We Apologize.

\ few days before the late election
Charlie Winant OF Newport informed
THE LEADER, on the quiet, that Cover

cessor. We thought Charlie had been
viewing the situation through a liquetied
telescope, and told him so. 1t is now
our duty to apologize, As member Of
the smooth, sly and active organization
which turned the unexpected and cruel
trick, Charlie was certainly in position
to know more about it than Il trusting,
verdant editor. who has never been able
to believe that all men are liars, We
apologize again.

REFUGEES FLED TO OAKLAND
THROUGHOUT the NIGHT

Oakland, Cal, April 20.-Refugees from
San Francisco continued 10 pour into Oak
land all last night While no one was
taken from this side OF the bay TO San
Francisco after dark the ferryboats con-
tinued 10 land thousands OF people on this
side.
Many narrowing stories OF hardship
were told by the refugees, women in
particular. having had pitiabe expert
ences The wife OF an Associated Press
employe walked from the western addi-
tion seven miles around the burned dis
trict. and endured all sorts OF hardships
10 reach the water front at North Beach,
where she was taken aboard tug and
landed at Oakland
She said that she had nothing TO eat
for almost two days and that her expert
ence was not exceptional, but that there
were tens OF thousands OF people far out
on the hills toward the west beach, In
Golden Gate park, in vacant lots and
along the North Beach water front with
out food or water.
Many were seeking to reach the ferry
but thousands were camped I'm the hope
that the fire would soon exhaust itself,
and that they might be able 20 return TO
the place where their homes once stood,
| or TO their houses, should they be left.
HUNGRY THRoNGs BEsIEGE ALL
GROCERIES NOT BURNED.
In the extreme west end OF the city
the few groceries remaining open were
besieged by hungry crowds and their sup
| plies quickly exhausted. In one place two
| men fought over a bag OF walnutE the
| only good food remaining I'm the store.
II Is said that a loaf OF bread sold for a
dollar and that soda crackers retalled
| at 10 cents apiece.
Oakland is feeling the effects OF the
great influx OF refugees Every restau-
| rant I'm this city was eaten out" by 9
o'clock Hast ,aisiat and-atnres- closed be-
cause no supplies could be had until morn
| Ing.
Thousands OF people are wandering the
| city seeking n place TO sleep. and there
| are few private houses that do not
hold refugee from San Francisco. There
has been a great rush Of people from Los
| Angeles and other points, many being
residents of San Francisco, who rushed
back 10 see what could be done. Hun
! dreds OF others came TO ascertain the fate
OF friends or TO look after property.
MANY WHO CAME UNABLE TO FIND
FAMILY OR FRIENDS.
Both the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe lines south from Oakland have been
bringing I'm train after train. Those who
succeeded I'm crossing the bay TO San
Francisco were unable to find their fami-
lies or friends. As the fire swept toward
the resident sections people vacated homes
and sought safety wherever they could.
State miltiamen and local police pa
troled the streets I'm the business section
OF Oakland last night and established lines
about the various buildings damaged by
the earthquake. There Is no disorder I'm
Oakland. Notwithstanding the large crowd
OF refugees that have come in.
Every train leaving oakland Is loaded
To its capacity. Thousands are seeking
To obtain transportation TO Los Angeles
II Is learned that the railroads will re-
fuse to bring any one to Oakland who
cannot show good cause for coming.
