FUND IS $545;
OFFER BY PROCTOR,S;
WATERS ARE RECEDING
Board Of Trade Contribute
$50--Consider Benefit at
Theatre on Sunday.
WILL DECIDE TONIGHT

To consider and take action on
the generous offer of the manage
ment of Proctor's theatre to give a
concert Sunday afternoon, the total
door receipts OF which are to be
turned over to the flood sufferers
relief committees, the Board Of Di-
rectors of the Board of Trade will
meet tonight at a special meeting
called by President Joseph E.
Stricken.
At the meeting OF the Board of
Trade In the council chamber of city
hall last night the matter was In
formally discussed and 1t seemed to
meet the approval of the majority
of those present. No action could
be taken in the matter because the
members Of the board present did
not constitute quorum. At the
meeting President Stricken an
nounced that he would today turn
over $50 to those In charge here of
collecting funds for the flood suffer
ers in behalf of the Board Of Trade.
This will be given with the under
standing that it is to be used only Il
necessary for the cause. The action
Is to be ratified by the Board of
Directors later, as Mr.. Stricken
deemed prompt action necessary IN
the matter.
AS there was committee meet
Ing at the boards headquarters in
the American building last night
also, the meeting at city hall was at
tended by only few members. The
committee In session last night were
Investigating the market day prob
lem which interests nearly all the
grocery merchant members Of the
board.
The concensus OF opinion among
the members last night seemed ia
be that a pay concert at the theatre
would not desecrate the Sabbath al
all, considering the cause In which
behalf 1t is to be given. 1t was
pointed out that similar entertain.
ment had been given at Montclair
last Sunday, and some Of the mem
bers stated they believed that such
concert was given here to aid those
made homeless by the San Francis
co earthquake. Whether theb oard
will cooperate with the manage
ment of Proctor's theatre in the mat.
ter will be decided at the meeting oj
the directors this evening.
