and cots and with this want supplied,
suffering will be reduced to minimum.
The long bread lines established at re-
lief stations present queer spectacles.
Men formerly rich in worlds goods
and prominent in the affairs of the
city, stand side by side with day la
borers, each anxious to receive their
share of the common food. No dis
tinction is made in the treatment ac.
corded the richer class, while the rich
men seldom attempt to take any ad-
vantage over their fellow sufferers.
Children Born on Streets.
Many hardships have been added
to the lot of women, by the many pre-
mature births that have occurred since
the earthquake. Over one hundred
cases of births in the streets of the
city have been reported to the police
and it is safe to suppose that an equal
number has occurred and never been
brought to their attention. In one
case two children were born stimuli
taneously to two women passengers
on train leaving the wrecked city,
and another case of woman giving
birth to triplets on the street is re-
corded. In every instance the passers.
by did everything in their power to
make the occasion as comfortable as
possible and frequently much needed
clothing was parted with in order to
relieve the woman.
Liquor Destroyed.
The marines yesterday destroyed a
considerable quantity of liquor In the
section Of the city in which they hold
sway. This is the best portion of the
residence district and although they
have ruled with an iron hand, they
have exercised such good judgment
that not single complaint has been
made. The liquor destroyed was in a
store which reopened with bar attach
ment. The dairy mems association has
announced that 1t will furnish milk free
to relief stations until May.
