ground for taking the ordinance before
the courts.
The claim is set up by the automo-

authority to discriminate against any
class of vehicles on a county road.
Some time ago party with two ma
chimes from Los Angeles made a trip
over the grade, claiming they had a

trip causing some friction and i'll feel

Intervention was filed today in the
case of the Commercial bank of Santa

money in escrow and was prepared to
hand 1t over on the very day the at
tachment was served by the bank.
The complaint further alleges that
the attachment suit was part of
plan entered into by /. M. Won
Schriltz and the California Vegetable
union of Los Angeles to drive plain
tiffs out of the celery business and
asks that Won Schriltz as president of
the California Celery and Produce

PASADENA, June 2.-Negotiations
with the water companies of Pasadena
have been so far completed that 1t is
hoped to have binding contracts
brought before the city council at its
next session for approval, and with
this stage of the work completed it is
intended to hurry the proceedings to an
issue SO as to bring the bond question
before the people at an early g. date
as possible. 1t is said that there is a
possibility of the $1,000,000 bond elec-

few details to be worked out in the
contract with the Lake Vineyard Land

the North Pasadena Land and Water
company the descriptions of all proper
ties are In the hands Of the city at

be very quickly prepared.
As soon as the contracts are ready
they will be forwarded to Dillon &

minlstration resolutions Of intention for
calling the election may be passed be-

AVALON, Santa Catalina, June g.
Believing that the body of Anton Crist,
or "Tony the Creek as he was better
known, Is not lying at the bottom or
the ocean off Catalina island, although
he mysteriously disappeared In a skin
from his gasoline launch, the Zeus, his
friends and relatives will prosecute a
vigorous search of the island, confident
that il he was not rescued by some
foreign-bound vessel and "shanshafed, y
he will be found dead or badly crippled
and perhaps starving at the foot OF
some formidable precipice or lonely.
rocky arroyo, such as characterize the
topography of the "magic isle" of Cat
alma.
Since Tony vanished from the Zeus,
sometime between 2 and 4:30 o'clock on
the morning of May "a, two days after
which E. e. Easton, his wife, two chill
dren and a maid were picked up drift
ing on the ZeuS far out at sea, search
ing parties have been Oainly cruising
about the waters of Catalina and San
Clemente in quest of the Greeks body,
but with only the result that one oar
and his skiff were found, thus deepen
ing the mystery.
1t now seems possible Tony reached the
shore all right, after leaving his skiff,
and that he attempted to walk to Ava
Ion TO get ldulcn 10 go dllct thS
Zeus, which must have escaped from
him while at Silver canyon. although in
what manner may never be solved.
AS Easton's story of the affair would
indicate, Tony disappeared about 2
o'clock in the morning, and the night
being foggy it must have been quite
dark when Tony attempted to walk to
Avalon, if he really attempted 1t, and
the theory that he may be lying dead
or injured in some of the deep canyons
on the northeast side of the island
seems plausible.
AS last straw at which his friends
may grasp, the search of the island
will now be conducted, and with the
same systematic patience that has
characterized the search of the waters.
Parties today will go over the ground
carefully. Tom Whitly and Charles
German will make a careful examina-
ton of Silver canyon, where the III
fated party pitched its last camp, and
from where they went aboard the Zeus
at $3.50 o'clock on the night of May "a,
to awake the next morning far out at
sea and their captain and small skin
missing.
If the search of Silver canyon and
other canyons in the vicinity fails to
bring results, his friends will await
word from him in some foreign port,
which failing to receive, the case will
go down in history as another 'un-
solved mystery OF the seas" and the
fate of Tony the Greek will never be
known, though variously conJectured.
