SHOCK WAS FELT
ON THE BAY
T. NJ. KELLEY WRITES TO HIS
BROTHER OF HOW THE SHOCK
FELT ON THE BAY.

j. w. Kelley, who is stopping in this
city on his way to the Orient, received
a letter from his brother T. NJ. Kelley,
who was on a ferry boat crossing to
Oakland when the earthquake came
damaged the city. Mr.. Kelley tells
the story as follows:
Il was crossing to Oakland after my
nights work when the shock came.
could not imagine what the trouble
was for suddenly the boat began to
rock violently and then to pitch as if
in heavy sea. 1 rushed to the side
of the boat and was amazed to see the
waters boiling up as if they were heat
ed trhey seemed to writhe and to
shake the boat with their fury There
were no high waves however. l asked
| an officer standing near me what was
the trouble and he said: "I do not
| know unless it is an earthquake" The
captain of the boat ordered all steam
crowded on so that he might reach the
| Oakland slip. He said afterwards that
he was afraid that tidal wave would
follow and swamp the boat The fer
rvs continued their run however after
we landed.
Another noticeable thing was the
noise. From the city 1t sounded as If
a battery had broken out in an en-
gagement. Every now and then there
was some loud reSort. 1t was not long
before one could see columns of smoke
arising which told of the coming of the
fire which was to prove so disastrous. -

MANY SHOT

There are some black pages to the
story of the San Francisco disaster.
Many of them will never be told. Others
will, The prompt and effective mea-
sures of the authorities in having all
looters killed, at once, effectively pre-
vented any wholesale attempts on the
part of the thugs of San Francisco,
But there is still even 81 blacker page
to tell. Private letters from San Fran
cisco tell of shameful attempts on the
part of human monsters to assault
helpless and defenceless women. On one
night alone in jefferson Square no less
than seven men We're shot down for
attempted rape of homeless women In
the park The daughter of one of the
men went insane when she saw her
father shot down.

the residence of Mrs. Sprecke.s by blow
ing it up ! was told to take 10 of my
men and clear the house of its occu-
pants. We approached the front door
and Mrs Spreckels came to the door
but as soon as she saw who we were
she slammed and locked the door in our
faces. Well that didn't stop us very
long for after warning her, we shot the
lock off and went in. After we had
cleared the house of the servants the
magnificent structure was blown to
pieces. This may sound like wanton
destruction but tell you it had to be
done or the city would have been burn
ing yet.
I'VE got back to the campus on the
Gath. We are now patrolling our own
campus while the girls are feeding the
refugees. Dagoes are here enough and
to spare. A large number Of the stu
dents have left for home.
NEARLY all of the boys have a queer
adventure to tell. One boasts that he
shot the lamp off Of the Mayors auto
mobile before the Mayor would slow
down while going through the city,
Say is you don't believe it has been a
strenuous life you should see our pretty
uniforms. They look like they had
been through a fire alright"

SAUNDERS
LOST EVERYTHING
MASTER OF MANCHURIA RECEIV-
ED NEWS FROM HIS FAMILY
TELLING OF THEIR ESCAPE.

Captain Saunders of the S. S. Man
churia received details today on his
arrival from the Orient of the devas-
tation done by the fire in San Fran
cisco. Captain Saunders says that
everything he and his family possessed
was destroyed. All of his wife's medi-
cal instruments and medical library
were destroyed,
Mrs. Saunders and daughter were for
tunate enough in meeting with Col
Sanborn of the Burlington route who
took them to Elmhurst away from San
Francisco where they escaped being
exposed during the first night follow
ing the disaster. Mrs. Saunders Is a
physician and surgeon and she is now
doing effective work in caring for the
injured,

The Board of Supervisors have a
right to impeach a district deputy
sheriff. This was settled by the Su-
preme Court this morning, after argu-
ment on the petition for writ to pro-
hibit the Board from hearing the Ke
kauoha case. A temporary writ was
secured last week by Achi, counsel for
Kekauoha, but this morning County
Attorney Douthitt made a motion to
have it dissolved and after argument
the motion was granted.
Achi's petition turned upon two
points, first that a district sheriff is
not a County officer" and therefore
cannot be impeached under the provi-
sion authorizing impeachment, which
refers to county officers, and second
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-05-07

that the petition asking for the i'm
peachment and removal of Kekauoha
did not bear the names of 25 voters Of
his district, as required by law.
Douthitt made a return to the writ
in behalf of himself and the members
of the Board. After hearing argument
the court ruled without leaving the
bench. 1t denied the petition for per-
manent writ and dissolved the tenn
porary writ, thus leaving the way clear
for the supervisors to go ahead with
their impeachment case, and settling
the fact that the Board has powers OF
impeachment over the district sheriffs.
The supervisors are to meet tomor-
row evening and will probably take up
the Kekauoha matter then.

Mail reports were received by the
Alameda to the effect that Governor
Carter has had quite a relapse, and is
in a much more serious condition than
he was a couple of weeks ago. The
date of his resuming the executive Of
flee is believed to be considerably fur
ther off, if not off altogether.
The excitement and hardship attend
ant upon the great earthquake are the
cause of the setback, according to let
ters received. The Governor was in
Monterey when the shock came, and
though he had considerably improved
and might have been able to return
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-05-07

here in a month or two, he was still an
invalid. The terrible shock, followed
by days of excitement and confusion,
had a disastrous effect.
The whole purpose of Carters trip
and stay at Monterey was to secure
rest, and the earthquake of course end
ed all vacation features of his stay.
After the quake, plans were discussed
to leave at once for Honolulu, but there
was no transportation available.
The Governor is less likely than ever,
it is said, to resume his official posi-
tion. In fact it will take a long rest
to work a cure in his case
