NOVELIST RESCUES
MANUSCRIPT FROM
OCCIDENTAL HOTEL

BERKELEY, May Gertrude Ath-
has made her home In Berkeley for
several months. Is In receipt OF a tele-
graphic order from Harper's Magazine
to an article dealing with the pictur-
esuue features Of the fire and earth
quake. She had ample opportunity to
CLEAN impressions that would serve as
material for such an article, as 1t was
her lot to be one of that host Of indi-
viduals on this side OF the bay that
sought entry into San Francisco dur
ing the first day of the fire. She skirt
ed the water front In a launch. trying
to land, incidentally getting magnif1-
cent view Of the flames from the bay.
Mrs. Atherton's clothing, books and
many of her most valuable personal
effects were stored In the basement Of
the Occidental Hotel. It was to rescue
these belongings that she hurried from
Berkeley to San Francisco an hour af-
ter the earthquake. She was particu-
larly concerned about the fate of the
manuscript for her new novel, which
was in a trunk at the Occidental Hotel.
About 10000 words OF the book had
been written, and the thought Of los
ing that which had cost her much time
and mental effort nerved the authoress
to strenuous endeavors to enter San
Francisco. She paid $50 for passage In
launch across the bay and finally
succeeded in saving her book
Mrs. Atherton's conclusion with re-
gard to the earthquake is that OF a
philosopher. She believes earthquakes
are profoundly interesting, though she
has mo morbid love for them" In her
opinion the big quake brought out tae
best In everybody who was going along
in a rut, and created a new set OF
capable pioneers" Incidentally she
fancies that 1t Improved almost every
body's health"
'And finally" declares the authoress,
'T don't believe that there Is a blase
person In the State. Credit that to the
earthquake. The catastrophe, too, Will
be great factor in the future great
ness Of San Francisco, just as the fires
of London were In the making Of that
city a world metropolis"

on tho day OF the catastrophe that their
duty was to remain here and assist the
government, and their knowledge of
local conditions has been Invaluable.
The. President and cabinet officers have
consulted the senators on every point.
ana have been able to make their work
eHective on account of the accurate
knowledge OF the senators. Representa-
tives Hayes, Knowland, Needham. and

1se from the First Assistant that thew

In conference between Secretary
OF the Interior Hitchcock and Senator
Perkins, the Secretary offered to pro-
vide quarters and care for 200 or 800
insane patients from California at St.
Elizabeth g, IN this city. Inquiries were
sent to Agnews and elsewhere, and it
was learned that there would be no
necessity for calling upon the generos-
fty OF the government In this regard.
Surgeon-General Wyman of the Pub
lie Health and Marine Hospital Service
notified the California senator's immed-
lately after the catastrophe that he
would send officers from here and also
from the Pacific States to San Francisco
to assist In relief work.
Both senators called on Secretary

this plan into effect were introduced by
Senator Flint and Representative
Knowland, and the senate passed the
measure without objection. This amount
Is additional to the appropriation reg

MURDER SUSPECT
FURNISHES BAIL
NEGRO TAILOR OF PASADENA
GAINS LIBERTY
District Attorneys office Says Alleged
Slayer Of James Logan viii Not
Be Tried Unless Witness
Is Found

]. ]. Jaxon, a Pasadena negro
charged with the murder of James
Logan, was released from custody late
last night by furnishing bonds Of
$4,000.
IL is said that unless some unforeseen
event occurs whereby the states at
torneys secure actual evidence the
case will be dropped and Jaxon will
be allowed to go free.
The crime with which Jaxon is
charged occurred several months ago
on the Raymond golf links at Pasa-
dena. Logan, young mulatto, who
was well known In Pasadena for his
honesty, was lured to a ravine on the
links and there, II is supposed in the
presence of the woman who lured him
and the avenger who awaited him,
was killed. His head was fearfully
crushed and his throat, face and body
were slashed with knife.
Found by caddy
Following the murder the body was
rolled into the bed of the ravifie and
covered with hay. The following
morning a caddy hunting a stray golf
ball came across the grewSome object
and in terror reported his find to the
police.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Franklin was
put to work and succeeded in obtaining
a remarkable chain of circumstantial
evidence against Jaxon, but no actual
facts connecting him with the murder
Finally the police decided to arrest
Jaxon and he was held to answer in
the superior court after trial at Pasa-
dena. Since then the negro has re-
a in io no NJ hox xfo
searched high and low for the woman
whom they feel sure was a wit.
ness to the murder of the young man
she had lured to his death.
Several attempts have been made to
connect Jaxon with the knife found
near the body of the murdered man.
That revenge and not robbery was the
object of the murder was the theory
accepted by the officers, for the dead
mans watch was taken and thrown
away to make it appear that the body
had been robbed, but the murderer
failed to take the money from his
victim.
Bail Is Reduced
Yesterday for the fourth time the
Jaxon case was called in the criminal
department of the superior court. At
torney McComas of the district at
torney's office stated in court that the
only evidence at hand was circum-
stantial and that while it formed a
strong chain around Jaxon, yet it
lacked convicting qualities necessary
to the prosecution.
"If we do not find the woman we
believe saw the murder, or If we fail
to secure the evidence we seek, then
the case against this man will be
dropped said McComas. 'In the
meantime we win consent that Jaxon's
bail be changed to $1,000 instead of
$4,000, and we will postpone the trial
six weeks"
Late yesterday evening, just before
Judge Smith left the court house, the
bonds We're taken before him and
signed. An orange grower of Pomona
and a banker of Pasadena furnished
the required sum and Jaxon was al
lowed to return home.
