WILD STORIES ABOUT
KILLING ARE NOT TRUE
Disproof of the wild stories about
people killed by soldiers during tho
great fire is furnished by the records
of the Coroner's Office and the records
of the military authorities. The only
killing of that kind officially known to
the Coroner is that of II. G. Tilden,
shot by members of a citizens patrol
Two were killed by National Guards
men-Joseph Myers and Joseph Rior-
dan.
Coroner Walsh said yesterday:
"My Office has reports showing three
hundred and fifty-eight deaths. In each
case, either shortly after death or when
hastily-interred bodies were exhumed,
an examination was made. We handled
just one gunsbot ease, that of IIeber
Tilden. In the time of great excite
ment we heard of many cases of shoot
ing, but the fact that we never got
the bodies conyinces me that the stories
were false. For instance. we were told
that three men were shot on East
street on the day of the earthquake and
buried where they fell. We dug up
three Bodies at the place mentioned,
and Dr. Kueich, my autopsy physician,
performed autopsies in each case. These
victims, one Chinese and the other two
white, were not shot, the condition of
their bodies proving conclusively that
they were killed by falling walls.
"In all our three hundred and fifty
eight cases, with the exception men
toned, death was due to one of three
causes, fractured skull, crushing of the
body, or asphyxiation."
PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE
ON REGULAR FOOTING
"The earthquake and fire have not
affected, nor will they affect, the main
tenance of regular service by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company" an
nounced X. i. Schwcrin, vice.president
and general manager of the company,
who returned from the East few
days ago. "All our steamers are run
ming on n schedule time, both on our
Oriental line and to Coast ports. ] am
just advised that the Mongolia, which
is due to arrive on Sunday, is bring
ing 200 passengers.
The Pacific Mail will continue, so
far as conditions will permit, to con
duet its business as if nothing bad
happened. One Of the company's new
docks has been turned over by the
Harbor Commissioners, temporarily, to
the Oriental Warehouse Company for
the warehousing of merchandise con
signed to local merchants who are un-
able to accept their freight, but as soon
as this condition is relieved the two
docks will be given to tue Pacific Mail.
Just how long it will be necessary to
| continue the storage Of merchandise in
these temporary quarters ] am not in
position to say
I Mr.. Schwerin says he has not as yet
given any thought to the question Of
establishing permanent quarters for the
general Offices Of the Pacific Mail.
4 There IL possibility, he says, that the
company will return TO its former quar-
ters in the Merchants Exchange,
which, he is assured, will be made
habitable as soon as the Merchants FIX
, change RECEIVERS its insurance money.
