REVIVE PLAN TO BUILD
NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Pasadena Rapid Transit Com
pany Calls Meeting to Vote
on Issuance of Bonds

PASADENA, Aug. 2s.-The Pasadena
Rapid Transit company's project TO
construct an electric railway between
this city and Los Angeles on a direct
line without grade crossings and prom
Using a twelVe-minute service between
the business centers of the two cltles
has been revived through the mailing
of notices to the stockholders of the
company calling a meeting for october
is to vote on the proposition of Is
suing $3,000,000 bonds to purchase
rights of way, depot sites, car house
sites, terminals and other real prop
erty and for building railway be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles, IN
Guiding bridges, tunnels, power houses,
stations and other structures, and for
purchasing rolling stock, motors and
machinery of every kind.
The bonds will run for 90 years, will
bear 5 per cent interest, and the de-
nomination is to be left to the direc-
tors. The Indebtedness Is to be Sc
cured by a trust deed of all the prop
erty Of the corporation. The circular
letter accompanying the notices says:
1.-THE plan providing for the compile
tion of the right of way from the pro-
ceeds of the sales of stock seems to be
assured and the directors feel war
ranted in saying that the progress be-
ing made is most satisfactory"
PRESIDENT Horace NJ. OODUIlS VI IilC
Rapid Transit company could not be
reached last evening, but 1t is believed
by those claiming to be familiar with
affairs of the company that he is plan
ming to push the work on the proposed
road to rapid completion. For the
purpose of furthering the project Mr..
Dobbins made an extended trip to the
east following the annual meeting of
the board of trade on March %, when
the members declined to accept the
report of the Cary committee of five
which recommended that the board
of trade indorse the rapid transit
project which promised scent fare
between Pasadena and Los Angeles in
addition to the 12-minute service, If
the board would assist in disposing of
$5OO,00O worth of stock for the corpora
ton.
At that time 1t was stated the OBJ
ject of the company was to keep as
much of the stock in Pasadena as pos
sible in order that the dividends could
revert to local channels. and 1t was
inferred following the refusal of the
board of trade to accept the offer that
an eastern market would be found.
1t is thought that Mr.. Dobbins while
in the east arranged for the sale of the
proposed $3,000000 bond issue in case
it is voted by the stockholders.

OLD CHECK GIVES CLEW
To MURDER MYSTERY
Order for Money Stolen from the
Slain Man Found Nine
Years After Crime

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 27.-The
drawn nine years ago by H. D. Blakes-
lee, now public administrators of San
Bernardino county, and indorsed by the
payee, but never presented for pay
ment, is furnishing the clew that may
result in the unraveling of one of the
most mysterious and brutal murders
in the criminal records of the county.
The check, which for nine years had
been unpaid, was drawn a few days
before an old junk dealer named
Kletzing was found dead in his store
at Upland. It was O plain case OF
brutal murder with robbery as the
motive. The old mans head had been
beaten to pulp and valuable collec-
ton of old coins and checks stolen.
FIND CHECK IN GARDEN
For weeks the officers searched for
clew to the murder, but none was
found and the case was all but forgot
ten until Wednesday when member
of the firm of Haughey Brothers, mer-
chants of Upland, accidentally came
across the check in his tomato patch,
less than half mile from Blakeslee's s
old blacksmith shop where 1t had been
written nine years before, and close TO
the scene of the murder.
The check had been given to the old
junk dealer by the payee the day be-
fore the former was found murdered.
1t is now presumed that the old man
placed 1t with his collection of checks
which was carried off by the thief, who
cruelty put to death Kletzing when dis
covered in the store. The check was
as fresh as the day 1t was written, and
had evidently been thrown away
and blown into the garden by the
wind.
The officers are investigating the
case and believe that the murderer
has lived in Upland, the scene of the
murder, for the nine years following
his act. Some years ago laborers, while
digging a sewer, found watch and
other trinkets supposed to have be-
longed to the murdered man.

ROTARY CLUB INSPECTS
WORK DONE At HARBOR
ORGANIZATION of Business Men
Visits Scenes of Progress
at San Pedro

SAN PEDRO, Aug. PA large part
of the membership of the Rotary CLUB
of Los Angeles arrived this afternoon
in two special cars over the Pacific
Electric and boarded the Banning tug
Warrior for a trip about the harbor.
The party included many of the lead
ing business men of Los Angeles. The
Rotary club admits to membership but
one representative of each line of bus
mess. The spirit of reciprocity Is
strong In the club and each member
is q booster for the business Of all
the other members.
But It was evident today that So
ciability and good fellowship are not
forgotten in the life of the club. c. n.
Hill of the Braun-Hill Chemical COM
pany, the president of the club, ad-
mitted that he had his eye out for a
site for warehouse, but he put In
most of his time keeping the crowd In
q good humor. VIII stephens, the gen.
ial secretary, with the assistance OF
Capt. Louis Hansen, added much to
the gayety of the occasion by his de-
scrIption of the points of interest on
the trip.
The turning basin in the inner har-
Dor, recently completed to a depth OF
twenty-five feet, was first visited. Here
the visitors got & good view Of Nor
mon island, where about 100 acres OF
recently filled land are now available
for sites for warehouses and manu-
factories.
VISIT OUTER HARBOR
Returning the tug proceeded to the
outer harbor, putting In at the South
ern Pacific slip on the way. AT the
Minor fill, where the Union Oil COM
pany is financing the reclamation of 15S
acres of submerged land and imprev-
ing It with concrete wharves and mod
ern shipping facilities, the party left
the tug at the first wharf ever built
in the outer harbor and boarded train
of fiat cars provided by Superinten-
dent Gervaise Purcell. They were ta-
ken over the long trestle on the east
channel over a mile of uncompleted
wharf. Returning the work of MAX
ing concrete piles was inspected While
Secretary Stephens explained the eX-
tent and nature of the improvements.
It is expected that the wharf on the
east channel will be completed by the
first Of the year and that deep water
steamers will be docking there with
merchandise from the Atlantic for Los
Angeles dealers.
After the inspection of the work on
the Minor fill the party was enter
tanned at the South Coast Yacht club
at the commodious clubhouse overlook
ing the outer harbor from the nigh
bluff surrounding 1t. The special cars
were waiting here to take the visitors
home.
