UNABLE TO FIND TRAIL TO
PINECREST
|. N. Van Nuys of Los Angeles and
Members of Family In Party
Which Encounters Difficulties
In Reaching Camp
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1.--After
wandering for a number of hours In
an effort to find its way through the
dense fog which hung about the noun
tatns yesterday and last night, a party
which had started from Arrowhead
hotel early in the afternoon stumbled
into Pinecrest long after nightfall,
having finally again located the trail
to the summit of the range after a
terrible experience among the big pines
and jagged peaks.
The party was composed of Seth
Marshall, president of the Arrowhead
Hotel company, and wife of this city;
I. N. Van Nuys, owner of the hotel
of that name, and wife, of Los An
ge1es; Miss Annis Van Nuys and Mr..
Ridgeway. The members of the party
are guests at the hotel and decided to
walk UP the trail to Pinecrest, plan
ming to arrive there in time for din
ner.
Unable to see but a few feet ahead
of them through the heavy banks of
fog which entirely covered the noun
tains and which had rolled in on them
unawares, the members of the party
were soon wandering aimlessly about
among the big trees, unable to find
their way.
The heavy moisture soon began to
tell on the women of the party and
when finally the fog rose sufficiently
for them to again find their way,
after being lost for a number of hours,
they were almost exhausted and in
that condition stumbled into the camp
at Pinecrest.

RUMORED THAT CHIEF
OF POLICE WILL QUIT
FAVOUR is DISSATISFIED WITH
HIS SALARY
Persistent Reports Spread In Pasa-
dena to Effect Head of Depart
ment Will Retire to
Ranch
Espsclal to The HeraId.l

PASADENA, Sept 1.-Rumors are
afoat in the city hall to the effect that
Pasadena is to lose its chief of police
H. H. Favour, who was promoted from
the ranks of the patrolmen less than
four years ago to his present office, ana
who has entirely reorganized the de-
partment during his career as its head.
He is now at Crater Lake, Ore, on his
vacation and cannot be consulted re-
garding the rumors which suggest II
is his intention to quit the police torce
for the fascinations of ranch life in the
state where he is now hunting ana
fishing.
Chief Favour has for some time been
the owner of a 300-acre ranch In ore
gon. and some six months ago declared
the salary paid him by the city was
not large enough to provide for mis-
needs. At that time he talked OF retlr-
ing to his ranch unless the eouncll
could see its way clear to Increase ms
monthly compensation from $40, tne
present figure, to SITS or $500 mo1ltn'
The fact that many eastern police OIL
ficers visit the city during the course
of a year and are usually entertainer
by the chief of police was one of the
reasons duNdLceu Ny nm ia e'7Niti5 -
raise in salary. Nothing came of this
request. A month ago, when the
budget was in process of compilation,
Chief Favour recommended general
increase in police salaries, fixing his
own at $175.
The commissioners turned down the
entire list Since that time, it is said,
Chief Favour has decided to abandon
police work and retire to his ranch.
Mayor Thomas Farley said tonight
that, while he had heard a rumor to
the effect that the chief of the police
force would resign, he did not have it
before him officially and could not say
whether the report was true or not.
officers of the police department were
also unable to confirm the report from
any talk with the chief, although most
of them have heard more or less dis
torted versions of the story.
