FRANCIS ROOTS
HAS THE BEE >.
ConnerSviIIe Man is an AvoWed
Candidate for Gov
ernor.
HIS FRIENDS ARE ACTIVE
CLAIM MADE THAT ROOTS AND
CONGRESSMAN WATSON ARE
RIVALS FOR COVETED PLACE
WHAT ENQUIRER DISHES UP.

The Indianapolis correspondent of
writes entertainingly if not always &C
curately dishes up the following to his
paper:
If Congressman James E. Watson
from the Sixth District, desires to be-
come candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor two years
hence he may have some trouble in
getting a solid delegation from his own
ba;iiwick.
Mr.. Watson is very popular with
his constituents and is being urged by
hundreds of party workers to become
gubernatorial candidate, but the chan
ces are now that the Sixth will have
another aspirant in the person of
Francis T. Roots, of Connersville.
LAS between the two men it is not
likely that a majority of the party
workers of the district would be long
in choosing in favor of Mr.. Watson,
but Mr.. Roots has some followers and
could keep him from getting solid
delegation. Mr. Roots is quite sure
now that he is about to be urged by
an overwhelming mass of Republicans
to enter the race.
He frankly admits it and says that
he is on the verge of beginning his
campaign. Mr.. Roots, however, has
manifested such a persistent penchant
to run for Office that report that he
is now confident that he is the logical
candidate for Governor is not surpris.
! ing to his district. He has taken a
fresh inventory of his public career
which is always in his minds eye, and
is now quite convinced that he is just
| the man to succeed Governor Hanly
and give the state real, for-sure bust
ness administration. He is taking the
| matter very seriously, and 1t will be
surprising if he doesn't announce his
candidacy before the present campaign
is well under way.
THE probability of Mr.. Roots be-
| coming a candidate is plainly irritat
ing to Mr.. Watson's numerous friends
in the district. They are confident
| they could beat Mr.. Roots If it came
to fight, but they don't want divis
ion. 1t has been suggested that Mr.
Roots's desire to hold Office might be
appeased if Mr.. Watson should offer to
step aside in his favor and give him
his seat in Congress.
From what can be learned, how
ever, if the Sixth has a gubernatorial
candidate it will be Mr.. Roots, as Mr.
Watson told his friends during the
recent Republican State Convention
that he prefers to remain in Congress
while longer. He is pleased with
his work as whip of the House and is
hopeful that some day he will succeed
Congressman Cannon as Speaker OF
the House."

MANY BELATED MESSAGES
CALIFORNIANS HEARD FROM
Richmond People Receive kilograms
From Relatives and Friends and
Their Fears are Thus Quoted.

Belated kilograms from San Fran
cisco and other cities and towns in
the California earthquake zone are
now reaching Richmond. They come
from former Richmond people who
have relatives and friends still in the
city and the messages received have
done much to quiet the fears that have
been entertained. Many of the mes
sages were filed the day following
the disaster but only within the past
twenty-four hours have the telegraph
lines been opened so as to admit pri-
vate messages. There are still num-
erous former Richmond people who
have not been heard from but this
fact does not mean that they have been
injured. Seeing that telegraph service
was out of the question many Of these
persons probably wrote letters and
these have not been received, though
today there should be liberal con-
signment of California mail to reach
Richmond.

Over 1920 was received yesterday
at the Palladium office from persons
anxious to contribute to the fund be-
ing made up here for the benefit of
the San Francisco sufferers, and ev-
erywhere interest in the local fund is
growing.
The first installment of the money
will be sent today to the headquarters
of the Red Cross organization, where
it will be used to the best advantage.
. In every mail, letters are received
containing bills or checks which the
sender requests to be used in swell
ing the fund. Less than $3.50 is need
ed before the total is $1,000 and it is
expected that this amount will be
reached within day or two.
With the. number of different or
CARNATIONS soliciting funds from
Richmond people for the same grand
purpose it is remarkable that so much
cash has been contributed to the Pal
ladium. All the different fraternal or
CARNATIONS are making assessments
upon their members, the churches are
asking special contributions, the
Women's League is busy and the
Catholic Churches are collecting large
sums of money and much clothing to
be sent through the diocese headquar-
tiers. All together. over $4,000 in mon
ey and as much more in clothing and
bedding have been contributed by
Richmond people.

PROMINENT MAN
SHOT BY PATROL
San Francisco Thrown Into a
State of Excitement by
Killing of a Merchant.
ALL FIRES ARE NOW OUT
DRENcHiNG RAIN ADDED TO THE
MIsERIES OF THOSE WHO ARE
NOW COMPELLED TO LIVE IN
THE OPEN.
Publishers Press1

San Francisco, April 23.-Victifns Of
the earthquake and fire remaining in
this city, were thrown into state of
great excitement today by the killing
of H. c. Tilden. a prominent merchant
of this city and a member of the relief
Committee, by members Of Citizens
Patrol. Mr.. Tilden was shot while
riding in an automobile and two other
men with him were wounded. Three
of the guards were arrested and the
greatest indignation prevails.
Many people have been driven in
sane because of horrors which they
have passed and a temporary deten-
ton hospital has been established in
the Sacred Heart school.
The authorities have accepted the
offer of Col. T. Waln-Morgan Draper
to supervise the erection of huge bar
racks, accommodating 5000 for the ref
ugees at the Preside.
A Drenching Rain.
Thousands of Franciscans, home
less, sleep in the open, if they sleep at
all, in DIRE ching rain last night, add
those whose cup is already full.
Shortly after midnight it began to
rain, and continued for three hours
from a drizzle at times to a heavy
downpour for few minutes. Thou
sands of people, men, women and chill.
dren camped in the parks, squares and
open lots, were awakened by the rain
dashing in their face.
Wherever possible women and chill
dren were crowded and huddled into
the canvas waterproof tents, such as
are on hand. Little, however, could
be done, as the facilities are entirely
inadequate to house all the homeless.
Large numbers sought the Profession
of trees and bushes. Some placed a
few boards over their heads to ward
of the water.
q. Citizens Form VisiIant Band.
One hundred and thirty. citizens
have banded together as vigilants, un-
der command of DR.. Donald McCul-
loch Gedge, to preserve order during
the restoratiort
Arrangements are making alrtNdy
for the city election next fall, when a
governor will be chosen.
Fully 10000 refugees are being fed
by the government at the Preside
and North Beach Barracks for 15,.
900 are being erected in Golden Gate
Park.
Conflicting reports concerning the
fires have been circulated. One said
that fire which seemed to have died
out, started with renewed violence in
the coal bunkers north of the ferry
building shortly after midnight, and
unless subdued would reach the ferry.
This. however. proved not so and all
fires in the city are now out.
More Slight Shocks Felt.
More slight shocks have been felt in
Imperial Valley, the latest early today.
Burying squads are busy all over
the city.
Refugees are fiocking on all trains
away from the scene of ruin and
blasted hopes. Their railroad passage
is free to all parts of the country.
Fear of epidemic according to Gen.
eral Funston Is abating. Sanitary
conditions are improving in the camps
at Golden Gate Park and throughout
the city and but few cases of smallpox
or typhoid have been found

Chicago, April 23.-With nothing blu,
their voices saved from destruction in
the San Francisco disaster, the stars
of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Com
pany reached Chicago this afternoon
Their eyes were still large with the
horrors of the scenes they had wit

Oyerjoyed from their safe delivery

nothing their loss of $4,000 In per-
sonal effects and more than double
that amount in scenery and theatrical
property.

menting the complete ruin of one bus
mess house.
Buildings To Be Rehabilitated.
In the wholesale and retail district
many street buildings will be rehabile-
itated. Steel structures are espec-
tally of a permanent character. This
is thought to be the case with the
Chronicle building, the Call, City of
Paris, Mutual Bank, Claus Spreckles
building, Chamber of Commerce,
Newman and Levyson, and many 9TH
ers.
1t is even thought possible that the
Palace Hotel structure ruins may be
remodeled. In some cases the skin
OF brick has fallen, leaving the steel
frame intact.
Remains Of Fire Put Out.
By 1 o'clock this afternoon the fire
which threatened to wipe out what
remained of San Francisco along ting
water front was out and with the ex-
ception of a few sporadic blazes in
the burnt district the confiagration
was over. All that remains of San
Francisco is a fringe of buildings
along the docks, the residence Sec
ton in the hills along the southern
boundary and the western addition.
Those houses that are intact are be-
ing turned into temporary hospitals
or crowded with refugees. Many of
these houses suffered from earth
quake and are unsafe.
Fires for cooking are allowed only
on the streets and the houses are
cold and for the most part are being
stripped by their occupants prepare
tory to a hasty flight. Hundreds Of
children are lost and are being cared
for. Some of them can tell their
names, but MANY cannot and may
never be restored to their parents.
Street Cars Begin Runs.
Street cars were running over the
Fillmore street line on the edge Of
the burnt district and the work of put
ting up poles was begun on Market
street and by Wednesday it is hoped
to have cars running. Bread lines con-
tinue to form and VIII do so three
times a day for some weeks. 1t will
take six months to make fair begin
ming on the work of reconstruction
and refugees will have to be fed by
the relief committees.
The insurance adjusters are on the
ground now in great number and are
busily figuring on the approximate
total loss from an expert standpoint.
Total Loss t:arf Billion.
According to their estimate the to-
tai loss will be half billion dollars.
On real estate improvements alone
the loss is $350,OO0.000 on which the
insurance companies are obligated to
pay at least SITS, 00O, 900. To this must
be added the value of practically all
the stocks of the, wholesale and big
retain stores which were all destroy
ed.
Every one of the insurance men
are positive in their assertions that
all obligations will be promptly met
where there are no complications
arising from earthquake clauses, v
and they assert that no undue advan-
tage will be taken on account of
such reservations in the policies.

The Sunday Rowdy.

The Sunday rowdy is one OF the
most pestiferous of the minor nuis-
ances in New York. He makes life
miserable for many persons whose
only holiday is Sunday and whose only
means of escaping from the heat and
noise of the city is the public trans
portation system. II is impossible to
find any defense for the Sunday
rowdy. He may be explained as an
overdeveloped physique with an UNI
derdeveloped mind. This year the
transportation managers-whose fail
ure to perform their duties in the
past is largely responsible for the con-
ditions that exist-appear 10 be max
ing a real effort to suppress the young
toughs that abuse their lines. In this
they should have the active and hearty
cooperation OF the city authorities. A
dozen or so disturbers Of the peace
sent to Jail would stop many of the
most acute annoyances.-N. Y. Sun.
