The country roads are impossible due

BOARD TO HELP

PASADENA WILL DO ITS BEST

Committee Will BE Named to Take
Up the Question Of Annual
Banquet and Yearly
Meeting
Pasadena Agency,
n North Raymond Avenue,
Phones. Sunset 1907, Home 2l2L

PASADENA, March 4.-Directors Of
the Pasadena board of trade this
evening took up two matters Of much
Importance in the Crown city, the en-
tertainment of visiting Shriners next
summer and plans for the annual BAN
quet and annual business meeting of
the organization. Former Mayor VIII
liam II. Vedder and E. d. Neff, the
heads of the local Shriners' entertain
ment committee, appeared to ask CO.
operation from the board for the en-
tertainment of visiting members of the
order.
1t was decided by the directors to
authorize President Bertonneau to
name a committee to cooperate with
the committee of the local Shriners in
seeing that everything possible is done
by Pasadena to make the visitors well
come to Southern California. Ex-Mayor
Vedder said that he anticipates there
viii be as many as 10000 Shriners at
the annual conclave and he anticipates
that several thousand will prefer to
come to Pasadena during their stay in
this section.
President Bertonneau was authorized
to appoint a committee to take up and
report on the details of the annual BAN
quet. The board now has 760 members
and the annual banquet is for this
reason, getting to be a big problem
There is no dining room in Pasadena
which will seat such a gathering about
tables where all could hear the toasts
end so it is probable this year that the
banquet feature will be abandoned.
Instead of a banquet it is probable
that the members will meet in some
selected place at about 9 o'clock there
to listen to four or five speeches. At
the conclusion of the speaking a
Dutch lunch will be served The plan
was worked out successfully last year.
Another question which the commit
tee will have to consider will be the
problem of holding the annual busi-
ness meeting and election on the same
evening as the annual banquet or
divorcing the two meetings. Both
plans have been tried and it seems
probable this year that If the banquet
feature is abandoned both meetings
may take place the same evening.

FIRE HOUSE TOO BIG FOR LOT
Commissioners Would Buy Adjoining
Property-Chief Pinkham to
Police Horse Show
Special DO The HeraId.

PASADENA, March 4.-Matters in
connection with the extension of the
fire department came up for conside-
ration at the late afternoon session of
the city commissioners today. The
most important matter was the adop-
tion of a recommendation that the city
council purchase twenty feet off from
lot of the ]. w. Gilman tract. This
lot adjoins the site for the new north
side fire house. AS Marengo avenue is
to be widened five feet it was discoV-
cred by the commissioners that the
house designed for the site would lap
over onto adjoining property.
The commissioners have been offered
the twenty-foot frontage they desire
for 500 a front foot and this offer they
recommended the council to accept.
The commissioners also recommended
that the council accept the bid of Daw-
son & Daniels for the construction of
the north side house if that bid is
found to be according to legal form
The firm offered to build the structure
for $10,983.
The commissioners also asked the
council to advertise for bids as per
plans drawn by Architect c. f. Driscoll
for the new northeast fire house to be
built on North Mentor avenue. This
will be one of the finest engine houses
in the city.
Chief of Police Pinkham was author
ized to detail four officers to have
charge with the special police of Tour
nament park during the horse show.
The chief had charge of the policing
at the show last year and he will have
about the same method of handling the
crowds this time.

SHOW BANNER CAUSES FRIGHT
Four Runaways Directly Charged to
FIutterng Advertisement
Streamer Taken Down
Special to The Herald


PASADENA, March 4.-The horse
show inadvertently caused four run
aways today and as the result Chief
of Police Pinkham ordered, or, rather,
requested that the great banner hang
ing across Colorado street be removed.
In the high winds late this afternoon
the banner tore and swayed about in a
manner which caused equine Mysteries,
and four horses not eligible for the
show bolted for their comfortable
homes.
One policeman was dragged a con-
siderable distance in attempting to
stop a runaway and then the chief of
police asked to have the banner taken
in: This the horse show people very
willingly did.
The wind seemed to have it in for
the horse show in more ways than one.
The big tent at Tournament park,
which had been pitched for the show,
was blown down during the afternoon.
In this tent are kept during the show
the handsome vehicles which are to be
exhibited in the ring.

and fell heavily.
Her husband helped her to her feet
and half carried her back home. The

No claim had been filed for damages,
but the lawyers who look after the
city's legal business believed that there
would be one. so Assistant City At
torney Pierce decided to see Mrs. Smith.
He called at the fiat where the woman
and her husband and her mother live.
The young woman came to the door.
He was ushered in, and, after being in
formed that the woman before him was
Mrs. Smith, began to talk.
Mrs. Smith did not want to go to
court. She did not want to sue the city
and have all the newspapers say that
she stumbled and rolled over and over
in the street. She did not want to face
a judge and jury, and have a dozen
lawyers firing questions at her

]. Pluvius, taking advantage of the
absence of the local forecaster from the
office Sunday, sneaked in q storm on
the Angel City inhabitants, and while
they were at church Sunday night let
run his sprinkllng can. Throughout
the night the drizzling showers fell in
termittently, but by a. m. yesterday
only .13 of an inch had fallen. Yes
terday's precipitation was somewhat
heavier, the local Office recording II of
an inch of rain.
The storm moved in from the ocean
and enveloped the entire southwest
section of the United States. The low
area had two centers, one over South
ern California and the other central
over northern Texas. A trace of rain
was reported in San Francisco and in
San Luis Obispo .32 of an inch fell.
The eastern part of the country along
the Atlantic coast and New England
states experienced light snow, caused
by a storm area which was central off
the north Atlantic coast.
Between the eastern and western
storm centers lay an extensive high
area, extending from the Pacific north
west and British Columbia to Florida.
Most of this section enjoyed fair
weather yesterday.
The gently falling rains of yesterday
have softened the roads and in some
of the suburban districts this is caus-
ing unpleasantness, but up to last
night the storms had not been severe
enough to. cause damage to the roads

continuation of the same kind OF
weather for the coming twenty-fouI

During the gale an incomplete cot
| tage at 1005 Dakota street, in Euclid
Heights, went down with crash and
roar that caused neighbors for blocks
around to rush to the scene. The owner
had been experimenting the work OF
building the house and barely escaped
with his life. The cottage was under
construction in the eastern way, hav-
ing the superstructure up and the root
on before any floors were laid. The
gale whistled through it, finally lift

the building. Workmen were at once
put to work entangling the confused
mass of lumber and reconstruction will
begin today.

LONG BEACH, March 4.-The fierc-

years drove the waves over the end of
the outer wharf throughout the day
and the barometer fell to lower point
than it ever has reached before save
once. The pier was not affected by the
storm and no damage to the cylinders
was anticipated tonight by Wharfinger
Baettge.
Several hundred people thronged the
outer wharf this afternoon enjoying the
wild scenery afforded by old ocean and
laughing as they were drenched by the
flying spray. The wind blew about
twenty-five miles an hour all day and
the velocity seemed to increase toward
evening.
All pleasure schooners and fishing
boats scurried to San Pedro last night
to secure the protection of the harbor.
The new steamer City of Long Beach
came over from San Pedro, but because
of the rough sea her trip to San Diego
was postponed.
An uneXplainable rumor was abroad
last night to the effect that the City of
Long Beach had been foundered and
sunk. The origin of the report is un-
known. After returning from a sue
cessful trip to Redondo yesterday the
new vessel returned to San Pedro,
where she lay peacefully in her usual
berth until this morning.
A few small rowboats anchored near
the pier held fast today, rising on the
crest of high waves, then sinking from
sight in the deep riffs. AS far out to
sea as the eye could see great waves
crested with white could be seen rolling
high.
fine driving rain fell almost con-
stantly from morning until night,
bringing the total of the seasons rain
fall up to 12.15 inches, a slight increase
over last years record at correspond
ing date.
considerable amusement was afforded
this afternoon by the spectacle of two
tourists, a man and woman, bathing
