DRIFTING TOWARD EVIL.
BY Juliet v. Strauss,

People think comparatively little
of morality. 1t is thus that abuses
grow. Things are done that one dis
approves of, but he sees that other
people are not criticising that they
seem to be commended by the ma
jority, so he quietly goes ahead,
neither praising nor condemning.
The truth is, each is waiting for the
other to denounce the evil, and so it
wakes strong and hourishes. l think
1T is our duty to speak out clearly

The court house at Redwood City and other buildings collapsed. The suburbs of the towns suffered. Santa Rosa to the north, Napa, Vallejo and all towns around the bay were damag- ed. These reports, alarming as they were, created little interest in San Francisco, where the people were in a frantic state. They did not stop to dress, but rushed out in the streets in their night garments.
 AN ARCHITECTURAL TEST.
 Today's experience has been a testi- monial to the modern steel buildings. A score of these structures were in course of erection and not one of them suffered. The complete modern build ings that collapsed were all flimsy wooden and old fashioned brick struc- lures. The damage by earthquake does not begin to compare with the loss by fire. The heart of the bust ness section of San Francisco has been destroyed by fire. An area of thickly covered ground of eight square miles has been burned over and there is no telling when the fire will be under control
 Mayor Schmitz was about early and took measures for the relief and pro lection of the city General Funston was QulChlN communicated with and before o'clock a thousand federal soldiers were guarding the streets and assisting the firemen in dynamiting buildings.
 EXECUTION OF eHoULS.
 General Funston realized that stern measures were necessary and gave or ders that looters were to be shot on sight. Four men were summarily ex- ecuted before 8 o'clock. At a meeting of fifty citizens called by Mayor Schmitz it was announced that four teen hundred tents would be pitched in Golden Gate park and arrange ments had been made to feed the des- titute in the public squares.

ANOTHER MESSAGE TO FUN

Washington, April IS. - Secretary Taft late tonight directed another message to be sent to General Funs- ton urging him to advise the war de- partment of conditions at San Fran cisco as soon as possible and to do everything in his power to let the pub lie at large know of the actual state of affairs in the stricken city.
 The war department was advised that an officer who has an automobile has consented to make an attempt to reach General Funston at once and carry the dispatches which have accu- mulated at Oakland and could not he sent because of lack of ferry accom- modations. At 11:1O tonight Secre- tary Taft was without any official ad- vices.
 The Western Union has received an other dispatch dated at San Francisco Regarding the wrecking of the insane asylum near San Jose, saying that the ruins took fire shortly after collapse of the institutions and that there were about 100 persons in the building.

Look ing oyer the city from high hill in the western part the flames can be seen rolling skyward for miles and miles, while in the midst of the spout Ing and belching tongues of red fire can be seen the black skeletons and failing towers of the doomed buildings At regular intervals the booming of dynamite tells of the work of the brave army of men that are trying to save the city from complete annihilation

 The chief difficulty has been on the Wind river division of the Yellowstone reserve. in Wyoming. Some of the live stock companies in the region assert that the wolves are increasing so rap idly that the future welfare of the cat tie industry is in serious danger Among the proposals which these con ditions have called forth are that a bounty be offered for the animals de- structien.
