the people of the Crown City are to
extend a helping hand to the needy
and suffering of San Francisco.
Scores of tents are going up in Tour

the rounds of the city securing rooms
for the accommodation of the expect
ed strangers and plans are laid for
daily canvass of the city for food with
which to feed the men, women and
children who are expected to test the
citys hospitality.
The city was never in better shape
to handle a great crowd of these
refugees from the fact that this is the
interim between the seasons. Many
of the winters population have left for
their eastern homes and the summer
influx of strangers has not yet hardly
begun. This means that there are
many rooms and vacant houses ready
for Just such an emergency.

FIVE TRAINLOADS
OF SAN FRANCISCO
REFUGEES ARRIVE
CROWDS AWAIT THEIR LOVED ONES
Many Shelter Tents Pitched in Agricultural Park.
Temporary Free Lunch Counter Erected at
Arcade Station-Native Sons Assist in
Directing People to Hayens.

Five trainloads of refugees from the
north arrived in Los Angeles yesterday,
the total number being nearly two thou
sand. Four hundred on the third sec
tion of train No. 2S were in a destitute
condition.
Men with several days growth of
beard on their faces. women scantily
clad, wild-eyed for want of sleep and
faces drawn by the pangs of hunger,
presented a sight that was pitiable.
on the free train were many men of
means, who could not get money enough
10 pay their fares and consequently had
Il, ride on this train, which was COM
posed of chair cars and day coaches.
Leave Naked and Hungry
All told the same tale of horror; how
they were nearly starved for want of
food and water; how they left the city
half naked and were given clothing by
kind people. Along the route the
hungry people were given leaves of
bread and other edibles, Their hunger
was appeased before they reached here.
One woman on the train was clad only
in her night gown and long coat. She
had hurried to the train and got aboard
just as it was pulling out.
One little fellow about ten years OF
ase was all alone. He seemed perfectly
contented and would take none of the
aid that was offered him.
Native Sons and Daughters met the
trains Ell route and gave the people di-
rections as to where they Should go
when they reached the city
Tents have been pitched in Agricul-
tural park. One thousand were housed
there last night.
Many of the hungry were fed free
of charge at the Arcade depot where
temporary lunch counters were erected.
Pathetic Scenes at Depot
Thousands thronged the Arcade sta
tion last night awaiting the arrival
of trains. Men and women anXiously
awaiting the arrival of loved ones filled
the depot and the street in front. Some
were too wrought up to give way to
tears, while others suffered in silence
because they could not weep. When
friends found each other, they threw
their arms about each others necks
and wept and would not part.
Women crowd the newspaper offices
seeking, with tears, to learn if their
loved ones are among those who
have arrived.
Arrivals from the north say that

Los Angeles, but find that as only a
part can come they are going out of
Oakland in many directions at the rate
of fifty trainloads a day.
Days Before All Leave
1t is estimated that at .east $4,000
of the sufferers will come to Los An
geles. 1t will be days before all can
come south. There are tens of thou
sands of messages in the Oakland tele-
graph offices that will not reach their
destination for several days.
DR.. L. M. Powers, city health physi-
clan, in charge of a corps of doctors,
met all of the trains at stations en-
route to Los Angeles to give the refu-

COLLAPSE OF LICK
HOUSE CONFIRMED;
MANY ARE KILLED

The report that the Lick house or
Montgomery street collapsed during
the earthquake shock and that many
perished horribly beneath the falling
walls has been confirmed by H. Bunker
one of the last arrivals, who was taker
care of at the Native Sons hall.
Bunker was asleep on the third floor
of the Lick house when the sickenine

plowed through to the second floor
carrying with it panic and death.
The walls of Bunler's room fell

dozens of bodies are now buried be-
