tells of an occasion when the humor-
list. who Is, as rule. extremely
averse to social functions, was in
duocd TO attend a literary dinner
in indianapolis given in honor of a
noyc,ist OF that city.
Riley had been told off to take in
to dinner the sister of his host. an
excellent woman, though anything
but literary"
The conversation touching upon
the beauties Of Ch,ucer, about whom
certain set of the city was then cul-
tivating fad, spirited discussion
ensued, during which the bewildered
sister caught from time to time only
the name of "Chaucer."
At last she whispered to Riley:
"w-ho is this Mr.. Chaucer they're
talking about so much? Is he very
popular in society,""

CHORAL SOCIETY
y OFFERS ANOTHER
PERFORMING CE

The Los Angeles Choral society,
numbering 200 voices, under the direc-
tion OF Prof julius Albert jain, and
the business management Of L. E..
Behymer having donated the services
of this organization for benefit of
the Vesuvius sufferers next Friday
evening at Mason opera house, will
carry out their program for that pur-
pose and hope that although disaster
has fallen nearer home, the Los An
geles public will support them in this
movement to assist their foreign
brothers.
At meeting of the Los Angeles
Choral association yesterday morning
the management received the assur-
ance that every member of the organi-
zation stood ready to donate their ser
vices a second time for the purpose of
assisting financially the San Francisco
earthquake sufferers.
If an auditorium can be secured early
in the week this organization, assist
ed by we'll known soloists, will repeat
their entire program for the above OBJ
ject.
The Los Angeles symphony orchestra
will unite in this work. The soloists
include Tom Karl, the well known
tenor; Mrs. Catherine Collette, the So
prano, who will be heard in '"The Hymn
of Praise" For the "Stabat Mater"
Mr.. Harry Barnhart will sing the bass
role. Maude Reese Davies has been
selected as the soprano, and Norma
Rockhold Robbins as the contralto.

into n stampede like so many wild
cattle.
Details of police were sent from the
central station to quiet the throng.
After some little difficulty the officers
were successful in disbursing the gath
erlng.
The woman appeared suddenly from
WLence no one knew and began 20
preach on the wickedness of Los An
geles. Her pitched voice pene-
trated the different resorts and the
crowd soon gathered. Within short
time the woman had the gathering
worked up into such a state of fear
that they broke into a panic.
In the southwest part of the city two
boys initiated Paul Revere" by riding
from house to house crying warnings
to the residents. They continued this
performance until late in the night
Men who had been to the city last
evening returned to their homes In that
section of town and found their fam
lilies in great state of fear. In vain
they tried to allay the fear but up to
an early hour this morning the COM
motion continued to reign.
In some parts of the district In which
the lads rode the women and children
were busy removing their household
goods and packing valuables as though
they could evade such fate as they
supposed was impending by moving out
of their homes
officers are watching districts In
which the people are moving out their
household goods for fear that thefts
will be committed by the dozens.

The fund was raised and the resolu-

. Mr.. Let's volunteered Immediately

EARTHQUAKE HAS
NO CONNECTION
WITH VESUVIUS

B. r. Baumgardt of the Baumgardt
Publishing company. 116 North Broad
way, gave the following opinion as a
scientific explanation of the terrible
earthquake:
About all that can be said in re-
gard to the present disturbance is that
the earth's interior is cooling and the
crust is therefore contracting.
IT do not think there is any direct
connection between this disturbance
and the one which recently occurred at
Vesuvius. In fact 1 am certain that
such is not the case. There may be
an indirect connection as both are ex-
pressions of internal disturbances.
"San Francisco and the cities sur
rounding it are peculiarly situated. and
that portion of the state is what would
be called weak spot so far as earth
Quakes are concerned.
"Any place, however, where high
range of mountains extends along the
coast is liable to be shaken by sim
liar disturbances. Charleston, South
Carolina, and San Francisco are per-
haps the two places in the United
States where violent earthquakes might
be expected to do the greatest amount
of damage"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-19
DOCTORS AND
NURSES WILL
BORROW BOAT

Awaiting a response from Washing
ton in order to secure the use OF a
government boatito convey them to the
stricken city of the north thirty-six
local doctors and more than fifty
nurses are holding themselves in readi-
ness to start at once for San Fran
cisco. The officials at the national
capital have been asked for the loan
of the Mccullough as a transport for
the relief expedition from this city,
and a favorable reply is expected this
morning.
Long before four o'clock yesterday
afternoon the personnel of the relief
party was complete. and 1t was thought
that 1t would be speeded toward the
north on special train over the South
ern Pacific railroad. The shock of the
earthquake which devastated so much
of Northern California also created
havoc with the roadbed of the railway
companies, and no assurance could be
given by the officials of the road that
the expedition would reach its destina-
ton at any particular time. Therefore,
after endless waiting and hopes for a
clearing of the line, it was decided to
appeal to the government and see if a
fast boat could not be secured.
Follows Appeal of Council
The relief expedition is the result of
an appeal from the city council for vol
unteers among the doctors and nurses
of the south to go to the scene of devas-
tation and aid in the humane work
of relieving the sufferers. 1t was short
ly after noon when the first call for
those skilled in surgery and the care
Of the sick was sent out to the peo-
pie of the city, but within an hour
of the time that the announcement APP
peared a response SO general and self
sacrificing was made that 1t was moth
ing il not extremely human and ben
cVolent.

PLAN MONSTER
Benefit BY
THE THEATERS

A monster benefit, probably the
greatest Los Angeles has ever wit
pessed, will be given at one of the local
theaters, probably t. Mason Opera
house, next Tuesday night and the pro-
ceeds will be sent north to aid in the
relief of the stricken and suffering peo-
pie of San Francisco.
Yesterday Mayor owen McAleer sent
the following letters to the managers
OF the local theaters and places of
amusement and as a result of the sug-
gestion the benefit will be arranged:
Acting upon recommendations of the
relief committee of citizens this day or
ganized by the city council, chamber OF
commerce and Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, with which !
heartily concur, it has been suggested
as an evidence of sympathy for our
fellow citizens of San Francisco and VI
cinity in their deep affliction, that the
theaters and places of amusement of
Los Angeles donate the net proceeds
of their entertainment for this evening
to the fund now being collected by the
citizens relief committee.
"OWEN McALEER. Mayor"
BIackwood Starts Ball
One of the letters was received by
Manager John w. Blackwood of the
Belasco theater and he Immediately
planned for the benefit, because of the
fact that the show houses last night
were nearly deserted while the people
of the city either thronged the streets
for news or stayed at home and thought
Of their friends in the north.
"The relief fund would have been but
slightly benefited by the proceeds of the
theaters last night" said Manager
Blackwood. "As soon as 1 received the
mayors note l began to arrange for a
benefit and we will probably hold the
affair next Tuesday.
with the talent now in Los Angeles
we could give the people a run for their
money, beginning at about IL o'clock
a. m. and showing until about dinner
time In the evening. We could use the
entire Orpheum bill, an act from the
"Lion and the Mouse" which will show
at the Mason, an act from the Belasco,
Grand and Burbank theaters, and a
number Of other attractions. We could
sell the seats and auction the boxes
over several times as the people left
and in that way raise a creditable
amount for the sufferers. Managr
Drown Of the Orpheum and Grand is
greatly in favor of such step instead
of handing out what small receipts we
gathered on Wednesday night"

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, April 1s.-The
earthquake which wrought disaster in
San Francisco this morning was felt
quite plainly here, the shake lasting
several seconds.
The clock in the court house tower
stopped at 515, as did also the clock
in the office of the Western Union and
in other buildings here.
At Skyland, on the summit of the
San Bernardino range. the shock was
very severe and lasted fully ten sec
onds. So far as known no damage to
buildings was done in this city.
