Arrested In Sailor Garh

LONG BEACH, Sept. 1o.-Relying on
sailor garb to make them strong
with the girls along the Pike, three
young men exchanged their clothing
for sailors uniforms and were cutting
a noticeable dash among the sweet
young feminines along the Walk Of a
Thousand Lights when they were ar
rested. Chief williams and Patrolmar
O'Rourke suspected the young mer
were not genuine jack tars, and so Il
proved when the trio were examined
closely, although at first they claimed
to be seamen.
The men gave their names as Jack
Courtney, Raymond Parker and Daniel
Grylva. Justice Rogers sentenced one
of the trio to thirty days in jail. The
others were released on promises tc
behave. Chief Williams said he would
take the matter up with the federal
authorities, as there is federal as well
as state law against wearing the
United States uniform unlawfully.

Residents of FoothiIl City Discuss
Prospects of Annexation with
Los Angeles

MONROVIA, Sept. 1O.-Much inter-
est has been created in Monrovia over
an article printed in local paper sug-
gesting that before long the foothill
city might become a part of Los An
geles. The article was based on the
fact that Mayor Alexander said re-
Gently in speaking of the future out
look and prospects of Los Angeles:
"The time is not far distant when the
region from the mountains to the sea
and from the San Gabriel river to the
Santa Monica bay SHOULD and will be
under one city government"
Despite the fact that the eonsolida-
ton fever is now at its height, the
majority of Monrovias citizens believe
there is very little likelihood of Mon
rovia becoming a part OF the Angel
city within the next few years.

BOARD OF TRADE TO
RECOMMEND BRIDGE
FIRST STEPS TAKEN TOWARD
GREAT HIGHWAY
President Authorized to Appoint Conn
mittee of Twenty-Five to Form
ulate Plans-Public Sem
tment Favors Idea
rspeclal 70 The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Sept. 10.--At special
meeting of the board of trade held this
morning President Ed Off was author-
lied to appoint a committee OF twenty
five to formulate a recommendation Tor
a gigantic bridge across the Arroyo
Seco, and in so doing the hrst steps
have been taken toward securing
great scenic highway from Los Angeles
to the mountains.
The committee will be vested with
full power to act and will immedlately
devise ways and means to successfully
put through the project. Suocommit-
tees will be appointed to take up the
proposition with the board of super
visors, the highway commission ana
other allied interests.
Since the project has been broached
public sentiment has been strongly IN
favor of the idea, and it is believed
that any opposition that might arise
from unforeseen sources would be im-
mediately swept away.
Highway Described
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Pasadena board of trade
through a communication from the Los
Angeles county highway commission
drafted when c. d. Daggett was a
member and chairman of the board.
The highway is thus described in this
document:
1.-THE alignment of the 307 miles of
road. for the construction of which
bonds were voted July 1908, includes
the Foothill boulevard, which begins at
the Los Angeles county line in Clere-
mont, on the east, and runs to the city
of Santa Monica. 1t passes through
the cities and towns of Lordsburg,
Glendora, Azusa, Monrovia, Arcadia,
Iamanda Park, Pasadena, Glendale,
Tropico Hollywood, Beverly and Saw
telle. It's length in the county is
approximately forty miles, with
total, including the distance In the
cities, of about fifty-siX miles, and Will
cost between 100000 and $450,000
1.-THE only portion of this great boule-
ward which is difficult to manage from
the standpoint of making 1t a success
is where it crosses the Arroyo Seco in
Pasadena at the west end of Colorado
street.
Would Cost About 100000
"such bridge constructed of steel
would probably cost in the neighoor-
hood of $4,000 1t is believed the
property owners and residents OF San
Rafael Heights and Eagle Rock valley
will be benefited to such a degree they
might be willing to make a considerable
contribution toward the cost Of this
bridge. The highway commission would
also be justified in contributing what
ever is actually saved by not having
to improve the road from the Scoville
grade east of where the west end OF
the bridge joins the road.
ut is also possible the Pacific Electric
Railroad company may desire to extend
its line over such a bridge from Pasa-
dena to San Rafael Heights so as to
connect with the present line terminal
ing near the Annandale Country club
house, and If the city of Pasadena is
inclined to grant the necessary fran
chise for so doing the railroad com
pany would be willing to pay a con-
siderable portion of the cost of the
bridge, but as to the wishes of the
Pacific Electric Railroad company We
have Isc information"

The UnpardonabIe Sin

President Taft has refused pardon to
a man convicted of subornation of per-

be the last to appeal for clemency. 1t

at the very roots of the laws power
properly to protect society from crime
and criminals. The sanctity of the
oath is the stronghold in which the
law must intrench itself. That broken
