tracted such great attention or excited such great IN
terest as Roosevelt's journey through the Wilds Of
Africa in search of the Big Game Of that Dark Con-
tinent. The rising generation have been brought to
a more interesting realization Of the Marvellous Won

where the game is larger and more abundant and
there he shoots the largest and most ferocious of all
beasts the Lion, Rhinocerus and Elephant, and gets
the finest specimens of Monkeys and other animals.

and after securing the promise that
she would be allowed to leave the city,

the county Jail with the understanding
that she would leave within an hour.
What money she had was distributed

ELECTRIC GENERATOR
SUBJECTED TO TEST
Statement That Plant Does Not Pay
to Be ignored by Pasadena
Officials F.

PASADENA, Feb. 1.-THE new S33-
kilowatt generator of the municipal
light plant was tested last night for
two hours and showed an efficiency
of $50 kilowatts per hour per barrel Of
oil. The guarantee test of eighteen
pounds of water per kilowatt hour was
reduced by two-tenths of a pound. The
test was made with a 80 per cent load.
With a low load pressure the eff
cheney cannot be maintained at this
figure. The second of the fifty-cycle
units was completed today and both
will be running smoothly in a few
days.
AS to the authorized statement by
Mathew Slavin, in the local papers
last night, claiming that the plant
does not pay, Manager Koiner states
that no official reply is necessary as
it would only be rehash and the citi-
zens, who are the stockholders, know
what rates and what service they are
getting and what they had formerly.
On the same question Mayor Farley
says: Just ask anyone q few feet
outside of the city limits whede they
are still paying the old rate of IL cents
Der kilowatt, and see what the think
of the success of our plant and the
rates we enjoy"

POLYTECHNIC PARTY TO
WORK FOR HIGH SCHOOL

March IL

LONG BEACH, Feb. ia progress
sive polytechnic party is the event
arranged for the high school parent
teachers association campaign commit
tee as a means to boost the coming
bond election. About two weeks before
the election is held the progressive
party will take place, meetings being
held in all the school buildings and
speakers being hurried from one build
ing to another in automobiles.
The members of the board of educa-
tion discovered today that owing to the
omission of the word "high" in preface
to the word school in several places
in the call issued recently for the bond
election, the call will have to be re-
scinded, for fear the omission might
make the election illegal. This was
done this afternoon and the election
probably will be held March 12, one
week later than the date formerly set.

WAFER is CRY OF
PASADENA DODGER
CITY is PLACARDED WITH REF
ERENCE TO ISSUE
Residents of Dry Tract Petition for
Investigation Of Sanitary Condi-
tons Resulting from Pres
ent Situation
Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Feb. 17.-Late this
evening the city was placarded with
dodgers bearing the following inscrip-
tion
Watch the water issue in the dry
tract; will the mayor and councilmen
stand by the people?"
Efforts to trace the source of the
dodgers proved unavailing. Members
of the Citizens league disclaim all
knowledge of its origin or the purpose
of it's appearance, while Fl. L. Smith
and B. w. L. Lockwood, who are
credited with working independently
for more and better water in the tract,
state they know nothing about it.
The dry tract water question took
q new turn today when residents of
the district called at the city hall and
asked the city health officer and the
city council to investigate the water
from the hydrants and unsanltary
conditions due to a lack of water.
The city sprinkling wagons are still
supplying the residents as far as pos
sible. President Eason of the North
Pasadena Land and Water company
states that a meeting will be called
this week to vote on extending their
territory to include the affected dis
trict. The Cottonwood Canyon Water
company has made no arrangements
for meeting as yet, and no reason is
given for the delay. The question ap-
parently hinges ON whether or not the
latter company will sell its distribut-
ing system to the residents to enable
them to connect up with the North
Pasadena company.
