TRUSTEES CITED FOR
CONTEMPT, IS DESIRE
SOME SAN PEDRANS THINK
BOARD WAS UNJUST
Notwithstanding Election in Aid of
Consolidation Finally Is Called,
Belief Expressed Delay
Merits Penalty

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 27.-Much salts
faction is expressed here today by citi-
zens who favor consolidation with Los
Angeles over the action of the board
OF trustees yesterday when the cleo
tion for the exclusion of the northern
part of the city was called for March
10 instead of May II.
There are those here, however, who
say they believe in fair play and who
state as the trustees were so dilatory
in complying with the wishes of a
larges mass of voters, as expressed by
the mammoth petition of November IL,
and only complied with the wishes OF
the people after an order of court was
obtained, they still should be compelled
TO appear before the appellate court
for contempt because they delayed to
comply with the peremptory writ for
ten days after the order had been
served on them.
One of these radicals stated today
this delay of the trustees would cause
the taxpayers of the northern portion
large amount Of unnecessary expense
for, said he: IF they had met as usual
January 19 and not Intentionally stayed
away from the meeting the election
could have been called in February
and our property have been out in the
county the first Monday in March. But
they have delayed matters by every
conceivable means and now want our
tax money, even though they cannot
keep us and our property
The tactics of tire trustees have had
the effect to make the consolidationists
more determined than ever and the
prediction is now made when the votes
are counted March 10 there will be a
far greater showing against the trus-
rees and the Interests" which are
looking after selfish ends at the ex-
pense of the prosperity of the city and
it's citizens than there would have
been had the people been given since
last November fair deal on the cleo
+iOn.

San Rernardino Items

SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. 27.-Burglars
last night entered the Merchants pool room
and rif1ed the cash register, getting but 81
in cash for their trouble. There is an cpl
demic OF petty thieving about the city. the
officers being kept busy chasing up the
operations of hoboes and others who seem
to have struck the town suddenly.
Negotiations are under way between local
baseball men and the management of the
Portland Pacific Coast league team by which
it is expected that team will come here for
training this spring. They will bring about
twenty men here and will be given the free
use of the Santa Fe baseball park.
Another freak rain visited this section to-
day, beginning about 1 o'clock this morn
ing. Fully three-fourths of inch was
added to the total for the season, which is
now about eleven inches, which is far
ahead of the average for this valley at this
time in the year.

WISH CITY OFFICERS
TO Be NON-PARTISAN
TO HOLD CONVENTION WITH
OUT PARTY LINES
Prominent Pasadenans Believe Best
Interests of the City Will Be
Served by Cutting Out
Political Creeds

PASADENA, Jan. 27.-Backed by
trade, a movement has been started to
have a non-partisan political conven-
ton to nominate candidates for mayor,
for four vacancies in the city council,
for city treasurer and a city clerk.
In the past. several municipal contests
it was the custom for a number of men
to meet in private somewhere and
frame up a ticket. This resulted in
the so-called Waterhouse and PUSH
parties, and the two were singularly
regular in alternating in control. Now
1t is proposed, for the good of the city
in general to have the nominating
done in public by an informal con-
ventiOn and outside Of national party
lines.
AS it stands at the present time, any
thing the so-called push" faction IA
vors, the sO-called Waterhouse faction
opposes, and more or less vice versa.
AS there are several important mu-
nicipal issues it is thought if, for
once, factional differences could be
buried at the municipal election after
it is over it might be possible to have
a practically undisputed bond election
for the purchase of a municipal water
system, the improvement Of Tourna-
ment park and the construction Of a
garbage incinerator, all three of which
measures were advocated by the
push" in 1908 and defeated by the
Waterhouse element
The councilmen retiring are Barnes,
Braley, Crandall and Cattell, and
there has been almost no talk of sue
cessors for them. although the election
is but few weeks off. It is thought
if the plan of precinct caucuses to Sc
lect delegates, the delegates to gather
in open convention and nominate, Is
carried out, Pasadena may have the
unique experience of a city election
without bitterness.

PASADENA'S CHIEF OF POLICE
DOUBLES NIGHT PATROLMEN

PASADENA, Jan. 27.-Chief Of Po-
lice Favour has decided, because of the
recent holdups and attempted bur-
glaries in Pasadena, to double the
night force, and this evening the ad-
ditional men went on duty. This
means that every corner of the city
will be policed as never before during
the hours of darkness, and the chief
has instructed the squad to arrest any
suspicious persons found on the street
after dark.
Citizens are urged to telephone to the
police any attempt at burglary of their
premises or the presence of any sus-
picfous characters near their homes,
and as every officer has to call UP CEN
trail station every half hour it is
thought the so-called carnival of crime
will be checked suddenly, so far as
Pasadena is concerned.

ELks HARVEST FESTIVAL MAY
CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT

PASADENA, Jan. 27-Unless be-
cause of the rain it is decided to con-
tinue the Elk harvest festival for an
other night, the affair will close with
the gathering tonight, which packed
Elk hall full to overfiowing. The
feature of the evening was the songs
by the Glee club, while Muller and
Kohler did stunts which brought forth
laughter and applause.
AS usual, the various games and
devices for abstracting coins from re-
luctant pockets did a rushing business,
and the proceeds probably were larger
than on either of the two previous
evenings. All the money will be used
in entertaining the Elks during the
grand lodge session in Los Angeles
next July.
The awarding of prizes, thousands of
chances having been sold in Pasadena,
will take place next Saturday and Mon
