FEW WERE SHOT TO DEATH.
Denial That Executions Occurred In
Frisco.

The records of coroner Walsh OF
San Francisco disprove the widely
circulated stories that large numbers
of people were shot and killed by
the soldiers during the great fire that
followed the earthquake. OF the
cases handled by this officer, in one
only was it found that death was due
to gunshot wounds. The exception was
Hebert Tilden, killed by a civic guards
man, who had the mistaken idea that
the automobile in which Tilden was
riding was being used for looted pur-
poses. The military authorities have
records of two cases of killing for
disobedience of military orders, but
there is not single record of any
person being shot to death Tor looting.
my office has reports showing 1858
Deaths said coroner Walsh. "In the
time of great excitement we heard Of
man. cases of shooting, but the fact
that we never got the bodies convinces
me that the stories were false. In all
our 35S cases, with the exception
mentioned, death was due to one of
three causes-fractured SKULL, crush
ing of the body or asphyxiation."

Mr.. Roosevelt Talks to Newspaper
Men on Rate Bill.

Thirty-six members of the corps of
Washington correspondents represent
ing the leading daily newspapers and
press associations in the United
States, met President Roosevelt by
invitation in the cabinet room of the
executive offices recently to discuss
with him the status of railroad rate
legislation and to learn the presidents
views as to certain pending amend
ments to the Hepburn bill. The meet
ing lasted more than an hour. While
the president made it clear at the out
set that he desired not to be quoted
directly as to the views which he
might express, he was perfectly will
ing that his views should be known
and stated in the language of the
members of the press who were pre-
sent.
The discussion dealt chiefly with
the various propositions for a court
review, from the board amendment
proposed by Senator Bailey of Texas
to the restricted amendment offered
Senator Long of Kansas. The presi-
dent in the beginning indicated clearly
and positively that he would be salts
fed with the enactment of the Hep
burn bill as it was reported to the
senate from the committee on inter
state commerce. He pointed out, how
ever, that senate advocates of railroad
rate legislation-as sincere friends OF
the legislation as he himself was-be
: lieved it would be wise so to amend
the measure as to provide specifically
+ for a review of the decisions by the
. interstate commerce commission by
Z the courts.
I To this end the proposition evolved
by Senator Allison of Iowa, which nov
q practically has been agreed upon b,
the republicans of the senate, wa
r offered, and after consideration wa
q accepted by the friends of the meas
4 ure, including the president. TIL
r president expressed the opininon tina
q the effect of the Allison proposition
q was embodied in the Hepburn bill, blu
it was also his opinion, as he state
&c it today, if there is the slightes
r. doubt that the Hepburn bill, by impl
o. cation does not carry the effect of tn
n Allison proposition, it ought to be il
corporated explicitly in the measur
before it's enactment into law. Pc
S. sonally he favors the narrower r
striction of the amendment of Senate
IS Long but some other advocates of tn
legislation do not favor the amen
,+ ment.
w. He made it clear that the judgmel
70 of the friends of the measure was {
"A evenly balanced on the question of II
- Long amendment that it was scarce
a worth while to make a contest for
or as a year or two of the laws operate
~ would demonstrate clearly whether
-. would be necessary further to amer

-, tor Long.
D. The president assured his heare
that he and every advocate of t

~ perfectly with the Hepburn bill wi

Lovers Lane.

It goes beneath a checkered arch
,Of leaf and sunlight oak and larch {;
Athwart a mead of meadow-sweet,
A field of lily-bordered wheat;
Through groves of bridal birch it
turns
And mossy hollows, deep in ferns;
Then up a hill and down a glen,
From nowhere out and back again:
And many feet have worn it plain
That errant way of lovers lane.
There, unafraid, the voolfolk play;
There wanton briers dip and sway
To catch and keep whatever comes
And make much work for clumsy
thumbs
or loosing trees and lacing shoe
Such tasks as lovers love to do.

Nor yet of castles reared in Spain
By architects of lovers lane.
