EXPECTS TO GET HORSE
SHOW FOR NEXT WINTER
ISOLATION Speaks EncouragingIy.
Secretary Is interviewing
Breeders and Owners

PASADENA, Jan. 1-Presdent Fred z. Will
cox of the Southern California Horse Show as
ISOLATION stated this evening that there was
every prospect that there would be a horse
show in Pasadena this coming winter. Secre-
tary E. D. Neff is now in the north interview
ing breeders and owners, and in a letter just
received he states that he is receiving every
encouragement On his final rport, to be made
in few days, will depend the decision of the
directors.
There has not been show in Pasadena for
some years, though the last was a great sue
cess. 1t was agreed with Los Angeles horse
owners when the last given in Pasadena
that the following year the show would be
held in Los Angeles, but for some reason the
latter city cooled off and did not hold one when
its turn came, and Pasadena followed that ex-
ample last winter. 1t is now proposed to re-
Vive the entertainment
If the show is held this year it will cover
a period of three days and undoubtedly will be
held at Tournament park 1t probably would
take place next April and, as in the past
would make Pasadena the Mecca for society for
a few days at least
Mr.. Wilcox, who is looking after the local
end of the matter, states that there never
have been more high class horses in this city
than at present, and show would prove a
great success.

LONG BEACH, Jan. 14ZTwo burg

the same men, it is believed, were
frightened away from the residence of

The men appeared at the window of
the bedroom of Mr.. and Mrs. Hirsch.
When the postmaster called to them
the men stepped away, but a moment
later returned. Mrs Hirsch was stand
ing close to the window and fired at
them. Her husband did not know she
had secured a revolver from a bureau
drawer, and feared that one of the

MAKES BOLD ATTEMPT TO
STEAL BUSCH AUTOMOBILE
WouId=Be MaIefactor Proposes to
Take 1t to Garage for Repairs, but
Chauffeur Interposes Siren
uous Objection

PASADENA, Jan. 14-One of the
boldest attempts to steal an automobile
ever made in Pasadena failed last night
when an unknown man tried to capture
one of the great automobiles belonging
to Adolphus Busch, the millionaire
brewer who has his winter home here.
A man called last night at the Busch
garage and said he was sent by the
Union garage to get one of the Busch
machines and take it to the shop for
repairs. AS the machines happened to
have been repaired yesterday afternoon
the Busch chauffeur refused the de-
mand, and the man went to the Busch
house and tried to bluff the butler into
giving him an order. This failing, he
took his departure.
The two Busch cars are among the
finest in Southern California, and it
seemingly would have been impossible
for the man to have disposed of one
even if he had taken it.
