PASADENA, Jan. S.-Seven thousand
dollars for new building, $4,000 for cur
rent expenses, total expenditures S12,-
000--this in brief is the financial sum Of
the work of the past twelve months at
the Pasadena children's training school,
a work accomplished by the self-sacri-
flee and devotion of less than 100
women.
The annual meeting of the society
which has charged itself with carrying
on this institution was held at the home
on the corner of Wilson avenue and
Delmar street this afternoon and the
carefully prepared reports of the Of
ficers made public these figures. The
Pasadena Children's Training society
is a voluntary assoCiat ton Of less than
100 public-spirited ladies in this vicin
fly. and their aim is to provide refuge
for homeless children. For the support
of the work they depend upon public
contributions. their own annual dues.
$75 a year for each child allowed by the
state and the little help the parents of
the children can afford. Il cost $1,000
to carry on the institution during the
past year. and this was wisely and
economically expended. For some years
past an annual charity ball has been
given here, and this has netted about
$1,000.
Children Not Orphans
There are forty children now at the
home. leaving room for but eight more.
the capacity of the present buildings
being then reached During tine past
year the average attendance has been
thirty-five. These children are not
orphans. Usually but one parent is
living. and this one unable or untitled
to provide a home for the little ones.
An example OF this was made public
few days ago, when two children were
taken from their drunken mother in
this city and given homes here, where
they will be free from their mothers
unwholesome example. In addition to
this $4,000 the society has built and
equipped a handsome new building for
the accommodation of its charges and
have paid for it's erection $1,000, dedicat-
ing it free from debt.
Some OF the equipment remains un-
paid for, however. New members are
greatly desired and the ladies expect
to enter upon a lively campaign to
secure them thus early in the new year.
The society still has great needs, al
though the twelve months just past
have been most successful, according
to the formal reports of the officers
made today.
The following board of directors for
the ensuing year was chosen at the
meeting this afternoon Mrs. Arturo
Bandini, Mrs. William Stanton, Mrs.
Gertrude Macy, Mrs. Emily A. Macy.
Miss Thomas, Mrs. Elizabeth Bugbee
and Mrs DR.. F. F. Rowland The
board further organized by the election
of Mrs Rowland as president and Mrs.
Bandini as vice president. One week
from today these directors will meet
again and name a board of managers
to consist of twenty-five, and from
these choose a secretary, treasurer and
superintendent. The present supecin-
tendent Of the institution is Miss
Ryman.
Other Changes Likely
1t was announced today from the
office of the Tournament of Roses asso-
alton that a written report from the
chariot race judges relative to the Wig
gins-Ott charges of foul was expected
to appear today. AS far as can be
learned tonight no such report has as
yet appeared. Mr.. Linnard. the only
one of the judges who resides in this
city, states that to the best of his
knowledge no such written report is
forthcoming. He says that the judges
made their formal report some days
ago, when they decided to give first
place to the West four and that as
far as he knows this decision was final.
1t appears that if an investigation as to
the alleged foul is made it is up to the
directors of the tournament associa-
tion. Meanwhile the discussion wakes
more bitter every day between the
friends of West and Virgins. Added
to the charges of foul is now charge
that an attempt to "dope" some of the
horses of one contestant was made be-
fore the races. If all the stories going
the rounds are to be investigated the
tournament directors will need until
the next tournament, and then some.
None of the chariot race prizes has yet
been paid.
