PASADENA, March S0.-At the an
nual business meeting of the board OF
trade on April % the question or
larger and betters quarters for the
Pasadena postoffice will certainly be
broached. For n long time it has been
known that something must be done
soon to relieve present conditions at the
local postoffice and the announcement
that some definite steps are likely to
be taken by the city's trade board VIII
be generally satisfactory There is
strong undercurrent setting IN Tor lts
location somewhere along East Colo
RADIO should the postoffice really be
moved before that hoped-for public
building arrives, residents of the east
ern section insisting that the tide mas
set so strongly in that direction that
the present location or anywhere near IL
is most undesirable. Business interests
and people of the west side Will no
doubt combat this vigorously and IN
sist that it would be unfair to assist
in this population movement toward the
east If indeed there is such an one. by
moving the postoffice in that direction.
The removal of the First Presbyterian
church a full half mile east of It's
present location; the rumor that
Throop institute may locate in the
east or northeast section; similar
rumor that the Y. M. G. AS new To-
cation is likely to be on or near East
colorado street, and now the plan to
Mace the postoffice building in that
same general direction-these rumors
and actual occurrences are not cal
cuIated to make residents of the west
side better pleased at the realty out
look of that section. 1t is even SAID
that the present quiescent state OF the
convention hall proposition is caused
by the belief of many that the original
site on the Carmelita property is now
no longer suitable and that another
site somewhere in the line of eastward
growth must finally be chosen. AT
any rate the proposal to be made IN
fine annual board of trade meeting is
likely to arouse a very lively discus
sion.
A Curious Accident
curious but fortunately not seri-
Gus accident occurred shortly after
noon today at the corner of Center
street and Franklin avenue. A hand
some buggy was being slowly driven up
Center street, a lady and gentleman IN
+be buggy. when a mail carrier crossed
the street before them, as he did so
carelessly opening his umbrella Inc
sudden action startled the horse INTO
FRENZY.
it's hind legs, and, becoming overbal-
anced. turned completely over, alight-
ing suuarely on its back with its head
resting in the buggy between the knees
of the astonished occupants. Inc po-
sition appeared fully as surprising 10
the horse, which found itself unable 10
move in any direction and so lay per-
fectly still. Bystanders rushed to the
assistance of the lady and gentleman
and presently restored the horse to its
accustomed standing, bent the dash
board into place and started the rig on
its way. Aside from a few bruises ana
scratches neither buggy nor horse were
damaged. The lady and gentleman de-
clined to give their names and We're
unknown to those who came to their
assistance.
Saddest in Its History
The funeral of the late Rev. Otto
Anderson was held this afternoon in
the First Congregational church and
was most impressive and solemn
event Rev. r. r. Meredith. the vener-
able pastor of the First church, was
assisted by Rev. John A. Holmes, pas
tor of the Lake avenue Congregational
church-all of whom had labored with
the young assistant pastor OF First
church and whose death was an actual
personal loss. Rev. John l.. Male, |
superintendent of the Congregational
home missions in Southern California,
during the service spoke sympathetic
ally of the work of Rev. Mr.. Anderson.
Rev. Mr.. Meredith delivered the ser
mon of the occasion and spoke out of
a full heart of the great love and
character shown by the young man up
to the very last. The only relative OF
the deceased present was Mrs. P. Q. |
Rinde of Oakland, his sister. The inter
ment was at Mountain View cemetery
by the side of his wife, who had pre-
ceded him only few months. The
service was probably the saddest in the
history of a great church.
Ashby to Resign
1t is announced tonight that Thomas
j. Ashby the popular and efficient
councilman from the First ward, has
concluded at an early date to hand in
his resignation as a member of that
body. He is chairman of the important
committee on streets and alleys and
has been regarded as one of the ablest
and most considerate Of the advisers of
the present city administration. MIR.
Ashby has been spending most of his
time at Playa del Rey because of his
wifes health, which requires a resi-
dence by the sea. and it is understood
that because of this continued absence
from the Clly ne uOeS Ilpl llllllh II du-
Visabe longer to retain his office.
There will undoubtedly be strong ef
forts to cause him to reconsider.
Thrown From Her Horse
Mrs. William German of Chicago, who
is the guest of Mrs. and Miss Scobey
at 1853 North Catalina avenue, was
painfully injured yesterday afternoon
by a fall from horse while she was
horseback riding alone in the suburbs
of the city. In some manner which the
lady is unable to explain she was
thrown from the horse and her shoulder
and one hand painfully crushed. Mrs.
German cannot say whether she was
thrown by the antics of the horse or
became faint and fell. 1t seems prob
able that the animal stepped on her
hand and shoulder after she had fallen
to the ground. A number of society
engagements which had been made for
the present week of Mrs. Gorman's
visit have of necessity been postponed
until she RECEIVERS from her injuries.
