BOARD NAMES MEMBERS
OF WATER COMMITTEE
Receive No Official Reply to Let
terS Notifying AppointeeS
of Action

PASADENA, Aug. 5.-Board Of trade
officials have as yet received no Of
fetal replies to the letters mailed yes
terday notifying the eighteen pros
pective members of the board of trade
water committee of their appoint
ment. Several of the men are out OF
town and others state that they want
time TO think the matter over Ed
mund d. Barry, president or the re-
Gently formed Pasadena Civic asSo-
citation. which has as its principal OBJ
ject the acquiring of owens river
water, has published an open letter de'
clining a position on the board of trade
committee. Whether this will be taken
as an official declnation is not stated.
His letter is in part as follows:
1.-THE president and secretary Of your
board have recently conferred with me
in reference to the necessity of OBJ
tanning for Pasadena a portion OF the
owens river water. While they dis
claimed acting in an official capacity
they informed me that they believed
the time had come when Pasadena
must obtain an additional and indie
pendent water supply. They requested
the support of myself and those VINO
had been associated with me in op-
posing the issuance of bonds for the
purchase of the local plants at the
last water bond election. They as
sured me that the question of the pur-
chase of the local company's plants
would not come up until after the
question of Owens river water was
settled"
The balance of Mr.. Barry's letter
reiterates former statements of how he
stands on the water question, calling
attention to the fact that the Civic
association has now a communication
in the hands of the Los Angeles water
board inquiring upon what terms that
city will sell Owens river water to
Pasadena, and declaring that he will
stand by the platform of the Civic
association to acquire that water be-
fore taking any steps to open up the
question of purchasing the existing
local plants over which there has been
such a wide difference of opinion in
the past.
While Mr.. Barry does not openly ac-
cuse the board of trade officials with
bad faith in the matter, that is the
construction placed by some upon his
letter. Other citizens who were asked
to serve upon the proposed board of
trade water committee, but who wish
their names withheld for the present,
stated last evening that unless they
change their minds after investigating
the proposition they will refuse serV-
ice on the committee.

SANTA ANA, Aug. 4-That Santa
Ana is in line for a convention hall
that win have a seating capacity of at
least 5000 is shown by the fact that
the two most important commercial
bodies here have appointed commit
tees to join with the committee from
the Church Federation council to de-
wise ways and means for the erection
of such a building. This action was
taken last night when the matter was
p scented by the federation commit
tee headed by DR.. ]. Herndon Gar
nett. Both civic bodies were already
favorable and convinced of the neces-
sity of a building and readily indorsed
the movement. The committee from
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation comprises H. G. Dean, N. A.

TRUSTEES OF REDLANDS
AGAINST COVERED DITCH
Find No Reason for Requiring
Such Improvement

REDLANDS. Aug. 4.-The city trus-
tees at a meeting last night decided
against an order to have the Bear val
ley water ditch covered from the Red
lands reservoirs to a point above Men
tone, as recommended by the board
of health and the San Bernardino Med
ical society The trustees could find in
neither recommendation nor report any
statements of contamination or the
city's water supply or of the ditch
being a nuisance. hence felt they could
not force a cover, especially since the
ditch is outside of the city limits for
most of the distance. The matter is
involved because the ditch Is owned
by the Bear Valley Mutual company,
while the water supply comes from the
Domestic company. The Bear Valley
company is made up of several smaller
companies, and many of these are not
interested in the domestic water stu
alton, hence oppose the assessment for
covering the ditch.

SECRETARY OF MISSION
SOCIETY IS PROMOTED
Rev. F. w. Emerson Is Made Field
Superintendent, a Newly
Created Office

LONG BEACH, Aug. 4.-The Rev,
F. w Emerson of Redlands, who has
served the Southern California Nilsson
airy society as state secretary for only
three months, was today advanced to
a newly created office, that of superin-
tendent of field missions. He had been
especially commended by the commit
tee, and his choice for the new office
was approved unanimously by the con-
yention. The state of Arizona has been
separated from California in mission
work, the articles of incorporation be-
ing amended by cutting out the word
Arizona"
An interesting report was given to-
day to the effect that the Christian
Evangelist, a paper which r. A Long
of Kansas City paid $130,000 for and
turned over to the churches, had made
profits of $4,000 last year. Mr.. Long
gives $2500 a month from his private
fortune for the betterment of church
conditions and work.
In an address on Does God Answer
Prayer" DR.. Peter Ainslee of Balti-
more said today:
Prayer has not the place in our life
it ought to have. Men are not lean
ing enough on the arm of God. Why
should not God hear? If he does not
hear, he is deaf. If he is deaf, he is
imperfect. If he is imperfect, he is not
God.
There are 21OO children in the George
Mueller orphanage at Bristol, England.
Neither Mueller nor his successor ever
asked a person for a penny, yet the
children have been housed and clothed
and fed in answer to prayer. Mueller
would not accept an endowment of a
half-million dollars, but since his death
the orphanage has continued to be
supported by free will gifts"
Dr. r. P. Shepherd of st. Louis pre-
sided at the Sunday school sessions of
the day. Hugh C. Gibson of Los An
geles spoke on New Movements In
Sunday School Work. A graded sys-
TENS of lessons, he said, is required.
The Rev. NJ. D. Club also spoke on

JAPANESE AT PASADENA
MAY SECURE NEW CHURCH

church, supported by Japanese resi-

posed for Pasadena. There are two
plans being discussed. one is to form
an independent church for the Japan
ese, if such is possible. If that fails,
it is proposed to establish a Japanese
mission, which to all intents and pur
poses would be a separate institution,
but which would be connected with the
First congregational church. which is
fostering the idea. A committee from
this organization has been appointed to
work out the plan 1t is made up as
follows: Prof. A L. Hamilton, Prof. f.
