Faiadena Agency,
114 East Colorado Street
PASADENA, Sept. B.— Rev. Kingsley
A. Burnell, aged 81, was struck by a
Pacific Electric car last night at the
corner of Fair Oaks and Monterey and
bo sevelely Injured that he died at
midnight. It seems that the old gen
tlemen was hurrying home from prayer
meeting when he came to the street
car tracks and being a little deaf did
not hear the approach of the car.
Motorman Chandler says that the man
stepped In front of the car when it was
only about twenty feet distant and
that although he stopped the car as
soon as possible it was not until tin
man had been struck and hurled eight
or ten feet into the gutter beside the
track.
The injured man was hurried to the
Pasadena hospital, where he was Im
mediately attended by Dr. F. F. Row
land, the Pacific Electric company's
surgeon. One arm had been broken
in several places, his face was
badly cut and he no doubt suffered
Internal injuries, which made his re
covery Impossible. Mr. Burnell resided
on South Marengo avenue with his
wife and son and they were accustomed
to accompany , him when he left the
house at night on account of his age
and feebleness. Last night he went
alone.
] The deceased was a well-known and
effective Sunday school worker and or
.ganlzer for many years and John
Wanamaker kept him for years en
gaged in the west as a missionary in
this line of work. Since Mr. Burnell's
retirement Mr. Wanamaker had pro
vided for his old age with a pension.
The funeral will occur Sunday from the
West Side Congregational church, of
which he was a member.'
Tommorrow morning an inquest will
be held at the undertaking rooms of
Ives & Warren.
Another Blind Pig Case
Constable Austin today arrested
Robert M. Follows, keeper of the well
known Follows camp In the San Ga
briel canyon, on the charge of Illegal
sale of liquor. Assistant District At
torney Fleming made the complaint
and the case will be heard before Jus
tice Klamroth on September 14. H. S.
Chap'pelear is the complaining witness.
Mr. Follows says that he is only tech
nically guilty, but will plead guilty
and pay whatever fine is assessed. He
says that Chappelear came to the
camp on August 6 and complained to
an employe that he could not get a
drink. The employe told Chappelear
that he would get him something,
which he did from a flask of whisky
kept by Mr. Follows for his own use.
Mr. Follows says that this was un
known to him and that liquor has
never been sold at his resort to his
knowledge.
North Pasadena Water Matters
The North Pasadena Improvement
association had a lively meeting last
night, the water works question com
ing in for a rather acrimonious discus
sion. Secretary Lewis of the North
Pasadena Water company announced
that the board of directors would hold
Its regular meeting Monday night, at
which time the question of holding an
election to determine whether the plant
will be sold to Pasadena will be de
cided. The reason for so much secrecy
in the past was explained as having
been caused by a disagreement with
the Los Angeles expert summoned in
the affair. But 'now that has been Rat
tled and there is no further reason for
delay. A meeting of the stockholders
of .the company was called, for Thurs
day night, September 14, for an, open
discussion of the whole water works
proposition.

POSSIBILITIES
GOVERNMENT AID SOLICITED
Daniel W. Murphy Bont by the Federal

* Feasibility of Reclaiming the
County's Western Slope
Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. B.— Daniel W.
Murphy of the reclamation service of
the United States has arrived in the
city for the purpose of looking over the
project for the reclamation, of the
western slope of San Diego county. The
project is fathered by William E.
Smythe, the well known lrrlgationlst,
and a committee was appointed some
time since to gather data to be laid
before the government officials to in
duce them to take hold of the project
under the reclamation laws which pro
vide for the government to undertake
the work and receive its pay from the
settlers or the people benefited by the
work after it is accomplished. There Is
no one river here from which to draw
a big supply, but from many small
streams in the county many reservoirs
can be filled and there Is enough land
connected with the various possible
reservoirs to make the combined project
large enough for the government to
take hold of. Mr. Murphy will be here
for ten days or two weeks looking over
the land.
The board of supervisors at its Sep
tember meeting decided not to take
the advice of the district attorney in
the matter of compromising the suit

salaries. The district attorney claims
that he can stop the payment of the
commissioners' salaries and the board
has said that it does not want them
stopped.
