BOARD OF TRADE PLANNING
CAMPAIGN FOR WATER BONDS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. 5.-Since the board Of
trade determined to direct the campaign
for the water bonds public sentiment is de-
handing that Ed T. OFF, president, and j..
o. McCament, one OF the directors, be made
actual leaders of the fight 1t is regarded
probable that the two men will accept.
Mr.. McCament probably will be made
field director. while Mr.. OF will give a large
part of his time to the preparation of con-
vincing literature. This is to be one of the
most prominent weapons in the campaign.
Another plan under consideration is to
secure three four automobiles and keep
them constantly the road with parties of
inspection, visiting the various water plants.
Mayor Farley already has done much
notably efficient private work along this
line. and 1t is felt that no more desirable
method of conducting the campaign could
be found. The promoters now search
ing for available automobiles.

SUMMONED BY DEATH
 EQUITABLE OFFICIAL
Whom Process Servers Could Not
 Summon During Insurance Inquiry.

New York, July 15.-Thomas D. Jordan, formerly comptroller of the Equitable Life, dropped dead of heart disease last night in the Wall street station of the subway. It was during the course of the Armstrong committee insurance in vestigation that Jordan's name came strongly before the public It was brought out that the then COmptrol- Ter Jordan had secured loans of $6S5,000 for himself and James w Alexander, former president of the Equitable, from the Mercantile Trust company. and that these loans had been covered up on the books of the company. This SGS5,OOO came to be known as the yellow dog" fund.
 A desire was expressed by the Armstrong committee that Jordan appear before the committee and eX- plain the financial management of the Equitable, but the process serv- CTS were unable to locate him. His son was called before the committee and asked to tell where his father was. The young man said he did not know, and when further ques- tioned said he did not know whether his father was dead or alive.
 It was after the investigation had come to a close that Jordan put in an appearance. It was then learned that he had been to Europe. As a result of the disclosures made before the Armstrong committee the grand jury found eighteen indictments for forgery and one for perjury against Jordan. Only recently Jordan ap- peared before Justice Golf and plead ed not guilty to the indictments.
 Since his indictment Jordan re- mained before the public eye as little as possible He attended the meet ings of the directors of the cOmpa- nies in which he was interested, but kept in the background.
 Those who saw Jordan die say he to be in good health as he walked down the subway stairs Jordan purchased a ticket and had walked about fifty feet from the ticket takers window when he was seen to throw up his hands fall for ward on his face
