onaKeSpeare ciuD each saturday after
noon has as it's guests of honor some
body OF women or men tn whom the
discussion or paper on the IptRgram will
be Of especial interest. Yesterday af-
ternoon the acting pastors of the city,
accompanied by their wives, were the
welcome guests Of the club women and
shared In the enjoyment afforded by
particularly attractive program. The
Right Reverend Thomas James Conaty,
Catholic bishop Of Monterey and Los
Angeles, was the honored speaker of
the afternoon and among the large
number of men and women present
were many of his especial friends. Rev.
p. F. Farrelly of st. Andrews church
was also a guest and occupied seat
on the platform.
Appropriate to the occasion was the
music arranged for the afternoon. Mrs.
Elmer Grey sang ave Maria" and
Tom Karl, an old friend of Bishop
Conaty, sang with most tender feeling,
There Is Green Hill Far Away"
Mrs. Bliss, Mrs. Halderman and Miss
Bannister gave an instrumental trio
for two violins and the piano. At the
brief business meeting preceding the
program resolutions of sympathy for
the family of the late Mrs. Charles Bur-
ton Scoville, who was an active and
honored member Of the club, were
adopted.
In his introduction to his scholarly
paper on Church Symbolism" Bishop
Conaty said that this was his first gen.
eral engagement since the relief work
for San Francisco had begun. All other
appointments, even several church en-
gagements, had been broken on ac-
count of the pressure of work for the
sufferers in the north, but his promise
to speak before the members of the
Shakespeare club he had been able to
keep. Then in his clear, pleasing voice
Bishop Conaty spoke most interesting
ly on the meaning and prevalence of
symbolism, especially in the literature,
art, music, architecture and cere-
monies of the church. After develop
ing the fullest meaning of the word
itself, the speaker showed very clearly
the close connection of symbolism
with religion even from the earliest
Jewish, Egyptian and Syrian forms.
Down through the centuries briefly but
clearly the enlargement and growing
of the use and meaning OF
religious symbolism was traced. After
speaking OF the deep meaning of church
symbolism today the bishop closed with
a strong plea for an Intelligent under
standing and appreciation of the deep
spiritual meaning Which lies beneath
and back of 1t all.
Next Saturday afternoon will be
given over to the regular business
meeting of the club.
That Marengo Ordinance
The police dragnet caught no more
than three drunk and disorderly to-
day, landing them in the city lookup
until they are sober enough to surren-
der the usual fines.
Dan Gillis was brought in by officer
Longley as being too dead to the world
to move out of the way of hurrying
church-goers and therefore stumbling
block to spiritually minded people.
Officer Schultz performed a like office
for M. G. Flanders late this afternoon,
telephone messages from the vicinity or
Flanders, the northeast section of the
city, complaining of his generally OBJ
streperous conduct. 1t took both Of
ficers Odell and Pierce to pilot Thomas
Morris this evening on his devious
course down Marengo boulevard toward
Hotel de Pinkham. Norris had great
load of intoxicants aboard, so great
that he absolutely refused to be taken
down Marengo except by force, under
the impression that such course
would be contrary to the city ordinance
which provides that no heavily loaded
wagons, drays or other vehicles shall be
allOWeQ
portion." Morris insisted that G.. G.
Brown, when street superintendent a
few months ago, threatened him with
punishment for violating this ordinance
and he didn't propose to take any more
chances.
Harmony Assured
No more distractions will be placed
in the way. of the East Pasadena an
nexationists and the whole question
will now be speedily brought to vote,
both in the east section and in the city
OF Pasadena itself. Complete harmony
has been restored between the city adj
ministration and the representative
citizens OF East Pasadena. Whatever
friction may have existed was undoubt-
edly caused by misunderstanding
which has now been explained away.
The city legal and engineering depart
ments are industriously at work pre-.
pairing the final petitions, resolutions
and descriptions and they will be COM
pleted by the middle of the present
week. The good offices of the board of
trade committee on annexation and
public Improvement were enlisted IN
support OF the scheme and what seemed
likely to be dismal failure seems prob
able now to win in walk. The north
ern boundary of the district to be an
nexed it has finally been decided to
leave at the line originally named in the
east side petitions, 200 feet north of
washington street. East Pasadena as
a. separate entity is likely very soon to
be q thing of the past.
Myers Team Winner
Myers Pasadena baseball team an
nexed today's game at Arroyo View
park by good, consistent playing and
the vociferous and well timed roofing
of the crowd. The visiting team was
the Home Telephone aggregation from
Los Angeles, and they put up a mighty
fine article of baseball from start to
finish. The final score stood: Myers
Pasadena, Il; Home Telephone. 0. At
the opening of the fifth inning the Wis
itors appeared to have the game, the
score standing 8 to 4 in their favor,
but the Pasadena men pulled them
selves together, and, allowing the
Home Telephone men but one more
run, slowly walked ahead. In the
eighth inning the Pasadena players
piled up four runs, the telephone men
going up into the air for time. The
batteries today were Gray and Rick
ard for the Pasadenas; Lyons and
Parsons for the Home Telephone team.
