HUMANE SOCIETY
OPENS. SESSIONS
Delegates viii Endeavor to Sc
cure Next National Conven-
ton for California

PASADENA, Sept. 2O.-One of the
first things done by the second annual
convention of the State Humane as
sociation of California at it's initial
session at Hotel Maryland yesterday
afternoon was to vote unanimously to
Join the American Humane association
and send enough delegates from the
state and local societies to the ma
tionaI convention in Washington, ID. e,
beginning October 10, to bring the next
national meeting to California,
In order to prevent duplication by
the state. society of delegates already
selected by local organizations the
matter was referred to the board Of
directors to report back at later ses-
sion An international humane con-
yention will be held in Washington
at the same time as the national gath
ering and delegates to the latter VIII
be admitted to both.
At Yesterdays meeting a committee
was authorized to draft resolutions to
the memory of the late Major Fred d.
Burnham, retired United States army
officer who at the time of his death
was a director in the association.
In the absence of State President
John Partridge of San Francisco, who
wired he was unavoidably detained in
the north, state Vice President p. L.
C,onger of Pasadena filled the chair.
The reading of reports of officers and
committees took up a large part of the
time at yesterdays session. The re-
port Of State Secretary Matthew Nc
Currie of San Francisco showed a large
amount of humane work accomplished
during the past year The financial
report showed the receipts of the state
society during the year, including the
