MERCHANTS PLAN
TO BRING TRADE
PASADENA DESIRES CLOSER
RELAfIONS
Will Petition for Through Electric
Cars From Sierra Madre and
Arrange Open Meeting
for April 5
Pasadena Agency,
11 North Haymond Avenue.
Telephone Main U47.
. PASADENA, March 13.— The reg
ular monthly meeting of the directors
of the Pasadena Merchants' associa
tion was held late this afternoon in
the board of trade rooms. The chief
topic for discussion was the possibility
. of bringing to Pasadena the trade of
such outlying towns as Sierra Madre
and Lamanda Park. A recent canvass
of these two places showed 145 house
holders in Sierra Madre and 422 In
Lamanda Park. The names of these
householders will be printed and the
list supplied to every member of the
association. President Sargent ap
pointed a committee consisting of 11.
R. Hertel, D. G. Andrews and George
Brainard to consult with the manage
ment of the Pacific Electric as to
through car service from each of the
two places named above. It was also
decided to hold an open meeting of
the association on the evening of
Thursday, April 5, at which time prom
inent citizens of Sierra Madre, La
manda Park and La Canyada will ad
dress the merchants on the best means
of concentrating the trade of those
localities in Pasadena. It is consid
ered that this trade rightly belongs to
the Crown City and the Merchants' as
sociation Intends making every effort
to secure and hold it. At the present
time Sierra Madre people must change
cars at Lamanda Park in order to come
to Pasadena, the direct through cars
going to Los Angeles Instead.
Cruelty Case Not Ended
The cruelty to animals case against
Marcus A. Hall, treasurer of the Wil
liam R. Staats company, which is
handling the Huntington interests In
the Oak Knoll tract south of the city,
occupied the entire day in Justice
Northrup's court at Al ham bra. It was
a Pasadena case pure and simple and
the participants and audience came
from the Crown City, the judge and
jury alone hailing from Alhambra.
Deputy District Attorney McCormlck,
who aided In the prosecution of the
first of these Oak Knoll cruelty cases,
did not appear today and the prosecu
tion was handled by Attorney Elmer
I. Moody, representing the Simons
brothers, at whose instance the suits
■were begun. Judge Rossiter, the reg
ular attorney for the Pasadena Hu
mane society, had charge of the de
fense. The forenoon was devoted to
the choosing of a jury, a rather diffi
cult matter, all but three of the reg
ular panel being called before the Jury
was complete. The following witnesses
for the prosecution were examined:
Foreman Switzer, who made the com
plaint; Reporters Hall and Short,
Walter and Joseph Simons and their
chauffeur at the time of the visit of
inspection to the grading camp at Oak
Knoll. The prosecution will continue
tomorrow morning and the case is like
ly to last all day.
Echoes of the Storm
The total amount of rainfall during
the storm, of yesterday and the day
before as registered by the Throop
Institute rain gauge is 4.65 inches
and the season's total 15.02 inches
Reports continue to tell of extensive
damage in all parts of the city. Dur
ing the heaviest part of the storm last
night great holes were dug in the
streets, boulders swept down from the
foothills and dropped along the paved
districts, fences were washed out, trees
and flowers uprooted and cellars filled
with -water. The business part of the
city resembled one great lake and for
a time downtown business men were
penned in their places of business by
the flood of running water in the paved
streets. This morning the pavements
were found covered many inches deep
with, sand and dirt, which the city
street cleaning department has been
engaged all day in removing. All tele
phonic communication with the hotels
and camps in the mountains is cut off.
It is known, however, that what was
heavy rain ln the valley was a fierce
snowstorm with much wind in the
mountains. Today there has been rain
in the mountains again and the moun
tain streams are still torrents. No
word has been received from the sum
mit hotels today, but it is believed that
all Is safe there. Persons who have
ventured a part of the way up the
Santa Anita canyon trail today say
that they found n. number of bad wash
outs and much water from the melting
snow and today's rnln. The telephone
companies "promise to have their lines
to the summit repaired by tomorrow
noon.
Propose Novel Features
The Northwest Improvement sispoela
tion held its regular meeting tonight at
the annex to the Lincoln school build
ing. Many matters of purely local
concern were discussed. The projected
municipal electric lighting plant re
ceived the unqualified support of the
gentlemen present. It Is proposed at
some future date to give a public de
bate upon this important question, with
formal speeches In support of and in
opposition to the plan, in order to
arouse ptihlln interest. ' The association
also expressed itself informally as de
cidedly in favor of tho proposed Arroyo
Seco park, which from its natural loca
tion belongs to the territory embraced
ln the Northwest association. In nbout
three weeks another meeting of the
association will be held, at which time
certain new features decided tonight
will be introduced. A special program
of vocal and instrumental music, with
speeches and other literary exercises
and an informal social gathering to
which the families nf the members are
Invited, will precede the regular busl
ness meeting. President O. T. Nichols

Council Grants Respite
President Hugh Glassell of the Oak
Hill Water company -appeared before
the city council at Its regular meeting
today and secured another delay in the
cancelling of the franchise owned by
that company.- He Informed the coun
cil that he proposes to continue pump-
Ing water from the Columbia well in
slile the city lir..:ts for delivery to out
side users just ns long as he was not
forced to discontinue. He asked per
mission to repair a lenk ln one of the
company's pipes inside the city, but
the council on the advice of the city
attorney refused the permission. Both
the city and the water company are
preparing for ft hard fight over the
right of a private concern to take
water from a Pasadena well for de
livery to parties outside the city. A
number of Interesting petitions asking
for Immediate relief from the storm
water menace were presented to the
council as the immediate outcome of
the big storm of yesterday, but 'no
notion was taken on them. Mayor
Wnterhouse informed the council that
he Is about to leave for Chicago on a
business trip. It Is understood thnt
tho trip will be devoted In part at
least to the study of certain city prob
lems ln which Pasadena Is Interested
and that municipal ownership may lie
one of them.
Says Horse Was Unfit
As Humane Officer slierwln was re
turning from Alhambra tonight he no
ticed a heavily loaded wagon belong
ing to the Eastern Outfitting company
of Los Angeles with n single horse
hitched to it nnd being driven toward
this city at a good round pnee. The
animal was nearly worn out, he states,
and the two young nien on tne loa<l
were forcing It to renewed exertions.
When the rig arrived at the Colorado
street corner Officer Sherwin met it
and examined the hnrse. The furniture
was on Its way to La Pintoresca hotel
nnd the young driver. Charles Smith,
insisted on making his full trip and re
turning to Los Angeles at once. Tim
officer refused to allow this, claiming
that the horse could never stand it.
He ordered the animal unhitched at
once and placed in a stable for the
night. The driver consented when
given the alternative of being arrest
ed. Tomorrow morning he will be al
lowed to proceed If the animal is in
better shape.
