TOURNAMENT OF ROSES
TO EXCEL ALL FORMER
Pasadena Arranging for Magnificent
Festivities Coming New Years
Day

PASADENA, Dec 5.-The Tourna
ment of Roses New Years day in this
city will eclipse all previous efforts.
Already the officials have received as
surances that the number of floats and
gayly decorated turnouts will far eX-
ceed that of any former occasion. A
unique feature of the parade this year
will be the large number of decorated
automobiles.
The street decorations this year will
surpass any previous year. The colors
predominant will be red and white.
At Tournament park, where the fes-
tivities following the street parade
take place a scene of unusual activity
Is taking place. The great race course
where the Roman chariot races are
held has been heightened and the
slight grade which in former years
was noticeable has been removed. At
the curves the track has been banked
at a proper angle and it is expected
that a new record will be set by the
drivers.
Both Revel English the Pasadena
society man who will have charge of
one of the chariots' and w. II. Leaven-
good, the veteran driver, who will have
charge of the other chariot, are spend
ing a great portion of their time in
training the blooded animals they in
ner takes $1,000 and the honors which
go with the revival of the sports of
the ancient Romans. The loser re-
ceives $500 to cover his expenses.
on the day before the tournament
the park fences are treated to a coat
of whitewash, and on New Years day
the utmost cleanliness is noticeable on
every hand. With the enlarged grand
stands, there is no doubt that the
mammoth crowds which will come to
Pasadena on this day will be handled
with ease.
The tournament Of 1910 marks the
tWenty-first annual festival of roses,
and for this reason every effort is
being put forth to make it set a mark
for future festivals. All the hotels
and most of the prize winners of last
year have signified their intention Of
entering the parade this year. The
schools. which in the past have made
elaborate entries, are already prepar-
ing their floats. An air of confidence
pervades the tournament headquarters.
and that the tournament of 1910 will
be the greatest in the history of the
city is considered a foregone con-
cluSiOn.

SAN PEDRO, Dec. SIN addition
to the political information published
in the daily press San Pedro voters
are we'll supplied with dodgers issued
by the local Good Government club.
These dodgers do not mince words,
but plainly show what is to be ex-
pected from Smith town" as COM
pared to an "Uncle Aleck town.
Tomorrow night, on the eve of the
big election, the club will hold its last
rally. The circulars announce good
speakers, such as Judge John d.
Works, Judge Robert NJ. Lusk and
Clarence NJ. Taggart, and promise also
Thomas Lee Woolwine and E. ]. F'lem-
ing.
Although many listened to such
spellbinders as Earl Rogers, Stanley
Wilson, Senator Savage and others at
the Republican" rally here last night,
those of the Alexander crowd who re-
sponded TO the invitation to come out
and be convinced report that not one
single argument was advanced for
smith and his crowd or one single
blemish put out against George Alex
ander and the Good Government ticket.
The program consisted of an abuse
of the "Goo Coos" and The Herald

Workingmen any recognition. While

careful to get representative men on

the first men he appointed was Ben

also a member of the Typographical

AGAINST KNOX
By Vote of l70 to lz3 Senate
Bill Is Rejected by Rep
resentatives. .
ALL PARTY LINES
ARE CAST ASIDE
Champ Clark Declares Measure
Is Attempt to Override
Constitution.
Especial to the Evening star.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-After q.
long and lively discussion today the
House of Representatives rejected, by n
vote of 17s to 123. the Senate bill re-
moving the constitutional bar to Sem
ator Knox serving as secretary of
state. All party lines were broken
To have suspended the rules, SO as to
pass the bill, two-thirds vote In favor
was necessary. Immediately after the
result was announced the committee on
rules held session with view to
bringing in rule whereby the bill could
be passed by a majority vote.
Mr.. Clayton .(Ala), Democrat, in
favoring the bill, said that it offended
against no provision of the constitu-
tion and that it's enactment into law
would not be in violation of the organic
law of the land.
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, opposed the
bill, which, he said, was simply an ef-
fort to override the constitution by a
statute. I'VE are asked to stultify our
selves" he exclaimed, land that is ex<
actly what it amounts to, for fear that
we will not be persona grata at the
White House."
Representative Mann, Republican, Of
Illinois, opposed the passage of the bill
on the ground that. Mr.. Knox's- ap-
pointment to that position would be un-
constitutional whether the bill was
passed or not
The bill was also opposed by Messrs
Gillespie, Texas Rucker, Missouri; /;
Hackett, North Carolina; Hardwick,
Georgia; Henry, Texas; Webb, North
Carolina; Manu. Illinois. and Cochran,
New York. and advocated by Messrs.
Parker, New Jersey; Lassiter Virginia; !;
De Almond. Missouri and Gaines, West
Virginia.
AS the result of viva voce vote on
the bill. Speaker Cannon declared that
it had been carried, but Mr.. Rucker raj
lied the opponents of the measure and
forced a roll-call which showed the bill
defeated.
After being in session a few mo-
ments the committee reported a rule to
take up the bill late this afternoon and
dispose of it.

sounded that night with exceptional
solemnity In the pauses the echoes

WOMAN ACCUSES
BRAUN AND THEN
FALLS in FAINT
Lawyer of Many Troubles Is
Charged with Embez-
zling $l,zSO.
MRS. HELENA SCHREIER
IS THE COMPLAINANT
Former Assemblyman Arraigned
and Later Released on
Large Bail.

Another chapter was today added to
the story of the troubles of former
Assemblyman Rudolph A. Braun. a
local lawyer, when he was arraigued
in the First Precinct Police Court and

his freedom, after depositing $3.50 for
his appearance today. In the absence
of James r. McDernit. his counsel,
who is i'll, Braun pleaded his own case
today
He contended that it had not been
proved that he converted the money to
his own use. Judge Hahn, after hear
ing the testimony, decided that he
would send the papers to the grand
jury and allow the lawyer his freedom
upon the renewal of the. 1850 bail.
Immediately after Judge Hahn had
disposed Of the case and Braun had
left the room, Mrs. Schreier fell into

ment. In November last however
