Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-19

was first scheduled to start. four
o'clock, thirty-slx doctors, among the
number the flower of the profession
in this part OF the state, and flfty-three
nurses had responded, ready to go into
the dangers of the burning city to sue
cor those in need
The offices Of DR.. Sumner j. Quint,
In the Coulter block, were made the
headquarters of the relief expedition
and thither all afternoon steady
stream of doctors and nurses wended
their way. The telephones In the office
were kept busy the entire time, and by
the time the special was supposed to
start full roster of physicians and as
sistants was at hand.
Bad Roadbed Delays Train
The first announcement, stated that
the relief train would leave the Arcade
depot at 4 o'clock, but word to the
officials of the road a short time before
that hour conveyed the news that the
roadbed was victim of the same
shocks which had made a visitation to
San Francisco. The Southern Pacific
managers hoped for a clear track at 8
O'Clock, and it was then decided that
the relief train would start at that time.
Later it was annoupced that fur
ther delay had been forced upon the
railroad company and the start to the
north was postponed once more, this
time until o'clock. At that hour, not
being assured of through track to San
Francisco, it was decided to abandon
the trip by rail and to petition the gov
ernment for the fastest boat available
and make the voyage along the coast.
Ask for Boat Instead
DR.. Quint is in charge of the party,
which will probably be able to start
some time this morning. 1t is not
thought that the government will re-
fuse the request, and that the McCul-
Tough will steam out of port this morn
ing bearing the ministering angels of
Los Angeles to their stricken sister of
the north.
Medical supplies, bandages and sur
gical instruments have been gathered
together and the party will go north
fully equipped to fight disease and in
jury in whatever form they find It.
The nurses of the party will be directed
oy Fremont Scott, who will act as chief
nurse.
The complete list of those who so gen.
erously offered their time and talents to
the cause Of humanity and who will
undoubtedly be on board the govern
ment boat should she start, is as fol-
lows:
