Inns from his sister, Mrs. w II. Ely,
who was stopping at the St Francis

assistance of the porter reached the
open air in safety | was more for
tunate than some however for the day
before 1 had sent my trunks over to
Berkeley and only had with me a suit
case. l was dressed when the shock
came for l had risen early to go over
to Berkeley as that afternoon 1 was
to leave for home.
when l got into the street l could
not think of the noise of falling walls
and the walls and crys Of the injured
Everything seemed to join in the up
roar. 1 was nearly deafened by an eX.
| plOsion which l learned afterwards
came from the gas plant,

AS we were going Gin an express wa

alone i'm the street. 1 made the drive
stop and I took the child and still hav,

been a feeling of hopefulness here that
perhaps the extent of the disaster was
not so bad as the cable news would in
dictate. But the mail advices blasted
all such hopes and now an apprecia-
ton Of the extent Of the disaster has
begun to dawn upon the local commu-
nifty
That the details which will be told to-
morrow by local survivors, will make
the disaster even worse than the Seat
tie papers tell, seems now to be the
general belif Naturally the San Fran

read with the greatest interest but the
real source Of interest to this commu-
nifty will lie in the experience of our

The judges of the Supreme and Cir
cult courts held meeting this morn
ing to consider some reforms in the
clerical work of the courts, in view
of the revelations which have been
brought to light by the Grand jury 1t
was agreed that some changes should
be made in the methods in operation,
with view to having documents more
carefully looked after and accounts bet
ter kept.
The judges decided that arrangements
should be made whereby at least one
clerk qualified to file papers and ad-
minister oaths should always be in at
tendance at the office. This will make
it unnecessary for attorneys to file pa
pers with clerks who are engaged in
court, as they have done i'm the past

with the result in many cases that the
papers did not get into the usual files
promptly as they should.
The judges agreed that there must
be regular hours of duty for the clerks
and decided to make a rule requiring
them all to be at the Office by nine
o'clock every morning. Another mat
ter decided was that entries and court
minutes must be kept up to date. This
has not been done by some of the court
clerks, for long time past. The judges
will hereafter insist on the work being
kept up to date.
Another rule to be enforced is that
prohibiting outsiders from going be-
