PASADENA, May 15.— The eigh
teenth annual jubilee meeting of tha
Pasadena board of trade was held to
night at the Hotel Maryland, • result-
Ing In a splendid outpouring of the
city's representative bunlneßs and pro
fessional men. The occasion was vir
tually a celebration of ono of the moat
succeßHful years In the history of the
-organization and took the place of the
annual banquet, abandoned because of
the San Francisco disaster. But the
feeling of sorrow over the mlnfortunes
of a sister ctly would not warrant the
utter ending of a clvlo function which
jin the past years has grown to such
Important magnitude. Tonight's open
meeting wai adopted instead, and was
• undoubtedly . the roost lntereatlng and
profitable municipal gathering of the
present year.
Accommodations were made in the
beautiful dining room of \the Hotel
Maryland for seating over five hundred
people, I and more than - that number
were present, j Across the end of the
room was placed the speakers' table,
against .a background of ferns and
palms, the. beautiful design of the pro
posed Arroyo Seco park, presented to
president Llnnard by the directors of
the board of trade, ■ standing on an
I easel lit by shaded electric lights stand
ing in the center. The Maryland or
chestra occupied places In the rear of
the room and enlivened 'the program
by the playing of national and pa
triotic airs at appropriate times.
•- President Linnard called the assetn
j blage to order shortly after 8 o'clock
and briefly Introduced the master of
ceremonies, Hon. Seward A. Simon?,
, who in turn, in most eloquent phrase,
. Introduced the several speakers of the
evening. I Key. Frank M. Dowllng,
pastor of the First Christian church In
i this : city, Just returned from a two
years' vacation, was the first speaker,
taking the place whtch was to be oc
cupied by Bishop Conaty, who was not
• able to be present. Although called
to an important place at very short
notice, Rev. Dowling filled the position
.eloquently, as became a gentleman. of
■ his cloth, his store of anecdotes and
caustic or witty . comment being al
most, unlimited. He spoke to the sub
ject, "Advance Steps In Our Municipal
Life.": ■
: Pasadena's newly appointed city at
torney, Judge J. Perry Wood, was the
second speaker and his address was in
many respects a remarkable one. He
took as his subject "Pasadena of the
Distinctive Ideal," told of the city's
civic ancestors \of the Indiana colony
and of the life ■ they sought with such
wonderful success to engraft upon the
■infant community, and declared that
.this Is the rule which actuated 'and
still actuates the Pasadena of today,
."No evil thing: Is necessary for Pasa
dena to put up with." At the conclu
1 slon . of a thrilling peroration dwelling
on the possibilities of Pasadena's future
the audience leaped to Us feet with
.three rousing: cheers for Judge ■ Wood
and the ideals which he named for the
• city.
"-. Lee C. Gates of Log Angeles was next
introduced, and spoke brilliantly and
acceptably upon "California's, South
; land." He paid his respects to the en
' tire section and argued for its capacity
to give homes to the multitudes who
are still to come from* the rest of the
country. Ha told of the labors through
' which the Owens rlvef'project had been
carried on to success and closed with a
splendid tribute to the glorious man
hood and womanhood without which
..the southland would miserably fall,
having all else.
Councilman Thomas J. Ashby, whose
J interest in and .enthusiasm • for the
Arroyo Seco park project is well known
in this community, spoke briefly but
'entertainingly of this great project, the
j applause which greeted his words In
dicating clearly how united Pasadenans
are in support of the plan. ' ■
Rev. Robert J. Burdette, the inimit
able humorist and patriotic citizen,
without whose presence and assistance
- so many assemblages would be dull and
uninteresting, was the final speaker.
The hour was somewhat late, but Rev,
Mr." Burdette .was at his best and the
audience was unwearied. He. took as
his subject "A Model Street' of a Model
City,'' and moved the audience . by . his
pathos and wit as he has seldom moved
an audience before. . . .
Following these addresses a few ex
tempore speeches were made and then
an.elaborte buffet lunch was served in
the private dining room of the hotel,
followed- by an hour of social inter
course. ;
- Altadena Fire Protection
Preliminary | steps were taken last
night to secure an adequate fire pro
tection for , the people of Altadena. A
few weeks ago a small house in the
outskirts of the foothill city caught
• fire, and In oplte of the efforts of the
■voluntary bucket brigade, which
I quickly I formed, was completely de
stroyed. Since that time -there has
• been much talk as to how better flre
protection might be secured and
'danger from fire diminished at least.
'The need was variously .used as an
argument for annexation to the city
of _ Pasadena and for Incorporation,
I the first of which would have demand
ed' protection from the larger city and
' the second of which would have ena
bled the village to bond for this pro
tection. Last night was the time for
' the regular monthly meeting of the
Altadena Improvement association,
'which, in lieu of a municipal gov.
eminent, has for a long time handled
,the affairs of the community with con
siderable skill. It was decided to bring
the matter of flre protection before
this meeting. The Uublo Canyon
Water company, which serves the
major 'part of Altadena and vicinity,
voted some time ago to make exten
sive Improvements In Its water plant,
: one ; Improvement being a new reser
i volr. •' Twenty-flve property owners
were present at the meeting of the Im
provement association at the Hotel La
Marlposa and as most of these were
I important stockholders In the Rubio
company ( the discussion of flr« protec
tion became a discussion of the water
company's plans i for extensions and
improvements. It was concluded that
the first step ' toward flre protection
was to enlarge tha efficiency of. the
water company's plant. After an In
•• formal discussion, the association
voted to "request the 'directors of ytha
Rublo company to place a 2,000.000
gallon reservoir on tha height of land
' In . Rublo canyon, and to enlarge and
otherwise improve the - water • mains
.and conduit* so that by the aid of stm
1 l«le auxiliary, flre) fighting apparatus
ordinary Area throughout > the coin
munlyt can be taken ear« of. It wm
the opinion of the n«ntl«m*n 'present
that fti aoon aa thia projected work
l« well under w«y the property own
em shall arrange for tho purchaao of
such appnrfttus as Ik needed. Assured
of th« desires of the principal writer
ug#rs of the community, It is und*>r
stood thnt the Rublo Water company
will sro ahead at once, with Its work
of Improvement and extension.
It wflii aino decided that no more
mmlnits of the association ■will be
held this summer and that the mem
bers wilt aasembta in Beptember nr
October At the call of th« president,
Dr. Garrett N. Newklrk, and Its act»
Ing secretary, Cloyd Guyer.
It la Judge McDonald
nobcrtW. McDonald, former assist
ant city •' Attorney* hn« been appointed
trt the office of police Judge, left vacant
by the resignation of Judge J. Perry
Wood, now city attorney. It was
known yesterday that Mayor Water,
house would certainly fill the vacancy
thU.mornlng but the city hall prophets
were totally at »ea as to whom he
would appoint. A. a Van Etten was
believed by many to be where he could
catch the plum when It dropped, ' In
spite of the fact that he ha» not been
known <v a particular friend of tha
present administration, but It was not
believed that tho former ansistant city
attorney who realgned hla office be
cause the administration would neither
raise hla salary to living figures nor
promote him to the place occupied
by Judge Fitzgerald. However, the
outcome \n deemed a -very politic and
proper thing for the mayor to do and
is being generally applauded. The new
city attorney was prominently men
tioned for this same position at the
time It was resigned by Judge Cong
don a few months ngo and is abun
dantly.fitted for the position. The sal
ary Is only $50 a month, but the work
will not prevent the Incumbent of the
office engaging In his usual practice,
requiring as It does at moat only an
hour or two a day.
Alter Flre District
An Interesting condition of affairs
was developed this forenoon by the
application of the management of the
Hotel Maryland to secure permission
to erect a $40,000 addition to the north
side of tho present hotel. It was dis
covered that the addition, .which Is to
be principally of frame and cement
construction, lacked ten feet of being
outside the city flre district where
such structures are not allowed. The
matter was Immediately taken up with
a view to discover a way to grant the
desired permit. At the meeting of the
city council today It was decided to
shorten the territory included In the
district sufficient to allow the contem
plated addition to be bull, and within
a few weeks this will be accomplished,
although the city attorney has been
asked to report upon the legality of
the step. City Attorney Wood was in
his place at the meeting of the city
council today and gave It as his opin
ion\that the city's Jaw making body
can go right ahead with the regular
business of the city in spite of the
governor's holiday declarations. How
ever, the council decided to allow the
most Important matters of business to
wait another week.
Crown City Notes
South Fair Oaks avenue business
men are seeking relief from peddlers
and street meetings which make that
section ju3t off of Colorado street al
most impassable every evening.
The first regular meeting of the new
ly organized Brotherhood of St. Paul,
which was to have occurred tonight in
the First M. B. church, was postponed
one week because of the board of trade
meeting. .
Residents . of the northwest district
are laboring with the board of educa
tion for the location of the new school
building in that section at the head of
Villa street. The board is noncommit
tal as it Is with reference to the Grant
school location on the east side. ■
Walter C. Bradstreet, a well known
resident of Pasadena, died this morn
ing near Highland. The remains will
be brought, here for Interment and the
Woodmen of the World will have
charge. The deceased was 48 years old
and leaves a wife. Cause of death,
tuberculosis. ~ ■ . . .
It was decided last night to hold the
annual boys' camp of the local Y. M.
C. A. at White's Landing, Catallna
Island, July 2 to 28. It Is probable that
A. Claude Bruden will be selected to
have charge of the camp ' during the
absence of Director . G. W. Braden in
the east.
REPORTS ON RELIEF WORK
Committee Makes Final Statement,
Which Shows Large Sum
>• — > . of Money on Hand
Special to The Herald. ' ,
SAN PEDRO, May 15.— The relief
committee for San Francisco sufferers,
acting with the chamber of commerce,
has filed its report of work done. After
paying all bills connected with the
work and sending a large amount of
both money and goods north, there is
still left in the treasury the sum of $800.
It has been decided to keep this money
here for awhile, or until all possibility
of its need is over. It will then be' sent
to the stricken city. The report states
that thirty-three refugees have been
taken care of by the committee and
employment found for all of them but
five. These will be provided for as soon
as they are well enough to work.
Will Take City Census
At a meeting of the city, council this
evening it was decided to have the work
of taking the city's census begun at
once. City Attorney H. W. Downing
was instructed to. take charge of the
work and employ two or three enumer
ators. It is with the idea of holdlna/an
election for and framing a freeholders'
charter that this move ia to.be male.
The time required for such work to bo
effective will be about six months. It
Is desired to have everything all ready
for the legislature which Is to meet the
first of January.
OFFERS CITY HALL SITE
Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, May IB.— The 'city
council will meet in special session at
9 o'clock tomorrow morning for 'the
purpose of discussing an offer from
Abbot Kinney to present to the mu
nicipality, free of cost, a site for the
projected city hall. The offer comes as
a 'result. of plans for a monster dance
hall being discarded after a foundation
of piling had been prepared for the
structure on the Zephyr avenue side
of the Venice pier.- Mr. Klnney's of.
fer places the site and, foundation,
which Is partly .floored, at the disposal
of the council, for city hall purposes,
on conditions that the structure erect
ed will contain a convention hall ca
pable) of seating several thousand per
sons. A $10,000 bond Issue was recent*
ly voted to cover the cost of a city
hall building and site and this amount
is now available. However, It is a
question whether the money thua
raised can be diverted entirely to the
construction of a building, and - even
then > it is said that the . total amount
would not be more than one-th|rd
enough tO put up such a structure as
Sir. Kinney contemplates.;

STEAMER
Hercules Expected to Arrive In San
Pedro Harbor Today— Wat
Delayed at Ban /
Francisco
Sptelat to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, May 15.— For full thr«e
nights and days hns Captain Hamilton,
the government pilot for this port, re
mained at hia post about three miles
west of the end of the big breakwater
In a small launch, waiting for the arri
val of th« oriental steamer Hercules.
The Hercules was reported to be due
on Saturday night or Sunday morning,
but she failed to appear, and yesterday
It was learned from San Francisco that
she had not departed from that city
until Saturday and had gone what Is
known as "the long way around" li\
coming down, or to the westward of
the Islands, instead of through the
Santa Barbara channel, making it some
two or three hundred miles farther.
There is little use for a pilot here for
vesflela, but all foreign ships are sup
posed to take on one when coming into
the harbor. If the master of a vessel
of foreign charter is well • enough
versed with the channel here to bring
his own craft In he is allowed to do so,
but he must pay the charges of the
pilot Just the same. To collect the fee
the pilot is obliged to be on the spot
when the vessel comes around the point
and offer his services. The pilot Is paid
by the tonnage of the vessel, so that It
stands him well in hand to be ready
when the ship comes in, the pay being
good. It In now definitely stated that
the Hercules will be in here • tomorrow
at the latest.
