Pathological laboratory at Riverside,
has arrived in the city and has taken
up headquarters for the coming few
weeks, for the purpose of looking into
the ''brown spot" which is affecting
the oranges.
Redlands has been receiving a
drenching for the past few days, some
thing much needed, both on the gra IN
ranches and in the orange groves. All
day Thursday the rain was steady, at
times being in the nature of a down
pour, the record being 1.63 inches for
the storm.
A small fire was detected late Thurs
day afternoon in the garret of a house
owned by Miss McClelland, corner
Palm avenue and Center street. Ow-
ing to quick response of the fire de-
partment the fire gained small head
way and damage to the extent Of 500
was done. Defective wiring was given
as the cause of the blaze.
William Harting, who was arrested
one evening this week, was sentenced
yesterday by Judge Clifford to serve
ninety days at the county Jail. Harting

ANOTHER AMENDED
COMPLAINT IS FILED
Woman Who Claims to Have Been
Married to Man Now Dead
Sues to Recover
$500

SANTA ANA, Jan. 22.-Another
chapter in the French-Carpenter case
was made public today when answer
to the second amended complaint in
Mrs. Fannie Nj. French's suit to col
lecL $500 alleged to be due from the
estate of w. r. Carpenter, former
county school superintendent of Orange
county, was filed.
Plaintiff is the widow of the Rev. J.
French, at one time pastor of a church
in Fullerton, and when Carpenter sud
denly resigned his position and left
here, she went with him to Idaho,
where a few months later Carpenter
died. News of Carpenters death was
forwarded mere by Mrs. French, WHIP
later announced she and Carpenter had
been married, and when Carpenter S
body was brought here for burial she
accompanied it.
Carpenters first wife was appointed
administrative of the estate and later
Mrs. French began suit to collect $500,
alleged to have been loaned Carpenter
BY her at various times, and while the
complaint has been amended twice, the
only point of special interest is that
the second amendment specifies that
plaintiff has acquired another husband,
Charles c. Chaffee, who is now joined
with her in the suit to recover.
Coincident with the filing of defend
claims against the estate aggregating
$1,000, these being held in the sum of
S400 each by the Home Savings bank,
II. A. Zimmerman and Mrs. III. Alice
Carpenter, all of Santa Ana.
The Carpenter estate is appraised at
10000, and for the most part consists
of a walnut grove at Placentia.

LOSES OAR, FALLS IN

Occupant of Boat with Victim Unable

Lies in San Pedro
Waters

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 22.-WhiIe rowing
in skiff across the inner harbor to
East San Pedro last evening, Harry
Bleeker, fisherman in the employ of
the California Fish company, fell
overheard and was drowned.
The only witness to the tragedy is
duncan Baxter, sailmaker of East
San Pedro, who was sitting in the stern
of the boat when the accident occurred.
Both men are alleged to have been
in an intoxicated condition and when
Bleeker lost an oar he fell overheard
in an endeavor to recover it. Baxter
was unable to render him assistance
and the fisherman, being incumbered
by his oilskins and heavy rubber boots,
quickly sank from sight
The ferrymen came out in response
to cries of Baxter, but failed to find
the body, nor has it since been re-
covered.
Blocker was As years old and unmar-
ried, and has lived here for twenty-five

TRUSTEES MUST
ORDER ELECTION
COURT REFUSES TO WITH
DRAW MANDATE
ADVOCATES OF CONSOLIDATION
WIN VICTORY
Obstacle to Voters Of San Pedro
Passing on Question Removed
and Annexation May
Result

SAN PEDRO, Jan. PA large num-
per OF citizens was present tl4 5 morn
ing at the district court of appeals at
Los Angeles to listen to the arguments
OF the attorneys on motion made last
Monday by j. W. Mckinley, asking
the court to withdraw the peremptory
writ of mandate issued January II.
which ordered the city trustees to eau
at once an election for exclusion of
territory and. having held said election
and having made canvass of the
votes to report back to the court Feb
ruary 26
Judge Mckinley, who represents tie
defendant trustees, argued today the
law speclf1es that the peremptory writ
IS not effective for thirty days, but
Judge Call, attorney for the petition-
ers, insisted that between parties the
order was final at all times and, as the
appellate court is always open for
business, the defendants could at any
time, IN the thirty days, apply for a
review or rehearing before the su-
preme court. He showed that in the
issuance of an emergency writ the
court would be paralyzed if it was the
intent to stay the execution for thirty
days.
After considerable discussion between 4
the attorneys, and also the three JUS
hces, the court took the matter under
Rdvisement, and this afternoon rem
dered decision denying the motion of
Judge Mckinley to recall the writ Of
mandate.
In the meantime the trustees have is
sued call for the election for May II
and. although served with the peremp-
tory writ last Saturday. no move yet
mas been made to comply with the or
der of the court. Apparently fearing
to hold the regular meeting Tuesday
afternoon, three of the trustees failed
to appear and as there was no quorum
no meeting was held.
All efforts to gain delay having
proved useless, the negligent trustees
must issue new call for the election
at once and be in a position to report
to the court February 26.
1t looks as if the trustees are anxious
to spend the taxpayers money, for,
after the peremptory order was issued
January IA, the election call for May II
was published, January Is, and again
today. Four weeks is the legal time
for the publication of an election ordi-
nance, and, as the trustees saw fit to
put the election off until May IL. MANY
taxpayers wonder why the publication
was hastened. A new ordinance now
will have to be adopted and published.

PASADENA BURGLAR
HAS PECULIAR TASTE
STEALS NOTHING BUT PENNIES
AND COOKIES
OVerIooks Many Things of Reel Value.
Entere Two Houses by Cutting
Wire from Screened
Windows

PASADENA, Jan. 22.-The humorous
burglar of North Pasadena broke loose
again last night, entering and ransack-
ing two houses where he passed over
all the articles of value and contented
himself with stealing 40 cents in one
place and a plate of cookies in the
other.
The houses entered were those of
Samuel E. AIin of $50 Morton street
and B. G. Doane of 80 Mountain street.
In the first, 40 cents was taken from q
purse, and in the second the plate of
cookies disappeared.
Both houses were entered while the
families were at home, and in the same
manner, by cutting out the wire from
a screened window. For sheer audaci-
ty, the police think the criminal takes
all prizes, for the manner of gaining
entrance renders him liable to just as
long a term in prison as though he
stole, after gaining an entrance, money
and jewels worth a small fortune.
