OCEAN PARK DANCE HALL
EMPTIED BY NEAR RIOT
Suppressed Incident Is Likely to
Cause Investigation of Prac-
tees at Beach Resorts

OCEAN PARK, Sept. 19.-The begin
nings of a riot between dancers and at
tendants at the dancing pavilion on
Pier avenue last night were carefully
suppressed today for fear that the
authorities might find it necessary to
close the dance hall. 1t apears to be
the elimination of a number of Incl
dents which have occasiOned trouble at
the dance hall during the summer, and
as a result of which the pavilion was
emptied within a very few minutes
after the trouble occurred.
A Los Angeles hardware merchant
who was dancing is said to have been
seized by the throat by an intoxicated
employe and pushed against the ropes
without warning because the employe
did not like the way he was dancing.
The men who were dancing and some
fifteen employees lined up against each
other, and the women were hustled off
the floor in anticipation Of q general
mixup. The policeman stationed at that
section of the pier interviewed single
handed and stopped the impending riot
in five minutes,
Although prOfuse apologies were made
by the manager Of the place, 1t is said
that a complaint will be filed with the
city authorities and the business bodies,
and an investigation of the maner in
which several beach resorts were con-
Quoted this summer may follow as
result.

WATER COMPANY
FOR RAILWAYS DELAY

PASADENA, Sept. 20-The Pasadena
Lake Vineyard Land and Water COM
Dany is blamed by General Manager
Mcmillan of the Pacific Electric rail-
vay for the delay in track construc-
tion and paving in South Lake avenue
between Colorado and California
streets. In a letter to Ed T. Off, for
mer president Of the board of trade,
Manager Mcmillan says in part:
when we began digging in the street
we found an old rusted out water main
of the Pasadena Lake Vineyard Land
and Water company quite near the sur
face, and from which it was unsafe to
remove the dirt, as the pipe line was
so honeycombed that when the dirt
was removed there was nothing left to
conduct the water.
after considerable delay, and with
out receiving any assistance whatever
from the city officials of Pasadena, the
Pacific Electric was wrongfully forced
to stand a good portion of the expense
of buying and placing new pipe line
for the water company along that
street. BY the time this had been done
it was June 10, and up to that time we
could not excaVate on that street for
our work.
wherefore you will see that we have
up to this time had barely ninety days,
and really only about seventy-flVe
working days, in which to do all our
work. Please understand the work of
lowering this water pipe line did not
begin until after the Pacific Electric
had signed up to stand one-half the eX-

HORSE TRAINER DIES FROM
KICK BY VICIOUS HORSE

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 19-Samuel A.
Mcconnell, aged 60, for several years a
horse trainer in the employ of E. e.
Walters, died last night at the county
hospital as the result of being kicked
by a horse il the corral of the Walters
ranch on Indiana avenue.
The accident occurred shortly after
noon Sunday, and since it was not wit
messed by anyone facts concerning it
can only be guessed Mcconnell was
kicked in the abdomen, but managed
to drag himself to the fence and give
a sign of distress to M. NJ. Randall.
When it was found that the mans in
juries were serious he was removed to
the county hospital and Drs. Roblee,
Holland and Tucker were summoned.
They wanted to operate on the unfor-
tunate man, who was suffering Sc
verely, but he refused unless Walters
gave his permission. He fingered until
$50, when he died. Examination
showed that his injuries were of such
a character that it is doubtful that if
save his life.
an operation would have availed to
save his life.
Mcconnell was unmarried, but has a
sister at Avalon, who was notified of
the accident.

WILL HAVE TO ARGUE
PASADENA PHONE CASE

PASADENA, Sept 20.-A surprise
was sprung in municipal administration
circles yesterday when Mayor Farley
received word that the state supreme
court desires to hear oral arguments
in the case of the city against the Sun
set Telephone company. The court
will sit en- banc in Los Angeles on
October 49, Some time ago 1t was an
nounced that a decision would be rem
dered from the briefs submitted without
oral argument, and the request for
the attorneys to again appear before
the tribunal to present their sides of
the case verbally is cause for specula-
tion on the part OF officials and
citizens.
The present case is the outcome of a
suit started IN 1907, when the COM
pany's franchise in Pasadena expired
and an attempt was made to compel
a renewal, without result. An ordinance
to pay a tax on all poles within the
city or take out a franchise, and the
company applied for and received an
injunction against the city. In the
spring of 1909 the superior court denied
the injunction and within three hours
after the decision city employees, under
orders from city officials, had cut
seventeen cable lines and put the COM
pany out of business.
Upon the promise that test case
would be rushed to a decision the COM
pany was allowed to repair its lines,
and it is this case which is now in
court The company maintains that
because it is engaged in interstate busi-
ness the city cannot collect tax or
require a franchise.

FAVOR CONSOLIDATION
OF 8 WATER COMPANIES
Directors of One Corporation
Take Steps Toward Jointure
with Others

PASADENA. Sept 2O.-At a meeting
of the directors of the North Pasadena
Land and Water company yesterday
afternoon the members went on record
as favoring consolidation of the three
principal water companies Of the city,
and the directors will take steps at
once to bring the matter before the
stockholders and others interested in
the move.
A. ]. Toolen, one of the directors,
said last evening: "If the companies
are consolidated a more even distribu-
tion of water over the city could be
arranged and the so-called dry tract
could be supplied with water from the
mains of the Lake Vineyard company
which run through the tract. 1 be-
lieve the fact that another company
has mains in the tract and that 1T is
entirely out of our district had much
to do with the court decision in our
favor in the recent suit brought by
residents of the tract trying to COM
pei us to serve them."
According to Mr.. Toolen, the pumps
in the north we'll, which have been out
of order for three days, leaving the
district bounded on the north by the
city limits, on the east by Lake ave-
nue., on the south by Washington
street and on the west by Raymond
avenue, without water. viii be re-
paired by this morning and all resi-
dents in the section will be furnished
with water. A gang of men worked
for three nights and three days on
the repairs.
The directors of the North Pasadena
company voted to remove the two one
inch meters from the dry tract" and
leave the residents there to rely upon
the Cottonwood Canyon Water COM
pany to supply their needs. 1t was to
restrain the company from doing this
that the recently decided injunction
suit was instituted by members of
the Citizens league of the section
known as the dry tract and bounded
on the north by Dakota street, on the
east by Sunset avenue, on the south
by an irregular line running north Of
and parallel to Mountain street, thence
west and south to Seco street, and
on the west by the Arroyo Seco.

RIVERSIDE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY HAS
LOWER TOTAL. TAX RATE
Least in History of County and
Valuation Aggregates More
Than $350,OOO

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 19.-Riverside
county is to have the lowest tax rate
in its history. The supervisors today
adopted the estimate of County Auditor
Brown fixing the rate at S1.20. This
will make total of $3.50 per $1,000 that
property owners will have to pay in the
city of Riverside.
This is divided as follows: State and
county tax, $12; city tax, SIS; special
school tax, $3.50. The rate last year
was S1.15 but the valuation had been
raised 40 per cent by the state board
of equalization, and this valuation was
reduced this year by the county as
SCISSOR.
The school tax is high this year owing
to the fact that schools in the county
have voted and sold bonds the past
year aggregating the sum of $141, 308.
This statistical report of County Au-
ditor Brown shows that the county has
property valued at 1888, 437.09.

LIQUID RAID CAUSES A
RAID OF TACKLE STAND

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 19.-Jake Armen-
trout paid a fine of $1OO in police court
this morning and declared that here
after the only fish bait in which he will
deal is that which contains no alcohol.
He has been running a fish bait and
tackle stand on Beacon street for years.
Since consolidation the saloons have
closed Sundays and the police have
suspected for months that Jake's bait
was not confined to CLAIMS, worms and
sardines. Yesterday a secret service
officer succeeded by buying some of
Jake's liquid bait and the place was
raided. Twenty bottles of liquor
that Jake called "clam juice" were
secured.
His place has for years had a big
Sunday trade with anglers who come
here from outside towns to fish. 1t has
been noticed lately that the number of
local citizens who visit the bait en-
porium and come away without tackle
has been increasing.
