had decided that their houses were
outside of the dangerous area and
had decided to pass the night, even
after the terrible experience of the
shake-up. under their roofs, hourly
gave 1t up and struggled to the parks.
There they lay in blankets. their
choicest yaluables by their sides, and
the soldiers kept watch and order.
There is no water in the main; the
great suffering was from thirst. The
soldiers disregarding the order not
to let people. move about. permitted
bucket brigades to go TO the spring
and bring back water to- relieve wo-
men and crying children. To reach
the water 1t was necessary to go a
mile to one of the four reservoirs
which top the hills. talked to one
man who slept in Alta plaza. The
fire was going in the district south
of them, and at intervals all night
exhausted fire fighters made their
way to the plaza and dropped. with
the breath out of them, among the
people and the bundles of
goods.

cts of water. even from the women,
for these men, who kept coming all
the night long. There was a little
food. also kept by the soldiers for
these emergencies, and the sergeant
had in his charge one precious bottle
of whiskey. from which he dealt out
drinks to those who were utterly ex-
hausted.
Over in a corner of the plaza a
band of men and women were pray

horror, was crying out at the top OF
his voice. His hysterical trying got on
the nerves of the soldiers and bade
fair to start a panic among the wom-

over and stopped it by force. All
night they held huddled together.

There was one woman in the crowd
who had been separated from her
husband in a rush of the smoke and
did not know whether he was living

all night, and in the morning the
soldiers passed her through the line
in her search. A few Chinese made
their way into the crowd. They were
trembling pitifully and willing to
stop wherever the soldiers placed

HAS A CLUB FOR MEAT PACKERS.
President Roosevelt Is Determined
that Congress Shall Enact Meat
Inspection Law.

Washington, d. Can important
conference was held at the White
House Monday regarding the meat in
spection amendment of Senator Bev-
eridge to the agricultural appropria-
tion bill
The president discussed the ques-
tion with Senator Carter, of Montana,
and Prof. Charles P. Neill, commits
sioner of labor, who investigated GER
tain packing houses, and later talked
over the matter with Senator Bever-
idge. A part of the information, col
lected by Prof. Neill and James B.
Reynolds, of New York, who collabor-
ated with Prof Neill, has been reduced
to concrete form and will be given to
the president in few days.
The Neill report consists of exten-
sive notes and affidavits of employees,
patrons and persons in a position to
observe conditions as they are. Here
are some of the allegations backed up
by affidavits:
Lard is manufactured from hogs
which die of cholera.
The sanitary conditions in the pack
ing houses are revolving.
sickness while being shipped is used
to make "sardine oil.'
No inspection is made for trichi-
nosis of hogs sold in this country.
| Animals butchered for European trade
are inspected.
Meat in which the trichinae is dead
and disintegrated is sold. Where the
germ is found alive in ham the meat is
boiled before selling, though not al
ways thoroughly.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the presi-
dents attitude:
"The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers and
their friends, who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it: The president
says if the amendment is enacted into
law he will be content to remedy the
evils complained Of through the law.
"If, however, the amendment is de-
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to congress the reports
in his possession relating to the
abuses existing in the packing houses
