FACES MANY CHARGES OF
UTTERING BOGUS CHECKS
Charged with Victimizing Firm of
CIothiers, w. F. Walden Says
He Will Not Fight Case

SANTA ANA, Sept. S.-W. F. Wal
don, charged with uttering a fictitious
check and securing $3.50 in cash from
w. H. Anderson, a local pool room
keeper, will have to face half a dozen
similar charges in case he should not
be convicted on this one. For today
Waldon appeared for his preliminary
examination, and believing the case
against him was the weakest of the
many pending, Deputy District Attor-
ney Finley asked that it be dismissed,
and as soon as that was done Waldon
was rearrested on another charge
brought by a local firm of clothiers,
the complaint alleging that Walden
had also victimized the firm for the
price of a suit of clothes and some
furnishings for which he paid with a
worthless check.
Waldon was held for trial in the
superior court, and as he left the court
room he said he would not ask for an
attorney to defend him, as he had no
intention of attempting to fight the
case,

POLICE CHIEF FAVOUR
TO GIVE UP POSITION
ANNOUNCES HE WILL QUIT
OCTOBER l
Head of Department Will Remain in
Office Long Enough to Dis
prove Any Charges
Advanced
Especial to The Herald.l

lSpeCldl TO Inc hefdlQ.l
PASADENA, Sept S.-Chief of Po-
lice H H. Favour, returning today
from a vacation, made the announce
ment that he would retire from office
October l. This action, asserts the
chief, was decided on during his stay
in Oregon, where he left his son at
tending school. A formal resignation
has not been rendered and will not be
until all doubt is removed as to cer-
tain rumors which have been banded
about the city to the effect that Favour
would have to face the commissioners
on charges vaguely hinted at but not
placed before the authorities.
Chief Favour was informed on his
return today that stories have been
affloat that he was under suspicion of
having received money in return for
hiding the identity of certain married
men who are alleged to have been
mixed up with the two girls found in
Pasadena after having escaped from
the Whittier reform school,.
Will Prove Charges False
1t is known the stories have been
carried to Mayor Farley and that some
investigation along these lines has
been made, but no charges have been
filed against the chief and he is hold
ing his formal resignation until he
learns what action will be taken. He
stoutly denies any connection with
crooked work and points to his clean
record in the department. He also
states that should charges be preferred
he will remain and prove them false,
at the same time Withholding his for
NAL resignation.
Should no action be taken, his ,resig-
nation will take effect on the first of
the month and there Is considerable
speculation as to who will be selected
as his successor. Mayor Farley as
serts the matter of a successor has not
been taken up, that the chief has not
regularly put in his resignation, al
though he admits he has stated he
will leave October 1.
Will Go to Oregon
In discussing the matter today Chief
Favour stated he had an excellent
opportunity offered him in Oregon and
unless his salary as chief was raised
from $125 per month to $175 he could
not see his way clear to remain in
Pasadena He admits there is no
prospect of his securing the raise and
has made plans to leave for the north.
Chief Favour has been the head of
the Pasadena police force for three
years. Some months ago he stated
publicly that unless his salary was
increased he could not afford to re-
main in Pasadena. An effort was made
to provide for an increase when the
new budget was considered, but failed.
Since that time it was known that the
chief was dissatisfied.
Harley Newell, the present consta-
BILE, is mentioned as a possible sue
cessor. Capt. Jack Pierce, who has
been acting chief during Favour's alb
sence, is also mentioned. Lieut.. w H.
Coping and Sergt. Longley are others
who are believed to have a chance to
be named. There is feeling, however,
that Mayor Farley and the police COM
missioners will select someone outside
of the police force.
