UNITE FOR DEFEAT OF
SOCIALIST CANDIDATES
Members of Regular Parties Conspre
to Elect Members to Board
of Education

PASADENA, June 1.-For the flrst
time in the history of Pasadena the
Socialists of the city have the regular
parties frightened. It's because OF the
school board election set for June 4.
The Socialists have concrete or
eanization which, it is admitted can
control practically coo votes. The regu-
lar forces together hold the balance d
mower, but the regular forces are split
in support of two tickets, each OF them
having a weak spot, while the Soclai-
ist ticket is of good average strength.
Also. there is a woman on the SO
cialist ticket and there are NUMBER
of people in the city who would IKE
to see a woman on the board OF edu-
cation The Socialists promise to keep
the married teachers in the schools,
provided they are as fit for the work
as others This will attract some
votes. T. is believed, for some of the
teachers are property owners and nave
many friends in the city.
For all these reasons an impromptu
committee of seventy men, represent
ing all factions, talked the matter over
this afternoon in the board of trade
rooms. They decided after much dis
cussion to intrust the matter to a
committee of three, Judge II. w. Ma
gee Lon f. Chaplin and Harlan w.
Hall, who are instructed to get the
candidates (there are six of them out
side the Socialist ticket together to-
morrow morning and endeavor to bring
about a compromise which will open
the way for a strong slate of but three
men with which to oppose the Social
lists

INITIALS S. B. w. IN HAT
OF MAN FOUND IN CANYON

PASADENA, June 1.--Employes Of
the Reynolds & Van Mugs undertaking
establishment brought out of the
mountains al dark this evening the
body of the stranger found dead among
the rocks of the Big Santa Anita cam
yon Sunday by Constable Lehmer of
Sierra Madre. 1t is doubtful if iden-
tification will ever be made, as the
entire face is gone. The one clue to
his identity lies in the letters, S. B. w.
marked inside tn brim of a black
slouch hat Black coat and vest, gray
and black striped trousers. high noun
tain boots and a gray cotton shirt
completed his clothing.
The man was bald-headed, but what
wisps of hair are left show brown.
The task of getting the body down
to the mules was a hard one. The
men hauled themselves up an almost
perpendicular cliff for $50 feet to where
the body lay, half way down the slope
from the trail. Then the body was
lowered foot by foot down the slope.
Coroner Calvin Hartwell viewed the
body tonight and issued a certificate
of death from an accidental fall from
the trail above. From the condition
of the body the accident happened
two or three weeks ago.

GIRL WHO TRIED TO SAVE
MOTHER AGAIN COLLAPSES

PASADENA, June AFTER bravely
fighting with all her strength to save
her mother, Mrs. Helen Kelsey, from
the awful death she suffered yesterday
afternoon, when the Kelsey home at
1875 Glenn avenue was burned, Mel
lie Kelsey the 17-year-old daughter,
collapsed today and was for a time on
the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Tonight she is somewhat better and
while still grief-stricken is able to re-
II mber more calmly the events of the
tragedy.
Mr. Kelsey said this morning, the
rumor which has spread that they
We're entirely destitute is not true.
While all their belongings were burned
with the house, that itself was pro-
tected by a small insurance and some
of the gold and silver money, about
$50, which was in the house, has been
recovered from the ashes. He is en-
ployed as a carpenter at good wages
and his sons and daughter Nellie are
also employed.
Definite arrangements have not been
