San Francisco, April 23.-The vic
tins of the earthquake and fire remain
ing in San Francisco were thrown into a
state of great excitement today by the
killing of H. C. Tilden, merchant
of this city and member of the relief
committee, by members of the citizens
patrol Tilden was shot while riding In
an automobile. Two other men with
him were wounded. Three of the
guards have been arrested and the
greatest Indignation prevails.
Many people have been driven insane
by 1.-THE horrors through which they
have passed and temporary deten-
ton hospital has been established in
Sacred Heart school. Dozens OF pa
tients are now housed there. The au-
thorities have accepted the offer of
Colonel T. Vain Morgan Draper to SUI
pervise the erection of huge barracks
accommodating FIVE thousand, for ref
ugees, at the Preside.
Thousands of San Franciscans, home
less slept in the open last night, if they
slept at all. A drenching rain through
the night and today added untold mis-
cry and suffering to those whose cup
was already full. Thousands of men,
women and children camped in the
parks, squares and open lots, were
awakened by rain dashing in their face
and water dropping through the impro-
vised tents. Little, however, could be
done, as facilities are entirely made
uuate to house all the homeless. Large
numbers sought the protection of trees
and bushes, fully thousand being fed
by the government at the Preside and
North Beach. Barracks for fifteen
thousand are being erected at Golden
Gate Park.
More slight shocks are being felt in
Imperial Valley, the latest early today.
The death loss, according to varied re-
ports, may total three thousand. Five
hundred bodies have been recovered
from the fire swept wreckage and as
there is great need of averting pesti-
lence, two hundred of them were Gre
mated by soldiers. Burying squads are
busy all over the city. Refugees are
fiocking on all trains away from the
scene of ruin and blasted hopes the
railroad passage being free to all parts
of the country,
The fear of an epidemic, according to
General Funston, is abating. Sanitary
conditions are improving in the camps
in Golden Gate Park and throughout
the city, but few cases Of small pox
and typhoid have been found. There
is now food and water plenty for the
survivors, although accommodations
for shelter are insufficient as yet.

TOTAL FUND oF $40, 900, 900.

From the incomplete figures of the
contributions which have been made, ii
is estimated tonight that the San Fran
cisco fund is rapidly nearing the total
of $40, 600, 600 and will have passed that
figure by Monday when the United
States congress, it is announced, will
add one million to the million appropri-
ated from the treasury at Washing
ton. In the burst of generous contrib
utors, New York ranks next to the
government itself and bids fair to far
exceed the federal contribution. To
night the New York fund amounts to
approximately $2,OOO,OOO with contri-
buttons coming in fast.
$3,OOO,OOO FROM MASSACHUSETTS,.
The State of Massachusetts has un-
dertaken to raise $4,000, 600 and with
Boston's generous help is well on the
way to the goal.
| ChlCAGO FUND ClgOOOgOOO.
Chicago's fund, spontaneously sub
scribed, is approaching 81, ,OOO,O 600 and
promises to go beyond that sum. Phil
adelphia will send $500, 900. These are
but few of the larger sums. A score
or more cities are contributing $10O,OOO
and more, while hundreds of munich
palities are sending all their means
will allow. From London, Paris, Ber-
lin and wherever Americans are con-
gregated, a generous inflow of gold is
reported.
WILL ACCEPT NO FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION
Wholly foreign contributions while
deeply appreciated, are not to be ac-
cepted, according to the precedent yes
terday in declining a gift of $4,000
from German steamship line. Amer
lea, though touched by the evidences of
foreign generosity, feels able to care
for its own.
Nor is the work of raising relief
funds confined to large cities. From
every section, every state, comes the
news of contributions made by small
towns. Not large in themselves their
aggregate will be enormous.
Pittsburg has given 100000; COM
mercial men of Cleveland, 81, 900, 900;
St. Louis, 5000, 900; Sacramento, $1OOO,-
900, and Seattle, $50, 900.
Throughout. the country theatri-
cal performances are being planned,
the proceeds to go to the relief fund.

SHOOK WITH SPIRAL MOTION

"There followed tremendous shock
which shook the building sideways and
tossed it about with something like a
spiral motion. When we reached the
street people were running hither and
thither.
"Some people passing advised US to
get on as high ground as possible, and
we started walking as fast as possible
to the high parks back of the city.
Fire was breaking out in hundreds
of places over the city and the streets
were becoming crowded with hurrying
refugees. Where they were unable to
procure horses, men and women had
harnessed themselves to carriages and
were drawing their belongings to pla-
ces of safety. AS we passed through
the residence district where wealthy
people lived, we saw automobiles drawn
up and loaded down before houses.
Their owners remained until the flames
came too near and then getting into the
machines made for the hills.
eve saw one man pay $4,000 for an
automobile in which to take his family
to place of safety.

A SCENE INDESCRIBABLE.

Before night we reached the sum-
nit of the Alta Plaza. People half
clad, unfed, hysterical, searching for
loved ones, crowded the ground.
Beneath lay the burning city, and as
nightfall came on it presented a scene
indescribable.
eve passed the night sleepless with
panic-stricken multitude. In the
morning, Thursday, we started toward
the harbor with the assistance of sol
diers from the Preside, who had already
been on duty twenty-four hours. We
got to the wharf and hoped to get a
launch to Oakland. We were unable
to, do so, but we were kindly treated by
an old skipper who was himself in deep
grief because his mother was crushed tc
death in their little house. He gave
us coffee-the only nourishment we had
excepting few crackers in twenty
four hours.
1.-THE skipper saw the Government
boat coming in the bay and said if we
could reach the Preside wharf we could
escape on the Government boat.
eve, therefore, hurried toward the
Preside, greatly impeded by fissures
which stretched long distances and
around which we had to make our way.
cat the Preside we were taken on
board with other refugees and a short

His New Book Deals With II ~ .
Disease or a Sin.
Hall Caine's new novel, just pub
lished, deals with the subject Of heredi-
tary drink craving cured by hypnotism,
says London cable to the Chicago
Post. Interviewed on the subject, Mr..
Game asks:
"Is habitual intemperance a disease
or a sin? II 1t f. a disease the victim
is an object for compassion, and the
cure lies at the door Of the physician.
If 1t is sin the ,trapsgressor is a sub
ject for reproof and punishment and
the duty Of his moral regeneration is In
the hands OF the CLERGY. II intemper-
ance Is both a disease and a sin the
legislators share, with. the physicians
and the clergy the task Of healing and
controlling 1t.
Again, which is the true place for
the habitual dryinkard, the hospital,
reformatory or. the prison? On the an
swer to that question the welfare Of a
vast proportion of the human family
seems to depend"
The authors conclusion Is that
neither the law, the church nor medical
science has yet been able to answer
the question.

COSTLY ALGERIAN PEACHES

William ]. Bryan and his wife and
daughter will never again order fresh
peaches while in Paris, sayshthe New
York Tribune. One Of the across table
stories at recent dinner for Mr. Bry-
an In a New York restaurant was as
follows:
Mutual friends invited the Bryans to
lunch at Paris hotel. The little girl.

lasting recurrence of chickens and let

when she learned that peaches were
on the bill Of fare she said she wanted
some. The waiter was asked about the
peaches, and he said that they had
some nice ones, just from Algiers, and
he would be delighted to get them for

In all, and were small and inferior in
every way to the glorious products of
the Delaware, Georgia and California
orchards, but they were peaches and
the best to be obtained in Paris.
When the waiter presented his check
there was an explosion. The bill for
the peaches was $74p in American
money. The Americah host Of the
Rryans, who had ordered the dinner,
did not try to restrain his feelings. He
roasted" the waiter, the restaurant,
the peaches and the Algerian who
grew. the little peaches. The proprie-
tor explained that peaches were rar-
ity in Paris and that importing them
from Algiers was costly undertaking.
He called them beautiful peaches, a
characterization that nearly caused the
American to hit him, but he made the
Bryan party pay the $7.20 for the
peaches.

subject:
If the Register had used the words,
"the legal right" there would proba-
bly, be no questioning the proposition,
but we certainly doubt the moral
right of any profession or occupation
to go into politics in its organized ca
capity. One of the standing grounds of
complaint in certain quarters is that
the corporations are for or against a
certain candidate. The complaint is
seldom Or never well founded but it
serves its purpose. If the railroad

But, the moment the producing
