LOS ANGELES MAN SHOT
AND ROBBED BY BANDIT
c. A. Dunbar Reports to Pasadena
Police That He Encountered
Masked Highwaynnan

PASADENA, Jan. 2.-Shortly after 8
o'clock tonight c. A. Dunbar of Los
Angeles reported to the police over the
telephone that he had been held up
and shot by a highwayman at the inter
section of Hammond street and the
Salt Lake tracks. Dunbar said that he
had been wounded in the right shoulder
and Police Surgeon Mccoy was dis
patched to the scene and took the man
to the Pasadena hospital for treatment.
Dunbar states that while he was
walking quietly along a lone robber
whose face was covered by a handker-
chief mask stuck a gun in his face and
ordered him to stand and deliver. He
says that before he could comply the
rObber shot him, and then taking 500
in cash which Dunbar claims to have
had upon his person ran away leaving
the victim to get along as best he could,
Dunbar then walked to a house from
which he telephoned to the police, and
Lieut.. Coping and Sergt. Lonsey were
assigned to the case, which they are
still working upon.
Dunbar's wound is said not to be
dangerous, though it is causing him
muh pain. The spot where he says he
was held up is one of the loneliest in the
northwest section of the city

MONROVIA TO VOTE
ON SEWER BONDS
CITY COUNCIL TO DECIDE IN
MATTER
Previous Bond Election Defeated, but
Since Then Sentiment
Has Undergone a
Change

MONROVIA, Jan. 2.-Whether a
special election shall be called for the
purpose of issuing bonds for the in
stallation Of a sewer system is the
question which the city council will
decide at it's meeting tomorrow even
ing. The city attorney has prepared a
resolution of intention which will be
submitted Monday night 1t is likely
that action will be deferred until the
next meeting of the council Jan
uary is.
A bond election came before the
voters of Monrovia some time ago, but
was defeated, as many believed that
the system could be installed for less
than 100000, the proposed amount.
Others objected to the plans, while
many contended that the city did not
need a sewer system.
1t is believed, however, that public
opinion has since undergone a radical
change and that the bonds will be
carried by a large majority at the
election which undoubtedly will be
held The local press has commented
favorably upon the matter, which is
creating no little comment,

BODY FOUND AMONG
ROCKS ON COAST
San Luis School Teacher Disappeared
December II and Find
May Solve tho
Mystery
Especial to The Herald.1 ]

SANTA MONICA, Jan. "A body,
believed to be that of Miss Celina
Borde, the San Luis Obispo school
teacher who disappeared December II,
has been found among the rocks twen-
ty-seVen miles up the coast near the
Ventura county line. According to the
description of the clothing telephoned
here, Mrs. Rosa Borde, the young wom-
ans sister-in-law, believes it is that
of her missing relative.
When Miss Borde first disappeared it
was believed that she had become lost
in one of the canyons, but later the
theory that she had drowned gained
ground, and in this connection there
has been a strong belief to the effect
that the case is one of suicide.
In case this proves to be the body of
Miss Borde the carrying of it from this
beach northward will arouse consider
able interest. 1t is reported that sew
eral years ago the varying currents
of the channel carried a body north
ward instead of depositing it on the
beach here.

CROWN THEATER STAGE
is DESTROYED BY FIRE

PASADENA, Jan. 2.-Just after the
audience was dismissed at the Crown
theater on West Colorado street this
afternoon fire was discovered back of
the curtain in the little playhouse.
Both the Dayton and Villa street COM
panies Responded to the call and by
hard work confined the blaze to the
small stage. The stage itself, how
ever, was practically destroyed as was
the scenery and other apparatus back
of the footlights.
Had the fire occurred half an hour
earlier the result might have been
quite serious, though the fact that the
damp weather had kept many away
prevented much danger as the house
was not, as usual, filled to its capacity.
The extent of the damage is not yet
estimated

breaches on Marriage Problem

PASADENA, Jan. 2-Dr. Matt S.
pastor of the First Methodist
church, recognized, as did Rev.
Learned of All Saints church, the mar
riage problem in a strong sermon
which he delivered this evening. AS
he views 1t the marriage problem is
largely one of selection. His idea was
to have people properly mated, be-
lieving that this makes for happy mar
riages more than any remedy which
can be devised after marriage.

ACTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES
AROUSES FEELING
Ocean Park Board Does Not Choose
Mrs. George Wright to
Succeed Her Lato
Husband
fsneolal to The Herald. !

OCEAN PARK, Jan. 2.--Feeling of a
rather strong nature has been created
here against the board of school trus-
tees because of action taken in regard
to providing for the janitorship of the
Ocean Park school.
George Wright, after a long siege of
illness, died recently, leaving his wife
and two small boys in straitened
circumstances. His income as janitor
of the school building ceased at once.
1t is said that Mrs. Wright, who per-
formed excellently the duties of her
husband as janitor for months while
he lay sick in bed, was promised the
position made vacant by his death. If
so, the trustees changed their mind,
and it is now decided that w. S. Stod-
dard, present janitor of the city hall,
will get the place. This will leave the
little Wright family entirely without
support.
Tragedy of Politics
According to those who understand
the situation thoroughly, the janitor-
ship controversy is a little one-act
tragedy in petty politics, in which the
destitute widow must play the losing
part, to permit certain campaign prom
lses to be fulfilled.
George washington Foster, present
city trustee, aspires to the city hall
janitorship. Fosters claim for local
prominence dates back several weeks
to a little squabble with President H.
B. Eakins of the board of trustees, in
which the two officials clinched The
affair caused quite a stir at the time,
as it was very unusual for officials of
this beach city to pass the lie and then
jump at one another's throats as wit
nesses declare they did at that time
Stoddard is quoted as saying that he
will not accept the janltorship of the
school house if in so doing he has to
force Mrs. Wright from the position to
one of want. But Stoddard is said to
be helpless politically unless he accepts
the conditions imposed by the powers
that be.
These Voted for Mrs. Wright
Those trustees said to favor the dis
missal of Mrs. Wright from her only
means of support are A. C. Rogers and
Mrs. Force Parker, while Trustee w.
NJ. Kendall is opposed to the plan.
Trustee Rogers said tonight that the
action of the school trustees in re-
gard to Mrs. Wright is final. He said:
Mrs. Parker and myself voted to
place Stoddard in the position. DR..
Kendall voted for Mrs. Wright. We
felt that Mrs. Wright is not strong
enough to do the work at the school.
The only argument in favor of Mrs.
Wright was charity
