Hawkes., Is years old, was shot. by
an unidentified person late yesterday
as the steamer Island Queen was going
up the river near The same place

By Associated Press
PASADENA, July 8O.-F. S. Allen,
president of the Tournament of Roses
association, has resigned. The resig-
nation was placed in the hands of Sec
rotary Willis Johnson ten days ago,
but has just been made public
1t has not yet been acted upon, as a
number of the directors are out of
town. AS soon as a full meeting can
be secured one Will be held, but the
date is very indefinite.
Il took the position last year under
protest" said Mr.. Allen today, las l
was overwhelmed with private bust
ness. But l was anxious to help out
in every way possible. Now, how
ever. I am away from home more than
ever, and in the fall will have to
make a long eastern trip. which pos
sibly may extend over the holidays. In
justice to both sides a resignation was
the only thing possible"
Allen has been a tireless worker for
the tournament, which owes much of
its success to him. j. II. Holmes,
lessee of Hotel Green, is the vice presi-
dent and the logical man to succeed
Allen if he will take the position.
He has not yet been approached, and
it is possible that the work of running
the hotel will be too onerous for him
to assume the heavy duties of presi-
dent of the Tournament of Roses asso-
citation.

Lincoln Roosevelt league committee
members and their guests had a love
feast at their weekly luncheon at the

Reports were received from all parts
of Los Angeles county indicating that
the anti-machine forces would make
themselves felt at the coming prima-
ries.
The principal event was an address
by Lee c. Gates explaining why he
had not consented to run for congress
in the Seventh district. The burden of
Mr.. Gates remarks was that i'll health
prevented him from taking part in an
arduous campaign.
At the last meeting of the league
Editor Whitaker of the FL Monte Ga
zette said there was discomfort among
some members Of the league who felt
that Mr.. Gates should run, as his
chances of election were bright, and
this statement was one of the reasons
which led to the reply of yesterday.

The gentleman from the country was
heard in stern silence by the trustees,
but no assurance was held out to him
that the council would act in accord
ance with the compromise proposal. In
fact, the feeling in this city is adverse
- the proposal.
There seems little doubt that the an
nexation proposition will be carried
through as commenced.
In case the city of Belmont Heights
becomes a fact it will be a seashore
city without any beach, since Long
Beach will have taken possession of all
the available water front.
The feeling locally is that the resi-

have been far from courteous in their
treatment of their Long Beach neigh

DAM IN LITTLE BEAR VALLEY
DISCOVERED TO BE LEAKING
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, July 3o.-A
strange condition has been discovered
in connection with the big dam being
built for the Arrowhead Reservoir and
Power company in Little Bear valley.
Water has been found leaking through
the portion of the dam which was
built in 1907, and it is evident some
thing is wrong with the dam.
The matter has been temporarily
adjusted between the Arrowhead Res
ervoir and Power company, who are
promoters of the dam, and Bright 81
Drew, the contractors. The latter
have agreed to build concrete cur
tain inside the dam, to be anchored to
the core wall, SO as to protect the
dam. The matter of adjusting the
question of who is to blame will be
determined later, perhaps in court.

NEW ROUTE CHOSEN FOR
CITYS OUTFALL SEWER

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, July SO-An entirely
new route for the east side outfal
sewer has been selected by City En-
gineer Van Ornum. 1t runs direct to
the northern part of the sewer farm.
This action was made necessary by
the unwillingness of H. E. Huntington
to allow the sewer a right of way
across his residence property in Oak
Knoll, which was the original route
surveyed.
The line ran through canyon which,
Huntington says, he is planning to
make a notable beauty spot. After
several conferences between the trolley
magnate and Mayor Farley it was de-
cided that the city should select an en-
tirely new route.
The outfall will be on the highest
part of the sewer farm, in a septic
tank. Here the sewage from the entire
city eventually will run and be purified,
so that it can be used for irrigation.
