COUNCIL VOTES MONEY FOR
FAMILY OF DEAD LINEMAN
Sum Not Given as Settlement of Claim
Against the City, but as
Gratuity

PASADENA, Aug. 20.-At a special
meeting this afternoon the city council
decided to pay $500 to Mrs. j. w.
Claudin, whose husband, an employe OF
the3Snunicipal light department, was
eleC@rocuted while at work last week.
It Is distinctly stated that the council
does not pay this as a settlement, or
because the family has any legal claim
on the city; for the city attorney has
stated that the city is absolutely free
from blame for the DEATH
The Claudin family is in destitute
Gil circumstances, however, and the coun-
Gil wanted to furnish enough moaey to
paw the funeral expenses and give the
widow and her infant son a little bal
ance.
1t was suggested the widow might
use the $500 to hire an attorney for a
damage suit against the city. This
was not deemed likely however, since
the coroner held that the Edison COM
pany was responsible for the death,
having sent a high voltage of cleo
tricity through an improperly insulated
wire.
Because Of Clandins death, Superin-
tendent Koiner Of the municipal light
department recommended to the coun-
ell this afternoon that it pass an Ordi-
nance providing that all high tension
wires must be insulated, and that wires
carving more than 10000 volts must be
at least sixty feet above the street,
unless under ground.
The council looks with favor on some
such action, and referred it to the city
attorney and its electric light COM
mittee.

Find Long Butcher Knife with Which
He Tried to Stab Mexican's
Wife

LONG BEACH, Aug. 90 After
searching several hours last night and
again today Constable H. NJ. Wilson
and Deputy Constable Casin have
found no trace of the Mexican laborer
who yesterday stole $50 from Mexican
woman living near Los Alamitos, tried
to stab her with a knife and escaped
after attempting an assault.
The officials, who give the woman's
name as either Mrs. Dolores Arequippe
or Mrs Dolorez Martinez, say they do
not know the name Of the Mexican, but
learned he lived in a tent with boy
and they believe he will return because
of his attachment for the lad.
Deputy Constable Cason brought to
town a long buther knife with which
he said the man tried to stab the
woman. The sharp blade was turned
aside from her heart by striking a
corset steel and only cut her dress.
The $50 stolen had been received as

WILL REMAIN IN SCHOOL

PASADENA, Aug. 2O.-Despite siren
uous objections of City Plumbing In
spector A. c. Shaver, the council has
decided to let the old-fashioned latrine
toilets Of the Mckinley school remain
in place.
Last summer the inspector called at
tcntion to the fact that the board Of
education was violating the law by
this style of plumbing, The council re-
fused to back him up, and gave the
board one year to replace the plumb
ing, because the board said 1t had no
money at that time.
The year has passed and the board
members said today they wanted TO
spend their money for other purposes
The city health officer, Dr. Stanley p.
Black, testified that the latrines We're
being kept in sanitary condition, and
the council voted that the board should
be allowed to keep them in just as long
as the city health officer approved OF
them.
This style Of plumbing has been ban
ished in nearly every city of any size
for many years.

BELIEVE SKELETON FOUND IS
THAT OF RAILROAD WORKER

REDONDO BEACH, Aug. 20.-The
officials who are working on the mys-
terry of the man whose skeleton was
found on the south bluffs yesterday by
NJ. C. Markham, believe the man was
a railroad worker pieces of waste and
small tools having been found in the
pockets of his clothing, together with
a clipping setting forth the resignation
of Superintendent Ingram of the South
ern Pacific system.
The bones were gathered together
today by Undertaken Cate of this city
and taken to the morgue to await the
action of the coroner. 1t is thought
that the presence of coyotes on the
bluff is accountable for the fact that
the bones of the body were scattered
over a space of 100 feet in diameter.

George H. Peck Resents Insinuations
That San Pedroans Are Trying to
Get Exorbitant Gum from
Uncle Sam
[sreeIal to The Herald.l

SAN PEDRO. Aug 20.-The question
of buying land for the proposed sites
for the United States government
fortifications at Point Fermin is asi-
tating a good many of the small
property holders who have purchased
land in that portion of the city.
With the larger holders, like r. d..
Sepulvada and George IL. Peck, the
situation is different. Mr. Peck said
today: Il am somewhat surprised at
the attitude assumed by some of the
newspapers in their reports of the Wis
its here of army boards and other high
officials of the government. Generally,
the idea is advanced that we are try
ing to hold up the government, and
won't sell our land except at eX-
horbitant prices. AS far as my land is
concerned, l have never been APP
preached. l do not know what land
they want or what price they are ready
to give me, but it is certainly unfair
to say that l am holding UP the gov
ernment when l have never had any
conference with it or any one else on
the subject.
"Of course $250,OOO will not buy 100
acres of land that is cut up into lots
and sold to private parties as lots. |
have some land that can be purchased
at $500 per acre, but some of 1t is
selling today for considerably more
than that. / am ready to talk business
with the government or any one else
on the subject but l think we are
misjudged when the statement Is made
that we are holding for big price"

MADEIRA SUIT WILL
SETTLE OLD FIGHT
OTHER CITIES TO ASSIST IN
DEFENSE
Private Company Seeks to Prevent
Town from Operating Municipal
Water Plant-Edson Con-
Germs Interested
Especial to The Herald ]

PASADENA, Aug. 20.--As Pasadena's
fight against the Edison Electric com
pany has been transferred practically
to the city of MADEIRA, City Attorney ].
Perry Wood has sent to the city attor-
ney of that city all the material he has
on hand bearing on the principle in
Volved-Whether a municipality may
compete in business with a private cor
poration.
The Edison Electric company tried
to en1oin the city Of Pasadena from
starting a municipal light plant. The
case was fought through the courts
preme court. When Wood was in
Washington to represent the city, the
Edison attorneys suddenly got the suit
dismissed, in order that they might
begin on a new tack, where they would
have more chance. If the supreme
court had ruled against them they
would have had no further recourse.
The MADEIRA Water company has now
begun suit against the city of MADEIRA,
on exactly the same proposition. 1t Is
said to be backed by the Spring Valley
company, which would like to kill San
Francisco's Hetch-Hetchy plan.
If the MADEIRA Water company should
win it's case it would mean that Pasa-
dena would have to buy out the Edison
company or drop the municipal light
ing plant. 1t would mean that Los
Angeles could sell no power from Ow-
ems river unless it bought out the Edf-
son and other power companies; and
1t would mean that San Francisco could
not have municipal water unless it
bought out the Spring Valley company.
Accordingly, practically every muni-
cipality in the state is lining up with
MADEIRA, while all the corporations of
the state are getting behind the Ma
dera Water company. City Attorney
Wood of Pasadena is probably the best
informed man in the state on the sub
tect, because he fought the Edison
company. He has sent all his briefs
to MADEIRA Every part of the state
will watch the long and desperate
struggle with intense interest.
