In the business district; toward the

standing, but it was impossible to de-

Thousands of Refugees
Seek Safety at Oakland

This afternoon the ferryboats re-
sumed running from Oakland, and to-
night thousands of homeless and panic
stricken people are leaving the city. The
suffering and hardship beggars descrip-
ton. Countless numbers in the poorer
sections, including the Chinese, Japan
csc and Italian quarters, have been
rendered homeless and unless supplies
and aid reach the city within twenty
four hours, starvation will add to the
awful calamity. -
Nearly every landmark that has
made San Francisco famous has been
laid in ruins or burned to the ground.
Never has the fate Of a city been more
| disastrous.
For three miles along the water front
buildings have been swept clean and
skeletons Of factories and offices stand
silhouetted against a background of
| fame that is slowly spreading over the
entire city. The whole commercial and
! office section Of the city on the north
side Of Market street from the ferry
| building to Tenth street has been con-
sumed in the raging hell while hardly a
building is standing in the district
south of Market street.
| At 2 o'clock am. despite the heroic
work Of the fremen and the troops of
~dynamiters, who RACED building after
building, and blew up property valued
at millions, the flames spread across
Market street and swept up Montgom-
cry street, practically to Washington
street. Along Montgomery street are
| some. Of the richest banks and com
mercial houses in San Francisco. The
famous Mills building and the new Mer-
. chants Exchange, in which is situated
the, Marine and Stock Exchanges are
still standing. but the Mutual Life In
surance building and scores Of bank
and office buildings are one fire, while
blocks of others houses are in the path
of the flames and nothing seems to be
at hand to stay their progress. Block
after block Of banking houses are now
masses of red hot ruin, and it will be
months before the money that was
housed in their valuable vaults can be
reached.

ceremony was performed while a mass
of coping overhead threatened to crush
the priests to death. Three of the men
died. Joseph Lindsay, shoemaker,
was four hours in a demolished building
and when dug out it was found that
he had not been hurt.
The entire Larkin street frontage of
the CITY hall for distance of several
hundred feet was thrown out into the
street and that thorofare for two blocks
is piled high with boulders of mortared
brick and twisted iron.
The freaks Of the earthquake were
many. Wide assures were opened in
the streets, street railways were
twisted out of line, sewers and water

chimney and cornice of the. hotel
crashed thru the frehouse adjoining,
severely injuring Fire Chief Sullivan
so that he was unable to direct the
work of frefghting. He is now in a
hospital in a precarious condition.
Despite this disheartening accident,
the fire department., assisted by part of
the Oakland department. and many vol
unteers, did heroic service, many brave
men losing their lives while perform
ing works of succor. The earth
quake, however, had broken most of the
water mains. Whatever water was OBJ
tanned to fight the flames on the harbor
front and in the factory districts was
pumped from the bay.
This compelled dynamiting, as the
only possible method of saving any of
the city.
The flames were kept confined to the
south Of Market street in the business
section until about o'clock in the
afternoon, when the wind carried
sheets Of fame into the richest part Of
the city. 49,.

1t is impossible to give anything like
an accurate statement concerning the
killed. Unquestionably many people
were either killed outright. imprisoned
or rendered unconscious in collapsed
buildings which were afterwards
burned.
At 10 clock the Occidental hotel
began to burn, and the great Croker
building, containing the Croker Wool
worth National bank, was ablaze.
On Geary street the Albert Pike
Memorial temple of the California
bodies Of the Scottish Rites, containing

THE RICE MILLS
ARE VERY BUSY

The rice mills of the city are very
busy cleaning up the new Hawaiian
crop which is just about all harvest
ed. and the large shipments of Japan
rice which has been coming in of late.
The high price of American Or Texas
seed rices, as they are called, has had
tendency to strengthen the market

Rice Mill is working overtime on ia
pan rice. and Walkers large mill is
running day and night on both Hawai-

capacity of one thousand bags day,
is cleaning up lot of rice. About fifty
young ladies Of the Kawaiahao Semi
nary. accompanied by their teachers,
visited the Walker mill a few days ago
and took great interest in watching the
process of cleaning rice. The high
price of the American rices has had
most beneficial effect on the market
here. and the planters as well as the
mills are all rejoicing over the bright
prospects of the rice industry.

THEY WANT
BETTER LAW
Liquor Men Get Busy
and Name Drafting
Committee.

The local saloon men propose to draw
up liquor law. This was decided up
on at a meeting of liquor men held on
Wednesday, afternoon.
Senator-elect c. ]. Mccarthy acted
as chairman, d. H Lewis was elected
treasurer and Harry A. Juen secretary.
On motion, this organization will be
permanent, for the time being at least.
The forty liquor men present gave
their views on the present law.
Many favored high license while
others wanted it only with the proviso
that licenses were restricted to citizens.
Everyone was in favor of the issuance
Of licenses to citizens only.
1t was also clearly shown that those
present favored the issuance of licenses
only with the consent of the Board Of
Supervisors who should also be vested
with authority to revoke.
Much was said in favor of the 1imita
ton OF the number Of saloons in pro-
portion to the number of inhabitants.
II was decided to secure data on this
matter from the mainland.
A. Wirtz, W. c. Peacock, D. H. Lew
is, r. s. Cunha and H. a. JGen were
appointed a committee to draft liquor
law. The committee will report at a
future meeting and its effort will be
submitted to an attorney to be put in
proper shape.
The committee was given authority to
confer with the Anti-Saloon League
and the Civic Federation.

PLANTERS
CLOSING DAY
Discussions Are Private
Annual Banquet
Last Night.

Executive sessions We're the order for
the concluding day of the annual con-
vention of the Hawaiian Sugar Plan
ters' Association.
Yesterday morning the experiment
station was the subject of discussion.
A proposal to erect sub-stations on the
other islands, SO as to cover climatic
and soil variations more effectively
than can be done at the Honolulu main
station, received at least favorable
consideration. Whether or not such a
plan was definitely adopted has not
been divulged.
At the afternoon session the para
mount labor question was upon the
boards. This, having been the primary
object of the organization at it's be-
ginning about a quarter of a century
ago, has always been a leading topic
at the annual conventions.
1t may safely be presumed that the
disposition of the labor settlers from
the Azores and Madeira coming in the
steamer Suveric, as we'll as of the
Philippine Islanders coming in the
Doric, figured largely in the discussion.
Last night the Association held its
annual banquet at the Alexander
Young hotel. The affair passed off
pleasantly with all the concomitants of
good fellowship and joyousness. The
menu and the order of music are given
