SAVE PRESIDENT
FROM MRS. "ESAC. "
Creates Scene in Oyster Bay Church
When Refused Seat Near to
ROoSevelts.

OYSTER BAY, y. Y, Aug. 81
! While President Roosevelt and family
were attending Christ Episcopal church
Sunday, the services were disturbed and
considerable excitement was caused by
the attempts of Miss Elizabeth Case, or
Esac, as she calls herself, to speak with
the President.
The womans dress was rumpled and
her watch chain broken in the strus-
gle with secret service men. She was
not arrested.
1t has been Miss Esac's custom ever
since she followed the President to Oy-
ster Bay month ago, to attend church
each Sunday and to attempt to get a
seat near the pew occupied by the lrrsl-
dents family. Sunday she took seat
directly in the rear of the Presidents
pew.
Usher Escorts Her to Rear.
James Dutfey, one of the ushers, re-
quested her to change her seat, and when
she refused, conducted her as gently As
possible to the rear of the church. When
the President came into the church Miss
Esac made no attempt 10 speak To him,
but later walked up the center aisle and
tried to take seat next to the pew oC-
cupied by the Longworths. She again
was conducted to the rear by an usher.
After the second rcpulse Miss EsaC re-
fused to take n seat and remained
standing near the aisle down which the
President would pass in leaving Secret
Service Man Council took his stand he
side the woman and checked several 9TH
er attempts which she made to approach
the Presidents pew. When Council took
Miss Esacs hand in an attempt 10 quiet
her she put her hand over his saying:

NEW RINK is A MODEL ONE
Panorama on Main Street Bids Fair
to Become Most Popular
Resort

Everybody in Los Angeles will be on
wheels in a fortnight. That is if skates
can be secured to fit everybody out.
The craze is not coming; it's here
The newest rink to claim attention
is the Panorama, situated on the east
side of Main street, between Thirty
second and Thirty-fourth streets. This
great building is being fitted up in ele-
giant style and the floor is one that
adept skaters will delight in. AS II
will be perfect circle its popularity
is assured.
The skating surface comprises 1000
square, feet and is being smoothed
down to the point that will practically
do away with friction and skates will
glide over the CLASSY expanse to the
strains of the Frankensteln orchestra.
The decorations are unique, in that
the entire floor is canopied in red, white
and blue. The galleries that surround
the skating surface Of the rink are high
and afford full view Of the floor.

physically and nervously exhausted.
Lost Home by Fire
"I have been serving as executive
secretary to DIR. Edward Devine. chief
of the National Red Cross. He was
sent to San Francisco by President
Roosevelt to take charge of the Red
Cross portion of the relief work. MY
home was not destroyed by the earth
quake but it was by the fire My wife
and l escaped from San Francisco to
Berkeley with only the clothing which
we wore. We did not save anything
from our house.
San Francisco is now divided into
six military districts, for the purpose
of policing 1t, and also into seven re-
lief sections. Every man, woman and
child who receives provisions now is
being registered and the work is being
systematized as far as possible.
For the first week after the catas-
trophe there were many people who
went hungry, but for the last ten days
no such condition has existed.
All Are Most Hopeful
about $50, 900 persons are being fed
every day. There is sufficient amount
of provisions to last ten days more
when everything that has been sent
will have been exhausted and the re-
lief committee will be forced to draw
upon the relief fund which is made
quate.
More than 22OO carloads of provis-
ions have been distributed by Major
Devol. In a few days there will be
work for many men, but at present
there is work enough for but a small
fraction of the thousands of men in the
city who are willing and anxious to
work
"At the registration bureau, where
my wife is now working, 1000 men ap-
piled for work and only 40 could be
placed. However, the men and wo-
men who, it would seem. might be
pessimistic because of their knowledge
of conditions, are in reality the most
hopeful and every one is certain that
San Francisco will be rebuilt a much
more beautiful city than it was pre-
vious to the earthquake"

TICKET CLERKS ARE BUSY
Exasperating Travellers Make Much
Trouble for Agents

History, biography or whatever you
may call it, shows that nearly every
man is a little jealous of the other
mans job. The man who is jealous may
not know it but at times other people
can see it sticking out of him.
Probably one of the most enVied class
of people is the man behind the railroad
ticket counter, said one official yes
terday. 1t is true that in Los Angeles
during the winter months he frequently
has little to do but figure out some
way in which he can kill time. The
business is all westbound and the fell
low at the other end of the line is doing
the hustling.
Quite ga different appearance from
that of killing time is now presented in
the local offices. The man who seemed
to move with difficulty last winter and
acted as though he wanted to yawn
every time he opened his mouth, is now
jumping about like a school boy trying
to answer the dozens of questions that
are being put to him at once by two OIL
three people.
While his hands are punching ticket
for the man who wants to go to Little
burg. N. Y, his mouth is talking to
another person who wants to know
about the scenery between Los An
geles and Skeeterville, N. j.
A
which some of the ticket clerks must
endure was enacted in one of the local
offices yesterday.
A man, in fact a very nice looking
man, approached the counter and said
that he wanted to go to Oklahoma, in
cidentally mentioning that he had
planned the trip with one of the clerks
in the morning and that he knew just
how he wanted to go.
First class?" asked the clerk.
Sure" was the reply. "One for me
and one for my sister"
Two long tickets were pulled from
the rack and after three or four min
utes' rapid writing by the clerk were
ready for the purchasers signature.
"Oh!" exclaimed the traveller, Il for
got to tell you that we wanted to stop
at Colorado Springs"
The clerk said nothing but his looks
spoke great deal even though he, wore
the customary smile.
Two still longer tickets were made
out and the pen was dipped in the ink
and handed to the purchaser so that he
could sign them.
us that ticket good for any place
in Oklahoma?" was asked.
why, it's good only to Oklahoma
CITY. Of course" said the clerk.
But L don't want to go to Oklahoma
City. 1 want to go to Hobart"
The habitual smile came off the
clerks face. While biting his lips he
made out another pair of tickets, all of
the while listening to a lecture from
the good looking man upon the courtesy
that ticket clerks should show to the
travelling public.

WORLD
TAKES OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF SIT.
UATIoN
Hartman official Says slump In West
bound Passenger Business Is
only Temporary--Loosl Men
Take Same stand

f. l.. Lomax, general passenger
agent for the Union Pacific, arrived
In Los Angeles yesterday and will re-
main here for several days I'm the in
terests of the Hartman lines. Mr..
Lomax takes an optimistic view of the
western situation following the disaster
at san Francisco.
Mr.. Lomax says that there is no use
of any official denying that the de-
structlon of san Francisco has had
an effect upon the west-bound passen-
ger business. but that It Is his belief
that this slump will be only momen-
tary
1t Is his opinion that as soon as
nerves of the people who were fright
ened throughout the United states by
the earthquake have become quieted
they will travel west the same as
ever and that IL anything the west
bound business this summer will be
heavier than ever on account of the
low summer rates that Will be effec-
tive this year for the first time.
All the local railroad officials take
much the same stand as does Mr. Lo-
max and believe that the incoming
travel will commence again in a short
time.
Travel to the east, he says, has be-
come normal again, although the rail-
roads are still doing a large business
in that direction. The fact that so
many people went east during the
past two or three weeks is attributed
more to the large number of tourists
who remained In California later this
year than usual and would have gone
home at this time even If there had
been no earthquake In the north.
From advices that have been received
In Los Angeles as to the number of
bookings in the east for travel to the
coast it is now evident that Los An
geles will be called upon to give ac-
commodations to several thousand peo-
pie during the coming three or four
months.
Several of the Shriner patrols have
cancelled their orders for special trains
and private cars, but notwithstanding
this the officials say that advices show
that the Shriners will come in special
cars and individually for several days
to come. Many orders have been OBJ
tained to make stops at various places
en- route that were not included in the
original program.

there.
r. c. Barnard, superintendent Of the
Cincinnati division of the Pennsyl-
vana lines, is in Los Angeles.
A Raymond & Whitcomb tour from
Boston is due to arrive i'm Los Angeles
Wednesday over the Santa Fe with
over 100 Shriners on board.
The Salt Lake has recently issued a
booklet telling about the Los Angeles
limited. The little book shows many
half-tones of different parts of the train
and takes the reader over the entire
trip from the time he gets aboard the
train in Los Angeles until he reaches
Chicago.
General Pacific Coast Agent Booth of
the Union Pacific, with headquarters at
San Francisco, is in Los Angeles.
Clay Rockwell, auditor and general
freight and passenger agent of the Gin
cinnati, Lebanon & Northern railway,
with headquarters in Cincinnati, is
spending a short vacation in Los An
geles.
The Salt Lake road is now giving to
visiting Shriners neat souvenir. The
clasp by which it is alta ched to the
coat is in the shape of the Shriner in
sigma. From this hangs a pendent in
the shape of an arrow, which is the
official sign of the road. The souvenir
Is made of bronze and was made to
correspond with the ideas of T. C.

LOS Angeles is now the largest city
in California il not the largest on the
coast, and accordingly should rank
high as regards educational facilities, -
said Prof. E. C. Moore, who arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday from San Fran
cisco where he has been assisting in the
relief work.
Prof. Moore will assume his duties
as superintendent of city schools i'm
mediately. Prof. Moore was chosen by
the school board to succeed James A.
Foshay, who resigned to become di-
rector of the affairs of the Fraternal
Brotherhood.
"In my mind the brightest promise
for the future greatness of Los, Angeles
as a center of learning is the interest
which the people of this city have
taken in things pertaining to the higher
education and culture.
Abundant evidence has been given
by Los Angeles that this city is des-
tined to become, if it is not already,
the educational center of the west. Los
Angeles would be an ideal site for a
great university such as Stanford,
Berkeley or any of the larger eastern
colleges such as Yale. Harvard or
Princeton.
Logical Place for University
"Any city or section to be a good
location for a university should have
a large territory from which to draw
the students. This requirement Los
Angeles fills admirably.
'In addition to the central and
southern part of California, which
would naturally supply students for a
Los Angeles university, there are the
adjoining states and territories in which
there is at present no large institu-
tion of the sort and from which men
and women who desire a university
education must go east to secure it.
These would undoubtedly furnish the
support necessary to maintain school
of that size and importance.
"It seems to be only question Of
funds that delays the erection of such
a university. 1t seems most probable
that some wealthy man will eventually
give the requisite funds.

SAYS ELECTRIC LINES SAFER
May Never Build Conduit Planned for
San Francisco

Heads of contracting Arms in San
Francisco who make a business of
building street railways and local rail-
way men agree that it is doubtful if
the plans of the corporation that COM
bined to build conduit system in San
Francisco two days before the earth
quake will ever be carried out
1t is said that the experience by the
street car companies during the dis
aster has taught the people in the
north that the surface electric lines
are the best for all purposes. An ex-
ample is cited In the fact that the cleo
trio lines were all doing business three
days after the fire subsidized, while the
cable lines viii not be doing business
