PASADENA, Aug. 22--D. M. Ldnnard.
president, and D. w. Coolidge, secre-
tary of the Pasadena board of trade,
sent dispatch this forenoon to United
States Consul Robert p. Mansfield, Val
paraiso, Chile, asking If assistance
would be welcomed and, IL In case II
would be, he would take charge Of the
same.
No answer has yet been received from
the stricken city. But as soon as an
answer comes, IL it be favorable, a
meeting of the board of directors Of the
board of trade will be called to con-
slider the advlsabllity of dlverting a
portion of the remaining San Francisco
relief funds to the aid of the earth
quake sufferers In the South American
republic
IT will be remembered that a con-
siderable sum, subscribed by the gen.
erous people of Pasadena for San Fran
cisco relief work, still remains in the
hands of the local committee It was
retained in the first place with the ex-
pectation that 1t might be used to care
for refugees from the north. A camp
was opened UP at Tournament park and
arrangements made to care for a great
number of people.
But practically none reached the
Crown city, such as did generally be-
ing cared for by friends or being able
and willing to care for themselves at
the various hotels. The money held in
reserve was, therefore, not needed for
this purpose and remained in the hands
of the committee.
From time to time as the need arose
different sums Of money were forward
ed to San Francisco, Santa Rosa and
other suffering cities, and yet con-
sldera BILE sum remains.
The directors consider that the irnme-
diate needs Of the people at Valparaiso
must be pressing and they count 1t as
certain that the generous people of
the Crown city will gladly see portion
Of the relief fund now on hand applied
to this new and urgent need.
AS soon as the proper channel through
which to send the money can be learned
1t is proposed to send $2500 as Pasa-
deans contribution to Chilean relief.

Venice he will have James Blakeslee,

fore him on the charge of riding their
bicycles on the sidewalks. The police
have again begun making arrests about
the city for this offense.

the new Lake Avenue Methodist Epis-
copa1 church building has at last been
settled. The contractor has paid the
wages due the men and peace reigns.
1t is said that the trouble arose over a
dispute between the architect and the
contractor as to the amount of work
completed.
