LAKE VINEYARD
AND CITY MEET
OFFICIALS AND DIRECTORS AT
LAST CONFER ON WATER
Meeting Means That Negotiations "re
on Again for the Purchase of
Pour Great Plants by
Pasadena
i nn Agency,
l'.ij Ba Str.'»!.
Telephone Main "52.
PASADENA, Nov. 12.— of the
most Important meetings., regarding
municipal ownership of, water was held
this/evening between- the officers - and
directors of nip I'nsadena- liako^. Vine-
y ard i. Mini and Water company, the
largest water rnnipntly In the city; mid
the city officials. This meeting, or the
fact that It Is held * at 'all, Indicate!
that the city has resumed negotiations
with the companies to • secure • the
plants of the several water-furnlshlngr
organisation*. • ■ ■■..-,. .
When all former actions looking to
ward, the .purchasing, of. the plants of
the several companies were rescinded
Home weeks ago by the city council
by ii vote of sto 2 many charged open
ly that the move was simply one to
kill the whole municipal water owner
ship project. The city administration
pleaded that the previous steps for
securing the plants were illegally taken
as .the bonds were voted to purchase
"all of the equipment" of the com
panies, whereas t\Vo of the largest of
the • organizations cannot give clear
title to "all" of their system, as people
living outside of the- city get water
from them and have, therefore, prior
rights. ; ■ ■ • ,-.
Thin contention was made light of In
certain quarters ami the meeting held
tills evening will go a long way to re
agsure the people of th<; city that the
administration Is giving a square deal
in the water matter.
All four of the largest companies
were invited to four separate con
ferences last week and none of the
boards of directors showed up on the
designated nights. This neglect on the
part of the companies was also con
strued to Indicate that the water peo
ple, sore at having the previous agree
•ment for sale fall through, would re
fuse to meet with tho present admin
istration.
As a matter of fact, the various
hoards do not wish to come to a con
ference without first holding a board
meeting to talk things over and settle
on some course of action. The meeting
this evening shows that negotiations
are really on again and for that reason,
while nothing official is given out. the
session Is most important. The other
three big companies will doubtless fol
low the course of the Lake Vineyard
company and attend later conferences.

STRAIGHT FRONT FORACTRESS
In His Opinion Judge Manifests a
Shocking Familiarity with
Women's Corsets
Spenlnl to Tha tterHJU
DBS MOINES, lowa, Nov. 12.—Ac
tresses who refuse to wear tights,
models who are fickle about tho stylo
of their corsets and baseball players
who are. given to jumping contracts
are uphold by the lowa supreme court
In a decifilon handed down recently by
Justice Weaver.
It Is In the case of a corswt company
against Helen ('. Crosby, In which
$10,000 Is demanded because the pretty
in tress broke her contract to pose in
the "curve" corsets at Sioux City and
went to wearing "straight fronts."
The case reached the higher court,
which said that she was entirely right.
Her objection to her contract was that
the company Insisted on an advance,
man whose reputation or character she
did not know. In his opinion Justice
Weaver takes occasion to lament the
decision of another state, which en
joined Lillian Russell from appearing
In one (jompony because,, she had
jumped her contract with another on
the ground that the tights they re
quired her to appear in were too cold.
Justice Weaver sold that court's
action was an "uncharitable conclu
sion." He also refers to the case of
the Philadelphia baseball club against
the far-famed Lajoie, who was com
pelled to bat home runs for Philadel
phia though his heart was centered in
the success of a rival team.
The supreme court of lowa would be
Inclined to give him a free pass. In
writing his opinion the justice goes
Into a lengthy dissertation on corsets,
which discloses he has made a study
of the question at bar.

SUIT CASE ROMANCE
BRINGS ABOUT WEDDINQ
AA A sequel to the suit case romance nt
the Alexandria hotel a few weeks ago
when a beautiful Seattle girl found her
self the possessor of a suit case filled
with masculine appnrel and a New
York club man was confronted with
one filled with lacy question marks DO
came known yesterday when "Mr. and
Mrs, Martin Blackburn, New York,"
was inscribed on the hotel register.
ullful girl :iml n handsome mnn
walked into the Alexandria yesterday
.uhl the fating man asked for a parlor
Htilte.
■■(Vrtfilnly." siiiile.l Clerk Slbbn.ld.
"nnd Miss nronson?" The young WO
mari blushed DAIt s:\Ul nothing. The mnn
wrote Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn on the
rafftlter find turning thr book to Mr.
Blnbald said, "That'l the cxplnnntlon."
They retired to their aparttrrant and
there was surprise among the clerks
and a question mark on every face.
"They Ware, the ones who mixed the
suit cases. I will Just wnger that, and
here thoy have gone and done It," ?ald
one.
"I'll" register wns tnken Into consulta
tion and there n |ipe:i i "<1 the names On
thfl Conner d;\tp, "Mlxs Marlon Hronson.
Seattle," and on nnothe ptirt of the
pnge "Mnrtln lllnckburn of New York."
This clerks recalled the night when
they received two frantic telephone
calls from two people In different parts
of the house who found when they
came to dress for dinner that amah bad
the wrong suit case. Inquiry and a
frnntlc fifteen minutes on the part, of
the clerks, the bell boys and the two
Interested parties revealed that the two
suit cases, both bearing the Initials M.
8., had born exchanged on the wny
from the Southern Pacific depot to the
hotel. It chanced that both Mr. Black
burn anil Miss Bronson had met bo
fore In the east. The New York man,
who had been In San Francisco, was on
his way to Inspect some mining prop
erties in Mexico and the girl, accom
panied by her aunt, Mrs. Jane Simon
son, were coming to Southern Califor
nia for a few weeks' pleasure trip.
On the south bound train from San
Francisco they renewed acquaintance
ship. At the hotel they dined together
and the suit case exchange caused ex
planations. Explanations are apt to
put people on rather friendly terms and
when Mr. Blackburn learned that Miss
Bronson and her aunt were going to
Ooronado he hurried to Mexico and
made it a business to get through with
mines as soon as possible. Cupid had
played havoc with his heart In the few
days he had been associated with the
pretty Seattle girl, and Coronado looked
rftuch more attractive to him than
Mexico.
Everybody who goes to San Diego
goes down to Juana Just to say they
have been over the line, and Mr. Black
burn Invited Miss Bronson and her
aunt to go there with him for a little
trip. How it all happened the two
young people say they don't know, or
if they know they will not tell, but Miss
Bronson, who went over the line, came
back Mrs. Blackburn. The two spent a
couple of days honeymooning at Coro
nado and arrived at the Alexandria yes
terday. They left again last night on
the Owl for San Francisco and from
there they will go to Seattle for a visit
with the parents of the young bride, and
I then on to New York, where they will
I make their home.
"When questioned yesterday Mrs.
Blackburn was loath to say anything
about the suit case episode and she
blushed charmingly when I mentioned
It.
"Just think of that getting into the
paper. It was too terrible for any
thing," then she relented and smiled.
"Yes, we determined to avoid all
chance of anything like that In the
future. We will pack them In one.
"We are going home to break the
news."
They even defy the old saying,
"Change the name and noth the letter,
change for worse instead of better."
INVENTB PACKING DEVICE
OF MUCH MERIT
A packing: device which will revolu
tionize the shipping of California fruits
is what W. R. Stokeley, a grower and
shipper of fruits from St. Augustine,
Florida, now at the Hayward, thinks he
has Invented.
Mr. Stokeley has tried his packing
case in Florida and by means of it
has shipped fruit to Germany and to
London with complete satisfaction.
Much of the California fruit which Is
shipped east is spoiled before It reaches
its destination, but Mr. Stokeley claims
that from 75 to 80 per ri»nt will be saved
by hi* method of. packing. The crates
are round and each plece«of fruit Is
packed In n separate . cell. The boxes
are so nrrnns;pil that thorough venti
lation Is given every bit of fruit and
there can be no bruising.
When the boxes reach their destina
tion they can be cut up Into smaller
packages without repacking and they
make more attractive baskets than the
o IA kind.
Callfornlans are going to test the new
device at Watsonvllle. In nbout ten
day* some of the famous Watsonvllle
apple* will be shipped to London
packed In these crates. V.nrh crate
weighs from 300 to 800 pounds less than
the old fashioned Icrate and economy or
space Is another/advantage.
"I" I have found my experiments entire
ly satisfactory In Florida and I think
the California fruit crop Will reach
the east In much better condition than
at present if packed In these new bas
kets," said Mr. Htokeley.
"I have been shipping fruit for twen
ty yenr» and In that time I have had
no end of trouble with fruit spoiling
b. fore |f roaches Its destination.
"Hefore X came tn California I shipped
some fruit to Oermany and have
learned since that It arrived In perfect
condition."
Beatty Invades the Alexandria
Tlv Alexnndrla hotel reminds one of
Beatty, Nev., Just as present. Not that
the hotel la filled with sand or sage
brush—far be It from me to Insinuate
any such thing — but It Is the people of
Bentty who hnvc transferred them
lelVea for m few days.
D, K. Unyt, proprietor of the famous
Montgomery hotel, nnd Mrs. Hoyt are
both gracing tho Alexandrln and they
nre bent oil doing a lot of business and
having a great deal of pleasure. With
them ar* Mr. and Mrs. Thomas flnilth,
who were married recently at the I^an
kerahim hotel and since then have been
making their home at the Montgomery
In Beatty, where Mr. Smith has min
ing Interests.
Brlce Turner, manager of the Mont
gomery Shoshone mine, Is also of the
party. Mr. Turner Is down on busi
ness connected with the mine and he
also Intends to enjoy some of the
pleasures the mining town does not of

Of army and navy men the Lanker

TEACHERS MUST
PASS HARD TESTS
INFLUENCE CAN NO LONGER
BE USED
Candidates for Position* In the City
Sohools Will Be Choten on
Their Merita and Not
"Pull"
One of the most Important moves
ever made by the board of education
for the good of the service was pro
posed last night when the teachers'
committee recommended the selection
of applicants for positions by a com
petitive examination. The recommen
dation states that neither social nor
political Influence should enter Into
their selection, and that the present
method la defective and unsatisfac
tory.
lv times pnst the exnmlnntlon to
which applicants have been subjected
\v«h very perfunctory. Sometimes a
hundred nnd fifty would have to be
passed npon In two hours, and 'us a
matter of course only a cursory ex
nmin.itlon could be made. Credentlnls
of past work would bo examined, but
the applicant would be subjected to no
mental tests whatever.
Then, too, the question of influence
was a bugbear both to board and up
pllcants. For weeks before the choos
ing 1 of teachers, committee members
and superintendent were subjected to
Importunities for favorites from Influ
ential friends. Dr. Moore Is said to
have declared thnt as far as he was
concerned people could get more from
him by coming In person than by send
ing friends with a "pull;" but still,
large numbers of applicants seemed to
think thnt Influence would aid their
cause, and ho they lined up all their
"big" friends. Under the competitive
system this will be abolished.
Must Be a Graduate
Under the new system, which was
referred to the rules committee to be
acted upon next week, the applicant
must at least have graduated from a
high school and an accredited normal
school. An age limit is also placed,
the rule stating that the applicant
must be not less than twenty nor more
than forty years of age. A year's
successful experience Is also demanded
of the candidate, except in tho case of
kindergarten teachers. Teachers will
be selected by a competitive examina
tion of all uppllcants holding regular
teacher's certificates.
The examination will consist of two
parts, a written test and an oral ex
amination, only those passing the
former being eligible to take the lat
ter. By the examination the commlt
teo hopes to be able to pick out the
best of the applicants.
The written, tests will Include the
general method of instruction, class
room management and discipline,
school hygiene and educational psy
chology, the special alms and methods
of teaching the different subjects and
composition, spelling and penmanship
will also be considered. Later on other
tests may be added.
The examinations will be conducted
by the teachers' committee and the
superintendents. Each member will
prepare a Hat of twelve questions, and
two hours before the teat two questions
from each person's list will be chosen.
These questions will constitute the ex
amination, in like manner care Is to
be taken to guard against favoritism
in marking. The applicant will write
her answer on a piece of paper which
contains only a mark, and not her ]
name. The principals of the schools ]
will pass on the papers, two persons !
marking each paper. The average of I
the two marks will be taken as the
candidate's grade.
Seventy. five Per Cent Necessary
Every applicant who passes the writ
ten examination by a grade of 75 per
cent or more shall be eligible to the
oral examination, which will be con
ducted by the superintendents and
teachers' committee. Each member of
this body will mark the candidate pri
vately, and after the examination Is
over the average of the different marks
will be considered the applicant's prop
er standing. Her name will be placed
on the list of eliglbles according to her
standing.
Thtse competitive examinations will
be held twice a year, the written ex
aminations being held the first Satur
day after April 16 and the first Satur
day of August. At those dates the time
of the oral examinations will be an
nounced.
In order to Inaugurate the new
method at once the committee has or
dered an examination to be held Sat
urday, Dec, 15. Applicants will have
to furnish the board of education a
full statement of their experience as a
teacher not less than twenty days be
fore the examination. At the same time
a list of from three to seven references
to persons competent to speak of the
candidate's character und fitness for
the work will be demanded. The use
of personal, political or social influence
is strictly forbidden. According to the
rule, applicants for positions will huve
to register nut later than Monday,
Nov. 25.
The new measure, while it will entail
a great deal more work und expense,
will, it is believed, operate for the good
of the service, besides removing all
ground for complaint of favoritism.
