Scores Become Insane,

Hundreds were driven into a state ap-
preaching madness by the scenes of de
struction, death and devastation in San
F'rancisco-scenes never before approach
ed in America. Scores of others actually
have become insane. The population, af,
ter a wild night of terror, passed on the
bare pavements of the streets or in the
little public squares. Thursday faced til.
torments of hunger and thirst. The Graz.
ed mob was hemmed in by thousands OF
regular soldiers from the Preside. The
indescribable hideousness of the wild ray

the whole earth-shocked women and
children who wandered in the streets in

Brief News Items,

One of the first wagons to arrive at
the Mechanics Pavilion brought whole
family-father, mother and three chill
dren-aI dead except the baby.
Bankers who examined vaults in some
of the burned banks found them intact
and currency probably safe. As Califor-
mans use little paper money the actual
loss of currency will be comparatively
small.
A man buried under the Temple of
Justice was fearfully wounded and could
not escape. He begged a policeman to
kill him. The latter fired shot, but
missed him. Then a pedestrian cut the ar
teries of his wrists and he died.
At Salinas the town practically was
destroyed, and the damage to property
with ten reported dead Sacramento
Stockton, Watsonville and other towns
report huge damage Redwood City, Men
10 Park, and Burlingame also suffered.
Across the bay from San Francisco the
destruction was great. At Berkeley, the
seat OF the University of California, many
buildings were thrown down, and the uni
versity buildings themselves were crack
ed, damaged, and shaken to their founda-
tions. The dead in Oakland. Alameda
and Berkeley are numerous. but no detail
ed accounts or records have been received.
Three hundred inmates of the insane
asylum at Agnew, Cal, were killed by
the collapse of tn, building. One hun
dred escaped and roamed at large.
Shylocks, greedy beyond belief were
among the many brands of vermin and
leeches to seize the furnishing and thirst
crazed multitude. Bread was sold at 81
loaf, water 80 cents glass, canned
goods $50 a can and meat So pound
This is absolutely the greatest disaster
that ever overcame an American city. and
one OF the great fires of history. Beside
il the Chicago, Boston and Baltimore fires
are almost unimportant. No American
city ever was so completely destroyed as
this.

ply was cut off because of the twisted
and broken mains. and the frantic res
idents, aided by Federal troops, fought
the flames with dynamite in an effort
to save the remainder of the city from
destruction. The property loss is esti-
mated at S2OO.OOO,O0O.
General Funston. in command of the
United States troops at the Preside,
declared the CITY under martial law as
soon as the extent of the horror be-
came apparent. and the troops and po-
lice worked together to save life, pro-
tect property and recover the dead. The
earthquake shock destroyed so many Of
the fire engine houses that the depart
ment would have been virtually power
less even had the water supply not
been destroyed.
The saturnalia of crime and looting
which began when the soldiers sacked
the saloons broke out afreSh with the
darkness, and unnumbered, untold
crimes were committed on every side.
No historian will ever describe the tor
lures which the homeless suffered;
none dare attempt to recount the
agonies of those who sought the ruins
Of their homes and missing members of
their household : none may think of the
woe and doom of those buried beneath
the wreckage or consumed by the re-
morSeless flames.
Number of Dead Never known.
i. I,
plete story of the ruin wrought by the
double calamity of earthquake and fire
that visited San Francisco will be writ
ten and then there will still remain I'M
told countless tales of pitiful tragedy.
The exact loss of life will never be
known, as hundreds of unfortunates
have been incinerated in the flames
which made the rescue of those buried
under topping steeples and falling
walls impossible.
Famine in its most terrible form eX-
banded through the devastated city and
stricken inhabitants Thursday. Hun
ger. growing into the first stages of
starvation, faced the spent thousands
who slept Wednesday night in the pub
lie squares. or on the bare pavements
of the city's streets. Thirst, the most
terrorzing of the torments to follow
the earthquake, drove men and women
mad.
Vandals caught in the act of robbing
dead bodies were shot without eXplana-
ton and their bodies consigned to the
flames of some burning buildings. with
out any further formality. The sol
diers patrolling the streets were Or
dered to kill, forthwith, any person
seen robbing the dead or burglarizing

a score of men were killed under this
order.

ALL HUMANITY HEEDs APPEAL.
Flood of Material Aid TO Stricken
City Has NJ PARALLEL In History

Flood of Material Aid TO Stricken
City Has No Parallel in History.
With spontaneity and liberality with
out parallel in history the whole civil
lied world answered the unyoiced appeal
OF ruined San Francisco. Not only from
every city. town and hamlet in this coun-
try, but from over every sea came news
that all humanity in, its profound sym
patty was showering material aid upon
the stricken city and its beggared people.
No more amazing instance of world wide
generosity ever has been recorded.
In the list of generous contributors,
New York City ranked next to the govern
ment itself and babe fair to far exceed the
federal contribution Saturday night the
New York fund amounted to approx
mately S2.0o0,o00 with contributions COM
ing in fast. The State of Massachusetts,
undertook to raise S3.000.O00 Chicago's
fund, spontaneously subscribed, promised
to go beyond $1,0O0,O0O. Philadelphia
sent 100000. These are bur few of
the larger sums. A score or more of
cities contributed 100000 and more.
while hundreds of municipalities sent ali
their means would allow From London.
TarlS. Berlin ana wherever Americans are
congregared generous inflow of gold
came.
Wholly foreign contributions, while
deeply appreciated, were not accepted, ac-
cordlng to the precedent established by
the President in declining gift of SO
900 from German steamship line. Amer
lea. though touched by the evidence of
foreign generosity, felt able to care for
its own.
Nor was the work &C raising relief
funds confined to the large cities. From
every section. every State, came the news
of contributions made by small towns. Not
large il themselves, but their aggregate
has been enormous. Uncounted thousands
sent their contributions and the grand
total of the relief fund will probably
ha
