SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10.-Almost all of
the Indians of the Pala Indian reserva-
ton, the old Warner ranch Indians
who were taken to Pala by the govern
ment, are homeless tonight and are
huddled in the storeroom and barn at
the station. This afternoon the reser-
vation was struck by the most severe
windstorm that was ever experienced
in that section of the country. The
government, It will be remembered,
housed the Indians that were tran
sported there from Warmers ranch in
portable" houses brought out from
New York. and in the storm Of today
they proved their right to the name,
for the wind took them bodily off the
reservation or lifted them into the air
and smashed them onto the ground
again in kindling wood. Almost the
only buildings left standing on the
reservation tonight are those which the
agent has erected since his arrival and
the agents family have had to find
shelter off the reservation in structures
more solidly built than the government
put up.

TO ANNOUNCE COMMITTEES
Personnel Will Be Made Public by
Cannon Today
By. Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Speaker
Cannon will announce the committees
of the house tomorrow. This will prac-
tically complete the organization of the
popular branch of the fifty-ninth con-
gress. The committees appointed will
meet during the week fer organization,
the appointment of subcommittee and
the assignment to them of pending
measures.
In due time the subcommittee will
report to the full committees and they
in turn to the house. In this manner
The wheels of legislation will be started.
With the long session ahead, however,
no important results are expected until
after the holiday recess. The apprO-
priations committee, which perhaps
has the heaviest task to perform, will
first consider either the Legislative or
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill. But the outlook is that neither of
these measures will receive committee
attention before the holidays.
That there will be no lack of legis-
latve propositions is indicated by the
1868 bills which have already been in
troduced in the house since the open
ing of this session. Many of these are
known as private bills affecting only
individual interests.
The holiday adjournment. II is be-
lieved, will be fixed on as Thursday. De-
cember 81. Leaders are disposed to eX-
pedite consideration of the Philippine
tariff bill and hearings will undoubted-
ly begin soon as the ways and means
committee has organized.

JOKE ON THE UNEMPLOYED

cants to Home of Civil Service
Commissioner
BY Associate ted Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-Some
heartless joker played cruel joke to-
day on about 200 individuals who are
seeking places under the coming mu-
nicipal administration. Postal cards
were sent to each one to call today at
the residence of Civil Service Commits
sioner Williams in Sunnyside and Sc
lect his office
From 1 o'clock until nearly p. m.
there was an almost unbroken pro-
cession of callers at the Williams
home. Williams himself, having
learned of the affair during the morn
ing, very wisely left for parts un-
known. leaving his wife to interview
the visitors, and Mrs. Williams was
kept busy answering the repeated
ringing of the bell and assuring those
who rang It that the whole thing was
a joke.
The holders of the postal cards did
not take kindly to the idea that they
had been made the butts of joke
and were hard to convince that there
was nothing doing" Several i'm
promptu Indignation meetings were
held in the vicinity of the house.

NEWPORT, R. J., Dec. l0.-While
the Nantucket South Shoal llghtship
No. 5S. chained to a spot far out in the
Atlantic, was plunging about today In
the severest storm so far this season,
a leak was discovered in the fire room
compartment which let in the water so
steadily that when wireless commune
cation ceased at $3.50 o'clock this after
noon the fires had been extinguished
and the vessel was helpless.
As the lightship, which is a relief
vessel. and which went on the station
only five days ago, Is equipped with
five water tight compartments. it Is
believed tonight by the lighthouse of
ficials that she will survive the gale,
which at that time was backing into
the northwest. Nevertheless. every
effort was made to go to her assistance.
The Nantucket lightship is anchored
forty-two miles out. She has for many
years been the turning point of steam
ers bound to Liverpool and New York,
and within the past four or five years
has been equipped with wireless tele-
graph. She is commanded by Captain
Gorgison, and carries crew consist
ing of two engineers and eight men.
She also has on board three wireless
operators attached to the navy.
They are Russell Fairbanks, chief
electrician: Charles Blankenship. cleo
trician of the first-class, and William
S. Snyder, electrician of the second
class.
Her first officer is George Acorn of
Boston, her engineer, Stephen Davis of
Fair Haven, Mass, and her second en-
gineer, John Lubby Of Newport.

tember for the purpose of making a
magnetic survey of part of the north
Pacific, is again in port, having sailed

thence here.
For a sailing vessel she has covered
large amount of territory and has
taken many observations. 1t was found
that these observations checked up
quite well with the chart, as made
from estimates from land observations
and old observations taken on wooden
vessels, most of them several years
ago.
The brigantine will remain here in

BARELY ESCAPE DEATH
SEVERAL ARE BURIED UNDER A
FALLING WALL
They Are Knocked Between a Lot OF
Stoves, Which Keep Heavy Tim

Sustains Serious Burns
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1O.-Several
iiremen had an almost miraculous
escape from death while fighting a
spectacular fire which broke out short
" after O'Clock this morning in the
vicinity of the new postofflce al
Seventh and Mission streets The de-
partment had brought the flames well
under control when a falling wall
buried the men under tons of debris
Fellow firemen rushed to the rescue
and dragging aside the debris found
that their comrades had escaped seri-
Gus injury by having been knocked be-
tween a lot of stoves that occupied the
store floor, and that kept the heavy
timbers and other debris from pressing
upon them.
AS it was, some OF the men were
severely injured and were taken to
nearby hospitals.
Mrs. Lulu Casey, a roomer in a lodg-
ing house at Gil Jesse street, where the
fire had it's origin, was seriously burned
in escaping from the blazing building,
from which she was carried by her
husband, Charles Casey. who was also
somewhat badly burned. The woman
was taken to the central emergency
hospital, where she lies in a critical
condition.
OF the injured, Fireman Frank Gar
cia of truck seemed to be worst off,
and he was hurried to the central
emergency hospital, where severe
bruises about the head and body were
administered to. The man had sus-
tanned a bad shock, the physicians said,
but may be expected to escape per-
manent disability of any sort.
Charles Haggeman of truck three
and j. Bowlan and Il. Lindenberger OF
engine fourteen were among the 9TH
ers who were injured.
Lieutenant Joseph O'Brien of engine
twenty-nine had his left hand nearly
severed while tearing down a wall.
George Rogers of 507 Natoma street
fell from a room on Jesse street,
breaking his right arm. The Central
emergency hospital afforded relief to
all these sufferers.
The loss entailed by the fire proba-
bly, will not exceed $4,000.

COMM SSIONER LEUPP MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT
He Offers Several Recommended
Which Are New Features-Sanita-
rum for Thoce Who Are Tubercu-
lar Should Be Erected in the South
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-The neces-
sity for preserving Indian music the
establishment of an Indian reform
school and the erection of a sanitarium
for tubercular Indians are new fea-
lures of the annual report of the COM
missioner of Indian affairs Francis T..
Leupp. The commissioner says that in
pursuance of the general idea of saving
instead of crushing what is genuinely
characteristic Indian, steps have been
taken by him for the preservation
through the schools of what is best IL
Indian music.
THE children should be instructed in
the music of their own race side by
side with ours he states, and with
the end in view he has made an expert
mental start by the appointment of a
supervisor of native music. The idea,
he declares, is spreading most favor
ably.
Commissioner Leupp said that much
good can be done in checking the spread
of tuberculosis among Indians, which
exists to an alarming extent. by the
erection somewhere in the southwest of
an Indian sanitarium. This sanitarium,
the commissioner suggests, should be
in itself a school for children infected
with the disease. This would obviate
their being sent home to serve as CEN
ters of infection.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10. - The
United States cruiser Columbia, carry
ing 135 marines, left League island navy
yard today under the command of
Commander Dowger The cruiser will
stop at Hampton roads and then, ac-
cording to an official statement, will
sail for Panama. The orders at present
read that the cruiser will go directly
to Camp Elliott, Panama, where the
marines are to relieve a squad under
the command of Maj. c. G. Long.
These are the official orders. but the
members of the crew think differently.
They wonder why, for instance, IL they
are going to Panama, that they were
underwear apiece. The members of the
crew were provided with heavy over
coats before they started. too.
Most of the crew belive that when
the cruiser reaches Hampton roads,
there will ne other orders awaiting
her and that they will send the Coluni-
bia 10 the Black sea. The present con-
dtion of affairs in Russia, the crew
believe, warrants the sending of q
bunch of American marines to the
czar's empire to be on hand in case of
any trouble in the vicinity of the Amer
lean embassy.
At Hampton roads the Columbia eX-
poets to take aboard $50 additional
