PASADENA SENDS
TRAINL.OAD OF GOODS
TO THE NEEDY

C. D. Sergeant, special representative
of the Pasadena board of trade, re-
turned from Oakland and San Fran
cisco yesterday morning.
Mr.. Sergeant was authorized by his
people to expend $4,000 for provisions
and supplies but it was deemed wise
that a representative should first go
to Oakland and look the situation over
before buying the equipment.
Mr.. Sergeant says that there is
enough of breadstuffs in San Francisco
to feed an army for six months.
"What they needed" he said, when
I left were medical supplies and blan-
kets. The rain yesterday morning
found many of them without under
clothing and coats. There was not an
ounce of quinine in the Oakland camp
when / left
Mr.. Sargeant consulted with Gov
ernor Pardee and the mayor of Oakland
while in the north. He expects to get
the Pasadena supplies, which will be
based on a list made by the commit
tee in charge in Oakland, on the train
today.
Mr.. Sergeant was authorized by the
Pasadena board of trade to bring a
trainload of refugees to Pasadena II
he thought advisable. but the authori-
ties at Oakland advised him not to
do it,.

NEW YORK WOMAN
ANSWERS FIRST
CALL OF DUTY

woman among thousands is Mrs.
r. M. Cavalt of New York city. She
is a fatalist, and while in Oakland
had apartments in the Metropole hotel.
While the plastering fell, believing
that if it was her time to die it would
do no good to go downstairs, she
pluckily stayed in the hotel amid fall
ing plaster and broken walls. The
proprietor of the hotel and others about
1t camped outside.
Mrs. Covalt had expected to be a
guest at the Palace hotel but on her
way was detained at Tracey by the
tanks having fallen on the tracks.
They were stopped at Oakland and
there saw the first of the awful havoc.
For two days Mrs. Covalt and her
woman friend who accompanied her
remained in Oakland and from their
hotel windows watched the fire grad
ually eat its way across the once beau
tiful city.
In their escape from being in the
Palace hotel Mrs Covalt's views on
fatalism have been strengthened.
Their chief concern just now is that
their friends and relatives in the east
do not know of their escape and they
have not been able to communicate
with them. They had ordered Their
mail and money forwarded to the Pal
ace hotel and expected to have beer
there.
Mrs. Covait is a sister of Mrs. Elhu
p. Washburne, who is the daughter-in-
law of the late Elihu B. Washburne
minister to France during the Franco.
Prussian war in 1870.

DOG GUARDS MASTER
FROM APPROACH OF ALL
REsIsTs OFFICERS ATTEMPT TO
ARREST
Police Afraid to Go Close to Drunken
and PROSTATE Body Because Of
Brute's Expressed Enmity - In
Quandary for Half Hour

Standing guard over his masters
drunken and PROSTATE body, Caesar,
the huge st. Bernard dog belonging to
Albert Tailor, defied the efforts of
friend and foe alike to approach the
man. Not only did the dog protect his
master, but the brute saved the man
from a night in Jail.
Tailor began yesterday afternoon a
season of drunken hilarity. By night
full he had accumulated a large and
enthusiastic jag. After walking the
streets for several hours, the ST. Ber-
nard always following close behind,
Tailor sat down in the alleyway behind
Center place. In a few moments the
man had fallen into drunken stupor.
Soon afterward the police found the
man.
1t was then the trouble for the Of
ficers began.
The policeman who sought to make
the arrest walked up to the dog, but
soon retired, for the brute showed two
rows of white fangs and uttered an
ugly growl. Other officers were then
called from the station. The recep-
ton of these was not more cordial on
the part of the dog than that given
the first finder.
Dog Fancier Helps
| At last, after standing around fol
half an hour in hopeless state of per-
plexity, an experienced dog fanciel
happened along. He went close to the
brute, petting and talking to him and
making friends all the time. After a
few minutes the dog allowed the
stranger to pass cord around his
neck.
Tailor was shaken awake and coaxet
to his feet. The dog on seeing his
master arise leaped about and gave
barks of joy. When Tailor was placed
in the patrol wagon the dog leaped II
with him, riding to the station.
Caesar watched gravely every move
ment made by both officers and Tailor
After a severe reprimand from thu
desk sergeant Tailor was allowed hill
| liberty on promise that he would 81
home at once. The dog followed hii
master out of the building, looking
back once as he reached the door, al
much as to say Good night anS
thanks"

Preparations are now being made by
the citizens relief committee for the
establishment of detention camp near
Sepulveda, about two miles north and
west of Glendale. Thirty men on the
chain gang were there at work yester-
day and have all preparations made Tor
the establishment of the camp. All
that remains now is to put up the
tents. w. A. Hammel former chief of
police and sheriff, will be in charge
and will enforce strict orders. He was
unable to secure company M Of River

in and will keep constant guard around
the camp. If anyone attempts to either
enter or leave the camp without per-
mission and does not halt when SO
commanded he will be shot.

The southeast corner of the camp
will be separated from the rest for the
use of the people afflicted with con-
tagious diseases. The rest of the camp
will be used to detain the people who
have been exposed to see whether they
have been taken with disease or not.
If they are not taken i'll after a week s
detention they will be allowed to pass.
1t is the purpose OF the men who are
in charge of the camp to stop all dis
eased persons and all persons who rode
in cars with diseased persons and all
suspicious characters until it is thought
desirable to allow them to enter Los
Angeles.

road station. Near the Southern Pa
cific tracks will be several guard tents.

head of the force of cooks.
Health Board to Act

DELAY FIESTA
UNTIL MAY z
M. & M. ASSOCIATION DECIDES
TO POSTPONE
For the Present the Shriners' Coun.
ellis Meeting Is Indefinitely Put
OFF, but Compromise
Movement Is On

1t has been decided to postpone the
Fiesta until May 21.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the board of directors of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
IN connection with the Fiesta commit
tee held yesterday afternoon.
H. A. Collins, imperial potentate of
the Mystic Shrine, yesterday insisted
on maintaining that the convention OF
the shrine should be postponed until
some future date, but at that time he
had not received the message sent him
Monday by the business men of the
city.
To an urgent appeal of the citizens
relief committee that the imperial coun-
ell be held as scheduled he returned the
following answer:
Il fully appreciate what you say in
your telegram but cannot lose sight OF
the fact that our sister city of San
FL ancisco is laid in ashes. To me, as
head of the order and from the con-
sensus of opinion received, it appears
very unseemly and unwise on our part
to partake of the festivities provided
for us in your cit.r. Therefore 1 ad-
here to my original edict, and while I
regreat the necessity for calling off the
meeting there is no other course open
to me.
"The meeting is postponed to some
time in the future"
Members Will Cooperate
The local Shriners here will take the
question up with those of San Fran
cisco, if Mr.. Collins still remains OBJ
durate, and ask them to join in urging
| that the shrine council be held, as Cali
fornia needs the moral support of such
q movement.
The following speaks for itself:
To the Honorable Board of Relief
| Chamber of Commerce:
| Gentlemen-The executive board OF
| the womens relief committee of the
chamber of commerce are united in the
hope that all preparations for Fiesta
may be continued, thus showing the
entire country that California is still
able to cope with any calamities and
rise triumphant from affiiction to hap
plness and prosperity. Respectfully
submitted,

where they had been placed by parents,
guardians or relatives. 1t is expected
that ifiany of the children will be

children, were received last night. The
women will be cared for at the church.

selves. A dormitory with accommoda-
tions for 100 adults has been fitted UP
with a large dining room.
