INSANE ASYLUM

Work of Rescung Unfortunate In
mates is Still Going on-At
Least 100 are Dead.

Sacramento, Cal, April pa dispatch
from Agnew says:
The work of taking out the bodies of
patients who were killed in the wreck
of the insane asylum buildings is still
going on. At the present time it is esti-
mated that at least 100 are dead
The cupola ovAr the administration de-
partment went down and all the wards
IN that part of the building collapsed,
twelve attendants were killed and DR..
Kelly. second assistant physician, was in
stantly crushed to death. There were 100
patients in the hospital and C. L. Searde,
secretary of the state commission Of
lunacy, who has been here attending to
official business declares that 1t is a
marvel that many more were not killed.
Dr. r. w. Hatch, superintendent of the
state hospitals for insane is in charge
of the relief work.
One hundred patients were transferred
to the Stockton asylum yesterday, 1t is
believed that 40 or 50 patients have es-
capped.
Mr.. searde in discussing the matter
said.
THE loss of buildings is complete, ana
they will never be restored. From what
/ have learned of the plans of the flu
ture my impression is that no such build
ings viii ever be erected again. There
win be no more brick structures. Every
thing will be steel and concrete and quite
naturally there will be no building on
the grounds more than two stories. Be

May Revive Controversy.

With legislation of the District of Co

ment of the session for Tuesday that
the House may attend the John Paul
Jones memorial exercises at Annapolis
the real legislative week of the House
will not begin until Wednesday. At that
time the agricultural appropriation will
be taken UP and its consideration contin-

ent intention to limit general debate on
the measure TO one day with view to
passing the bill by the end of the week.
The provision eliminating the usual APP
preparation for the distribution of garden
seed by members Is regarded as the pro-
vision that will contain the most talk.

taining n codfication of the criminal laws

vaneed in the near future for night ses-

San Francisco April 22.-Had 1t not
been for the sight of the rude affairs set
up in the open air wherever San Fran
ciscos homeless thousands were eamped.
one would have some difficulty in finding
any of the peaceful associations of the
sabbath in the city today. Everywhere
throughout the burned as well as the re-
naming section of the city. there was
the greatest activity. Streets were being
cleared of debris. laborers were repair
ing broken water pipes. sewers and gas
mains, electricians everywhere were seek
ing TO unentangle the almost hopeless
confusion of wires-in fact San Francisco
was in the first stages of its regenera-
ton.
There are no hungry people tonight.

banished by the magnificent response Of

appeals that went out for assistance.

sufficient quantities to overwhem the
committee which has in charge it's dis

food stuffs brought into the general de-
pot at Oakland that the general commit
tee today made an appeal for skilled
labor in the handling of these supplies.
Grocers, butchers and commission men
have been requested to secure men who
are familiar in the handling of foodstuffs
in order that. the confusion attendant
upon the distribution at the scores OF
stations established might go on without
