Anton Lang to Crafty One of His
Life Ambitions

BERLIN, Oct. 23.-Anton Lang, the
potter of Oberammergau, world famed
as the Christus of the passion Play"
is shortly to crafty one of his life
ambitions by a visit to the Holy Land.
He and his wife have been invited to
accompany an American tourist party
as guests of honor, and Lang has en-
braced the opportunity with delight.
He has been away from his native
highlands in the Bavarian mountains
only twice before-once when he made
a pilgrimage to Pope Leo XIII and
little later when he visited England
as the guest of British admirers

reputation as one of the worlds really
great actors by his Interpretation of

lowered head and shoulders over all
the rest of the Oberammergau cast.
Speaking of his forthcoming tour of
the Holy Land, Herr Lang said: "I
know that the Holy Land of Jesus
era no longer exists. I am familiar
with the painful and distressing strug-
gle which rival sects have waged
around the holy sepulcher and
realize that modern improvements
have done much to change the physi-
ognomy of Jerusalem and the other
holy places. But / am sure that per-
sonaI contact with the scenes in which
1 have lived in spirit since childhood
will be of everlasting profit and salts

MONTREAL, Oct. 2S.-The final
stage of the remarkable journey Of
Alan R. Hawley, pilot, and Augustus
Post, aid, of the victorious balloon
America II into Canada ended today
with their arrival in Montreal. During
the night a sleet and snowstorm swept
over central Quebec, and the aero
nauts' final glimpse of the wooded
hills gave them q blank and dreary
picture suggestive of a fate that might
have oYertaken them had they been
less successful in managing the big

clared Mr.. Post, but as it was we
went a little too far"
BOTTLE OF PEROXIDE
1--WE were we'll eqipped when we
left the America H. said Mr.. HaWley.
1--WE took three blankets, three cans
Of soup, a small saw, instruments,
arms, ammunition, six POUNDS or DIS
cult and a bottle of peroxide"
"Peroxide! For what?" asked a re-
porter.
"Wen. it is a secret" broke in Mr..
Post, but my friend Hawley is very
keen on natural history and is always
on the lookout for freaks for the Bronx
zoo. We thought if we could catch a
muskrat dark in color what we had In
the bottle might transform 1t INTO
freak of nature from the Canadian
wilds."
cat the edge of a small lake just be-
fore we landed we saw an Indian trap
per on the shore with a gum" con-
tinued Mr.. Hawley
"As the shadow of the balloon crept
across the water he looked up ana
then threw himself on his face. We
shouted, but he was too scared to
answer. Later we passed a quiet
looking old gentleman, who, after we we
had crossed his property of forest and
shrub, let fly two charges Of shot
at u.s."

PASADENA OFFERED WATER
FROM TIL JUNGA CANYON
Board of Trade Considers Plan to
Develop 1900 Inches Now
Going to Waste

PASADENA, oct. 9.-Representa-
tives of the TIL Junga Water & Power
company appeared before the board OF
trade water committee last evening
with a proposition to deliver to the
city from 1000 to 1900 miners inches
of flood water from the Tu Junga can
yon guaranteed to be free from legal
entanglements. 1t was stated that the
proposed water supply is not at pres
ent impounded and that, being flood
water, it could not be claimed by any
one else when once damned up.
The matter will be taken up with
the subcommittee on independent
water supply at a meeting Wednes-
day evening. Thomas M. Dack and
DR.. Homer Hansen OF Los Angeles,

pany.

water supply reported that a visit to
the San Gabriel narrows showed the
ground saturated with water at pres
ent, with at least ten miners inches
running to waste. Members Of the
committee are investigating the legal
and engineering phases of the ques-
ton of developing a supply from that
source. 1t was pointed out that power
from the municipal lighting plant
could be used for pumping at a cost
far lower than estimated several years
ago. when the NarroWs property was
purchased by the city and it was pro-
posed to install steam plants for
pumping.
The subcommittee on consolidation
of the present private water companies
reported that a meeting had been held
with the directors of the three prin-
cipal companies and that the latter
have appointed a committee to work
out q plan to submit to the stockhold-
ers. 1t is argued that with the pres
ent companies consolidated the pres
ent water supply could be more evenly
distributed and that matters would De
in better shape for purchase by the
city If such course should be decided
upon in the future.
Other subcommittee submitted par
tial reports and promised definite
statements at a future meeting per-
tanning to the Owens river supply, the
question of condemning the existing
private plants and the question Of de-
termining the value of property of the
existing companies. No report was
submitted from the subcommittee on
ways and means Of raising money to
defray expenses of Investigations being
made by the several committees.
Ernest II. Lockwood, who has re-
Gently returned from a northern trip,
told of wonderful engineering feats,
building plans and other civic under
takings in Seattle, Portland and other
cities, and by way of comparison
pointed out that Pasadena and South
ern California should plan for the flu
ture
1--WE are an ambitious and inteln-
gent people," he declared, but we
need a leader who will guide us out
of the wilderness of narrow thought.
We should take a broad view of the
question and plan to develop the whole
country surrounding Pasadena" he
said, land not confine ourselves to de-
veloping a small supply of water and
scattering it over too much territory"
