PASADENA PLANS ROAD
TAPPING SMALL TOWNS
Business Men Urge Organization
of Traction Company for
Better Service

PASADENA, April PA new cleo
trio railroad independent of the Hunt
ington lines and connecting Pasadena
and environs will be a reality in the
near future if the plans of the boosting
committee of the Merchants assocla-
tion are carried out, and Chairman
Joseph Israel of the committee stated
last evening that they will be, declar-
ing that the committee and others in
terested in the project are very much IN
earnest The resolution passed by the
committee yesterday lis as follows:
THAT the boosting committee recon-
mend to the Merchants association
that it agitate the question of organic
ing a traction company for the pur-
pose of building lines directly from
Pasadena, tapping Alhambra, South
Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Monrovia and
La Canada on account of the made
quate service to these towns to and
from Pasadena, and that the president
and secretary be requested to visit the
civic organizations of these towns that
are tributary to Pasadena and ascer-
tain their sentiment regarding the pro-
ject."
"The announcement by the manager
of the Pacific Electric company" said
Mr.. Israel, that so per cent of the
traffic coming from the territory south
of Pasadena will be diverted from the
business center of Pasadena when the
four track section is completed had
something to do with the agitation for
a new road.
AS to the connection of this road with
the Pasadena Rapid Transit company's
proposed line between Pasadena and
Los Angeles. Mr.. Israel said:
1.-THE rapid transit project was
touched upon briefly and it is possible
that our committee and the board of
trade rapid transit committee might
work out some plas for the benefit OF
the city and all concerned, but for the
present we consider the matter of con-
Meeting Pasadena with the nearby
towns the most important question be-
fore the people today. There is only
one through train each way daily be-
tween Sierra Madre and Pasadena.
People from Monrovia who wish to
trade here must come in a roundabout
way, and the La Canada district has
no transportation facilities at present
Mr. Israel laid particular stress upon
the fact that the terminals of these
lines must be in the business center,
and said that 10 trouble is anticipated
in obtaining rights Of way and fran
chises.
A special meeting of the directors Of
the Merchants association viii be
called soon to turther the project anu
it is thought probable that a special
meeting of the association as a whole
will follow that. The members of the
boosting committee are Joseph Israel,
Herman r. Hertel, ]. Herbert Hall, L.
e. Bassett and George J. Bremen.
It is said that this committee will
also recommend to the association the
appointment of a special committee to
cooperate with the board of trade
bridge committee to work for the build
ing of the proposed Arroyo bridge con-

INSANITY DEFENSE MADE
FOR ALLEGED MURDERER

SANTA ANA, April 21.-The defense
in the case of S. H. Overacker, accused
of numbering G. A. Winn at Newhope
last January, rested this afternoon and
the taking Of rebuttal testimony was
begun. The defense was insistent on
the insanity plea, though it also de-
pends largely upon a plea of self de-
fense. Three physicians were called as
experts on insanity. They stated thae
in their opinion a man of Overackers
physical and mental condition might
have fired the fatal shot in a moment
of insanity, as he had reached a point
of maniacal frenzy by reason of his
hatred of his neighbor, Winn, with
whom he had long been at war. The
physicians called were Drs. Medlock,
Bruner and Barnes of Santa Ana.

BAND LEADER DECLARES
WAR ON VENICE DOGS

VENICE, April 21-The old saying
that sweet music hath charms to
sooth the savage breast" does not apply
to dogs says Prof Manfredi Chiaffar-
ELI, leader of the Venice of America
band. Despite the claim of Adam Ber-
~, the colored official dogcatcher of
the city of Ocean Park, that he has
been working overtime in rounding up
stray dogs, Prof. Chiaffarelli declares
his evening concerts are being much
interrupted because Of the presence OF
many dogs that engage in fights dur
ing the rendition of musical numbers
Realizing that a good dog-fght will
attract the attention Of a crowd In
stantly from almost any other form OF
entertainment that can be mentioned
Chiaffarelli today declared war to the
death on Venetian dogs, and says he
will not cease his efforts until all can
ines have either been despatched OF
driven into the canals.

will now probably result in their rev.

Some of these places have trans

miniature garden of Nippon beautifully
yards. Others haven and most of
them have been making the mistake of
transplanting or in some cases incor-
porating other ideas which do not come
up to the requirements of a decorous
community.
The most fragrant offenders are
Charlie 50 Hotel and the Hirano Ho-
tel, on Kukui street, the proprietors Of
both being fined 800 each in police
court yesterday morning for selling
liquor without a license This is one
of the least of the offenses which, it is
asserted, are committed in these places

trials, one man being lately sentenced
in the court for keeping a young girl
just over fourteen years of age locke
in one of the Hirano Hotel rooms for
two DAYS. The main witness against
him was another man who admitted oc-
cupying the other room under similar
circumstances.
Other incidents connected with the
places have been recorded in police
records for several years, and while
the resorts remained practically unob-
trusive little action was taken against
them, but they have been getting worse,
according to the allegations of officials
connected with the police
All of them are popular among the
japanese, who find in them much of
ronized by the most representative
among the japanese business men. AS
long as this class of patronage con
tinued little objection was registered
against them and it was not until the
whites began to go there that condi-
tions grew to such state that police
interference was continually necessary.
\ number of the geisha girls, the
professional entertainers of Japan who
frequent the places with their japanese
songs and their Japanese instruments,
playing and singing alike for the haole
and japanese who pay for their ser
vices, have all been witnesses before
the grand jury. These are now fearful
that the shutting down of the japanese
tea houses win leave them without
means of support.
The investigation which was COM
menced last week will probably he con
tinued and the city treasurer may be
asked to have the licenses of the hotels
revoked under the clauses mentioned.
