PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL
TO RIVAL THR00P POLY
viii Establish Technical Course for
PupIIs-WiII Save Money BY Ex-
pending Sum on Buildings

PASADENA, Dec 9.-In spite of the
presence of Throop institute in Pasa-
dena, the board of education today is
sued a statement declaring that the
proposed new high school must be Of
q combination character. suitable for
both classic and technical courses. The
board recognizes that this plan would
probably increase the number of stu
dents from 500 to 1000 at once, and de-
clares for a building capable Of ac-
commodating a far larger number. The
board points out that high school pu-
pills trained along technical lines could
be kept at home by being given ad-
vanced education in Throop college.
The findings Of Professor Chamber
lain, who was retained to formulate
plans for a new high school, are
against building on the present site
on Walnut street While to add to the
present building would cost but $4,000,
showing a cash saving of S60,OOO with
additional buildings, it is stated that
the new building would be unsatisfac-
tory in many ways and that 1t is not
deemed economical to duplicate high
school buildings. Also the remodelng
of the building would not give a per
fectly fireproof building such as Is de-
sired. It would be worth as much as
the sum saved for other purposes than
a high school. With bungalow at
tachments it now houses 500 students
or twice the number for which 1t was
built

Especial to The Herald.1

PASADENA, Dec. 9.--Sinee he was
old enough to talk Karl Brandenpurg'
the Pasadena newsboy whose voice Is
to be trained by Ellen Beach AaW at
her Covina home, has had the voice OF
a man. Instead of lisping his nrst
words in a childish treble, he developed
at the very beginning Of life the barl-
tone voice which produced so favorable
an impression upon the operatc star
when she recently agreed to instruct
him, and proved to shorty Branden-
burg that she is in truth the friend Oh
the newsboy."
Although a young lad in stature
Karl has a face years older than his
age, which is 15, and his voice Is in
keeping. 1t was at first taken by Mrs
Yaw- Goldthwaite to be a dramatic ten
or, but she soon perceived that 1t Is
splendid baritone. 1t ranges over two
octaves and a half, reaching down to
low c, a low register even for deep
bass voice.
"I began to sing at 10 years Of age"
said Karl while talking of his first les
son, which he is to receive next Thurs
day. From the beginning | sang with
q low voice, and at the Wilson gram
mar school have been singing first bass,
although l could sing much lower than
the other boys. l have never known
my voice to change in the slightest, and
Miss Yaw, when I sang for her, said
she thinks it is my permanent voice"

TROUBLE IN CAMPS OF
SPANISH WAR VETERANS
Clash Arises Over Concession for
Booth at Tournament of Roses at
Pasadena New Years Day

PASADENA. Dec 9.-How two
camps of Spanish War veterans work
together in Pasadena was shown today
when committee from Ensign Bagley
camp, calling upon the Tournament OF
Roses officials for permission to con-
duct a booth at Tournament park on
New Years day, found themselves pre-
ceded by the arrangements of Eddie
S. Moore camp. AS there is nothing
exclusive about the concession this
may make no difference. The w. c. 7.
u, G. A. r. and w. r. c. are among
those granted permission to sell things
at the park, and there will be no gen
eraI barbecue luncheon as In previous
years.
The only reservation by the Tourna-
ment officials is that those conducting
booths must affx in plain sight a
schedule of prices that must be rigidly
adhered to, and must also make public
the name of the organization conduct
ing the booth.

SANTA ANA, Dec. 9.-Jack Frost
an employe of German and Obarr's
meat market. fell from his horse last
evening at about o'clock, near the
slaughtering house of this firm. He
had started for the market stable when
the accident happened, and not put
ting in an appearance, four or five
men started in search of him, going
carefully over the road he was sup
posed to travel. They failed to find
him, but at II o'clock he staggered
into the slaughter house. He was not
able to tell just what had happened
to him in the interval of his falling
and the time he arrived at the slaugh-
ter house. He must either have been
unconscious, lying in the rain or wan
dering around in a dazed condition.
Though very sore and stiff today Frost
has suffered no Ill effects from his

DAMAGE AT SANTA
ANA DONE BY RAIN
FOUNDATIONS OF NEW HIGH
SCHOOL CAVED IN
Big Tent Used by the First Christian
Church During Erection of New
House of Worship is
Blown Down
Especial to The Herald.l

SANTA ANA, Dec. 9.-The heavy
rainstorm that visited Santa Ana and
vicinity last. night, following a more or
less steady rain during the day, did
some material damage. The worst
damage was the caving in of a portion
of the foundations of the addition to
the high school building which is now
being constructed. The north wall, a
foot in thickness and measuring 75X9
feet, also went down in the melee. The
section of foundation caving in meas
ured thirty-five feet. The damage
amounts to about 500, and a consid-
cradle loss of time. 1t is thought by
the contractors that the rest of the
foundation is unharmed.
Besides the accident to the school
house foundations and wall, the pelting
rain blew down a big tent used by the
congregation of the First Christian
church during the erection of their
handsome new church, now under way.
The rain loosened the stakes holding
the tent. The tent itself, as well as the
church furniture inside, was uninjured.
