ENDEAVoRING
TO SOLVE GARBAGE PROBLEM

PASADENA, Sept. 29-City authori-
ties are endeavoring to solve the ques-
tion of disposing of garbage, which was
made rather serious by the failure OF
the $4,000 bond issue for an incin-
orator.
The sanitation committee of the city
council has been asked to inspect
new site for the dump outside the city
limits about one mile from the present
location.
Garbage is now hauled TO tract of
land owned by the city in the Arroyo
Seco, and an attempt is made to con-
sumo it by pouring crude oil on it and
setting it afire.
This produces a rank smoke, which
residents of the district claim is a
public nuisance.
on recommendation of Councilman
Fl. G. Cattell the lighting department
will endeavor to purchase some old iron
rails. which can be used as a CRATE,
wherever the garbage Is burned. 1t IS
hoped that with the better draft caused
by this change the nuisance will be
1esSened.

decided once for all.
The city health department is anx-
ious to press the work and has already
made a good beginning, but is expert

case of plague developed there not long
ago and that Pasadena might as we'll

the latter sister to the bride, went to
Los Angeles Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. w.

NEW CHARGES LAID
AT NORRIS DOOR
ACCUSED OF HAVING FORGED
FICTITIOUS MORTGAGE
Six Attachment Suits Placed Against
Attorneys Property, All of Which
Was Decided Lately to
His Wife
Especial to The Herald ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 29.-For-
gerry has been added to the charges
laid at the door of the missing Cramer
B. Morris, it being alleged that he
forged the name of County Recorder
J. f. Johnson, jr., to fictitious mort
gage supposed to nave been given to
Mrs. Augusta Papenhausen to secure a
loan of $1,000.
No less than six attachment suits
have now been placed against the prop
erty of Morris, which was all decided to
his wife before he dropped out of site.
A warrant has been issued for his ar
rest on a charge of embezzlement, the
Brown Kramer, a widow whom he Is
said to have defrauded out of $4,000.
In fact, the estates of widows and or
phans seem to have been Morris long
suit. 1t has developed that Mrs. Sarah
Marshall of San Francisco is a loser
through his peculations by $500, which
money Morris Is alleged to have had
the use of for nearly ten years, she
having been a former resident of this
valley.
Mrs Van Salzen, as guardian for
George Conant. today got out an
attachment for $500, money which he is
said to have made away with. The
n1l1S or Iil6 AUOlSOn dd1HeT eSldle
want $400, while a man named Adams
of Los Angeles wants $1,000. The status
of the Julia Hagermaster estate, which
was handled by him, is also being
looked up.
The first attachment placed against
the property is that of Mrs. Brown
Kramer, and the others are all subject
to her claim.
The condition of affairs as they are
now coming to the light is simply as
founding, Morris having carried on his
operations for many years. 1t is said
that as one of those from whom he
had secured money became dissatisfied
he would pay the debt off with money
obtained from another. For years he
stood high in the civic. social and re-
ligious life of Cotton. where he was city
attorney at one time.
After continuing the hearing in Los
Angeles of Cramer b. Morris until Sat-
urday morning, Police Justice Freder-
ickson issued a warrant calling on him
to show cause why his bonds should
not be forfeited for non-appearance In
court last Saturday.
Unless Morris makes a proper show
ing as to the cause of his absence from
court the bondsmen have been notified
that they will he ordered to pay 5000 to
the court.

With visions of those long loved and
