CITY COUNCIL ENGAGES
IN ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE
Discussion on Removal of Tree Pro-
vokes Remark as to Ethical Char
acter of Pasadena and Raises
Brainstorm

PASADENA, Oct. 6.-Although no
business of great Importance was
transacted, todays meeting of the city
council was marked throughout by sup
pressed uneasiness on the part of the
members which manifested itself in
long series of chickering's.
Acting on a petition of taxpayers,
the council decided to ask the Pacif1c
Electric company to put its crossings
at Colorado and Fair Oaks and Ray
mond avenues in decent shape. These
crossings have been constructed only
recently, but the petitioners allege that
they are public nuisance, causing
damage to automobiles and other
vehicles
The old oak tree on North Los Robes
around which debate has ragged for sew
eral months, will be allowed to remain
despite the opposition of Councilmel
Crandall and Braley. When a resident
of the neighborhood stated that the re-
moval of the tree would be reflection
on the ethical character of Pasadena
Crandall accepted the remark as in
tended for him and INDUCED in brain
storm, despite the mayors calls II
order.

POMONA, Oct. GA large represen-
tative body of Baptists met here today
to deliberate on the best plans for
Sunday school work. At $3.50 this
morning some eighty-seven delegates
and fourteen visitors assembled in the
First Baptist church of Pomona.

tees, and then the teachers training

by Amos w. Powell, and he guided
the other delegates in their talks Af-
ter an intermission for lunch the con-
vention reassembled at 1870 p. m.

ton of applicants for Sunday school

THE ILLINOIS SITUATION
Whisky Ring Wins the Legislature
Against Prohibition Candidates Clear

AS far as can be ascertained at the present time
the liquor have secured triumph in the
election of the Illinois legislature. Of the one
hundred fifty-three members of the lower house
ninety -four were Endorsed either before the pri-
mary or before the election by the Illinois Liquor
Dealers Association Of these ninety four, ten
had also the Endorsement of the Anti-Saloon
League. Without counting these ten, the liquor
men have clear ma jority of seven in the house.
This means undoubtedly that there will be no
advance legislation by this legislature. 1t GER
tainly means that the county option feature of
the local option bill cannot be passed. Some at
tempt may even be made to repeal the Sunday
closing law and amendments may be proposed
to the local option law that will weaken it. Look
ing at the election returns the liquor men will
say that public sentiment on the saloon question
is suffering a reaction. This of course is not
true, but looks to be true because of the cleo
ton returns. Thousands of temperance men who
ordinarily vote old party tickets, but who had
decided to vote the Prohibition legislative ticket
whipped into line at the last minute and
thus helped the whisky to gain their victory.
Two weeks before election there was every indi-
cation that the vigorous campaigns being waged
by many Prohibition candidates for the legisla-
ture would be successful Never before in the
history of the party had such a campaign been
made but during the last two weeks the pres
sure of party obligations brought to bear
upon temperance men in the old parties to such
an extent that this year there polled larger
straight vote than for many years in Illinois.
The Prohibitionists polled a legislative vote
from $4,000 to $4,000 larger than before
Three Prohibition candidates for the legislature
who had previously been elected to that body
secured more votes than they did when elected
and yet were far behind.
Evidence is ample everywhere throughout the
state that the Prohibition candidates for the leg
slature lost thousands of votes by fraudulent
counting on the part of election officials. There
is absolutely doubt about this. From district
after district reports have come to headquarters
that where old party voters desired to cast their
three votes for the Prohibition party candidate for
representative placing in front of his name,
this was usually counted but one for him and one
vote for each of the candidates the old party
ticket. This is directly contrary to the law
passed by the legislature stating how the votes
should be counted, but in precinct after precinct
throughout the state the election officials per-
sisted in so counting the ballots. This was due
in part to inadequate instructions which they had
on the subject, and due in part to the influence
of the old party precinct captains.
