CORY REPORT
CAUSES ROW
MANY CHANGES EXPECTED AS
RESULT
RUMORED GLASS 18 TO BE DIS.
MISSED
Expert Advises Residents of Pasadena
to Spend $200,000 Additional
on Municipal Light.
Ing Plant
Pasadena, A«encr.
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phonei; Runset 1807, Home 2124.
PASADENA, Nov. 7.— The arrival of
Prof. Cory's report on tho light question,
a rumor that Superintendent Glass la to
be dismissed from i the service of the
city and a hurried of the, councilmen
to consider the Cory document were # a
few of the transplrlngs In municipal cir
cles today.
Prof. Cory'i report was found to con
sist of thirty-two pages of typewritten
manuscript. In it he advises Pasadena
residents to expend $200,000 additional on
the municipal plant, and ho Intimates
that Superintendent Glass doesn't know
what he is talking about when he says
the plant can be successfully operated on
less money.
The fact that hoth Prof. Scattergood
and Prof. Cory disagree with Superin
tendent Glass on the amount necessary
to complete the plant probably gave rise
to the report that Mr. Glass was to be
superseded.
"There is absolutely no truth In such
a report,"' said Mayor Earloy when asked
If It were true tonight. "No such action
has been decided upon to my knowledge."
Nevertheless there has been talk for
several days that on account of the dis
agreements between Mr. Glass, and the
mayor the former was slated to go to
make room for some one more In accord
with the mayor's plans. Mr. Glass is an
appointee of former Mayor Waterhouse
and was highly recommended for the
position.
Upon assuming the reigns of municipal
government Mayor Earley called upon
Mr. Glass for a complete report concern-
Ing the light plant, and in It Mr. Glass
recommended an additional expenditure
of $128,496. Not satisfied with this, the
mayor referred the subject to Ezra Scat
tergood, said to be an expert on electrical
subjects. Scattergood recommended .an
expenditure of $195,000 additional.
It has been said that Mr. Scattergood
Is connected In some way with corporate
Interests, and the mayor next referred
both reports to Prof. Cory of Berkeley.
The latter now recommends a further ex
penditure of $200,000. with $50,000 additional
In case conduits are adopted.
Citizens Complain
Citizens who tonight heard the. Cory
recommendation express their belief that
if Mayor Earley could find a few more
experts to figure on the matter the cost
wou.a be boosted to the skies.
"Of course these experts, who are gen
erally in the employ of corporations or
manufacturers, are going to put up the
cost Just as high as they think the city
will stand," said one Interested tax
payer. "It is to their Interest to do so."
In submitting exhaustive' figures Prof.
Cory places the annual cost of operating
a plant such as he recommends at $R6,030
and the annual Income, with commercial
lighting, at $84,000.
For the purpose of keeping down ex
penses Mr. Glass has introduced the
mesh system in the distribution of cir
cuits. Prof. Cory says this will not do
when commercial lighting Is Introduced,
and he recommends Independent connec
tions in sections or districts. This Is an
additional cost, and Mr. Glass says it is
unnecessary at present.
For three hours all members of the
council but one heard the suggestions
read, but no action was taken because of
the absence of Councilman Root. For his
benefit a meeting will be held tomor
row night, when the document will again
be gone over.
Introductory to a mass of statistics in
his report Prof. Cory says:
"If the plant as at present installed
and operated represents an investment of
approximately $150,000, additional electric
light bonds should be voted for $200,000,
providing no underground system Is built.
"If underground conduits are Included
an additional $50,000 should be provided
for the work. These conduits, and partic
ularly the manholes, should be used ex
clusively for electric light and power
cables, and under no conditions should
telephone, telegraph or messenger cables
be allowed in the manholes or extra con
duits of the underground system."
The latter part of the recommendation
knocks a hole in the city administra
tion's plan to arrange to use a portion
of the Sunset Telephone company's con
• dults.
The total cost of the lighting system
without the underground system, if the
Cory report is adopted, will be $350,000.

Ited by Strife— Still Polit
ical Factor
By Associated Press.
HAVANA, Nov. ..—Estrada Paima,
formerly president of Cuba, has author
ied the publication of his views regard-
Ing American intervention. He declares
publicly in favor of American control of
Cuba.
"It is enough to satisfy r.iy conscience,"
he said, "this conviction of having saved
my beloved country from anarchy and
Its natural results of plunder and ruin."
He continued, describing what he con
siders the criminal -cla on the part of
the revolutionists and the necessity to
call on the Americans to prevent a pro
tracted and sanguinary contest.
"If I did right or wrong, time will say.
That my attitude was Justified Is proved
by the sudden re-estr.bllshment of peace
through moral and material Influence of
the Americans.
"I do not hesitate to declare that It is
a thousand times better for our Cuba to
be a dependent political nation where lib
erty Is prevailing than a republic, Inde
pendent of a soverlgn but discredited and
ruined by blasting periodic. I civil strifes."

MUSIC AND FLOWERS
WELCOME VISITORS
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY BE.
GINS SUCCESSFUL SHOW
Many Rare and New Varieties of
Plants, Buds and Ferns Are
Shown at Exhibition
of Organization
The fifth semi-annual exhibition of the
Southern California Horticultural society
opened in Blanchard hall last night under
tuo personal supervision of Secretary
Ernest Braunton.
Strains of music welcomed the new
comer in the hall, the air was filled with
the fragrance of roses and a damp,
"woodsy" odor. A blaze of color greeted
the eye as one paid the paltry "two bits"
required as entrance fee and then entered
upon a long hour of delight.
The display this year Is almost entirely
of cut flowers, although there are some
palms and ferns and tropical plants in
tubs and there is a botanical display
collected from plants growing in the open
about Los Angeles that will prove a
lodestar to the student of floriculture.
The exhibits are arranged on the four
sides of the hall and on a dozen tables
that occupy the floor space. The com
bination display of cut flowers and potted
plants made by Howard & Smith is the
largest in the hall and extends over one
half the length of the room. Here are
about a dozen new varieties of tubrous
begonias— not the plants, but the big
waxy blossoms— and also a curiosity in
the person of a red passion flower that
Is not beautiful but decidedly interest
ing on account of its relationship to the
white beauty that has for so many years
been the only representative of the name.
Here are thirteen varieties of perennial
phlox, and a new dwarf salvia, both we'l
loved denizens in the old fashioned gar
dens of our childhood, and once aga'.n
coming Into popular esteem. Some rare
Japanese evergreens growing In pots ara
worthy especial attention, as are also
several varieties of palms that were raised
from seed, the Klntla Balmoreana and
the Kentla Fosteriana.
The South African daisy also flaunts its
red petals in this exhibit and is much
admired.
Among tho cut flowers displayed by this
firm are noted the blossoms of the peren
nial delphenlum, of a delicate sky blue, a
new type of zinnias of a. strain Just re
ceived from England, and the beautiful
new white rose that Is having such a suc
cess, the Frau Karl Druschky.
An especially fine lot of chrysanthe
mums Is shown from Dr. Walter Jarvls
Barlow's home place In Sierra Madre,
choice roses also being on the same table.
The variety and beauty of the carna
tion display made by the Oceanslde Floral
company is noteworthy as is also their
fine assortment of chrysanthemums. Mlsa
Sara C. Reese's table Is a most attrac
tive one, the Arapahoe nursery display
Including choice varieties 'of roses and
dahlias, and a great cluster of Burbank's
new marigold.
Theodore Payne's display Is In a clas*
by Itself as the vases of sweet peas an.l
carnations, beautiful Indeed, are few.
whlla there are cacti in profusion.
Mrs. R. T. Whittlesey of Boyle Heights
and Ernest Hurny of South Pasadena
each make interesting showings of out
flowers.
Among the most Interesting of the sin
gle exhibits are the two giant specimens
of tropical plants sent by Jacob Dleterlch,
bearing respectively the botanical names
of "monstera deliclosa" and "alocaslo
stenduerelfolla" ; they grow over six feet
tall and, like rubber plants, are exceed
ingly decorative.
A. W. Rosa of Vermont avenue shows
a magnificent specimen of the Whltmannl
fern, a wonderful variation from the com
mon sword fern, and D. W. Coolldge. seo
retary of tho Pasadena board of trade,
exhibits many rare tropical plants, both
flowering and fruiting.
The Redondo Floral oompany has a new
variety of fern, the elegantlsslma, that
is- well worth seeing, and probably the
largest ever seen In this country.
