Many Signs of Disaster

AS members of the board of investi-
CATION into the condition of the refu-
gees walked from house to house the
fearful details of the havoc wrought
by the disaster We're apparent at every
glance. In an East First street den
a little family of four occupied one
room. There was the mother a young
woman with soft black hair and deli
cate features. The father, signing,
looked down upon his two children as
they played about the floor.
where's sister, father?" came the
childish treble of the oldest of the
youngsters as he looked at his father,
his little eyes staring his appeal. The
man only shook his head and WINGED at
that plaintive wall, for the little sister
was somewhere in the ruins of that
great hell of disaster. The father dared
not look toward his wife as he tried to
soothe the babies.
In the homes for working men the
refugees are bunked one after another
in short, squat cots like patients in a
hospital ward.

or sorrow and affliction on the one hand
and stories of dauntless bravery ana
cheerful self sacrifice on the other
Down into these rat holes of the city
the visitors went, many of them mem
bers of well-to-do families of the north
ern cities. In these mean rooms they
started life again.
In one place small family of refu-
gees were huddled. The room was
small and pitifully bare. lonely
candle of ghastly appearance sputtered
out it's few remaining hours of eX-
istence from the neck of one-time
soda bottle But the peace of love and
relief was marked strongly on the
features of the little family. They
talked of their losses in the great dis
aster without a sigh for the past and
with only words of encouragement for
the future. A tiny canary peered down
upon his owners from the battered
bars of his once beautiful cage.

Slept in Muddy Gutter

Say" drawed one refugee as he
kicked off what had once been an
eminently respectable representative
of the genus shoe This here bed is
all right but the burned pillow keeps
moving round so that you can't keep
UP with it,"
Jaw. shut up" came the growl from
a big man in an adjoining cot. How
many days has 1t been since you slept
with your head in the gutter and your
feet in a mudhole?"
Down at one end of the long row of
sufferers a small. slender man tossed
about on his bunk and seemed in
mental anguish.
"What's troublin' you, friend?" asked
neighbor, and the voice of the man
was peevish and whining as he an
swered that the earthquake had ruined
him. 81 lost $500 in that fire, every
cent had on earth," he whimpered.

Loss Of Wholesale Merchant

"All right, buck up" responded the
neighbor. II lost few dimes in that
fire myself. am Ed Kearney, once a
wholesale grocer. L lost $250,000, but
we'll come out all right
Everywhere the spirit of reconstruc-
tion was apparent among the refugees,
Women were happy in. their hovel
homes. Those who had had a half
dozen servants to do their bidding
hummed little mother tunes as they
pinned up scraps of gaudy cloth at the
windows of their temporary abodes or
attempted to fold coverlet so that the
torn places would not be noticed. Even
rooms rented at 10 cents were not to
be lily treated.
While refugees are being cared for
by the willing hands of the city these
remnants of homes of refinement and
education are haunting the cheap lunch
stands and lodging houses. elSing out
an existence by dint of manual labor
and waiting like martyrs of old for the
time when a new day shall dawn and
San Francisco shall reclaim her own,

shooting at Nigllt.

The development Of accuracy in shoot
ing at night has received a double impetus
OF late in the British service. A new sight
has been adopted and is being Manufactured
and issued with ell possible despatch.
This sight, telescope pattern, is defined
by electric light for night work. 1t has been
extensively tried under all conditions and
has proved signal success. Quite recently
also, greatly improved 36-inch search
light has supplanted the regulation a.
inch light, which is capable of defining
an enemy at over double the distance of
its predecessor.
Owing to the excellent training afforded
by the gunnery branch, our naval gunners
can now, with the aid OF their latest sight
and searchlight, depend on disabling an
enemy at from 5000 to 1000 yards on a
favorable night.

and Should be Given Attention
at Once.
The most common cause Of weak and
shattered nerves is faulty digestion.
For that reason Mi.o-na stomach tab
lets are of the greatest good to any
nervous sufferer. They strengthen the
digestive system so that it will assimi-
late all the elements of nerve force
from the daily food, and the nerves
will be strengthened, sleeplessness will
be overcome and weakness will vanish.
If you have specks before the eyes,
sick and nervous headaches or back
aches, in fact. if there are any symp-
toms of indigestion or nervousness, be-
gin the use of Mona at once, and you
will soon notice improvement in
health.
You run no risk in buying Mi-o-na,
for G. y. Parcher gives an absolute
guarantee with every so cent box, that
the money will be refunded unless
Mi-o-na does all that is claimed for it.

Minister Cheng Inferentially
Charges U. s. Officials
With Fraud.
REPRESENTATIVE DENLY OF
MICHIGAN MAKES ANSWER
Strongly Denies Statement That
Officers WrOngfully Issue
Certificates.

WASHINGTON, April l6.-Sr Cheng
Tung Lang Chcng, tho Chinese Minister.
has talten issue with Representative
DENLY OF Michigan on the question OF the
responsibility for the issuance Of fraudu-
lent certificates OF admission TO the
United States. Mr.. DENLY stated to the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs dur
Ing the hearing on the Foster bill
amending the exclusion act that the fact
that so many Of these certificates were
found to be fraudulent was pretty fair
evidence OF the fraud OF the Chinese OH
cials.
Has Kept a Record.
To this charge the Chinese Minister has
replied In q letter which has been made
a part OF the record in these hearings
During the three years he has been in
charge OF the legation here, the Minister
says. he has q record of every certificate
that has been Issued In the pro1inces OF
KwanStung or Fukien to Chinese sub
JectS departing for the United States the
Philippines or Hawaii; that the emigra-
tion from all other provinces Is insignln-
the total number issued However, he
says the figures OF the immigration for
these three years shows the total number
of applicants for admission bearing GER
tliicates numbers coo
The Minister then comments rs follows.
Not UP to China.
Mono of these officers has been au-
thorlzcd by the Chinese Government to
Issue the required certificates and none Is
subject TO the control OF the Chinese
Government When Mr. DENLY SAYS that
China Is the most nagrantly guilty party
In this matter. does he mean that the
above named countries are parts OF the
Chinese empire and therefore the officers
of these countries are Chinese officials"
Consequently" he continues, II con-
slider the intimation OF Mr. DENLY that
but for the vigilance of the immigration
officers there would have been a traffic I'm
bringing In illegal Chinese which would
have enriched thousands OF officials, and
our country would have overrun with
them here II there had been no exclusion
law as an emanation from q fertile i'm
ogination rather than a trustworthy Judg
ment founded on cold facts.
Representative DENLY. who Is a mem
ber of the Foreign Affairs Committee,
made this statement tonight:
Denby Makes Answer.
1T was to have been expected that his
Excellcncy would not admit that the
fraud. because he Is the Chinese Minis
ter My statements were based on facts
and fair inference, Every assertion can
be easily proved. The Minister'S state
mcnt Is painfully, though. l hope. unin-
tentlonally, misleading The records OF
the Bureau of Immigration show conclu-
sivcly that, during the period referred to,
So applicants bearing certificates issued
In China by Chinese officials presented
themselves at various ports in the United
States VIII the Minister admit that 36S
certificates not reported to him were
fraudulent He becomes the best wit
ness In proof OF my assertion"
