BILL OF LADING CALLS FOR
1DOG, BUT WHERE is TOGO?
Express Messenger Says Pups
Pedigree Is Mixed

VENICE, Aug. 6.-"Oh where, oh
where has my little dog done, oh where,
oh where can he be-" was the song of
Mrs. X. Imai wife of a Pasadena
Japanese tonight. The cause of her
lament was the escape of her little dog
Togo from the custody of the Wells
Fargo Express company. The animal
was expressed here, together with a
trunk, and Mr.. and Mrs. Imai and dog
gle expected to spend pleasant time
at the beach. Now all is sadness with
the Imais and they will not be con-
soled.
Togo is described on the bill of lad
ing as an English st. Bernard" but
one of the express messengers said to-
night that the pet possesses all the ap-
pearance of a. hybrid dachshund-span-
iel, with a trace of terrier. When
transferred to an express car at Los
Angeles the messenger tied the dogs
chain to the handle of the trunk, as
both objects were on the same bill of
lading, and he said he did not wish to
get his freight mixed. When the car
got to Ocean Park the Imai trunk was
unloaded by mistake and, of course,
when 1t was Smashed" onto the plat
form Togo, very much attached to the
heavy chest, followed. The force of
the jerk, however caused the weakest
appeared down an alley.
Mrs. Iami made a demand upon
Agent Seward at Venice for her dog.
He was unable to produce it, She
threatened to seek damages, claiming
the dog is worth $3.50. At this a num-
ber of express company employees were
started on a search for the missing live
express package. The police of both
Ocean Park and Santa Monica We're
notified and the benefit of the expe-
rience of Adam Berry and William
Tecumseh Simpson, black official dog
catchers, respectively. of those cities,
was sought.
Up to the time darkness fell over
the beach no trace of the dog had been
found, although it was claimed by resi-
dents in the northern part of Santa
Monica that canine answering the
description of the missing Togo was
seen dragging part of his chain and
headed for Santa Monica canyon. Berry
and Simpson left for that vicinity to-
night, as a reward is said to have been
offered by the express company for the
capture of the dog alive.
Agent Seward describes Mrs. Imal
as a woman with red hair and dis
tinctively foreign accent, not Japan
ese. Her husband is bright looking
Japanese with the appearance of a
successful merchant.

York, recently won by Mr.. Hayes"
There is absolutely no doubt that we
will get it."

SAN BERNARDINO MAYOR
AFTER SHORT MEASURERS
Asks City Attorney to Outline a
Plan of Prosecution

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. GA
crusade against merchants using short
weights and measures to contribute
to the high cost of living has been
launched by Mayor S. w. McNabb.
The mayor from personal investiga-
tion determined that the people of the
city, in all instances at least, are not
receiving everything that they pay for
and has requested City Attorney
Swing to furnish him with informa-
ton regarding the procedure neces-
sary to punish the guilty merchants.
Whether the mayor has in his posses
sion information that can convict
merchants of the alleged violation of
the state law is not yet known.
The matter is being freely discussed
by city officials and it is possible that
an inspector will be employed to check
up the merchants in an attempt to Sc
cure evidence that shows they are
cheating the public.

.LLOYDS MAY GUARANTEE
TOURNAMENT OF ROSES
London Firm Asked to Grant In
suranCe Against Rain on
Pasadena's Holiday

PASADENA, Aug. ITO insure
against rain is the aim of the Tourna-
ment of Roses officials, who are in COM
munication with Lloyds Of London,
asking them If they will guarantee the
annual tournament against loss caused
by a downpour on New Years day and
what rates would be charged. 1t Is
thought if the deal goes through 1t Will
be the first rain insurance of record.
Heretofore Pasadena merchants have
subscribed to a guarantee fund to be
called upon pro rata to meet expenses
of preparation for the fiesta in case rain
should interfere with holding it at the
appointed time. Only twice in twenty
one years since the annual tournament
was started have subscribers to the
fund been called upon to contribute,
once when New Years day fell on sun
day and rain interfered with the cele-
bration on January 2, and this year,
when the chariot races and other sports
had to be postponed on account of rain.
The deficit this year was $500.
