Few Refugees Coming
A few more refugees from San Fran
cisco reached here today and a few
tramps claiming to be refugees were
warned to get out of the city instant
er. Two men applied to the board of
trade committee for assistance this
forenoon, claiming to be in need of
help as sufferers from the earthquake
and fire. Their stories were plausible
and the men being ready and willing
to work were soon found jobs on a
nearby ranch. Another man making
similar claims was discovered to be a
vagrant who was under arrest in this
city some weeks ago. He was locked
up and later ordered to hike, which he
did. Another man claiming to hail
from San Francisco aroused suspicion
by trying to sell a new bicycle. He
was arrested and on inquiry it was
discovered that the wheel had been
stolen in Los Angeles He gave the
name of William Hennessey and will
be returned to Los Angeles.
The work of sending relief north
ward still goes on. Numerous meetings
are planned for the next few days
at which women will again meet in the
st. Andrews church hall for this pur-
pose. President Sargent will address
them concerning his experiences in
San Francisco and on the needs of the
people there as he saw them. On Sat
urday afternoon the ladies of the local
w. r. G. will meet for a similar pur-
pose in G. A. r. hall. A pressing in
vitation is given everybody to come
or send to these meetings.
Donations are still being received al
the board of trade rooms and prepared
for shipment to San Francisco. II
seems to be generally understood that
Pasadena will not receive many If any
refugees but that the work of extend
ing help to the stricken people in the
vicinity of San Francisco will con-
tinue without intermission.
Mrs. GrnneIPs Little Joke
Mrs. Elizabeth Grinnell, chairman
of the Humane society committee jocu-
larly known as the "trouble committee
because it desires to minister to the
soul distressed rather than to the body
wounded, dearly loves a good joke
Late this evening she telephoned in al
seriousness to some of her friends who
like her are interested in the expected
refugees from San Francisco, and tolc
them that at last one of those needy
personages had come to her house. She
entered into a beautiful argument as tt
the way in which she believed these
refugees should be treated. She tolC
how her refugee showed the marks Of
the terrible earthquake, but that she
believed he was all right, ''in his heat
at least" Feeling that she could trust
the young man and that such was the
way to receive and treat the suffering
ones, she told how she had taken this
one into the bosom of her family anC
intended to give him kindness for kind.
ness and trust for trust She said thai
she believed her kindness was not lost
on the man, for this evening he hat
insisted on going out to milk the COW
for her. When she had her friends
most deeply interested in her refugee
the good woman burst out in hearty
laughter as she explained that the ref.
ugee was her son, Fordyce Grinnell
safely returned from Stanford univer-
sity, where he is a popular and prom
Using student. Mrs. Grinnell is indeed
satisfied with her refugee"
