WORE COMPOSITE
SUIT AND HAD
Fifteen CENTS

George A. Ripple, contracting agent
at San Francisco for the Erie railroad,
was among the arrivals from the
stricken city Saturday night, and de-
spite his prominence in the business
world he arrived with Is cents in cash
and remnants of five other fellows
clothes as his raiment.
Like the wayfarer of old, he was also
footsore and hungry, and when he ar
rived at the home of his friend, I. G..
Walton of the North Pacific Steamship
company, he related thrilling tales of
his escape from death in the ruinsS of
the earthquake and fires.
When the first shock occurred he
was in his offices OH the third floor of
six-story building and escaped in
scanty attire. Assuming that the first
shock was all that would occur, he res
turned to his rooms for clothing, but
as he entered the room the second
shock occurred and again he fled.
Through the streets of debris he ran,
but never returned for his clothing and
valuables. He succeeded in getting to
Oakland and Friday started for Los
Angeles.
Before starting from Oakland he was
loaned articles of apparel sufficient for
his needs and in these clothes he ar
rived. He is suffering with blistered
feet, but expects to return to San FRAN
cisco in a few days.
Before leaving he met many persons
who gave him their names and ad-
dresses and begged him to communi-
cate with friends in the east, informing
them of their safety.

AUCTION SEATS
FOR BIG BENEFIT
TOMORROW AFTERNOON SALE
sn WILL BEGIN
Such Witty Fellows as Messrs. Scott,
Weidman, Rogers and Barnum
Will officiate at the Function
In Good Cause

Tomorrow afternoon at the Mason
opera house, Joe Scott and a large force
of assistants will auction the box seats
for the big theatrical benefit to be given
in that theater week from next Thurs
day. 1t is intended that this benefit
shall rank among the most successful
financially of all the notable affairs of
the kind ever given in America.
The sum of $4,000 has been decided.
upon as tine minimum figure and the
expectations are that this sum will be
nearly reached.
The principal source from which the
larger receipts are expected is this auc-
ton sale of boxes at o'clock tomor-
row. Mr.. Scott will occupy the center
of the stage at the Mason and will be
supported by some of the most prom
inent business and professional men of
Los Angeles, and they will give free
performance of that touching drama,
Digging for Cold or the determination
of the Tightwads."
Mr.. Scott himself will play the lead
ing part, with Perry Weidman, late in
terlocutor of the Shriner minstrels, as
his chief support Their work is said
to be most realistic, especially in the
scene where they dig for their gold,
and 1t is said that money will come
into sight from all parts of the audi
ence when they reach the climax of the
act.
Earl Rogers will play the part of the
benevolent lawyer, who tracks down
the villianous plutocrat and wrests
from him his ill-gotten gains, by legal
means if possible, but in any event
wrests it, taking into account the motto
that the end justifies the meanness.
Rev. Robert Burdette will be there
too, and will contribute the results of
his long experience in raising money
from congregations, who declare that it
Is easier to give money to Mr.. Burdette
than to invest it in government bonds.
George Barnum, the witty and re-
sourceful, will be there with all his
chimes in working order, and numerous
other prominent citizens will aid Mr..
Scott.
In this case, however, there is no
reason why there should be any diff
ficulty experienced in securing big
prices for the seats, as this benefit per-
formance will be the greatest entertain
ment ever offered at the price. To see
all the acts which will be featured
would cost at least six dollars for a
single orchestra seat and an entire week
of theater going, whereas in this one
program there will be comprised all the
best acts of the week from every theater
in the city and the price for orchestra
seats is only two dollars.
The general seat sale opens Thurs
DAY morning.

SINGER TELLS
OF HER ESCAPE
BERNICE HOLMES HAS MOST
AWFUL EXPERIENCE
Manager Seamans of Hotchkiss Re-
celves Letter From Young Wom-
an-ExcelIent Talent Will
Join Local Company

After Drawing the perils of the San
Francisco disaster and spending days
and nights in the street with nothing
but bread and water for food and drnb
Miss Bernice Holmes, one of the most
popular actresses of the Pacific coast,
will come to Los Angeles next week
and open a contract with the Hotcli-
kiss theater
When the first news of the disaster
reached Los Angeles a report was cir
culated to the effect that Miss Holmes
and her mother had perished in the
whirlwind of smoke and flame. A later
report stated that Miss Holmes had
escaped with her life but that she was
in a precarious condition as a result Of
injuries received during the earthquake.
Hundreds of Miss Holmes friends in
this city sought news of her and yes
terday her safety was assured when
Manager Ed Seamans of-the Hotchkiss
received a note from Miss Holmes.
81 have escaped with my life and
would like to come to Los Angeles" :"
wrote Miss Holmes. After the first
shock L and my mother dashed frorn
the house and for two days and nights
we were on the streets, sleeping wher-
ever we found place to rest and living
on dry bread and water when we could
get it.
1.-The scenes of the destruction We're
awful. People marched by with all the
possessions they would ever save from
the flames, wheeled in little carts or
packed on their shoulders. Thousands
slept in Golden Gate park and many
were without food. If there is an en-
gagement with your company wire me
at once.''
1t took Manager Seamans just five
minutes to wire transportation to Miss
Holmes at San Rafael, where she
now is.

ABLE-BODlED MEN
NOT ENCOURAGED
TO TRAVEL SOUTH

Los Angeles is not to be swamped
with horde of refugees who will de-
pend on the charity of the residents of
this city for their daily bread is the
opinion of those who have taken in
charge the question of furnishing re-
lief to those refugees who have come
to Los Angeles.
Thomas J. Stuart, secretary of the
Associated Charities, said yesterday:
II do not believe that all told Los
Angeles will have more than 500 re-
fugees who are not fully able to care
for themselves.
Committees from our organization
have met every train coming from the
north and in almost every case those
refugees who got off the trains had
friends and relatives who met them at
the station and were more than glad
10 take care of them.
Sunday we were only called on to
provide for 1876 of these unfortunates.
and most of these came in late and
could not make connections with their
friends. Out of this number | do not
believe there are fifty who are entirely
destitute and in need of relief.
Checks Impostors
"Our own tramps are profiting by the
generosity of Los Angeles people. Sun
day 1 saw number of buns who, to
my personal knowledge, have been
nuisances in this community for fifteen
and twenty years, with their arms full
of stuff people at the depots had given
them. In several cases l made them
give the goods back"
Walter VAIL who was yesterday ap-
pointed chairman of the refugees COM
mittee, is of the same opinion as Mr..
Stuart.
I'VE will not have to care for many
of these people, said Mr. Vail Nearly
all the refugees we approach are as in
dependent as the best citizen in Los
Angeles. OF course some of the unde-
sirable element are making their way
to this city, but they will be fully
looked after by the police"
Agricultural park has been turned
into camp for refugees and is in
charge of Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Vail.
Accommodate Eight Hundred
Accommodations have been provided
there for 800 persons, if it is found
necessary to house and feed that many,
condition which is not anticipated.
Board tables have been built, cooking
ranges set up and the pavilion and
grandstand turned into sleeping apart
ments. The women will be housed in
the pavilion and the men in the grand
stand.
The fact that but comparatively few
Of the undesirable element is seeking
refuge in Los Angeles is attributed by
the executive committee largely to the
prompt action it took in passing resolu-
tions Saturday evening These resolu-
tions were further Endorsed yesterday
and copies telegraphed to Gen. Funston,
Governor Pardee and Mayor Schmitz.
4 These resolutions are to the effect that
it is believed refugees can be better
ard more economically cared for on
the ground or somewhere in the vicinity
of San Francisco than by being brought
480 miles to Los Angeles.

estes With OPP
timism

Count Ward, consul general for
Roumania at London, who is a guest
at the Hotel Alexandria and one of
the refugees of the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, predicts that San
Francisco will rise out of its ruins and
become even a greater city than it
has been in the past.
1T Is thirteen years since last
visited California. In my travels
throughout the world have yet to
find the country where the spirit Of CT
terprise is greater than among the
Americans. There is absolutely Moth
ing that can down them. They rise to
all emergencies and meet them in d
manner that is at once convincing.
San Francisco was a great city, 1t
was made so by the metal of which
it's inhabitants are made. The terrible
catastrophe that has laid it in ruins
will have absolutely no bad effects
upon it. The San Francisco people
who made the city of the past will
make a greater city of the future. It's
beautiful buildings that have been to-
tally destroyed will be replaced by
buildings that will be more beautiful,
more safe and more substantial.
