some quarters that the "citizens' COM
mittee' is composed of the same peo-
pie who instituted the fight against
labor here two years ago under the
title of the Citizens alliance.
After the personal work done at Sac
ramento by the men from both Los
Angeles and San Pedro in the interest
of fair consolidation bill, no doubt is
expressed here that the law makers are
familiar with the facts in the case and
know that a majority of the voters of
San Pedro want the original Leeds
Mccartney bill; but, as Senator Saw
age was careful to keep his committee
of senators who were here a week ago
from hearing anything except from the
ti-consolidationists, it is believed the
mammoth petition, which has been
signed by a majority of the voters here.
when presented by Senator Mccartney
on his return to Sacramento next week.
will convince any Of the doubters that
the people here mean business and are
not in favor of the twO-thirds or the
SO per cent amendments, or any other
blocking compromises.

HOLDS THAT CHARTER
AMENDMENTS PASSED
STATE MEASURE DISCOVERED
BY LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Majority and Not Three-fifths Vote
Required-city Clerk and Treas
urer's Salaries Will Be
Increased
Especial to The. Hera1d.1

PASADENA, Feb. 27.-The city legal
department, having discovered a state
constitutional amendment, passed since
the charter of Pasadena was adopted,
it was today decided that several of the
charter amendments which, it was be-
heved, were defeated under the old
style Of counting the votes are in force,
having been passed, although in some
cases by a narrow margin.
The understanding has been that it
required a three-fifths vote to pass a
charter amendment. The city's legal
department said this morning that only
a majority vote was required, and ac-
cording to this two amendments were
passed, those raising the salary of the
city clerk from $1,000 to $500 and of the
treasurer from $1,000 to $1200
The proposed increase of the mayor S
salary from $500 to $4,000 did not pass.
Neither did a much desired amendment
allowing the. city council, if it deemed
the course more feasible, to have the
city taxes assessed by the county.
An amendment which lengthens the
life Of street railway franchises front
twenty to thirty years carried by a
good majority.
There were only 1881 votes cast
throughout the city, very poor show
ing by comparison with the number Of
registered voters.

ANXIOUS TO UNITE
WITH LOS ANGELES
SAN PEDRANS WISH TO ANNEX
CITY AS A WHOLE
If Leede=M cCartney Bill Fails to Pass
Voters Will Cast Ballots to
Exclude Part of Ter
ritory

SAN PEDRO, Feb. 27.-Interest in
the prospects for an early vote on the
question of consolidation with Los An
geles continues unabated. The voters
here are anxious to have the whole city
unite with Los Angeles at one election,
which will be possible if the Leeds Nc
Cartney consolidation bill passes the
legislature before March 10, the date of
the exclusion election.
The reports from Sacramento seem to
Indicate the matter will be settled to
week, when the amendments will come
week, whenthe amendments will come
up in the senate for vote.
Should the railroad machine succeed
in passing these amendments the peo-
pie here will vote to exclude the terri
tory north of Fifth street and annex
to Los Angeles piecemeaI. Every voter
in San Pedro realizes that the amend
ments requiring a two-t thirds vote, af-
ter having obtained a majority of the
signatures of voters of each city to the
election petition, is only one method by
which it is aimed to kill the consolida-
tiOn movement, and the slogan here is
fair play, by majority vote
Voters here have expressed them
selves often on the subject, and they
do not propose to have one-third of the
voters, which would include corpora
tion men, city office holders and the
floating vote, controlled by the saloons
and the allied interests keep back
progress Of the city and the great har-
Dor which they know will never amount
to anything commercially as long as it
is controlled. absolutely by the rail-
roads.
The ti-consolidationist, anti-im-
provement element is putting out cam
paign buttons reading: Il am against
exclusion" These are being furnished
by a new organization. known as the
''citizens' committee which is said to
be made up almost entirely Of city Of
ffcials and employees who fear the loss
of their jobs, and others more or less
under the influence of the railroads.
It is noted here today that the first
buttons put out and practically all of
them issued during the dav were worn
by this class of citizens and bartenders
and saloon men.
The workingmen are not taking the
circular letters issued by the "citjzens'
committee with very good grace. Many

tions thereon, it being intimated in

such a step, and, while the remarks
may have been made in jest, some OF
the liberal element fear that, be-
cause of Trustee Bassett's stand in
favor of liquor licenses, some fanatics
on the other side may have seriously
considered the use Of dynamite.
