i'ASADENA. July 6.— Postmaster
Wood was authorized today to cull for
bids for new and more commodious
quarters for the local postofflce.
H. B. Hall, representing the salaries
and allowances division of the postofllee
department, called at the local ofllce to
day and formally went over the ques
tion, Inspecting tha present insufficient
quarters and estimating Just what Is
needed to accommodate the rapidly
growing business of the city.
He believes that the new quarters
should have a floor space of at least
6000 square feet, and he has authorized
the postmaster so to state in advertis
ing for offers.
It Is not believed that the department
would be willing to pay more than $2600
a year rental, although it will demand
for that figure about the best location
and the most complete equipment the
city can. afford.
Postmaster Wood must have the of
fers before July 16, so the time Is short.
It Is understood that cne of the most
promising places for the new office la in
the proposed chamber of commerce
building, now building or about to be
commenced, adjoining the Santa Fe
tracks on East Colorado street.
Will They Consent?
It Is not to be supposed that the busi
ness men of West Colorado street, ad
joining the office as now located, will
. willingly consent to having the office
taken away from them.
It Is understood that In years past
they have done many things to Induce
a parsimonious government to leave the
ofllce in its present cramped quarters,
and It is pretty certain that they will
Immediately get busy again.
* They have never looked with much
pleasure at the quiet shifting of busi
ness to the eastward.
The proposed convention hall on West
Colorado street was intended to coun
teract in a measure this undoubted ten
dency," but difficulties seem to increase
regarding this convention hall, one be
ing hardly out of the way until another
arises.
On July 13 the probate court is ex
pected to pass upon the troublesome
and unexpected bid of F. E. Crawford,
•who raised the city's bid for the Car
melita property and who desires to cut
the tract up Into residence sites.
If the city's representatives— the com
mittee appointed from the board of
trade for the purpose — Is outgeneraled
and the desired site taken away from it
on that date and the postofflce goes to
the east about the same time, as it
Beems likely to do. West Colorado
Btreet will run its flags up at half
mast and put on sackcloth and ashes,
for it will be an irretrievable loss.
"> Crown City Notes

dena Bar association, which was to

LOS ANQHLK3 HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1906.
ADOLPHUS BUSGH
EXTENDS GARDENS
AMBITIOUS PLAN FOR GREAT
PRIVATE PARK
Bed of the Arroyo Seco, West of
Pasadena Mansion, Is Being
Transformed by Great
Force of Laborers
Special to Th« Herald.
PASADENA, July «.— one of the
most Interesting portions of the Arroyo
Seco these heated summer flays Is that
opposite the mnßnlflrent "Ivy Waif
home of Adolphufl' Rusch on South Or
ange Orove avenue at the corner of
Arlington court.
The wonderful gardens Immediately
adjoining the mansion wore never
fresher or ,a more vivid green thnn
they nre now, nnd on Wednesdays and
Sundays, when by the orders of Mr.
Husch thpy nrf thrown open frrply to
the npprpclatlve public, they are
thronged with men, women and chil
dren.
The lornl pollop force Is represented
on these days by one- of (he llnest, but
It In a rare thing lndeefl for any one
to attempt nny sort of vandalism.
On the other days of the week there
la n constant stream of people wending
their wny to theUerrace above the gar
dens to admire from n distance the
brond swppp of magnificent lawn «nnd
brlght-hued flowers. •
But It Is nearer the bed of the arroyo
where things are doing.
A Second Garden
The millionaire brewer owns the
slope and valley clear to the western
side of the nrroyo and here he Is laying
out a second garden, which' Is to be
even more wonderful than the first.
The natural beauties of the nrroyo
are to be accentuated, nnd if the plans
made by Landscape Gardener Frazer
are carried out, and they certainly wlir
bp, here will grow the most marvelous
California garden it is possible to con
ceive.
Alongside the gravel bed of the nr
royo Is being tonbtructed a protecting
wall of rough stone to protect the gar
den from the winter rush of waters.
Each of the splendid live oaks
which abound here is being protected
by rough stone piers, and graceful
driveways and winding paths are being
laid out here and there over the tract.
Rich black soil Is being carted in nnd
replaces the sand and gravel accumu
lated by years of washing and rushing
mountain water.
Plumbers are laying water pipes In
an intricate web under the ground, so
that the projected beds of fern and
bloom and moss and trees may have
abundance of water. •
Between the lower garden and the
terraced hillside of the older garden
runs Arroyo drive to its juncture with
Madeline drive, and as it goes through
the gardens It will be graded and rolled
until It need not be ashamed of its
surroundings.
Orange Grove, Too
A handsome grove of orange tree 3
has been set out in the corner made
by these two drives, , and the dark green
foliage of this -grove will add to the
ensemble of the two beautiful gardens.
No member of the Busch family is
here now, but the work still goes stead
ily forward, according: to the plans
agreed upon by the millionaire philan
thropist and his gardener and architect.
Pasadena in the years to come may
have a great natural garden in the long
Fweep of the Arroyo Seco from Devil's
Gate to the South Pasadena Ostrich
farm as now projected, and this great
garden may be public property and in
its character unsurpassed, but the sec
tion of this great park laid out by Mil
lionaire Busch will no doubt always
remain its bright particular gem.

LEAVES TRAIL OF
DEBTS BEHIND
CREDITORS CLAMOR FOR H. E.
MILLARD'S RETURN _
Affairs of Electrical Establishment
Are in Hopeless Tangle — Books
of Concern Have Disappeared
Along With Owner ■
Special to The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, July 6.— lt develops
that the financial affairs of H. E. Mil
lard, who disappeared last Saturday,
arc in a worse tangle than was at first
thought. .Creditors whose claims
amount to $6000 have already appeared,
and it Is thought there may be others.
Millard announced that he was going
to Los Angeles, on business and noth
ing was thought of his disappearance
until his wife announced that she had
received a letter from her husband
saying- he would not return, as his af
fairs were In too much of a tangle for
him to.evor squaro things.
Mlllard conducted an establishment
In the Hurt block and was a contractor
for electrlcul work. His stock is be
lieved to be worth about $2000, but it is
not known what part of this his credit
ors can get. The books kept by Mll
lard have disappeared. The Redlands
National bank Is a sufferer In the sum
of $350, in addition to local people.
One of, tho largest losers here is F.
Bamberger, a money loaner, who holds
unsecured notes against Millard for
several large sums. On one of these,
for $210, he attached the electrical
stock. Workmen employed by the
electrical men and numerous business
men who cashed checks for him are
also losers. _
Mrs. Mlllard has not lost faith In her
husband and believes that he will yet
return and settle up. Mlllard was, a
prominent worker In the Congregation
al church and has enjoyed the general
confidence of the community up to the
time of his disappearance.

BENEFIT CONCERT A SUCCESS
Miss Yaw and Mrs. Dorn Tender a
Testimonial to Tenor
Hendrick
The concert at Dobinson auditorium
last night, given for the benefit of a
local tenor, attracted a full house.
Then, too, it was more than musical
emotion that was aroused in the audi
ence, for every one present felt 'deeply
In his heart for tho tenor, Charles T.
Hendrick, who Is having hemorrhages
In his eyes and is here with his mother
under the caro of tho doctors.
Mrs. Fred R. Dorn and Miss Taw
altruistically took upon themselves to
give this concert for his benefit.
The first number was thfl well known
Seventh Concerto by do Beriot, which
was successfully rendered by Mr.
Schertziner, who made his first ap
pearance last night. He Is a pupil of
C. Thompson and Shraidllck and plays
gracefully, both from a musical and
technical standpoint.
The well known singer, Mr. Lott,
sang "Hear Me Ye Winds and Waves,"
by Handel. His voice is round and his j
tones manly, but perhaps lacks in the
versatility of dynamic and emotional
effects. He speaks his words out with
resonant articulation which makes his
singing attractive. - v. ;';.
William Edson Strobridge then
played the Schumann Toccata Op. 7.
Mr. Strobrldge's playing is marked by
his bringing out the phrasing and ac
centuation of the minor individual mo
tives. Tho general effect is clear and
therefore harmonious.
Miss Yaw sang Verdi's "Ah! fors'o
lul," from the opera of "Traviata,"
with her usual artistic rendition. Her
sweet face, graceful manners and
pleasing presence always succeed in
eliciting enthusiastic applause upon
her appearance and her high voice is
always an attraction. .
