story of an Eyewitness.
LOS ANGELES, April 9O.-"San Jose,
which was the prettiest little city In Cali
fornia," said William White. a sheriff of
this county, this morning, as he stepped
off the train at River station, lis the worst
looking wreck / ever saw. When I left
there at 10 o'clock nineteen bodies had been
recovered and there was a possibility that
others would be found. I reached Agnew
hospital few hours later in an auto
mobile and was one of the first on the spot.
There 1 helped to carry out sixty corpses.
At noon, when I arrived at San Jose. II
was believed that fully 100 bodies were still
in the ruins.
1.-The shock came to San Jose at 5:l2:45.
according to the clock in the st. James
hotel, which was stopped. Supreme Court
Clerk Jordan. my young nephew, Walter
Jordan. and myself occupied apartments
on the fourth floor of the St. James hotel.
The shock awoke all three of us, but only
seemed to disturb my nephew, who COM
menced calling out. Then the plastering
peeled Off in great chunks, the chimney
fell and knocked a great hole in the roof
We Immediately made our way down stairs
and into the street. 1t was full of people,
dressed and undressed. who were running
about distractedly, not knowing what to
do. The east wing Of the Vendome hotel,
a three-story frame house, had fallen in
and some of the guests had to be dug out
of the ruins. While ! was there the body
of Deputy Sheriff OToole OF Gilroy, with
whom l had conversed the previous night
was carried into the street.
There is not a brick or stone building
of two stories or over in San Jose today
that has not been levelled 10 the ground
or that will not have to be torn down.
Some fires started after the quake, but the
fire department soon had them under con-
troll
II secured an automobile at o'clock
and left for Agnew with two or three Of
the visiting sheriffs. The sight there was
awful. The walls were standing, but the
floors had fallen in.
Scores Of insane persons were running
about in the grounds, unmatched and IN
cared for. 1 helped to take out the body
of Dr. Kelly, the assistant superintendent
Of the asylum, who had been instantly
killed. A nurse, who was also taken out
Of the ruins by me, died a little later.
When I left there at noon for San lose
It was with the intention OF securing a
company of national guards to go out to
the asylum. but the sheriff Of Santa Clara
county had sworn in several hundred dep
uties and some Of them went out at once
TO take charge. San Jose is under mar
tial law and the city is thoroughly patroled
by the militia Those that died we're all
residents OF the town. OF the many visi-
tors OF the Royal Arch, sheriffs and sup
ervisors, few only received slight in
juries.
after getting away from San Jose I
saw evidences Of the earthquake at Niles
and even as far away as Livermore, in
the shape Of fallen chimneys and broken
glass"
