trade committee to look after the dis
tribution of the Pasadena supplies.
Since the return Of President G. d.
Sargent of the Merchants association,
the work of collection and shipment
has taken a more practical turn under
his advice as to the conditions which
prevail at San Francisco. Referring
to the mooted question of refugees
President Sargent says: pasadena
will get it's share before long, needn't
worry. There are hundred thousand
people in Oakland who are being grad
uaiiy sent 10 convenient points nearer
at hand. The people are still greatly
panic stricken and the chief desire just
now is to get away from San Fran
CISCO" Thus far but two or three refu-
gees have reached Pasadena and these
have been given work and have ac-
cepted it gladly. 1t is intended to keep
the little camp at Tournament park eX-
clusively for women and children and
ladies of the city have fitted up the
tents there with all manner of con-
veniences. Many strangers have ap-
peared on Pasadena streets today and
some of them are considered rather
shady characters, probably advance
specimens of the northern city's tender
loin people. Their presence Is not ut
all welcome and their movements will
be watched with great vigilance by the
the request that all persons asking for
aid as pretending to be sufferers from
the San Francisco disaster be sent di-
rectly to his committee for investiga-
tion. If found worthy systematic as
sistance will be given them and
chance to work. People who can work
but will not or who are believed to be
obnoxious in any way will be promptly
turned over to the authorities and
given chance to serve the county on
the stone pile. Quite number of
church and society plans have been
made for the raising of money to swell
the relief fund. The women of the Firs1
Christian church will sew tomorrow af
ternoon at the home of Mrs. Plank, 413
Cypress avenue, the garments to be
sent north. The young people of All
Saints Episcopal church will give an
entertainment Thursday evening in the
parish house and on Sunday will take
up collections for the relief fund.
Makes Important Claim
Silvio Blanco Garfias, grand nephew
of Marieno Garfias, has discovered a
deed of grant from the republic of
Mexico to his great uncle by which he
lays claim to $4,000 acres of land to the
north and northeast of Pasadena He
is in the city consulting Assemblyman
J. A. Goodrich as to what steps will be
necessary to establish this claim in the
courts. According to his statement he
found the old Mexican grant in trunk
with other papers left by his great
uncle some six years ago in the City of
Mexico and since that time has been
working to establish the certainty of
the alleged chain of title. The papers
in his possession show that in 1S43,
shortly after a similar grant of rancho
San Pasqual to his brother Manuel,
Ia
government gave Don Mariana Garfias
a grant of land for himself, consisting
of eleven sitias (47 699 acres) north and
east of the old rancho San Pasqual,
land now taking in both Mount Lowe
and Mount Wilson and much valuable
land to the east, now worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars. 1t is asserted
that Don Mariana Garfias never relin-
pushed his ownership of this property.
The claim is in one manner or another
to be determined by the courts,
Death Was Accidental
After a brief and none too searching
inquiry coroner's jury this forenoon
declared that Joe Kennedy came to his
death accidentally by being struck by
a Santa Fe train Monday night, no
blame attaching to the railway COM
pany or any of it's employees. d. s.
Kennedy, brother of the deceased, Mar
shall 0. c. Berdie of Arcadia, Henry
Schenh and Frank w. Osborn of Area
dia and James Norman of MonroVia
We're examined, their testimony bring
ing out nothing except the fact that
Kennedy had been drinking and that
the body when found was lying beside
the railway track. 1t was not deemed
necessary to call upon any of the rail-
way men. although the first informa-
tion concerning the body came from a
train crew at about midnight. The re-
port was passed on to the train dis
catcher at San Bernardino and after
six or eight hours was given to Marshal
Berdie who took help and went in
search. 1t seems highly probable that
Kennedy was under the influence of
iptoxicants and walking on the track
was overtalSen and Killed by one of the
night trains. The body of the deceased
was buried in Mountain View cemetery
this afternoon
