been such lavish display of

choice.
Tassels, Pendants, Fringes, and

evident. Beads and Spangles and
anything with a metallic CLINT in its
compound is correct. The Braids
are very beautiful. The beauty and

WAR ON SANTA FE DECLARED
BY Ell MOLlNO RESIDENTS

PASADENA. Dec. 1S.-War has
been declared upon the Santa Fe by
the residents OF exclusive North FL
Molino avenue, and all because the
railway wants to put in a siding be-
tween FL Molino and Elan avenues and
make q miniature freight yard out of
this fashionable residence district.
The company has quietly secured the
property Of a man named Otterman,
which lies just south of the present
main line right OF way and extends
from aVerue to avenue.
This property has a frontage of S5
feet on Elm avenue and 20 feet on lIl
Molino and Widens IN the center to
about IS feet. The road has been try
ing for years to get it ana now has it
and the residents of that section are
going red hot to the city council and
permit to put sidetrack over its own
property.
Just a few months ago a man named
Moore planned to put in a wood and
coal yard in this district and had 10
be bought off, the residents each con-
tributing to a fund Tor this purpose.
Otterman was the only one who did
not put up, and now he has sold out
to the railway and the residents are
uD in arms against him.
A meeting of the property owners
of the district is planned for Monday,
with the object of formulating a pro-
test to the mayor and council at the
council meeting Tuesday, and lively
things are apt to happen next week,
The property is surrounded by fine
homes and it will be alleged that the

WRIGHT FAMILY HAS NO
TRACES OF MISSING SON
Telegram Received Shows Significant
Features and Is Believed to Have
Been Sent by Boy

PASADENA, Dec. 1S.-No trace of
Carlos Wright the boy who disap-
peared after church service last sun
day evening, has been found, but
there is a significant fact in the tele-
gram which the family received some
days ago which is taken to indicate
the youth sent it himself.
The Wright home includes several
lots and as the house is not numbered
there has been some little argument
in the family as to its proper number.
The majority Of the family has con-
tended that it is No. 425 Mountain
View street while Carlos has always
maintained that it was ABS.
In the city directory the number is
given at 425, and yet the telegram
came addressed to Mrs. Wright, at No.
435, the number for which Carlos con-
tended.
Another remarkable feature is the
telegram was addressed to the mother
rather than the head of the family, as
it naturally would have been had a
stranger forwarded it.

MANAGERS WIRES
GETTING CROSSED
MULLIGAN AND K0lNER PASS
THE LIE
Their Statements Do Not Agree in
Regard to Capacity of the Mus
nicipal Electric Light
Plant
Especial to The Herald.1


PASADENA, Dec. 18.-For the tirst
time since the municipal electric light
department was started the "lie dl-
rect" has been exchanged. OF course
there have been polite intimations that
either sone or the other OF the men al
the head respectively Of the Edison or
city departments was not deallnS III
facts. but it has remained for District
Mana gel. NIulligan Of the Edison COM
panv to come forward and accuse
Manager Koiner Of the municipal Hght
plant of telling falsehood.
few DAYS ago Manager koiner an
nounced that the municipal plant Is IN
a position to accept any and all ousl-
ness and could furnish all the electric
current necessary for the entire city
This statement has aroused Manager
Mulligan's ire and Manager Mulligan
nus himself on record as saying that
Manager Koiner lies. Here is what
Mulligan has to say:
What Mulligan Says
"As a matter of fact, the total in
etallation Of the municipal electric
light plant is only 1900 kilowatts, while
the local load of the Edison company
is almost double that amount. Mr.
Koiner's statement that the municipal
plant can carry all of the Pasadena
load has the appearance of dellber-
ate perversion of the facts uttered
with the evident intention of mislead-
ing the citizens Of Pasadena
To say that Manager Koiner was
warm about the collar when shown
this statement this evening is putting
the case all too mildly. IF Manager
Mulligan said anything like that re-
marked Koiner, land I shall ask him
If he did at the first opportunity, he
will have to explain to me what he
meant by saying that l Intentionally
mlslead the people. l am willing to
have any Of my statements compared
with the statements which the Edison
company is issuing.
Meters Mean Economy
"I said what I did advisedly. 1 have
the best OF reason for knowing that
the Edison load before they began
giving fiat rates, in other words, giving
away current, was only 100 kilowatts
The { pacity of the municipal plant Is
1900 kilowatts, so that l knew what
was talking about when / said that
1t could carry the business of the city
OF course, l figured that with meters
the citizens would not be so careless
with lights as they are with the Edi'
son Nat rates.
Il just left Mr.. Mulligan before com
ing home, and I wish that 1 had seer
his statement at that time. l shOulc
have at once taken the matter up witt
him personally. The fact of the mat
ter is that with the city getting two
such contracts from the company as
the Hotel Maryland and the Hote
Raymond a solar plexus blow has
been struck, and they are feeling pret
ty sore over it"
Mr.. Koiner closed his statement by
saying that he would call upon Man
ager Mulligan for an explanation
Monday.
