the labor ticket.
But Langdon has been continu-
ally kicking over the traces in re-.
fusing to do the bidding of Ruef.
His first break was made when
Ruef sought to make San Francisco
a wide open town. He gave the
gamblers permission to run for a
consideration and then when they
opened up their games ordered the
police to keep "hands off,"
This did not suit Langdon. He
personally conducted several raids
and the gauntlet between him and
Ruef was thrown down.
1t has been a fight to the finish
since.
Langdon secured the services Of
Francis J. Heney, the man who
convicted the famous land fraud
men in the state of Oregon, to aid
him in bringing the political
grafters of this city to book.
1t is said that Langdon and
Heney have secured a lot Of evil
dence against Ruef and his gang
They were preparing special
grand Jury to investigate the
charges when Ruef came through
with the master move to put them
both out of Office.

Almost Immediately after her

Mrs. Maxwell, who asked for the
pattern of new centerptece which
she had admired at Mrs. Welch's.

She picked up the note and tore
it into shreds. Then she sat down
according to her habit to think it
over quietly"
Albert WEIGH breakfasted alone
next morning. When he came home
to dinner that night he found a
note from Winifred saying that she
and Jennie, their little daughter,
and maid had gone to Bradford for
a few days, as the child seemed to
be ailing.
This information caused him to
change color. The idea that she
would go without consulting him
caused him to be a little piqued;
however, he thought, 1t was just
as we'll to have Winifred away that
evening. In that case nobody could
take exception to his joining the
Hooper's party at the opera. With
this idea consoling him he went to
dress.
AS he crossed the street on the
way from the house a little black
figure darted out of the door and
followed him in the shadow.
The windows of the Hooper
home were open and Winifred
watched her husband greet Miss
Voysey, who was dressed for the
opera.
Laura Voysey had a headache
and begged Mr.. Welch to remain
at home to keep her company. This
he consented to do, and the others
went out.
Instead of remaining indoors, the
two sat at home, went over to a
little park across the street and
there the wife watched them I'M

SHOUT OF THE FiEnDS.
Flying Rollers Cheer When They
Hear of San Francisco Disaster.

Benton Harbor, Mich, April / The
Flying Rollers of the House Of David,
elan of people who reside in this city
and who number 800 here, greeted the
news of the San Francisco disaster with
a band of music The Israeiites have
been predicting such a visitation upon
the people of San Francisco. and they
claim that this great disaster is to be
followed by many more of its kind.
1t was their missionary, Mary Me
Dermitt, who Stood up among the PED
pde of San Francisco a few DAYS ago
and, after she had been reviled and per-
secuted, called down judgment upon
their heads and told them that they
woald be visited by fire and earthquake
in few days and that the disaster
should be one Of the greatest in the
history of the world
Tie Israelites gave biblical citations
to show that the earth is to come to
an end in 1916, and that the years be-
tween that day and the present time
viii be filed with many disasters which
will overshadow the present one They
claim that the wrath of God will de-
scend upon the people of this EARTH
and that it will be visited by every
manner of horror. They believe that
$4,000 people who accept their faith
will be saved and that all the rest will
perish. They themselves will never die,

said today, in an interview, that the

Ter Supply Is Be:iersd.

San Francisco, April 24.-Following
yesterdays rain which greatly intensi-
fled the misery and suffering of the
homeless people of this stricken city,
last night was one of comparative COM
fort and greatly improved conditions.
The night was clear, warm and balmy
and there was less suffering among the
thousands of refugees than any time
since the day of the disaster.
Conditions of the people is constantly
growing better. Relief work is being
organized with every day and the dis
tribution of provisions and providing
shelter is daily becoming more syste-
matte and methodical. Hundreds OF
men have been placed at work clearing
the streets and dynamiting the totterine
walls which were left standing by the
fire. The Spring Valley Water com
pany has about one thousand men at
work repairing and replacing broken
water mains and many portions OF the
residence sections are now abundantly
supplied with water.

AFFECTED THE INSTRUMENTS
Earthquake Shock Made Apparatus
at Washington Nervous.

The San Francisco earthquake reach
ed across the entire continent. The SETS
mograph, at the weather bureau in
Washington showed such Il violent agi
tation about $50 o'clock yesterday
morning that the pen passed off the rec
ording sheet. The instrument at l2:45
o'clock was still under vibration, show
ing that the earthquake had not ceased.
In connection with the vibrations in
Washington, Professor Willis Moore of
the weather bureau said that The erup-
ton of Vesuvius was recorded during
its entire period on the magnetic instru-
ments of the research station at Mount
Weather, few miles from Washington
in Virginia. Professor Moore stated,
however, that this was not an earth
quake record, but rather that Vesuvius
acted like powerful wireless transmit
ter and Mount Weather as the receiver,
Vesuvius with its eruptions there dis,
turbing the electrical potentials, which
disturbances sent out electro magnetic
waves that encircled the earth. The rec
ords at Mount Weather were clear and
distinct.
Professor Moore was not prepared to
say whether the eruption of Nesnvius
had anything to do with the present
earthquake.
The second shock felt in San Francis
co at Sis o'clock yesterday morning
was clearly indicated by the weather
bureaus Instruments, thus showing that
the entire continent still is affected.
New York, April l9.-The Western
Union company received news from
Frisco at 6:40 a. M, New York time,
that the fire there has reached Mob hill
above the resident district of the city
and that the Fairmont hotel, the new
structure erected by Mrs. Oelrich's was
in flames.

nc. TlLDeN KILLED At MIDNIGHT
Member of the Relief Committee;
Shot, Il Is Supposed, BY One
Of the Patrolmen.
Especial to The Free Press.1

San Francisco, April 23.-Thousands
of San Francisco's homeless slept in the
open, if they slept at all, IN drench-
ing rain, adding untold misery and sui
fering to those whose cup is already
full. Shortly after midnight it began to
rain and continued three hours from
drizzle at times to a heavy downpour
for few minutes. At six o'clock the
rain began to fall again and indications
are that it may continue all day. Rain
has cooled the ruins and eXtinguishei
some of the fires which still Illuminated

H. c. Tilden, one OF the most promi-
nent members of the general relief com
mittee, was shot and almost instantly
killed in his automobile about twelve
o'clock at night while returning from
q Menlo park, by men supposed to be
members of the citizens patrol.

When the shock came he rushed for
the stairway, but the building was
swaying and shaking so that he could
make no Roadway, and he turned back.
He threw himself in front of the dres-

to protect him from the falling timbers.
This move saved his life. The dresser
held up the beams and these in turn
protected him from the mass of debris.

State Official Declares Adulterated
Foods an Appalling Menace.

AT recent meeting of the executive
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food Departments,
the secretary of a state board made
the assertion, and produced figures to
prove it, that the death of nearly half
a million little children in America
last year was due to poisons admins
tered in impure foods.
Welcome, indeed, is a food that is
known to be pure and wholesome, rich
in nutrition and good to eat-so good
that no other food can take it's place.
We refer to Malta-Vita, that delicious
crisp. whole wheat food. Among all
the cereal foods we believe Malta-Vita
is the only food that is simply and
wholly pure grain product and nothing
else, except n little salt. 1t is free
from any foreign sweetening agent or
other adulterant, and is made in abb
solute cleanliness.
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita, and it's just as
good three times q day. Containing
every food element of the best white
wheat and pure barley malt extract, it

PREDICTED THE DISASTER.
Able Moreau, Paris Savant, Fore
told San Francisco Earthquake.

From Fridays Daily.
Able Moreau, in Paris dispatch to
The Minneapolis Sunday Journal, Oct.
2S, predicted the catastrophe which has
overwhelmed San francisco.
This prediction was published day
later in The Free Press.
Not only this, but announced that
the spring of 1906 would be marked
by four principal disturbances, and the
occurrences of March and April have
fulfilled his prophecy. ~.
Here is Able Moreau's specific state
ment of the disturbances to be eX-
pected, and the verifcation of his fore

and succeeding days.
Able MOreau's prediction was publish
ed in The Sunday Journal Oct. 20, 1905,
in Paris dispatch of the New York
Herald cable service, exclusively used in
the northwest in The Sunday Journal.
The dispatch read as follows:
Paris, Oct. 2S.-Abbe Moreau, writing
on the subject of the recent solar activ
| ity, says: 'As the solar activity will
slowly diminish, it is highly probable
that earthquakes will occme in March
or April next"
1t will be remembered that Able Mo-
reau, in an article which was widely
copied, predicted the earthquakes which
a few months ago devastated India and
which, he holds, were due to srnspots
He maintained the following in an ar
ticle published this week:
'There is connection between solar
activity and volcanoes and even earth
quakes.
''Thc awakening of the internal forces
Of the globe comedies with a sudden
change in the curve of sunspots if it
rises or if it falls. The number of
sunspots is not alone decisive factor;
there must be sudden approximations or
liminutions.
Earthquakes, and especially volcanic
action, are localized on the lines of frac-
ture of the globe, and particularly at
the intersection of these lines: The
west coast of the two Americas; the
lire including the volcanic districts of
eastern Asia; the South Sea islands and
Australia, and the depression of the
Mediterranean, cutting the three first
lines of fracture almost at right angles
These are facts. Hypothesis less
certain have been suggested. The sun
acts on the crust of the earth by caus-
ing its potential electricity to vary or
by modifying the, heat sent to the
earth. For both there would be a dila-
ton or shrinking of the envelop"
