CALL MASS MEETING To
SETTLE WATER QUESTION
Mayor Farley and Judge Magee
Will Address North PaSa-
dena Gathering

PASADENA, Sept. 24-That the
water question in the so-called dry
tract will be settled tonight at a
mass meeting to be held in the Grover
Cleveland school building in North
Pasadena is the opinion of those re-
sponsible for calling the meeting.
Mayor Farley and Judge Magee will
address the gathering which all resi-
dents of the affected district are urged
to attend.
It is said the proposition will be for
each property owner to pay an amount
estimated at $40 per lot as a subsidy to
the Pasadena Lake Vineyard Land and
Water company, which has a main
running through the district, as an In
ducement for the company to build a
reservoir near DEVILS Gate and pro-
vide a distributing system which will
furnish a permanent and adequate sup
ply of qua pura for the dry tractors.
Prominent members of the Citizens
league are said to be in favor of the
plan rather than "dig up" for an ap-
peal Of the case against the North
Pasadena Land and Water company
asking that the corporation be re-
strained from shutting off the water
supply Of the district. 1t is argued
r many that if the case is appealed
and won, the supply from that source
would be inadequate anyway, and If
the case is lost the citizens would have
nothing to show for the money In
vested, while with the proposed ar
rangements with the Lake Vineyard
company the supply could be depended
upon when once established.
The subcommittee Of the board OF
trade water committee met last even
ing to outline a plan of campaign to
"provide an adequate supply of water
for the anticipated growth Of the en-
tire city" The members waded
through a mass of suggestions offered
by numerous members of the general
committee, but their conclusions were
not given out for publication. Chair
man F. 2. Twombly of the sub-com-
mittee said last evening: 1--WE are
making good progress and will have
q definite plan to submit to the meet
ing of the general committee next
Thursday evening, but our sugges-
tions Will have nothing of news value
until indorsed, amended or rejected
by the general committee"
Since the open forum held on the
water question Thursday evening in
Los Angeles there seems to have been
a crystalization of sentiment in this
city in favor of consolidating the exist
ing water plants and ascertaining the
amount of water remaining unde-
veloped in the section tributary to
Pasadena before taking definite steps
toward securing Owens river water.

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
EMBEZZLE MENT PENALTY
San Bernardino Judge Compli-
mentS Scott but Sends Him
to San Quentin

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. go. H.
Scott was sentenced to five years in
the state prison at San Quentin by
Judge Oster today following the denial
of the motion for new trial.
Scott lost his last fight for freedom
when his attorney, j. w. Stephenson,
failed to convince the court that
new trial should be granted. The de-
fendant charged that the evidence did
not justify the verdict in that there
was no testimony to show where the
crime was committed. that the jury
was allowed to read newspapers con-
tanning unfavorable reports on the
trial, and also that the jurors re-
cefved evidence elsewhere than in the
jury room. He declared also that the
court erred in the instruction to the
jury and that new evidence had ben
discovered.
The prosecution fled counter affl-
davits to answer those of Scott's at
torney, and the entire afternoon was
consumed arguing the motion.
COMPLIMENT ON DEFENSE
Judge Oster complimented Scott, be-
fore pronouncing sentence, in the man
ner In which he had defended himself
while acting as his own attorney dur
ing the trial. but said that he be-
lleVed MIN guilty, not only OF lno
charge of embezzling diamonds from
Mrs. Anna Marean, but of crimes
against other women.
Scott thanked the court for the cour-
tesies he had received during the trial
and said that after he had served his
sentence he intended to return and
make his home here and prove to the
people that he was innocent.
During the nine months since Scott
was arrested, he tried every way known
to escape the charge. Before entering
court it was necessary to administer
drugs to quiet him, the strain having
been so great that his nerves are
shattered.
