MAY CALL ELECTION
FOR BOND ISSUANCE
Proposition of Water Company for
Construction of System TO Sup
ply Entire City Meets
with Favor
Isnecial to The Herald. !

POMONA, Dec. 2.-Among the impor-
tant things considered at the meeting
of the local city trustees at yesterday
afternoons meeting was the PROPOSE
ton for building a high pressure water
system to give better city fire protec-
ton, the illegality of the recent city
hall bond election, the calling of new
election, the opening of bids for an
auto fire truck and the locating of the
new city stables at White avenue ana
the Southern Pacific track.
All the trustees favor the proposition
of the water company to build a COM
plete water system connecting with its
big tunnel north of Claremont, to bring
water down here under pressure of a
hundred pounds and distribute it over
the business section of the city and in
the residence sections of the city Wher-
ever possible. The city must agree to
pay for the fire hydrants and also a
rental of 25 cents a month for each tap,
and also promise that the present water
rates will be maintained for seven years
from date,
The board is considering the matter
of introducing a resolution of intention
to call an election on the question of
issuing bonds to the amount of $4,000,
$50, 900 to be expended for a new city
hall and $4,000 for the purchase of
block 65. The former bond election for
the city hall has been declared illegal.

BOARD OF TRADE TO
EXHIBIT IN PARADE
Membership Continues to Increase
Steadily and Another MONDAY
Luncheon VIII Be Given
at an Early Date

PASADENA, Dec. 2-Directors of the
Pasadena board of trade this evening
decided to enter a handsome tallyho in
the great Tournament of Roses parade.
The tallyho will not be entered for
prize, as the directors feel that, as an
organization, the board could hardly
compete for honors with private in
dividuals and with boards of trades
and chambers of commerce from other
cities. In addition the board will do
what it can to further the tournament
by practical cooperation.
1t was also decided that the success
of the last MONDAY luncheon of the
board of trade had been such that an
other should be attempted on or about
December II. A committee consisting
of President E. T. Off and Secretary A..
j. Bertonneau was named to take
charge of this feature of the board s
work
Secretary Bertonneau presented for
the approval of directors the names of
several applicants for membership. The
membership of the board is now at
high water mark, showing the steady
growth of the city, even during the
slack times of the past twelve months.

AFTER PARTIAL ANALYSIS
FINDS POISON PRESENT
Sickness of Vest Family Still Remains
Mystery-Two Extra PatroImen
Detailed to Investigate
the Case

PASADENA, Dec. 2.-Prof. A. K.
Gaylord Of Throop has not completed
the exceedingly thorough analysis he
is making in connection with the poi
soning, November 30, of Mrs l.. M.
Vest and her two children. He has
discovered, however, poison OF dis
tinct character that must have been
introduced by some method into the
simple food of which the family par
took.
The meal INDUCED in was of the
plainest character, consisting of a ce-
real breakfast food, milk and sugar
AS regards the first, it is noted that 1t
was contained in a carton, into which
it would seem almost impossible to IN
troduce a foreign poison.
The theory of suicide has been uni
versally rejected, all agreeing that Mrs.
Vest was a most unlikely person to
attempt such a thing, apart from the
fact that it would mean also the muir
der of her children, to whom she is
much attached. She is in moderate
financial circumstances and is not
known to have any reasons for being
tired of life.
Equally puzzling is the supposition
of a murderous attempt by an outsider,
as Mrs. Vest is not known to have any
bitter enemies.
The chief of police today visited the
woman, and although the authorities
will continue to be much in the dark
until Prof. Gaylord shall have finished
his analysis, Patrolmen Schultz and
Peck have been set specially to work
on the case, the police being resolved
to leave no stone unturned in their
endeavor to throw light on what APP
GEARS to be at present an impenetrable
mystery

ERROR IN INDICTMENT is
BENEFICIAL TO Defendant
Information Charges offense as AS.
sauIt, When, 1t Is Claimed, the
AssaiIant Had Intent to
Commit Murder

SANTA ANA, Dec. "A slight error
by the district attorneys stenographer
may give G. c.. Southern, charged with
assault with intent to murder, short
Imprisonment only, if the court holds
with the attorneys for the defense that
a fatal error has been made by the dis
trict attorney in filing information
against Southern.
This morning demurrer to the in
formation was filed by Attorney r. Y.
Williams, on the ground that it named
the offense as simply an assault with
a deadly weapon, although in the in
formation a showing is made that the
assault is with intent to commit muir
der.
Attorney Williams contends since the
information named assault with a
deadly weapon as the offense, his eli
ent cannot be charged with a greater
offense, and the court is impressed APP
parently, as the question is taken under
advisement until next Friday.

MT. WILSON OBSERVATORY
LENS ARRIVES SAFELY
Has Been Brought from France and
is Worth Now 6o,Ooo-PoIish-
ing Will Take More
Than a Year

PASADENA, Dec. ELEVEN days out
from New York, there reached Pasa-
dena this morning the great glass cast
ing which, when ground at the Santa
Barbara street laboratory of the Mount
Wilson observatory, is to form the
great 100-inch telescope lens to be
placed on the mountain peak. While it
is generally called a lens, in reality
the glass is to be a mirror and will
form telescope similar to the great
tive-foot one now being completed on
the peak.
The rough glass, as it reached Pasa-
dena over the Southern Pacific, IS
valued at 100000. 1t was cast abroad
and shipped to New York. Thence it
was brought to Pasadena on an Or
binary fiat car. All agents along the
line were wired to take special care of
the car and see that it was not dam
aged. The glass was shipped in bond
to the solar observatory, and the duty
viii have to be paid in this city.
The glass weighs six and a half tons,
and it will take a year or two, in all
probability to polish it and carry it ia
the mountain top. 1t was cast at st.
Godin, France.
