and good for
tune beckons with magnetic finger,
seem all the more regrettable.
Mr.. Clark was for a number of years
a prominent architect in the Twin
city. Constant industry and persever-
ance had established for him reputa-
ton as builder of grain elevators and
mills, and after years of hard work he
had accumulated a fortune, modest in
these days of millionaires and multi
millionaires, but sufficient to place him
beyond the danger of want and assur-
ing to him a life of comparative ease,
should he desire to retire from the
cares of business.
Nevertheless he decided to take this
step, and selling out his holdings in
Minneapolis he converted them into
bills of large denominations and bonds
and stocks payable to bearer. Care
free, he determined to travel, and the
many tales of the beauties of the Pa
cific coast brought him to these shores.
He reached Oakland in the latter part
of October, and the busy life of that
city impressed him so much he became
imbued with the idea of again starting
in business. Wishing to extend his
Investigations he crossed the bay to
San Francisco. Here the great work
of rehabilitation further confirmed him

According to the police report the num-
ber of violent deaths was 1899. This is
below the record of the health depart
ment and shows, according to the city
statistician, that the police did not fol-
low up many cases OF accidents to see
whether death resulted or not. Mr..
G,osser shows that the percentage of
accidental deaths in 1905 was 27 in each
100000 population. In 1905 it was 20 and
in 1907 it had grown to 1922.
Seventy-eigh' persons were killed in
1905 by street cars and 9S persons were
killed and 2160 injured in 1906 These
figures are much smaller in proportion
than the records for 1907 Sixty-eight
persons were killed by being run over
or struck by cars this year and 542 were
injured. Eighteen were killed in leaving
or boarding cars and GIL were injured.
Persons who met death by various
causes, such as in collapse of buildings,
elevator accidents, explosions, accidental
shooting, overcome by gas, etc., num-
bered 300.
Twenty-four persons were killed and
