Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 26.-Since the
meeting OF the Carmelita Gardens as
ISOLATION last night, at which less than
Is per cent of the subscribers were
present, the most optimistic members
Of the board of trade and other inter
ested organizations, who have hitherto
assumed a care-free and conhdent at
titude, are aroused to the fact that
they must buckle down and work IL
the project is to be a success.
President H. H. Godber of the state
Christian Endeavor union, who re-
turned today from a meeting OF the
executive committee in San Francisco,
saws the committee agreed to hold the
convention here next June and use
large tent If the convention hall was
not built by that time.
This fact however, viii not retaru
the work of the Carmelita Gardens as
eociation, which has $21, 900 in pledges
outstanding. These 1t proposes to col
lect at once before the mortgages Of
its property decide to foreclose.
A special solicitor will take up this
work within the next few days. the
subscribers undeniably feel discour-
aged, however, and are beginning to
think that a little outside help in COM
pleting their payments would be very
desirable.
Considerable resentment is shown
over the fact that the association was
Obliged to pay $3.50 taxes on the prop
erty last year, the city assessor hav-
ing valued 1t at 100000, which is $4,000
more than 1t cost. The association
thinks that, as 1t is a semi-public In
stitution, it should have been ex-
empted.

THINK SOUTH PASADENA
NEED NOT ISSUE BONDS
Declare Ample Water Can Be Supplied
from Pasadena Itself as Soon as
MuniclpaIizatlon Takes
Place


Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 26.-In spite of
the fact that South Pasadena will mold
a mass meeting tomorrow night to con-
slider a $30O,0 900 bond issue for adequate
water supply and sewers, residents of
this city think it's interests can be well
cared for here.
If Pasadena gets municipal water 1t
will acquire the Franklin wells on the
east side of town, which never have
been pumped. 7. s. Smith, Los An
geles expert, reports to Mayor Farley
his belief that 200 inches of water can
be secured there easily, and says that
If his firm is given contract for the
pumping plant 1t will guarantee that
much flow or take out the machinery
free of charge. This amount of water,
at such a location, would be ample for
South Pasadena's needs, and probably
could be nearly all diverted there.
City Engineer Van Ornum has stated
that, from an engineering point of
view, it is entirely possible for South
Pasadena to send all its sewage
through the outfall of this city's sys-
tenn without at all congesting the pipes.
This fact will be brought up at the
mass meeting tomorrow night and
probably will have an important in
fiuence on the sentiment for a. bond
issue. Its execution would save large
sum Of money for the southern NUM-
cipality.

INDIVIDUAL OWNERS SOLVING
PROBLEM IN STORM WATERS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 26.-Although a
comprehensive plan for carrying off
the storm water which during the win
ter menaces many residents of the
north side has not been put into exc
cution, several individual undertakings
are doing much to alleviate the situ-
alton.
Civil Engineer T. d. Allin is now
working on a scheme to care for all
the water which strikes the city near
Woodbury. road and has done much
damage in the past to berry growers
there. 1t is proposed to carry it to the
San Gabriel river.
Property owners between this city
and the Masonic home have formed an
assessment district and are now secur-
ing a right of way for ditch. The
course has been laid out.
Allin proposes to utilize this ditch by
turning all the water from what is
known as the east side wash into it.
1t is stated that no legal obstacles in
terfere.
The Frank c. Platt company is maxi
ing extensive improvements in the
same district, with a view to protect

FESTIVAL OF SEA IS
DOOMED VIGOROUSLY
Contest for Choice of Queen Is Excit-
ing Most Lively Interest and
VIII Be Closed Friday
Night

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Aug. 26.-The man
agement of the local Festival of the
Sea has been busy today preparing for
the advertising tour of the interior
towns Through the generosity of the
Salt Lake railway 1t was able to take
the Municipal band and a gang OF
boosters around with banners ,and ad-
vertising matter to all the important
cities along the line of that road in the
state, and much benefit is expected
therefrom.
The first stop will be Los Angeles,
where an hours concert will be given.
Only fifteen minutes will be given to
Ontario and Pomona, but as the con-
cert is being well advertised nearly
everyone in these towns should be
ready to receive the delegation. The
stop at Riverside will cover an hour
and a half, sufficient for a good con-
cert and for lunch. The afternoon wilt
be divided between San Bernardino and
Redlands, the party returning to Los
Angeles on the late evening train and
home over the Pacific Electric. The
managers hope the band may visit
some of the foothill towns, including
Pasadena and Monrovia, before the
opening of the festival.
1t was feared for a time this morning
that the date for closing the vote on
the choice of queen would have to be
changed, because of conflict with one
of the Municipal band concerts, but the
concert was withdrawn this morning
and the contest will end Friday even
ing. as planned. This contest Is grow
ing warm and the closing scene Friday
night promises to eclipse the record for
Long Beach.
One of the most delightful features
of the entire festival week will be the
children's section of the floral parade.
Mrs Bennett has the little ones well in
hand, and every feature promises to be
one of more than ordinary interest and
beauty The floats for the mimic queen
and her diminutive court will be to
many the prettiest feature of the
parade, and the costumes will be In
thorough keeping. At 2:S0 p. M Thurs
day the court will reassemble in the
auditorium, where the queen will be
crowned with elaborate ceremony and
the tiny attendants will give series of
flower dances and drills even more
beautiful than those given at the San
Francisco benefit. This promises to be
a distinctive feature of the general
show, and no one can afford to miss 1t.

Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 26.-John
d. Baldwin was murdered yesterday
afternoon. His body, horribly mutilat-
ed, was found today by Mexican
under a bridge south of town. Evil
IDENTIFY he had been waylaid and beaten
to death with rock some twenty feet
from where the remains were found,
and then dragged by the feet beneath
the bridge to conceal the crime from
anyone passing along the railroad
nearby.
The body contains seventy-five
wounds, the mortal ones being on the
head and face. Great gashes, four
and five inches in length, have laid
open the face and head in CHASTITY
manner, and on the mans back there
are innumerable bruises, suggesting
that after he had been beaten tnsen-
sible his assailant turned him face
downward and stamped upon the
PROSTATE form.
City Ticket Agent Toland of the
Southern Pacific tonight furnished the
first real clew to the murderer. On
learning of the finding of the remains
he hastened to Sheriff Ralphs and
stated that while on his way to River
side yesterday afternoon on the 4:10
Salt Lake train he saw Baldwin on
his knees and an Indian standing
above him holding a rock in both
hands as though in the act of striking
the kneeling man. Two squaws. one
with a little child, were hurrying from
the scene.
This corroborates the theory held by
Sheriff Ralphs, who is now positive
that jealousy on the part of the In
dian was the motive for the crime.
Numerous suspects have been looked
up.
Baldwin for several years was well
known character about town, liquor
being his besetting sin. Time and
again he was in Jail as a drunk or for
vagrancy, and once for petty larceny.
The place where he was found has
been a resort of Indians and tramps.
