THOSE WHO ESCAPED
TELL STRANGE TALES
.Harrowing and Amusing Experiences Were the Lot of
Salt Lake, Utah, April 23.Scores of
Salt Lake people were in San Francisco
at the time of the earthquake and
manv returned yesterday bringing a
mass" of information. E. J. Daly, a mine
owner, escaped with his wife and four
children. He, left the Charlemagne
hotel in his automobile, but the police
made him give it up to carry the
wounded. Nevertheless he says:
"The policing of the city is perfect
under the circumstances, and I want to
give unstinted praise to the chief and
his brave men. "We finally got over to
Oakland and in a half-starved condi
tion entered a restaurant there. Six
of us ate a hearty meal and the check
was only $1.60. We were astonished,
but it is the law among these people
that no more than cost shall be charged
anyone from San Francisco. Finding
our eyes affected by the heat and ashes,
they treated us with more than ordi
nary care. When he finished I asked
for the bill and said: "No, sir, weMr.
charge nothing to the people who come
from that awful trial over yonder."'

One num. at
All Who Survived the Earthquake and FireQueer
Things Seen and Heard in Frisco.
Another arrival describes a number of
queer freaks of the earthquake. In the
midst of ruined four-story buildings
stood a house of three stories which had
been lifted on jackscrows ajid timbers to
make room for another story beneath it.
It stood apparently unharmed by theBruised,
shock. Not a piece of the underpinning
was displaced.
One of the churches on Van Ness av
enue had a mosque-like dome. The
building was blown down, all the walls
falling away but the steel structure in
visible at a distance remained support
ing the dull gray dome which seemed
floating in air like a balloon.
Two theatrical people were in a
hotel in Santa Rosa when the shock
came. The room was on the fourth
floor. The roof collapsed. The woman
was thrown from the bed and both were
caught by the descending timbers and
pinned helplessly beneath the debris.
Thev could speak to each other and
could touch one another's hands, but
the weight was so great that they
could do nothing to liberate themselves.
After three hours rescuers came, cut a
in the roof, and both were re-
hole leased uninjured. The man had in his
room a pocketbook containing $100 and
his card and a pair of cuff buttons. Both
were restored to him before he left
Santa Rosa.
Queer Things People Did.
Among the queer sights witnessed by
this narrator was a lone woman patient
ly pushing an upright piano along the
pavement a few inches at a time, a man
riding a bicycle and carrying a skyeterri
er and a woman lovingly embracing a
Japanese doll.

He also heard a guest berating the
proprietor of the hotel five minutes af
ter the shock because he had not been
wakened at 5 o'clock, according, to in
stiuctions. The guest said indignantly
tlwit he never would stop at that house
again. The house was destroyed.

Many Laughable Scenes.
"There were ludicrous scenes even
in the saddest hours, and I cannot for
get them," said L. E Ryter, a Salt
Lake mining man.
I never saw so many parrots, cana
rybirds, mockingbirds and pet dogs to
gether in my life. I saw a pet dog on
the seat of an automobile, the owner
of which would not stop to take in a
wounded man on the sidewalk.
"One thing will always remain in
my memory. On a pile of rubbish was
thrown the bodv of a man shot thru
the heart, and on his chest was pinned
placard:
'Take warning.'
"It was a most effective way to ter
rorize those who would steal or make
trouble.
A Pitiful Sight.
I met one poor crazy woman who
stopped us to say that they had? killed
her husband and might as well kill
her. Then she changed her cry and
said she was a cow and asked us to
take her away. Our hearts were con
vulsed with pitv, but what could we
_do? We left her talking to the next
""comer and could only hope that those
finally in authority would care for her.
"It was grand to see the spirit of
men who had lost fortunes themselves
in cheering up the poorer ones who had
lest things of no great value. 'Why, I
lost $200,000,' said one. H/Vhat is your
baby carnage to that? Cheer up. I
will all come out in the wash.'
A 550 "Fare.

"The acts of some of the express and
carriage driveis, however, were out
rageous. I witnessed one case in front
of the St. Francis hotel. After
much parley a man got an expressman
to agree to take himself and wife to
the ferrv for $20. A bellboy ran out
and said 'What 'yer doin', that feller
over there's got $50 for that trip.' So
the man had to pay $50 or walk. Hi
wife could not walk so he paid it.''
Forced to Abandon Search.
Dr. George V. Schramm, a young
medical graduate, says:
"As I was passing down Market
street with a new-found friend an
automobile came rushing along with
"two soldiers in it. My doctor's badge,
protected me, but the soldiers invited

into the automobile. He said: I don't
want to ride and have plenty of busi
ness to attend to.' Once more they
invited him and he refused. One of
the soldiers dropped a gun on him and
said: 'We need such men as you to
save women and children, to help fight
the fire.' The man was on his way to
find his sister, but he yielded to the in
evitable. He worked all day with the
soldiery and when released to get lunch
he felt that he could conscientiously
desert to go and find his own loved
ones."
What a Volunteer Saw.
Mr. Sternberger of the firm of New
York stock brokers, Sternberger, Sinn
& Co., is here with his wife, son and
a maid. He was on the fourth floor of
the St. Francis hotel. After hurriedly
dressing he and his family rushed into
Union square.
"We had hardly got seated," said
Sternberger, "when firemen came
along asking for volunteers to take
bodies from ruins just above the hotel.
"There was a ready and willing re
sponse. I was a low building on
which had toppled a lofty one, and all
in the former were buried in the debris.
We heard the stifled cries and prayers
'For God's sake, come this way.' MDh,

flying,' and many others.

dust, terrified past reason, the poor fel

exhaustion. Those that were penned
away below we could not reach and
their seeming far-off cries for mercy and
life will ring in my ears till death."
An Iowa Man's Story.
Charles C. Lanferwiller of Fort
-Dodge, who was at the Grand hotel,
says:
I passed thru Chinatown lust as a
good shock came, and all Chinatown
was in the streets, gesticulating, crying,
running around and acting like a lot of
monkeys. If left to themselves I know
they must all have perished. The au
thorities drove them up the hill and
out of range of the fire. Superstition
mastered them, and all sorts of gods
were produced from all sorts of packets
and joss paper was scattered all along
the way."
Henry Herz, a New York traveling
man, after a terrible experience, made
his eseape and constituted himself a
traveling relief committee. A Sacra
mento he organized a shipment of eggs.
At Reno he set the housewives to bak
ing bread, and in Salt Lake he has
raised a potato fund of $400.
Mr. Herz crossed the bay in a launch.
The boatman asked how much money he
had and when he replied, with a mental
reservation, "$46.60," the boatman
charged him $46.60 and collected the
money in advance.
OSOEOLA MAN'S ESCAPE
F. Burgner Tells of His Experience
in FriBco.
Denver, Col. April 23.Every in
coming train from tfie west brings re
fugees from San Francisco, who tell
harrowing stories of their experiences
aim give graphic descrintions of the
hqrrcrs that fololwed the earthquake
and fire.
"The fiist I remember of the earth
quake was finding myself in the middle
of the floor, where,, with chairs and
othi bits of fnrniture. I had been
thrown," said G. Burgner, a busi
ness man of Osceola, Wis. With his wife
and two daughters he had registered at
the St Francis hotel in San Francisco
the night before the disaster.
""With my family I rushed down
stairs. We pushed our way thru the
crowded streets where every one was
hurrying here and there. Some were
pulling trunks behind them. Bricks
stones and all sorts of debris filled the
roadway and we had a difficult time
making our way to the waterfront An
electric launch Was moored there and on
it we escaped to Oakland.
"The groans and cries of those
pinned under the timbers of the collaps
ing buildings were pitiful to hear and
the worst of it was that nothing could
be done to save them."
OWE LIVES TO A BOY
Messenger Credited with Safe Depar
ture of New York Party.
Colorado Springs, Col., April 23.
Refugees from San Francisco continue
to arrive here. A number came last
night. One party was composed of S.
S. Van Etten, city passenger agent of
the New York Central at Worcester
Mass. Mrs. Van Etten, Mr. and Mrs
H. H. Williams of Riverhead, N I
and Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Wyatt of Fond
du Lac, Wis.
Van Etten was a guest at the Cali
fornia hotel. They escaped from the
building clad only in their night clothes.
I feel that we owe our lives in a
great measure to a 16-year-old messen
taking it clown in my
notebook, succeeded, thru his friend
ship with the captain of a towboat, in
getting him to take us over to Oak
land after myself and two other couples
had tried in vain for several hours to
get some one to make the trip."
Maurice M. Sternberger of the New
York banking house of Sternberger,
Finn & Co., was in the number that
came in from San Francisco last night.
With him were his son George and gov
erness, Miss Van Gester. The party
was registered at the St. Francis ho
tel on the morning of the earthquake,
and, like the others, had a narrow es
cape? All of their effects, including
Mrs. Sternberger's valuable jewels,
worth probably $5,000, were lost.
Odd Place for Her Stocking.
The experience thru which S.
Keenan, a wealthy merchant'of Terre
Haute, Ind., passed thru in San Fran
cisco, he declares turned his hair white
and his nerves have not yet recovered
from the shock of the earthquake. Mr.
and Mrs. Keenan were guests at the
Grant hotel on the night of the disas
ter. They arrived in Colorado Springs
with all their baggage intact.
"My wife and I escaped from our
hotel with hardly any clothing on,"
said Mr. Keenan. "My wife had her
stockings around her neck. After the
excitement of the first shock had sub
sided I returned to the hotel and got
our things and finished dressing. I
succeeded in getting an expressman to
take our trunks to the ferry."
STREETS MOVED LIKE WAVES
Sam Wolf Tells of Escape from Frisco
Perils.
Salt Lake City, April 23.A typical
experience of the disaster of San Fran
cisco was that of Sam Wolf, who
reached this city today. He says:
"My room was in "the Grand hotel.
s^V
When I awakened, the house was
shaking as a terrier would shake a rat.
I dressed and made for the street,,
which seemed to move lik^Kaves of
water.
"On my way down Market street
the whole side of a building fell out
and came so near me that I was cov
ered and blinded by the dust. Then I
saw the first dead come by. They were
piled up in an automobile like car
casses in a butcher's wagon, all over
blood, with crushed skulls and broken
limbs and bloody faces.
Leaps Just in Time.
A man cried out to me, 'Look out
for that live wire!' I just had time
to sidestep certain death. On each side
of me the fires were burning fiercely.
I finally got into the open space before
the ferry. The ground was still shak
ing and gaping open in places.
Women Pray on Streets.
"Women and children knelt on the
cold asphalt and prayed God would
be merciful to them. A last we got
on the boat. Not a woman in that
crowd had enough clothing to keep her
warm, let alone the money for fare.
I took off my hat, put a little
money in it, and we got enough money
right there to pay aft their fares.
I forgot to teil you I saved one of
the women from sure death just before
I got out of the hotel. She was run
ning toward an open window and I
caught her as she was part way out.
'Where are you going?' I asked. 'Oh
I 'was going downstairs,' she an
swered.
Would Have Fallen Fifty /Feet.
"She would have fallen fifty feet
to the stone pavement. She followed
me out on the street, barefooted, and
cut her feet on the broken glass, leav
ing a trail of bood behind her. The
last I saw of her she was on her knees
begging God for mercy on her sinful
soul.''
Charles W. Lawson of Salt Lake
said:
Feared "Time Had Come."
"But one thought seemed to possess
the terror-stricken peoplethat their
time had come. I some way the re
port started that Chicago had suffered
worse than San Francisco, and that
Chicago had been swallowed by
anilluminated
earthquake.''
Mr. Lawson is hysterical at times
and under the care of a physician.
Paid His Hotel Bill.
W. M. Sanders, consulting engineer
of the United States geological survey,
insisted on paying his hotel bill before
he left San Francisco. He says:
Before leaving my room I made my
toilet and packeel my grip. The other
uests had left the house as I hurried
own the lobby. There I met the clerk,
who had rushed in to get something.
I told him I wanted to pay my bill.
I guess not,' he said, 'this is no time
for settlement.'
"As he ran into the office I cor
nered him, paid him the money and got
his receipt, hurriedly stamped."
THE WORK AT OAKLAND
How Refugees Are Cared For in the
Suburban Town.
Oakland, Cal. April 23.Oakland is
caring for 75,000 refugees and is pre
pared for as many more. The height
of the influx has been reached, and the
number is decreasing slightly. More de
partures than arrivals are now recorded.
Requests for free transportation are
investigated aB closely as possible and
all the deserving are sent away.
Women and children and married men
who wish to join their families in dif
ferent parts of the state are given pref
erence. The ^asportation bureau is
on a street corner* where a man stands
on a box and calls the names of those
who are entitled" to passes.
At the First Presbyterian church
1,000 were fed yesterday and 1,000
people slept there last night. Pews
have been turned into beds. Cots were
placed in the aisles, in the gallery and
in the Sunday school room. Every
available inch of space was occupied
by some substitute for a bed. An
emergency maternity hospital has been
established at Emeryville.
John D. Rockefeller has sent money
for the establishment of a new camp,
which will bear his name.

water dripping thru improvised tents.
Wherever possible .women and children
were crowded and huddled into the reg
ular canvass waterproof tents such as
are on hand. Little, however, could
be done, as the facilities are entirely
inadequate to house all the homeless,
and large numbers sought the protec
tion of trees, bushes and a few boards
placed over their heads to ward off the
water.
About daylight a man appeared at
{ng

down his cheeks, asking for some
kind of conveyance to take nis family
from Golden Grate park to some shelter.
He was told that nothing could be dona

Night of Stygian Darkness.
The rain has cooled the ruins and ex
tinguished some of the fires which still
the sky. The night was of
almost Stygian darkness, the silence
broken only by the measured tread of
patrols and sentries and an occasional
shot. Last night for the first time lights
were allowed in the houses, but only
from dark until 10 'clock.
500 .BODIES RECOVERED
Dead in Frisco Are Buried as Fast as
Found.
San Francisco, April 23.The total
number of bodies recovered and buried
up to Sunday night is 500. No com
plete record can be had at this time, as
many bodies have been buried without
permits from the coroner and the board
of health. The searchers of the coron
er 's and board of health departments
found more than twerrty bodies yester
day. They were buried immediately.
A few of these bodies could be identi
fied and the graves were marked by
numbers.
It is impossible at the present time to
obtain any sort of death list or even
to make a reliable estimate of the num
ber of casualties. Whenever a body is
found it is buried immediately without
formality and as these burials have been
made at widely separated parts of the
city by different searchers who do not
even make a prompt report to head
quarters, considerable confusion has re
sulted in estimating the number of cas
ualties. Exaggerated reports have re
sulted.

us to get down and help unload a ship filled with potatoes and provisions. Wo
worked there for two hours before we could go.
Next day we 'got another expressman and started for the ferry. I took
us from 6:30 in the morning to 3 that afternoon and part of the time we were
nearly surrounded by fire. Instead of getting better the flames seemed to get
worse. On either hand they stretched a mile. When we got over into Oakland
and got our train you can believe we were thankful.
"The soldiers, especially the regulars, were a godsend to San Francisco.
They kept the mobs down and did wonders to help the dead and dying. W
saw scores of dead .people and those terribly wounded conveyed to the Presidio.''

San Francisco, April 23.On the stej
of the shattered churches and on th
green slopes of parks and cemeterie
the people of San Francisco yesterda%
assembled at the usual hour's for re'

portunity publicly to express thanks 0
their preservation and anxious for the
words of cheer and comfort that would
carry them thru future trials, the peo
pie assembled in even larger numbef
than is customary. There was no dis
tinction as to sect or denomination, the
gatherings including, as a rule, a large
percentage of the families camping or
residing in the vicinity. Roman Cath

URGENT APPEAL FOR DRUGS
San Francisco, April 23.An urgent
appeal has been sent out for a supply

carbolic acid, bichloride of mercury,
wmm^mHmmm
vacqine points, general antjseptics, for
maldehyde, and cathartics of all kinds,
castor oil, opium in pills, morphine in

Foot-Schulze Name Contest.
Foot, Schulze & Co.'s name contest
was the most interesting ever held in
the Northwest. I is safe to say that
no shoe house in this section of the
country ever received as many ingeni
ous suggestions as has the house of
Foot, Schulze & Co. within the past
three months. Two thousand sixty-one
answers were received up to Saturday
night, April 14th, and they came from
all sections of the United States, a re
markable comment on the extent of the
circulation of the Twin City daily and
Farm papers.
Of the seven papers used in the ad
vertising contest, the replies came from
the following:
"Farm, Stock and Home," Min
neapolis 450
"Dispatch," St. Paul 448
The Farmer St. Paul....... 257
Tribune,'' Minneapolis 244
Journal,''. Minneapolis 191
"Daily News," St. Paul 186
"Pioneer Press," St. Paul 178
No paper mentioned 107
Total 2,061
The contes^ was advertised in the
above papers in January the answers
continued to arrive until the day of the
close of contest, April 14th. So many
GOOD names were received, so many
complimentary things were said about
the FOOT-SCHULZE shoes by the con
testants, and so many very acceptable
and original suggestions we're made that
the firm of Foot, Schulze & Co. feel
that they owe hearty thanks to every
contestant for the ingenuity and good
will displayed and the time and thought
iven to the problem of naming the new
'OOT-SCHULZE $4.00 shoe for men
and the new FOOT-SCHULZE $4.00 shoe
for women.
The names selected are as follows:
Men's shoe, the "FOOT-SCHULZE."
Women's shoe, the "MAID WELL."
There were literally hundreds of
equally good suggestions.
Many of these had to be discarded
because they were already in use either
by Foot, Schulze & Co. or by some other
manufacturers.
Many suggested "Alice Roosevelt,"
"Lady Alice," "Roosevelt," "Long
worth," but these suggestions it was
thought inadvisable to make use of as it
did not seem wise to utilize the names
of the present White House family.

i
San Francisco, April 23.Experts of
the Spring Valley Water company, who
have been engaged in making a thoro

the company has in its reservoirs
enough water to supply the city at the
regular rate of 35,000,000 gallons a
day for a period of 600 days.
The only immediate problem is that
of getting this supply into- the city.
Already pipes have been repaired in
certain sections arid a supply of 7,000,-'
000 gallons a day is coming in thru
Ocean View from Lake Merced. About
1,000,000 gallons of this is being con
sumed daily by Ocean View and the
other towns along the pipelines, but
6,000,000 gallons daily is Teaching, and
will continue to reach, the city proper.
Within a few hours another supply of
6,000,000 gallons daily will be poured
into the city from, College Hills.
This will furnish water to the
northern section of the city. Already
water is being supplied to the Black
Point and Pacific Heights districts, and
with an additional supply of 4,000,000
gallons daily which is assured from lines
that will be repaired within a day or
