PASADENA, Aug. 31.-Telegrams re-
ceived today from President D. M. Lin
nard of the Pasadena board of trade
are not at all reassuring to his friends
here. 1t appears that he has suffered
a slight relapse and was obliged to re-
turn to the McNutt hospital in San
Francisco, there to endure a second
operation. He is reported to have come
through this ordeal very well, but is
still quite weak. There is now no pos
sibility that he can return to his home
here for week or ten days. A num-
ber of matters of public concern, among
them the local preparations for welcom-
ing Miss May Sutton on her triumphant
return from England, are at a standstill
because of President Linnard's absence.
For this reason, as well as because of
the general hope for his recovery. news
of his condition is being eagerly
watched for.
1t is announced this evening that the
closing committee of the Merchants
association has decided to close the
city's places of business all day on
Labor day. Monday, September 4. The
proper committee of the association IS
also considering some plan for regu-
laiing the drays and public conveyances
of the city. Just now there is line
of carriages and drays standing along
the curb, usually at the corner of
Colorado street and Raymond avenue,
where is kept lookout for customers.
The drivers are good natured and quiet,
but their presence from day to day is
becoming trif1e obnoxious. Some solu-
ton of the problem is being sought, and
when found it will be turned over to
the city council to make operative. A
city dray and cab stand may be deemed
necessary. 1t is also suggested that
the carriages and drays be re-
uuired to stand alongside the Library
park, where the electric cars usually
deposit their passengers.
Plans are being drawn for a fine new
church edifice to be erected at the
southeast corner of Colorado street and
Lake avenue by the Lake Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal church. The present
church building on Lake avenue has
become entirely inadequate for the
growing membership, and Mr.. Brink,
the pastor, says it will be sold and the
proceeds applied to the erection of the
new church. The estimates call for
$4,000.
Pasadena lodge No. 672, B. P. o. E,
has formed an Elks' Denver club for
the purpose of making arrangements
for attending the national session of
the grand lodge at Denver next sum-
mer. A committee consisting of Dr.
Arthur H. Palmer, chairman; S. K.
Sewall and NJ H. Weight has been ap-
pointed to have the entire matter in
charge, and this committee has ap-
pointed other committees, all of which
will meet at the lodge rooms tomorrow
night. 1t is proposed to take at least
100 members and their families on the
trip in a special train. Forty Elks have
enrolled already for the trip.

It has been discovered that the late
Marshal Booher, whose death occurred
in this city last week, carried $4,000
insurance policy in the VToodmen of the
World, his membership being held in
Shreveport, La, his former home. 1t
was not known that the deceased car
ried such insurance until the papers
were accidentally discovered today.
City Attorney Fitzgerald is prepar-
ing and will make public tomorrow a
succinct statement of the attitude of
the city administration upon the water
question and the proposed purchase Of
the local water plants by the city. 1t
is expected that this statement will
finally set at peace the many conflict
ing reports concerning this matter
which have been circulating about the
city for some weeks past.
The rumor that the Rev. Robert j.
Burdette is i'll at New York city and
will not be able to return home for
some time appears to have been a ca
nard. Letters received by the attend
ants at "Sunnycrest," the Burdette
home in this city, say that Mrs. Bur-
dette has been slightly indisposed but
that both she and her husband are now
in good health.
