NEWS NOTES FROM PASADENA Congressman McLachlan Given a Welcome Home INFANTILE REPUBLICANS _____ • Express Their Satisfaction With What Has Been Done Doings In the Social World—An Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide—Dunham Remains I'ncaught — Brevities PASADENA, June 25.—The large mu sic room of the Green hotel was crowded last evening when Congressman James McLachlan of this district was given a reception in honor of his return from Washington. Besides Pasadena people of all parties and political beliefs there were visitors from Los Angeles, most of them members of the Young Men's Re publican league. At the head of the hall the American flag was displayed and music was furnished by an orches tra from the Pasadena band. The company was called to order by Captain Simpson of the committee on arrangements. It was gratifying, he said, to welcome Mr. McLachlan home with the knowledge that he had honora bly discharged his trust, had kept all his pledges and was worthy the confidence of the people. Captain Simpson called upon Mr. W. E. Arthur for the formal address of wel come. Mr. Arthur said that the gath ering waß in a neighborly spirit, its ob ject to do honor to a faithful servant on a non-partisan basis. Ever since Mr. McLachlan's arrival here the Pasadena people have delighted to honor him. He was first elected to the office of assist ant district attorney, then to the district attorneyship and finally to congress to represent the greatest district of the state. Though he had been once beaten by an unholy alliance of Populists, Dem ocrats and Prohibitionists the people had not lost confidence in him, but had sent him to represent a district that has more seaboard than any Atlantic state. Bis course In congress had been straight forward and honorable and we extend to him the greeting of friends. At the conclusion of the long applause which followed Mr. Arthur's address Mr. McLachlan replied. He had first come to Pasadena eight years ago, thinking that he had made a fortune from a real estate Investment, which he negotiated while In the east. He had come upon his wedding trip and had return tickets purchased. The real estate investment proved an utter failure and Mr. Mc- Lachlan was persuaded by Judge J. G. Uo3Slter to remain in Pasadena. He sold bis railroad tickets for $40. and with this he and his wife set up housekeeping. He had felt very insignificant when in the presence of the great men of congress. He was proud of his district and did all in his power to its improvement. He had done his best to carry out his pledges, and judging by the heartiness of his reception he thought he must have attained a measure of success. Governor Markham upon being called on for a few remarks by the chairman was greeted with applause. He was glad to join in with a word of congratula tion and greeting to Mr. McLachlan. Having had some experience himself in congress he could appreciate the difficul ties that confronted the new member. He had learned while in Washington re cently that the member from the Sixth district stood high among his fellows. •If the people want Increased efficiency in their representation they should re elect Mr. McLachlan this fall. It takes about two terms for a congressman to become fitted for his duties, and the best thing that could be done would be to elect the present representative by a large majority, so that his contemporar ies would feel that he was worthy of re spect. The closing speech was made Mr. W. C. Patterson, president of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. Having visited Washington In the interests of the San Pedro appropriation,he had learned that Mr. McLachlln bore a reputation there above criticism. He had been misjudged and misunderstood concerning the har bor question. He was glad to testify to Mr. McLachlan's loyalty to his pledges. The company then broke up for a short session of social Intercourse and the en joyment of refreshments in the form of lemonade and fruit punch, which were served in the hall. A SURPRISE PARTY.

RIVERSIDE Trouble Among the Republican Brethren Socle) enJ Peraonal RIVERSIDE, June 25.—There is trouble among the Republicans of Riv erside. In the last county convention the masses of the party quietly went to work and completely turned down the "old gang," who have been dominating the party for the last fifteen or twenty years but in the flush of victory that care was not taken which should have been to clinch the victory in re-electing delegates to the state convention and the delegates fell down to the "old gang' and gave them in that convention just what they would have themselves taken had they been elected as delegates to the state convention. Naturally enough those who had controlled the convention and who had without doubt represented four-lifths of the party in the county, felt sore over having their good work all dashed to the ground by those whom they trusted as delegates, and the breech widens. A meeting was called for Wednesday to form a Young Men's Re publican club, the call having been en gineered by those who have no use for anything or any one not to be used in the interest of the old bosses. This re newed the displeasure of the party, and since the call was issued the air has been made blue. There were just thirteen persons all told at the meeting, and Boss W. U. Phelps thought it best to adjourn for a larger meeting, and a committee on organization was appointed, all of whom are avowedly with the old ring. A club organized on these lines will ac complish, if anything, only disruption in the party in the county. John P. Brown and Miss Bessie God frey were married at the Episcopal church, this city, Wednesday morning. Dr. Milton Dolton, rector, officiating. Miss Godfrey is the accomplished daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. A. Godfrey of Somerset Grove, Riverside. District Attorney Gill thinks he will not push the charges against young Reher and Adams, charged with burg lary, as he is of the opinion that the evi dence against them is not strong enough to secure conviction. He will, however, probably arraign them for petit larceny. The cause of arrest was alleged purloin ing of a barrel of bottled beer from "Dick" Bush.' Ah Fook was released from the county jail yesterday, having served a sen tence for stealing a number of tools from the Hart place. W. T. Falkner and family, Mr. and Mrs. E. P.

But for the illness of Mrs. Bowers he would spend a week at the hot springs in this county. He is suffering from rheuma tism. / M. J. Burke will have served his ninety days in jail next Saturday for a viola tion of the prohibition ordinance, the principal portion of the past year hav ing been spent in Hotel de Wilson, and it is given out that as soon as he is free he will shake the dust of Riverside from his feet and take up his residence In a more congenial community—San Ber nadino. This will be pleasant disappoint ment to the officers, who had predicted that he would not be out ten days until he would again be violating the ordi nance. As the sheriff's office Is now busy Ber ing subpoenas on the 109 jurors drawn a few days ago, from whom to select the jury to try Charles Marshall, lt Is taken as an evidence that Marshall* attor LOS A#&lßt_B ;___SftAtß: f*ftTl>AT MOBNIKGr.

Wingfleld, who for a number of years was one of the most prominent men in this city, has disappeared, leav ing behind him a letter in which he an nounces his determination to commit suicide, and that it will be useless to search for his body.

When the letter was received search was made for him, and this afternoon a party was organized to conduct a systematic hunt. They have gone to the place where Wingfleld was last seen and will start from that point. Wingfleld was at one time one of the heavy stockholders in the motor road, as well as possessor of val uable landed Interests in this vicinity. When financial reverses came he se cured a situation as conductor on the road which he had formerly owned, and later resigned his place to go into the mining business, in which he was ex perienced. He met with poor success, and for some time has been despondent, lt Is thought possible from the tone of his letter that his mind became unbal anced and that the threat was not an Idle one. He was a single man and had no one dependent upon him for sup port. POMONA Graduating Exercises of the Pomona College.
