quite indignant over the imputation
of President Roosevelt, in his letter
to Secretary Taft, that no discrimins.
ton should be made in distribution OF
the government relief against the
Chinese, and . vigorous denial of any
intention to do so, was at once trans.
mitted by wire, signed by the Mayor,
the President OF the Red Cross, Prssi.
dent OF the Relief Committee, and all
prominent organizations engaged in
distributing aid TO every human being
that needed it. The Presidents mis-.
judgment OF the people of this Coast

SUPPORT OF FACTS As WELL A. Of

d, gree the views expressed by this
paper, last week, on CONNIE nting upon
the opinion of Prof. Berkeley that
" there can be no possible connection
between the disturbance at San Fran
cisco and the late eruption at Vesuv-
ius,' we note that simultaneously
signs OF eruption were exhibited 10y a
dormant volcano at Palma, Canary
Islands, from whose crater dense vol.

twenty minutes after the terrible
shock at San Francisco, which wrecked
the city, seismic shocks were felt at
Manila; that about the same time, the
temperature OF the water in Hot
Springs. Wyoming, suddenly ran up
twenty degrees higher than ever
known before; that at Grants Pass.
Oregon, severe shocks were felt, the
day before the San Francisco horror,
with the usual rumblings from the
Earth's depths; another shock was re-.
ported from Glendale, in the same
State, and that in Michigan the
next day a severe shock was felt
throughout the city of Hancock, caus-
ing much alarm, and resulted in the
death of one miner and injury to four
others, in the Quincy mines. It
must have been quite wide and vic.
lent slide of the Earth's crust" that

Ruth Bryan Leavitt,
the daughter of William J. Bryan, has
written q petite drama entitled " Mrs.
s. Holmes, Detective" and it was
played by an amateur company, at the
Orpheum, in Salt Lake city, last week.
One OF the local newspapers praises the
" little farce" Is it calls the playlc.,

fair, however, to entrust the life OF the
bantling to the crude work OF anna.

A Commensurate REWARD. The

packet and gave him from it . cool
thousand dollars in Mexican money.
Never before has such q thing hap.
pened, or if it has, has not found it's
way into print, and that fact impels
US to emphasize this encouragement
for being honest. Generally half a
dollar is the limit of reward, doubtless
under the impression that . larger
sum would be thrown away on child,
or probably from no other cause than
innate penuriousness and the ability
to dictate terms. That such injustice
is not realized by the child or is not
likely to stimulate selfishness as Q pre-.
dominate trait of character, is highly
improbable, and the payment Of an
adequate reward would never be missed
from the horde Of the man who counts
his wealth by the million.
