ASK TRUSTEES TO STOPBATHING SUIT PARADES
PASADENA, Sept. 26.—Pasadena Is Inthe position of having part of its streetlighting done free of charge to the mu-nicipality, but such a condition willnotmaintain long if the board of trade canbring about the change that It desires.
At the time the cluster lights were putup the city was asked -o pay $1200 to-ward their cost of Installation and main-tenance. Instead the city would onlyagree to pay the amount it would saveIn the removal of the arc lamps madeunnecessary by the cluster system.
Since the operation of the municipalplant, however, the council has failed1 tohonor the demand for the lighting bill,and the board of trade is very desirousof having the city take the whole matteroff its hands, as the board Is responsiblefor the entire bill. While the city hasthe necessary power to supply the clus-ters it would necessitate rewiring thesystem and installing transformers, butfirst the board of trade must In someway cancel its contract with the Edisoncompany.
The Edison company refused to wirethe cluster lamps and furnish energy pn-tila contract was signed for a definiteperiod, and it may prove difficult tohave it canceled. In he agreement ofthe city to pay a proportion of the billa clause was Inserted that it would agreeto do so until such time as tho mu-nicipal plant was in operation.

"We respectfully protest against al-lowing the Union Ico company a permitto store snch r- amount of hay In ltabarns, unless the barns are built ofabsolute fireproof materials," said AlexCulver, speaking for himself and others.
"The Union Ice company has asked fora permit to build a barn at 660 South
Alameda street, adjoining our propertyon the south, for the purpose of storingseventy-five tons of »iay.
"We call attention to the fact thatManager .Jullnnch of the Union lee com-pany, as well as ourselves, protestedagainst allowing Mr. Oder to carry hayon a lot adjoining the barn of the UnionIce company, and your honorable body re-fused to grant Mr. Oder such a privilege,so that under the circumstances we fallto see how Mr. Bullfinch can expect toobtain such a permit."
Cites Inconsistency
Strong & Dickinson say: "We do notsee how the board can grant such a per-mit, as it refused W. Oder of the BlackDiamond Coal Supply company, locatedon our property, such a permit less thana year ago and at that time the UnionIce company was one of the protestantaagainst Mr. Oder.
"Unless the Union Ice company wouldagree to build fireproof barns we mustrespectfully protest against granting: suchpermit."
"The Union Ice company people warsprotestants In the casje of Mr. Oder ofthe BlackDiamond company, who wantedto. run a hay yard opposite their barns,and so we cannot see why you shouldgive a permit to them unless they agreeto build a fireproof barn to store theirhay," said Frank M. Warrinton.
Would Violate Precedent
Owners of property in the block areIndustrial Realty company. CommercialWarehouse company, Inc., Carl Leonardt,Union Ice company, Alexander Culveret al, Stelner Investment company, FrankM. Warrinton and Elon G. Fay.
The company seeks to erect a two-storybrick structure, but in the past whenthe Black Diamond Coal Supply com-pany sought to erect a hay shed there
the Union Ice company strongly pro-tested, and It was turned down.
The fire commissioners yesterday heard
from this source and shelved ¦ the ap-
plication for a week at least.
Application by the Union Ice companrto store hay at 660 Alameda street has
aroused protests from nearby property
owners.

Paul Hervleu, the brilliant author of
"The Awakening-" and "The Labyrinth,'
both of whloh Miss Olga Nethersole
'willpresent at the Mason opera house
during her engagement there next
week, was born near Paris September
2 1857. He was the fifth of six sons.After completing his studies he en-tered the French civil service, and in
January, 1880, became an assistant sec-retary in the. ministry of foreign af-
fairs. -^Itwas originally Intended that young
Hervleu should be trained for the diplo-
matic service, and indeed his tempera-
ment was peculiarly constituted to ren-
der him capable of achieving great dis-
tinction in the world of diplomacy.The natural advantages that were his
Included a keen intelligence, a high
and reflective mentality and great dis-
tinction, but his metier evidently lay In
other directions.While he was serving In the foreign
ministry he occasionally contributedto the leading Paris magazines. In the
course of a year or two he was namedftilrd secretary to the French ambassa-
dor InMexico. Almost at the Identicalmoment of his diplomatic promotion
came an offer of the editorship of asmall political Journal near Parlß.
After weighing both propositionscarefully Mr. Hervleu determined toaccept the editorship. That was >the
end of his diplomatic experiences. He
returned to Paris later witha completevolume entitled "Diogenes, the Dog."
His novels soon became the talk of thecity, and In due courser as Is the customwith all French writers, his pen driftedtowafcd the stage, where ina short tenyears he has succeeded In making him-
self the leading French dramatist ofthe modern school, a member of theFrench Academy, and one of the fortyImmortals of France.
Early in February next Olga Nether-sole willplay an engagemenj at theAstor theater in New York city, whereshe will produce still another play,
"The Enigma," by M. Paul Hervleu.She willalso present a dramatic ver-sion of "IPagliacci," made for her by
Charles Brbokfleld, author of "TheBelle of Mayfalr;" "The Rival," madeespecially fot Miss Nethersolo from the
French by Louis N. Parker, and "EnPlongee," a French novelty which MissNethersole saw at one of the vaudevilletheaters in Paris during her engage-ment there the past summer. Thegreat artiste's repertoire in Los An-geles willbe as follows: Monday andFriday evenings and Saturday matinee,"The Awakening;" Tuesday and Satur-day evenings and Wednesday matinee,"Sapho;" ¦ Wednesday evening, "ThoLabyrinth;" Thursday evening, "Car-men."
