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 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 number of men
to meet in private somewhere and
frame up 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 fa-
vors, the so-called Waterhouse faction
opposes, and more or less vice versa.
AS there are several important mu-
n1cipal issues it is thought if, for
once, factional differences could be
buried at the municipal election after
1t is over it might be possible to have
a practically undisputed bond election
for the purchase of 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. 1t 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

BRIEF NEWS FROM COLLEGE
CIRCLES AT CLAREMONT

CLAREMONT, Jan. 27-Favorable
comment by the student body generally
has been produced by the nomination
of William Horace Day for the college
presidency by the trustees. There has
been some feeling of suspense as to
who the nominee might be, owing to a
persistent rumor that an eastern edu-
Gator whose identity was not estab-
lished would be asked to fill the place
left vacant by President Gates. There
is a possibility some action in regard
to the matter will be taken at the reg
ulLr meeting of the student body
Thursday morning.
The annual athletic show" will be
given next Saturday evening. The
sentation Of Arthur Pinero's farce,
1.-The Magistrate" Coach Stanton,
who has had theatrical experience, will
stage the play and will also enact the
role of Mr.. PoSket, magistrate Of the
Mulberry street police court. Vein
land, varsity center, Gore and Parker,
varsity ends; Clark, guard, and Sloane
Of the track team, will be in the cast.
The play will be an ambitious attempt
for college student body, as sixteen
characters appear in the cast. Feb
ruary the glee club will give It's
regular home contest.
The preparatory school will get an
early start at track work soon after
the home field meet, January 80, and
will hold a dual meet with Redlands
high school. Although the date has
not been fixed definitely it probably
will be February 13. Subsequently
dates will follow in quick succession,
if the plans of Manager Heinrich turn
out WELL With Merriam in the high
jump, Spurgeon in the dashes, Barnes
in the broad jump and other athletes
of promising possibilities, the Pomona
youngsters will put in a strong bid for
the championship of Southern Cali
fornia.
With the withdrawal of '09 from the
home field meet, the race between the
remainder Of the classes and the preps
for the institutional championship will
be unusually keen. The seniors have
some stars, but not a star team. The
withdrawal of "Davy' Davenport from
the home meet left Jones and Parsons
in the runs and Weinland in the
weights.
Another big loss is that of Jones,
who is forced out of athletics by the
strenuosity of his senior work. The
remainder determined then to leave
the field clear.

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

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 27.-Much salts
factlon 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
t1on 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 the 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-
tees and the Interests" which are
looking after selfish ends at the ex-
pense of the prosperity of the city and
its citizens than there would have
been had the people been given since
last November a fair deal on the elec-
zion

PASADENA, Jan. 27-Unless be-
cause of the rain it is decided to con-

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

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

PASADENA'S CHIEF OF POLICE
DOUBLES NIGHT PATROLMEN

PASADENA, Jan. 27.-Chief of Po-
lice Favour has decided, because of the
recent holdups and y 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.
