1oyed by 103 men and officers. After tho

The Searchlight's Service
The great searchlight at Mount Lowe,
which has been a source of interest to
tourists and great drawing card for the
Echo Mountain house and the Mount
Lowe railway, will In day or two be trans
ported to San Francisco to be used as a
help for the defense of San Francisco bay.
Receiver Terrence telephoned today that
nearly all the arrangements for the trans
fer have been made. On account OF the
property being in the hands Of receiver,
the permission Of the superior court must
be secured. This will be done tomorrow.
The government corrows the big search
light, which can be trained on the bay and
Golden Gate and prevent any Spanish ves-
sci from entering unobserved at night. The
history of the instrument Is familiar to
Pasadenans. At the time Of its construc-
ton it was the largest searchlight in the
world, and 1t did duty during the World $
fair after which 1t was secured by Prof.
r. s. c. Lowe and mounted at Echo mount
ain. The government simply borrows It,
so that it may be returned when the war
Is over.

The board of trade met tonight and
adopted two resolutions. One of them was
favoring the holding of the grand lodge

rectors of the Pasadena board Of trade,
that, whereas, Company I, N. G. c., of
Pasadena is about to leave us at their
countrys call, we hereby extend to them
one and ALL the good wishes of the board
of trade and its hearty appreciation of
their valor and patriotism, and the board
stands ready to render any assistance in
its power whether they are protecting our
home coast or in camp in foreign land

luton tomorrow morning at o'clock, when
the company assemblies. Standing commit
tees for the year were chosen by the board.
A Lost Lady
Mrs Priscilla Miller, aged 76 years, was
picked up on the street today by Officer
Pinkham, to whom she voluntarily told a
pitiful tale Of the trouble she had had in
coming out to Pasadena from her home in
Newburg, N. Y. Her train was wrecked en-
route and she was somewhat injured, and
still suffers from her injuries. She has
brother named William Hunter, to whom
she was coming. She lost her baggage and
with 1t the address of her brother. Today
she said, between sobs. that she was sick
and destitute and did not know where to go.
She was attended by DR.. Rowland and
was given board and lodging at the Los
Angeles house, awaiting the arrival of her
baggage. When the baggage did arrive this
evening no satisfactory directions could be
found as to the whereabouts of Mr.. Hunter,
though the lady thought the baggage con-
tanned them. Marshal Lacey, however,
thinks Mr.. Hunter resides at Glendale,
where Mrs. Miller will be sent.
