Rochester Refugee witness 20 Nots Of
Summary Justice.
Z Lob Angeles April 2S.-I witnessed
the burning of Chicago in 1871 and was
in Charleston when an earthquake
created great destruction there, but
the San Francisco horror far outshad-
owed those dire calamities," said Dr.
Frank aBrker of Rochester, N. Y, who
arrived here yesterda. He continued:
II cannot believ that the loss of life
in San Francisco was confined to mere
hundreds would be the last to stretch
the facts; but am convinced that sew
eral thousand persons suffered death.
"The soldiers and citizens are doing
heroic work everywhere. Thieves and
hooters are dealt with summarily.
personally witnessed the sudden demise
of several ghoulish men,, I saw a fel-
low sutting rings from the hands Of
dead woman on Bush street, just below
Sacramento. There was rush Of men,
and within few minutes the robber
was dangling from pole. One inno-
cent man met death at the hands Of
the military. He was the cashier of a
bank and refused to run into the bank
building He was shot. Another fel-
low robbed a coffee store and was
found by a policeman selling his spoils
on the street. He ran but was halted
by a bullet don't know whether he
was killed or not"
Calls IL Nightmare.
F. A. Baker, of New York, was asleep
in the fourth floor of the ST. Francis
hotel in San Francisco when the first
earthquake shock came.
IT was awakened by the violent rat
tling of the windows" he said, "and for
a moment / thought hurricane must
be blowing. AS 1 lay there I suddenly
felt a strange movement. This was as

got up and put on some clothes and
went into the bathroom. There the
little tiles were wiggling their way out
of the walls and dancing across the
floor. When I went out in the hall I
was surprised to find how uietly every
body was taking 1t. suppose we were
all very much frightened, but did not
see anyone in a panic.
A woman came UP TO me ana asked:
"a woman came up to me and asked:
Can you tell me if the elevator has
begun?' l told her thought it was
to early.
Warned Of Chandeliers.
''when 1 went downstairs a clerk
warned me to look out for the chan
,deliers in the lobby. When I saw
them I knew what it all meant. These
huge masses Of dangling cut glass were
swinging back and forth at the hot
tom Of their twelve-foot rods till they
nearly touched the ceiling on the other
side.
"a little later met the Bakers. They
had stayed in bed during the shock,
thinking it was safest to do so. To-
gether we wentout on the streets.
''At first 1 thought the whole city
was wrecked, but the appearance was
given largely by the falling Of so many
brick chimneys. don't wonder at any
body thinking San Francisco had been
torn to pieces by the earthquake"

SMALLPOX THREATENS.
scou&se Of Disease May Affliet Suffer-
inn San Franeiscans.

Oakland Cal, April 23.-tA scourge
pf smallpox threatens to afflict the
Etricken inhabitants of San Francisco,
4 rendered homeless and starving by the
combined list of earthquakes and fire.
Tho the health officials and the mili-
tary have made every effort to prevent
The spread Of the news and the conse-
Quent panic, the grim fact remains that
there are at present. nine cases of
smallpox being treated at the Presidio
reservation pest house, and they We're
1 found In the midst of the huddled refu-
gees in Golden Gate park and the tenn
porary tenting grounds of Jefferson
square.
In the half light of dawn Saturday
morning q covered wagon backed up
I'd a group of tents in the congested
camp at Jefferson square and three
covered bodies were stealthily slipped
into the wagon box.
Rumor Spreads Thru Camps.
But there were sleepless eyes that
caught the significance Of the furtive
maneuver, and on the wings of the ru-
NOR there spread thruout all the camps
\ Of the refugees and down the long
thread lines streaming away from the
bake shop the whispered words Small
pox has come"
The sanitary conditions are such that
unless the greatest precautions are en-
forced an epidemic must inevitably
follow the fearful ravages of quake
and fame. In the temporary camps for
the refugees all sorts and conditions Of
folks are jammed together In the mar
rowest limits with not the thickness Of
fa ten wall separating them from their
fellows in many instances.
The open manholes Of the sewers are
made to do duty as sanitary accom-
modations. In two instances agents of
the water company have found that the
jarring Of the earthquake had permit
ted sewer water to seep into the wa
ter mains, and the supply for drinking
purposes was being contaminated. The
defect was remedied, but how many
people had unknowingly risked the
danger Of disease before the break was
discovered Is a matter for conjecture.
Miasma from Corpses a Menace.
Worst of all the menaces that now
hang over the health of the homeless
thousands is the misama from putrefy-
ing bodies that is beginning to be no.
ticeable thruout many portions of the
ruins.
Along what was once Mission and
Howard streets, wher the collapse Of
cheap lodging houses, following the jar
OF the earthquake Wednesday morn
ing, burying unnumbered sleepers in
the ruins and in the red light district
Of Turk and Eddy streets where
drunken revelers returned to sleep on
Wednesday night, daring the flames
that consumed them, the stencil from
decaying bodies is becoming appalling.
Yet nothing can be done toward any
systematic clearing away of the ruins
and interment of the dead until a force
of laborers from the interior of the
state can be brought to the city.
