An Oakland Letter.

Ralph Pruett, of this CITY, re.
ceived letter Tuesday, from
his parents, who reside in Oak
land and were in the earthquake
recently. They stated tha:
nearly all the plastering was
shaken off their house, almost
every dish they possessed was
smashed, the clock was hurled
into the middle of the floor and
broken, all the plumbing was
twisted and put out of working
order, and a general smashing up
WAS experienced by all. The
letter saws that every church,
city hall and public building hao
been converted into shelters for
the refugees who are flooding tbs
city, aud that no church services
were held in Oakland the Sun
day before the epistle was written
The noise of the earthquake is
described as similar to an express
train crossing a bridge, only
that it was much more terrific
and terrible. While the usual
of Oakland is 100, 900

No Pacific Coast Panic.

In certain quarters there ia discussion
as to the effect which the San Francisco
disaster will have upoa the financial
conditions on the Pacific Coast. It is
even thought by some that there is
danger of disruption of Pacific Coast
business, affecting all Pacific Coast
cities, amounting, in fact to at least
mild form of financial panic.
This Apprehension is unfounded. 1t

MRS. BROWNE GOES TOTHE TONES
Held on Charge Of Stealing From Syrian
Woman. Though Mrs. VerrauIt Takes Blame.

Woman. Though Mrs. VerrauIt Takes Blame.
Very much to her surprise and hat Of
her lawyer, Mrs. Izella Browne, Mrs. Bina
Verrault's partner in many ventures now
being probed by police and Federal Of
f~icials, was held yesterday for the Grand
Jury on a charge Of grand larceny by Magis-
trate Steinert in the Tombs court. She
was unable to give the 81 900 bail required;
in fact, she had been 80 sure Of being dis
charged that she had not taken the pre-
caution OF having a bondsman present.
She was sent to the Tombs for the night.
Mrs. Browne was charged by Susan
Rahal, a Syrian, OF 20 Rector street, with
having stolen $3.50 worth OF laces and
Oriental goods.
Mrs. Verrault was present in court. II
was noticed that she wore the Identical
black silk skirt and handsome lace shirt
waist which Mrs. Browne had worn in
oourt the day before, while Mrs. Browne
was much less expensively gowned, being
content With a skirt Of dingy blue andR
lace shirt waist that wa not ever nearly
new.
why, it was I who bought this persons
goods said Mrs. Verrault, smiling at Ma9is-
trate Steinert. I really did not want them,
but she came to me while I was living with
Mrs. Browne and insisted with true Oriental
persistency that l should take them. l
protested that l did not nave all the money,
but she agreed to take SIS cash and the
balance as l could pay il. She said l could
hand her SIS, $40 or even 81 when l felt
like it.
Il nave never refused to pay the woman
and would have discharged the debt long
ago If | had found it possible"
When you nov to your present place,
1928 West Eighty-second street, did you
notify this woman1" asked the Magistrate.
We'll, you seeI was called away to Boston
very suddenly" she said.
Did you ever notify her1" Magistrate
Steinert insisted.
NO, 1 don't recall having done So" said
Mrs. Verrault.
That is all, said the Magistrate.
Gregory Allen, the sculptor-butler In
the several Browne-Verrault establish
ments, undertook to back up Mrs. YER
rault's story. His knowledge, however.
consisted in seeing Mrs. Verrault In the
parlor picking over" the goods. -.

HONOLULU, Aug. 3l.-Hanging on a sharp
rock. with deep water on all sides, the United
states transport Sheridan isin a most critical
position on Barbois Point, at the southern
end Of Oahu island, not far from where the
liner Manchuria struck. Several steamers,
including the revenue cutter Manning, are
standing by ready to remov the passen-
gers and crew, but the work will be attended
with great difficulty owing to the high sea.
At the point where the Sheridan struck
there is no beach. A high bluff lines the
shore except at a few points, 20 that il 10
almost impossible to land the passengers.
On board the transport are over 200 persons.
Fifty are soldiers, 100 passengers and the
others are members Of the crew.
The Sheridan struck at $50 o'clock this
morning. There was a heavy sea running,
but the weather was fairly clear. There
was no panic. The lifeboats were promptly
manned and preparations were made to
leave ship IL necessary. Investigation
showed that it would be impossible TO effect
a landing, and as the vessel was firm on the
rock it was decided by Capt. Peabody to
stay by the ship until daylight. A boat in
charge OF the second officer was launched,
but it was caught in the heavy breakers
and swamped. The crew reached shore
safely.
The Sheridan's machinery il disabled as
a result Of heavy rolling on the rock Coal
is now being thrown over to tighten the
ship. It is not known how badly the vessel
Ia dauna rod hY,N Il fs Iaola rAd NAaN -ka -
leaking 40 badly that she would sink il
pulled OF from the rock into deep water.
1t is evident that the wreck of the Sheri-
dan was caused by the same mysterious
currents which sent the big iner Man
churia TO a resting place on a coral reef a
little further to the north. Capt. Peabody,
however. admits that the vessel was nearer
shore than she should have been. It il
feared that the transport will prove to be a
total loss, although with prompt assistance
there is a bare chance that she can be saved.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 3l.-The mysterious
change of the action Of currents in tho
vicinity of Hawaii, which was responsible for
the wreck Of the Manchuria and the Sheri-
dan, Is puzzling the experts OF the United
States photographic Office. There seems
to AVE been a remarkable increase in the
force Of IN currents. This change sent
the Manchuria on a rock far out Of her
course The Sheridan also was carried
northward of her true course.
Capt. Handlette OF the Spreckels liner
Sierra repeated a. Honolulu a few days
g that his ship had been carried thirty
miles out Of her course in a single day just
before reaching Honolulu. As this change
in the ocean streams was coincident with
the great Chilean earthquake, hydrog-
raphers are inclined to believe the events
were connected. At the time OF the shock
the tides in Hawaii we're greatly affected.

LONDON, Sept. IA st. Petersburg de-

were several successful raids yesterday on
post offices by revolutionists. Consider
able sums Of money were seized. No mer-
chandise ia 10Y forwarded to or from War
saw. and merchants are afraid to travel
thither.
The revolutionists operate in broad
daylight in this way: Five OF six soldiers
are standing before a Government build
ing with loaded rifles ready to fire, when
suddenly each is confronted by a stalwart
youth who points a revolver at each mans
forehead. whereupon the soldiers stand
as though they had been seized with a
cataleptic fit.
While this is going on other rev%olutionists
thoroughly pillage the apartments within
the building. When the operation Is fn-
ished the youths walk backward about
fifteen PAGES. holding their revolvers pointed
at the soldiers and enjoining them TO re-
main inactive. Then they start of on
a run.
The soldiers quickly raise their rifles to
their shoulders. A series Of loud reports in
quick succession are heard, the smoke
slowly lifts and nearly all the soldiers
are seen sprawling on the ground, lead
or wounded, other revolutionists screened
among the spectators having deity shot
them from revolvers before they could
fire at the fleeing youths. The next day
the newspapers announce another robbery
at Warsaw.
