broken caissons lying on the bottom.

NEGRO SPANISH WAR
VETERANS TO ORGANIZE
OWN DEPARTMENT T
Drawing of Color Line Expected to
Reunite Southern California
Factions

PASADENA, Jan. 15.-As a result of
the trouble over the admission to the
enCampment- OF negro delegates by the
United Spanish War Veterans at the
department meeting held some months
ago in Pasadena, it has been decided
to organize a negro department, to be
known as the Department of Califor-
mia. This department is to EN- brace
four negro camps of the state of Ore
gon and all of the negro organizations
of California, Arizona and perhaps
other nearby states. This is the cul-
mination of fight which at the de-
partment encampment threatened to
split the department in two, and which
did. result in several court martials and
the formation of a second camp of
Spanish War Veterans in Pasadena.
The decision to form a negro depart
ment will mean the elimination of the
negro members from attendance at
state encampments in the future and
means the strict barring of even the
doubtedly saved the life of Col. Roose-
velt and his rough riders, four Of
whom were present at the Pasadena
department encampment last year.
1t means a strict drawing of the
color line, so-called, and perhaps may
bring peace to the Southern California
factions of the veterans which have
been warning ever since the original
trouble in Pasadena. This trouble has
even resulted in the preferment of
charges and a demand for a court
martial of the state commander and
the wholesale resignation of some of
the men he appointed to office, men
with whom he later had trouble.

H. r. MORTON CLAIMS IMMUNITY
FROM ORDINANCE
Dealers Place of Business Is Just Out
side City Limits, and This
Gives Rise to Peculiar
Point at Law

OCEAN. PARK, Jan. 15.-Charged
with selling liquor in this city without
license, H. r. Morton, wholesale liq-
uor dealer on Pier avenue, Santa Mon
lea, was brought before Recorder
Wheeler today. His trial was set for
January "a. He gave cash bail of S100,
The questions involved in the charge
against Morton are considered peculiar.
His place of business is slightly more
than a city block north of the Ocean
Park city boundary line He is charged
directly with delivering liquor in this
city, which he admitted doing. He de-
clared, however, that he has been do
ing this for some time, and cannot see
how it is a violation of the law, as he
does not solicit business in this city.
The police asked Morton how he got
his orders, most of which are classed as
family trade. Morton said most of the
orders come over the telephone. The
police declare they are anxious to have
the point settled as to whether getting
orders for liquor by telephone is per
sonal solicitation. The outcome of the
trial is awaited with interest.

WATER CAMPAIGN
ON IN PASADENA
SAMPLE BALLOTS MAILED TO
ELECTORS
Propositions Provide for the Purchase
of Properties of Three Hold
ing Companies

PASADENA, Jan. 15.-When the city
.lerk today mailed to the voters OF
Pasadena the sample ballots for the
municipal water election, January 20,
the water campaign was fairly started
1t is probable that both sides VIII De
we'll organized, but it is also apparent
from the attitudes taken that neither
side wants to take the first step INTO
an open campaign. This may mean
that there will be absolutely no pre-
liminary campaign or, at most,
campaign of but three or four days.
This will be a big change from the
past. for when the bonds were de-
feated something over a year ago the
campaign was hot and furious lor
several weeks before election day, with
public mass meetings and professions.
on the official ballots there will be
but two propositions to be voted upon
instead of eight as there were at the
last election. The purchase OF the
three largest water ompanies-the
Lake Vineyard, Westside and North
Pasadena companies-iS Jumped in one
proposition. The other proposition
merely authorizes the sale of bonds in
the sum of 100000 for Improvement
and betterment, as well as extension
of the water systems which may be
acquired if the other issue carries.
The price to be paid for the water
plants totals an even million dollars,
and there are also other important
provisions in the ballot one of which
is that the city agrees specifically TO
continue to supply such people outside
of the city limits, more particularly
the citizens of South Pasadena, with
water Subject to the lawful duties
of the company subject to the proVi-
sions, also that owner of land and
consumers of water outside of the
present limits of the city now supplied
by the company shall not or ever be
Disseminated against or charged a
greater rate than is charged to users
of water within the city of Pasadena.
One of the leaders of the anti-munic-
ipal water side, when asked what his
political faction was doing in regard
to a campaign said today that his
people were doing nothing pending a
move from the other side. He admit
ted that there was a meeting of the
organization last Wednesday evening,
but denied that any effort at an open
campaign would be made Immediately
as was done at the last election.
The other side is equally reticent
and while there will undoubtedly be
an organization at the polls it seems
as though both sides would fight shy
of an open campaign with the pro-
miscuous distribution of campaign
literature, as was very much the fash
ion in 1908.
