trade was held tonight at Woodman
hall and was attended by a very en-
thusiastic crowd Annual reports were
read, suggestions made for the work
of the coming year and officers elected.
The year just past has been the most
active and prosperous in the history OF
this sterling organization, and When
Harry Geohegan moved the re-electlon
of the splendid. representative board OF
directors to another term the members
greeted the suggestion with loud ap-
proval and adopted it without dis
ser,ting voice The directors who were
reelected are D. M. Linnard, A. ].
Bertonneau, S. NJ. Munson, H. c. Hotal-
ing, J. o. McCament, G. D. Sargent and
NJ P. Green. At some later date this
board will meet for organization, al
though the action tonight virtually
means the retention in office of Presi-
dent Linnard and Vice President Ber-
tonneau.
The expected contest over the mu-
nicipal ownership of water problem
did not appear and the entire meeting
was in the nature of love feast Pres
ident Linnard for the board or d1-
ectors extended thanks for the snow
of confidence and briefly outlined the
desires of the officers for continued
cooperation. He stated that In all
probability quarterly meetings of the
entire membership will be held during
the coming year in the hope that by
this means the directors can be Kept In
closer touch with the membership.
Resolutions were introduced and adopt
ed thanking the people for their gen.
erous gifts for the San Francisco suf-
ferers; thanking Director Sargent and
others for special work as representa-
tives of the beard; commencing General
Funston, Governor Pardee, Mayor
Schmitz and the San Francisco general
relief committed; commencing Su-
perintendent of Streets John Boyer for
his remarkable campaign for better
streets in Pasadena, although hampered
by lack of funds, and expressing un-
qualified approval of the matter of
street improvements. The question OF
issuing bonds for continuing these i'm
provements was referred to the board
of directors for such recommendations
as should be deemed expedient Graphic
descriptions of the scenes daily enacted
at San Francisco were given by DR.. w.
E. Hibbard, DIR. H. c. King, J. c.
Brainard and others recently returned
from that city.
Reports were also made by Seward
Simons and C. d. Daggett as to the
situation of the Arroyo park and con-
vention hall projects.

Activity is still unceasing in the work
for relieving the San Francisco earth
quake and fire sufferers, the only ap-
parent difference being that the work
has become more systematized and is
moving with less effort. President
Linnard of the board of trade esti-
mates that something over $4,000 has
been pledged already and this does not
give any idea of the great quantities
of clothing, bedding and other supplies
collected and forwarded by Pasadena
people. Secret societies generally are
making exceedingly liberal contribu
tions, but these are being forwarded to
the governing bodies for immediate
use along special lines. These figures
are not obtainable. The same can be
said of the collections taken in many
of the city churches, only about $4,000
having been reported to the board of
trade committee as the result of yes
terday's collections. 1t is probable that
nearly twice this amount was received
for the relief of the San Francisco peo-
pie. All day yesterday twenty-five
sewing machines and over one hundred
women made garments in the basement
of st. Andrews Catholic church, using
over 800 yards of cloth furnished by
the general relief committee. The mem
bers of the Pasadena branch of the
Needlework Guild of America, of which
Mrs. Frances B. Swan is president.
furnished SSS garments of their own
manufacture. Pins, hairpins, thread,
needles, soap, brushes and combs were
placed in the little bundles, and much
bedding was added to make the ship
ment complete.
Instructions have been sent to the
Pasadena representatives in Oakland to
inspect all the people booked to come
as refugees to Pasadena to see that
none who are sick or infected are put
off here for care. Eaton T. Sans. gem
eral secretary of the local Y. NJ. c. A,
has been chosen to go to San Fran
cisco to look into the refugee question.
Everything is in readiness at Tourna-
ment park for receiving and caring for
those who are sent to Pasadena, but
there are many people who have e,
tered protests against having all sorts
of people sent here. South Pasadena
is somewhat in fear of the big refugee
colony which it Is proposed to locate
in the SpirituaIist camp meeting
grounds, and many people who have
been extremely liberal in their contri-
buttons are beginning to insist that the
general run of the refugees might pos
sibly be cared for just as we'll in similar
accommodations nearer the Bay City.
shakespeare's Birthday
The annual celebration of the birth
day of William Shakespeare occurred
tonight under the auspices of the
Shakespeare club and was one of the
most elaborate and pleasing yet given
by the club. 1t took the form of a re-
cital given by the popular Pasadena
reader. Mrs. Dorothea Hoaglin-Hay-
den, John Norcom Carson, an eastern
actor of note, making his temporary
residence in this city, and the Pasa-
dena Dramatic club. which numbers
among its members couple of profess
sional actors and other good local tall
ent. Scenes were given from Shake
speare's Macbeth" and Richard III"
and the entire single-act play, 'The
Falcon" by Tennyson. The scenes
from Macbeth" included the famous
witch scene and the letter scene. Mrs.
Hayden has studied this part for fif-
teen years and gave a truly artistic
representation of Lady Macbeth, while
Mr.. Carson was very acceptable in the
part of Macbeth. The minor parts
in these scenes were carried by Misses
Mary Phelps, Louise Crawford, Mrs.
Ross Morgan Galbraith, Alfred G.
