PASADENA GOES
ON WITH WORK
OF REDEMPTION

There have been few buster days in
Pasadena's history than today When
with many of the places OF business
closed and the whole people a unit in
hurrying the work of relief for those
suffering from the terrible earthquake
and fire in San Francisco, remarkable
things were accomplished.
From early morning wagons manned
by eager helpers have been making the
rounds of the city gathering together
the peoples gifts of food and clothing
and carving it to the rooms of the
board of trade and other central points.
The manner in which the public has re-
sponded to the call for help is most
remarkable.
Through printed notices and the spe-
c;al edition of local evening paper the
announcement that carload or 1ood
and clothing would leave on the Santa
Fe at about noon was given wide cir
culation. AS a result the hundreds of
willing workers at the board of trade
rooms were all but swamped with con-
tributions. All kinds of equipages were
pressed into service and long before
the hour scores of great boxes were
piled on the platform of the santa Fe
station ready to be rushed into the car.

The same committee secured 600
dozen eggs which were boiled hard in
the Hotel Green kitchens. These prac-
tically nonperishable provisions to-
gether with 500 pounds of best butter
were put on the special train as a por-
tion of the city's contribution. A lead
ing grocery stated that over S25OO worm
of groceries were sold this afternoon to
l., 80, tIof one
business alone for transmission to San
| Francisco.
EARLY this morning other Pasadena
citizens who were in San Francisco al
the time of the earthquake began te
return and many personal messages
were received assuring of the safet9
of others still the north or an the
way home. DR.. z. T. Malaby Was
among the earliest returns and n'
brought with him the comforting as.
surance that he had made the ROUNDS
of ali the temporary morgues in Sar
Francisco UP to last night and that II
his opinion there was not single Pasa
