The Chinese Jared worst of all of
the San Francisco refugees. Some got
out with their belongings at the first
alarm of fire, but others remained un-
til the afternoon. Then, as the flames
came closer, they were driven out by
the soldiers without being allowed to
get food or clothing. A hasty guard
shot one as he was going into his
store for goods. Nearly 10000 of them
have arrived here. and the majority
have been cared for in the local China

A Rockefeller Camp.

John d. Rockefeller has sent money
for the establishment of a new camp,
which will bear his name. Los Angeles
has provided for a camp to accommo-
Gate 1000 people, and has sent so
physicians and nurses to look after
the sick in it. Food is also coming in
from that city, and more help if need
from that city.
An important piece of work that is
going on at relief headquarters in the
chamber of commerce rooms is the
registration of refugees. There are 45
clerks engaged in this work alone. All
Who register are catalogued by cards,
which bear their names and old and
new addresses. In this manner dozens
Of families have been reunited and
friends have found each other. A line
of anxious inquiries extends far out
into the street, while others file past
to register or leave an inquiry for
some one who might seek them. There
is an employment bureau, where work
is provided whenever possible. Hun
dreds of letters pour in, and the In
formation is given whenever pos
sible

Oakland is caring for $4,000 people

The height of the influx has been
reached and the number of refugees is
slightly decreasing. Although they are
still coming in large numbers, more
are leaving on every train for various
points. Requests for free transporta-
ton are investigated as closely as pos
sible, and all the deserving are sent
away. Women and children and mar
ried men who wish to join their fam
lilies in various parts of the state are
given the preference. The transporta-
ton bureau is on street corner,
where a man stands on a box and calls
the names of those who are entitled
to passes. No one now goes hungry
here ana few lack shelter, but cots
and bedding are needed. At the First

Tragic Event In Seattle the Cause Of
Much Sorrow.

Z
The tragic death Of Judge George Mead
Emory. formerly OF this city. in Seattle.
Wash. Monday has aroused much SYM
pathy in this city. where the late jurast
was formerly very well known. One feature
that - particularly sad is the fact that
Mrs. Campbell Emory, mother of Judge
Emory, has been under treatment In Q
sanitarium near Baltimore for some time
and yesterday when the sad news Of the
death OF her son was conveyed to her
she suffered q relapse. As a result her
daughters, Mrs. w. A. Edgar OF New
York and the Misses Elisabeth and Clara
Emory. decided that 1t would not be wise
to remove her to the family residence in
this city, which is at 1754 Madison street
northwest. The family as yet have not
heard as to the arrangements for the
funeral.
Judge Emory was a native of Atlanta
Ga, having been born In that city about
thfrty-fve years ago. His father was Capt:
Campbell Emory OF the army, who died in
the south shortly after the close OF the
civil war. Judge Emory came to this city
later and was educated at a private school.
He afterward attended Cornell University.
where he took law course. After gradu-
ating from Cornell he went west and prac-
ticed law for about ten years.
The Emory line is one distinguished in
the army and navy and includes as the
grandfathers of the deceased Gen. William
II. Emory and Commodore Tilton. Capt.
w. III. Emory was an uncle. Judge Emory
was shot by angry sutton for the hand
of his niece, who had been refused admis-
sion to the house upon the young woman S
request.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Cyclists Follow at Full Speed the En-
CINE Going to a Fire.


fire engine responding to an alarm went
tearing down upper 14th street the other
day, and In its wake followed a dozen
men and boys on bicycles. riding as IL their
lives depended upon keeping pace with the
fire apparatus. A citizen observing this for
hidden afterchase said to a Star reporter:
Several years ago. when bicycles were
more common on the streets of this city
than they are now, this pernicious prac-
tice on the part of the riders became such
nuisance that a police regulation was
made prohibiting it. 1t seems, however to
have become dead letter, and, if such is
the case, 1t should certainly be revived and
enforced.
L nave noted in all parts of the city. and
especially upon Pennsylvania avenue and
several of the main downtown thorough
fares that cyclists will wheel In the wake
of a fieeting piece of fire apparatus and
give chase Upon all of these latter mem
TONED streets there are stationed at com
Venlent points bike-cops to whom the public
look 10 make arrests In this instance as IL
is out OF the question for d patrolman on
the sidewalk to take action In the nm
town streets 1t cannot be expected that
these offending wheelmen can be caught,
but there is certainly no excuse In The
downtown sections.

tices on the streets of the capital The
