STRANGERS AT
MAN'S DEATHBED
PASADENANS INTERESTED IN
SOLDIER LAD
Widely Known Eastern Relatives of
Man Who Died In County Hos.
pltal Notified of His
Pasadena Agency.
11 North Raymond Avenu*
Telephone Main 1147.
PASADENA, March 26.— A. R. Jor
dan, whose needs charitably minded
Pasadenans have been satisfying for
some months, died Sunday morning at
the county hospital. The body is now
at the undertaking parlors of Ives &
Warren, awaiting instructions from the
east as to its interment.
Jordan was recently discovered at 87
South Fair Oaks avenue ln a deplorable
condition. Although only 36 years old,
he was suffering from an incurable
malady which made him difficult to
handle. The Associated Charities ren
dered him assistance, as did many pri
vate individuals, notably MaJ. Green,
a temporary resident at the Hotel Ray
mond, and the man was finally taken
to the Pasadena hospital and later to
the county hospital, where he died.
It develops that Jordan served hon
orably in the Spanish-American war
and that he has a wife ln San Fran
cisco, from whom he was separated
some time since.
Papers on his person indicate that
his sister is fit the head of the St.
John's academy at Manlius, N. T.,
that one brother-in-law is an editor
of the Detroit Free Press and another
a professor In Harvard university.
It is believed that these relatives will
not allow the body to be Interred in
potter's field when they know of his
death.
Street Car Blockade
The charming absurdity of a single
street car track in the busiest part of
East Colorado street was borne home
to a great many people this atfernoon
by a peculiar blockade at the corner
of Colorado street and Raymond ave
nue. Between Marengo and Broadway
the street car track, which is double
tracked both east and west of the con
gested business section. Is narrowed
to one track. Cars going west must
•wait here until the track beyond is
clear. At 4:30 this afternoon car No.
153, eastbound, met car No. 81, west
bound, at this busy corner, the motor
men of both cars claiming the right
of way, and as neither would give way
street car traffic was suspended for
some time. Another car came up and
automobiles and carriages, making
their way with difficulty, added to the
mixup.
Patrolman Palmer tried to persuade
one or the other of the disputants to
move, but not knowing Just how far
his rights etxended could not threaten
arrest. The impatient passengers left
both cars and finished the balance of
their journeys on foot, while the mo
tormen sat like statues and glared at
each other. Finally the motorman of
car No. 81 weakened and backed out
of the way and traffic was resumed to
the delight of a suffering public.
Supervisors Here Tomorrow
. . At 10 a. m. tomorrow, weather per
mitting, the county supervisors will
visit this city for an inspection of the
storm water situation of the section to
the north. They will be met as they
alight from the car by the following
committee of prominent Altadena citi
zens: P. J. McNally, F. W. Kellogg,
J. L. Stanham, George Maharry and
J. A. Elms. Carriages will be secured
and the party will set out at once for a
tour of the district. In view of the
devastation made by the riot of storm
water during Saturday no better time
for such visitation could have been se
cured. At Altadena other well known
citizens are expected to join the party
and lunch will be served at La Mari
posa hotel, to be followed by an in
formal interchange of views on the one
important topic of the storm water dis
trict. The necessity of immediate ac
tion will be urged by the Altadenans
and It is believed that it will not be
difficult to convince the visitors that
something must be done and done at
once for the relief of the foothill city.
Committed to Whlttler
"Bud" Lewis, the 47-year-old widower,
who Is determined to marry 16-year-old
Nellie Mundell, caused Probation Offi
cer Dodds of this city to produce the
girl this forenoon in the court of ap
peals at Los Angeles on a writ of
habeas corpus. The court, however,
sustained the previous ruling of Judge
Wilbur, who committed the girl to the
detention home for six months, and the
persistent wooing of Lewis again went
for naught.
Officers of the Pasadena Humane so
ciety, who removed the girl from the
Leach family a few weeks ago and
have been endeavoring to prevent her
marriage to Lewis, decided this after
noon to cause the girl's arrest as an
Incorrigible child. Should this conten
tion be upheld. Miss Nellie Is likely to
be sent to Whittier, which will ef
fectually put an end to the strenuous
courtship of the Crown city man.
Rap for Standard 0117
Standard Oil interests received a rap
this afternoon which will probably add
another trouble to the heavy load of
John D. Rockefeller. Humane Officer
Sherwin found G. D. Terpennlng, driver
for the. local Standard Oil agency, driv
ing a very lame horse hitched to the
delivery wagon and promptly ordered
the animal token to the stables to
remain until the lameness is entirely
gone. The same treatment was ac
corded an animal being driven to one
of the Raab dairy wagons this after
noon. The officers of the Humane so
ciety will not allow people to drive
lame horses when it is possible to stop
it and will appeal to the courts should
such a course be necessary.
Prominent Pioneer Dead
J. J. Trejo, a prominent pioneer of
this county, died this morning' at his
home near San Gabriel. The deceased
had resided ln this county for over fifty
years and was 73 years old. The funeral
will be held Wednesday at the old mis
sion and the Interment at the New Cal
vary cemetery at Los Angeles.
Campaign Warming Up
South Pasadena will hold its annual
city election on Monday, April 9, and
a very brisk campaign is already on.
There promises to be heated contests
over the choice of trustees and city
clerk. City Clerk Hlnckley consented
to stand for re-election if there was no
opposition, but-at the last minute an
other man entered the race and*taow
the wires are getting hot as the f rlenVJs
of each get down to work. Local condi
tions make the choice of trustees very
Important Just now and the different
factions are already busy.
Crown City Notes
:Dr. George E. Abbott has called a
meeting of the commute on organiza
PART ill',;
tion of the Presbyterian Men's club for
Tuesday afternoon at the church.
The season's rainfall has passed the
21-inch mark as a result of the recent
storms. Mount Wilson reports a sea
son's rainfall of 37.61 inches. The
latest reports of damage come from
the new tracts to the northeast of the
city.
The dispute between the local board
of trade and the publishers of Paclflo
Monthly over the recent special number
and local advertising has been amicably
settled by the publishers agreeing to
discount their bills to the advertisers
50 per cent.
Mrs. Dora S. Hendricks, aged 60 years,
died this morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Herbert Udell. She was
the mother of Emmett and William

ORCHARDS ARE BEING
WASHED BY THE STORMS
SAN BERNARDINO VISITED BY
HEAVY RAINFALL
Hay, Grain and Other Crops Making
a Rapid Growth — Many Predict the
Greatest Season In the History of
Southern California
Special to Th ■ Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, March 26.— The
rainfall continues. It is one of the
heaviest for the same length of time
that this valley has seen in a number
of years. The total rainfall for the sea
son is now close to the record of last
year, and if it continues tonight this
will be passed.'
No great damage Is being done by the
present storm, though orchards are
being washed in some districts, es
pecially those close to the mountains,
where the grade is heavy. Deep cuts
are made ln places, but on the whole
the storm is very much less destructive
than the one of a week ago, when very
heavy damage resulted everywhere.
The Santa Fe is having minor trou
bles on the lines in this vicinity, and
quite serious trouble on the San Diego
line. The Southern Pacific line In the
San Timoteo canyon Is badly damaged,
but trains have not been seriously de
layed, a large gang of men being kept
there to repair any damage that may
be found and to keep the waters turned
from the tracks as much as possible.
All Streams Are High
Considerable water is coming down
from the mountains, all streams In this
vicinity being high. A torrent is com
ing down the street from Twin creek,
which has broken its old channel.
However, on the whole the benefit to
the country from these heavy rains will
many times overbalance the damage
done. The rains are insuring one of the
best seasons the state has had ln a
long time, not excepting that of last
year, which was an unusually prosper
ous one.
Grain is now making a very rapid
growth, as is also hay and other spring
crops, and it is freely predicted that
this year's crop will be the greatest in
the history of Southern California.
The superior court, Judges Oster and
Bledsoe sitting en bane, today affirmed
the conviction of William Baxter to 100
days in the county Jail and to pay a fine
of $100 for battery. The case involved
the validity of that portion of the city
charter which creates the police court
in place of the old recorder's court.
The validity was attacked by Baxter's
attorneys, but is upheld by the court,
which states that the intent of the
charter framers is plain in every way.
110 attempt was made to claim any
especial irregularity In the proceedings,
the appeal simply being based on the
question of the authority of the court
to act in the matter.
Cannon Expected Soon
The two large cannon donated to this
city by the government, to be placed on
either side of the soldiers' memorial
monument in the city park, will arrive
here this week from the Benicia arsenal
in San Francisco. The guns are of the
parrot type and weigh in excess of 5000
pounds each. They will at once be
mounted, the expense being met from
the funds of the Monument associa
tion. After the guns have been placed
the completion of the funds for the
monument will be taken up so that it
can be erected this year if possible.
"Forty Thousand" day will be ob
served Thursday of this week by the
two lodges of Odd Fellows of this city
and the Colton lodge. Grand Master
W. W. Phelps will be present. The in
itiatory degree will be conferred by
the Colton team on a class of candi
dates and a banquet will follow.
MAY CLOSE SALOONS
PORTION OF THE DAY
SAN PEDRO CITIZENS WOULD
KEEP QUIET SABBATH
Eagles Pay Visit to Los Angeles and
Attend Smoker— Trip to Catalina
Contemplated — Heaviest Rain of
the Season Arrives
Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, March 26.— 1t is re
ported authoritatively today that at
the meeting of the city council to
morrow night the question of closing
the saloons a portion of Sunday, here
after, will be brought up and probably
passed.
It 1b well known that two of the board
are in favor of it and should George
Peck move the action, as he said he
would last week, it will carry.
It is claimed by many that a move
ment of this kind would be of vast
benefit to the city on account of so
many strangers coming here on Sun
day to view the town. Seeing the de
plorable condition along Front street,
where the saloons are located, many
immediately return to their homes with
out going to see the better portion
of the city.
A large delegation of Eagles went
to Los Angeles this evening to attend
a smoker held by one of the aeries ln
that city. Arrangements were per
fected there for a large delegation of
the birds from both cities to go to
Cataltna on April 15 to organize an
aerie there.
The heaviest rain of the season, al
though It lasted but a few moments,
came last night when .87 of an Inch
fell. This brings the total precipita
tion for the year at this place to 11.68
inches.

STORM MAY INJURE
THE APRICOT CROP
FRUIT GROWERS OF VENTURA SO
PREDICT
Nearly 20,000 Acres of Sugar Beets
Contracted For — Large Bean Crop
Assured — Orange Crop Proving
Satisfactory
Special to The Herald.
VENTURA, March 26.— Fruit grow
ers fear the recent wet spell, which
lasted five days, has seriously injured
the apricot crop. N. B. Smith of the
avenue, who is an old fruit grower and
authority upon such subjects, staled
yesterday that nt least one-fourth of
the crop was ruined.
He attributes the loss to the fact
that the young fruit was Just setting
and that many of the dead blossoms
were still clinging to the little apricots.
The continued warm and damp weather
has caused the fruit to rot. In most of
places the prospect was fine, as the
trees were very full of blossoms and
there is still a possibility that the thin
ning of the fruit may prove beneficial
to the extent that the Increase in size
will balance the loss in quantity.
Beans and Beets Plentiful
The bean and beet crop of the county
will be very large. Nearly 20,000 acres
of sugar beets are contracted for and
the young plants are looking fine.
Hay will also be a big crop, but a
rank growth is expected.
The orange crop of the Ojai valley is
turning out In good shape and the price
is far in advance of last season. Grow
ers are receiving $I.F>O per box, deliv
ered at the warehouse. The prevailing
price last year was $1.00 per box. The
association has a new warehouse in
Nordhoff and shipping is being done on
the railroad, whereas heretofore the
bulk of the crop -was hauled to this
city by team.
K. B. Williams, rural mall carrier of
Santa Paula, had a narrow escape dur
ing the recent storm. He attempted to
cross the creek in the Elosto canyon,
when his wagon was washed down
stream. Williams Jumped and at last
caught in some willows. Tho horse
broke lonse and swam to shore
The wagon was completely demolished
and the mall pouch was also lost. For
tunately Williams had the registered
mall ln his pocket, which was saved. A
subscription amounting to $93 was
raised for the purpose of buying a new
wagon.

CONCESSIONS ARE
SECURED BY CITY
DISPUTES WITH PROPERTY
OWNERS OVER
Rights Secured to Water From Un.
derground Flow of Owens River
for a Considerable
Distance
The city attorney has secured what
ha considers a most Important con
cession from property owners ln the
San Fernando valley bearing on Los
Angeles' present water supply.
By this concession, he declares, dis
putes between the city and property
owners in the valley will probaly be
forever set at rest. City Attorney
Mathews Is now in Washington caring
for the city's interests ln the Owens
river case, but he yesterday wired As
sistant City Attorney Goudge to urge
the council to rerommend that the
stipulations of property owners In the
valley be accepted without delay.
The stipulations which are consid
ered so Important to the city are made
by the owners of the Enclno rancho
and the Los Angeles Farming and Mill-
Ing company, and are to the effect that
the city has the right to all water re
sulting from the underground flow of
the river on their land for a distance
of four miles from the river.
This includes the territory recently
surveyed by Superintendent Mulhol
land.
The city attorney sent the follow
ing letter to the council, in which
he showed the importance of these
stipulations and on his recommenda
tion the legal department was author
ized to sign the contract referred to:
Letter to the Council
"With a view of having the terri
tory embracing the underground waters
of the river definitely determined, and
in continuation of the policy inau
gurated by the two suits which have
Just been decided by Judge Glbbs of
the superior court In favor of the city,
two new suits have been brought in
the name of the city against the own
ers of two large tracts extending from
the head of the surface stream down to
the uppermost tract embraced in one
of the above mentioned suits which
have been so decided, one of these
tracts being the Enelno rancho and the
other being the land of the Los An
geles Farming and Milling company
and embracing a frontage on the river
of between five and ten miles.
"The territory embraced In these
two new suits, in which it Is alleged
that the subterranean river flows, was
established by Mr. Mulholland, the su
perintendent of the water department,
and In his opinion includes all of the
land ln which there is any considerable
amount of underground water, the tak
ing of which could in any way affect
the flow of the river, and it has been
stipulated ln the two suits that all of
these underground waters are part of
the river, so that proof of that fact,
which could only be obtained at a
very great expense, has been obviated.
Makes Request of City
"As a corresponding equivalent it Is
asked that the city disclaim any inter
est in the lands outside of the 'zone'
which has been established, which out
side lands are either so far distant from
the river that wells thereon could not
with any degree of probability affect
the river or they are mountain lands
in which. In the opinion of Mr. Mul
hnllund, there is no underflow of the
river.
"It is apparent that the city will be
obliged to some day define the limits
of the 'zone' ln which the underground
waters of the river exist, and I know
of no better method of doing this than
to have it determined by the city's own
engineer, as has been done ln the pres
ent case.
"Even if there was a considerable
flow of underground water outside of
the 'zone,' it could not be extracted
except at an expense which would not
justify its use for extensive irrigation,
and the lands In question doubtless
are more unfavorable for the develop
ment of water than any other point
opposite the river on account of the
character of the material of which
these lands are composed, as demon
strated in the evidence ln the above
mentioned cases, which were tried and
decided.
"It is my opinion that the stipulation
should be granted, and Messrs. Lee &
Scott, the associate counsel of the city,
are also of the same mind, and I there
fore ask authority to enter a disclaimer
as to the outside lands in the above
suits."

CHICAGO, March 26.— John Farson,
banker, and "Bathhouse" John Cough
lin, alderman, have taicen up the More
Color crusade for men. The news that
tailors will insist upon rainbow colors
for men was received by the "Bath
house" without any alarm.
"That's getttn' near the real thing,"
he declared. "But them tailors needn't
think they have got anything new.
Didn't I wear my green dress suit at
Atlantic City? Now, there's no deny
ing that gents' clothes Is too plain
nowadays, but these dogs' head but
tons, carved on gold, or the 'V gold
pieces for buttons, certainly would help
Home.
"Might be pretty expensive to wear
them at the county Democracy dance,
though. Each gent as did would need
a 'plain clothes' man along, sure. You
Bee, with buttons like them, you
couldn't tell then whether the dress
suit was owned or rented. A second
hand clothes man In West Madison or
Ha!sti*ad streets would be too wise to
let a suit with real money hanging to
it for the price of a week's rent."
Mr. Farson, long the advocate of red
neckties, also declared for the gray
evening suit suggested by the dress
reformers.

retary of the Municipal league, stated
that his organization had had a man
present every time the new plant has
been tested during the last sixty days
and he was convinced the garbage cre
matory was all right ln every respect
and could be operated for the amount
set down in the contract.
The plant has a capacity of 200 tone
of garbage a day, although it is not
called on to dispose of more than half
that amount at the present time.
It will completely consume a dead
horse in fifty minutes and the repre
sentative of the Decarie company, who
appeared before the council yesterday
afternoon, strongly recommended that
this course be insisted on ln disposing
of dead animals that had been destroyed
by such contagious disease as glanders.
The practice of converting Infected car
casses Into soap grease, he stated, was
a prolific source of disease.
Clinker Question Looms Up
When the question of whether or not
the Incinerator would make good clink
er arose. It was argued that clinker is
of no use in this country and Is not
worth the cost of handling. The incin
erator Is for combustible material only
and combustible material will not make
clinker.
The ordinance requiring combustible
garbage to be kept separate from non
combustible material, such as discarded
tin cans, pans and other articles of a
similar nature which housewives have a
habit of throwing in their garbage
cans, will be rigidly enforced. The
board of public works has made ar
rangements with one team in each
ward, of the outfits belonging to the
street department, to be used one day
each week for the sole purpose of col
lecting these old cans, bottles and other
non-combustible refuse.
