STRENUOUS TIMES
FOR WORKERS PAST
LABOR OF RELIEF ABOUT AT
AN END
All Organizations Now Under Diree'
tion of Citizens Committee.
Demand for Clothing Is
Still Very Great

The local relief situation has settled
down to such an extent now that from
working from twelve to fourteen hours
a day the executive committee of the
citizens organization finds 1t can COM
plete all it's duties for the day in four
or five hours.
The members of the executive COM
mittee and those who have been work
ing with them are now devoting a little
time to their own business, which they
have completely neglected during san
Francisco's trying times.
Order has grown out of more or less
chaotic state and practically every or
ganization that has previously worked
independently of the citizens committee
has placed itself under the command of
this body and a complete system is be-
ing organized. F. @. Story, chairman
of the executive committee, is in San
Francisco now consulting with the
authorities there to learn how Los An
geles can accomplish the most good
when the second appeal comes from the
stricken north.
All Working Together
The Native Sons and Daughters have
found the work has outgrown their
quarters at 211la West Second street
and turned their organization over to
the citizens committee. They are still
doing all they can to relieve refugees
who seek help from them at their
rooms, but for future needs they Will
work largely under the direction of the
citizens committee.
Nearly all fraternal orders have also
followed the example of the Native
Sons and placed themselves subject to
the order of the central organization.
In this way it will soon be possible to
learn approximately what Los Angeles
has done for San Francisco since the
first appeal for aid was received.
While the committee has urged Los
Angeles contributors to send no more
perishable goods, there still is great
demand for staples and an increasing
cry for clothing for women and child
rem.
Mrs. Willoughby Rodman has issued
an urgent appeal for every woman who
can possibly do so to bring needles and
thread with such sewing material as
she can to the assembly room of the
chamber of commerce and help in the
work of clothing the babies and women.
Commend Native Sons
Yesterday the citizens relief COM
mittee showed its appreciation of the
efforts Of the Native Sons and Daugh-
ters by passing the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the citizens relief
committee of the chamber of commerce
hereby expresses to the Native Sons
and Daughters of Los Angeles and
Southern California our appreciation
of the efficient work done by them in
aid of the earthquake sufferers; their
generous, able and systematic assist
ance has demonstrated that our native
sons and daughters possess the chacter-
istics of nobility of heart and robust
manhood and womanhood that so
pointedly distinguished their ascestors.'' -

DEATH AT HANDS

sailor of revenue cutter on duty as

ran to where his men stood and flung
himself in front of them. Although the
sailors threatened to shoot him down.
he continued to hold the perilous place

OAKLAND BANKS
RESUME BUSINESS
MORE MONEY DEPOSITED THAN
WITHDRAWN
Patrons Evidently Are Not Alarmed
Concerning Their Wealth in
the Hands of Others.
Checks Cashed
Rv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
OAKLAND, April 26-The Oakland
banks opened for the second time to-
day, and from all appearances the oc-
casion might have been the ordinary
banking hours of the various institu-
tions. At several of the banks only a
small group of persons were in sight
to transact business, while at one or
two places not more than two or three
patrons occupied the attention of the
tellers.
Yesterday there was a great deal
more money deposited than withdrawn,
which the officials take as further in
dicaton that business has continued
with slight interruption, and that busi-
ness men and others have only been
awaiting an opportunity to deposit
their money.
Soldiers Stand at Doors
AS long as the present ratio of de-
posits and Withdrawals continues the
banks will not avail themselves of their
further resources at tie mint.
A soldier is stationed at the entrance
to each bank, but this is merely to pre-
vent the entrance of those who have
no business within or would enter
merely through curiosity.
Signs are displayed at the various
banks that checks are received only for
collection, but this refers merely to
checks on interior banks whose definite
standing has not yet been made known.
Berkeley Banks Open
The banks of Berkeley opened their
doors today for the first time. They
were only opened for accommodation,
honoring no checks except those on
their own banks. These are limited to
$sa Until financial conditions are
settled no general banking business will
be done. The banks are merely acting
as a relief committee on their own ac-
count, disregarding the proclamation
of the governor making each day a
legal holiday.
Both the Berkeley National and the
First National banks have received a
large sum of money from the mint in
San Francisco. Both institutions were
made United States repositories.

KNFLL OF DEATH FOR TWO RAPlSTS.
One Cremated by Mob and Another Sea-
fenced 20 Die hv Court ia Louisiana.

One Cremated by Mob and Another Sea-
fenced 90 Die by Court in louisiana.
A mob Of 500 men shot to death
Witt Page, a negro, aged 80 years,
and afterwards burned the body near
the town of Bienville, in Bisnville
parish, Louisiana, Saturday afternoon.
The negro was captured during Fri
day night, suspected of being the one
who attempted criminal assault on
Sarah Cant, the 11-year-old school
girl, Friday afternoon.
Page was identified by the girl, and
when a deputy sheriff started to Jail
with him, a mob oyerpowered the Off
Ger and took the negro. He was taken
to the scene of his crime, where h8
made full confession. The mob then
stood him up against a tree and shot
him to death, Kidding his body with
bullets. More than 500 shots were
fred. After the shooting, fire was
kindled around the body of the negro,
and the mob remained until it had
been cremated.
A military company ordered by Gov
ernor Blanchard from Homer, La,
reached the scene of the lynching.
When they arrived the mob had dis
persed, and quiet was restored.
Charles Coleman, the negro charged
with having assaulted and murdered
Miss Margaret Lear, was convicted in
court at Shreveport Saturday, after a
trial lasting three hours. Governor
Blanchard, who attended the trial,
signed the death sentence. Thursday
between the hours of 9 a. m. and 2
p. m. was fixed as the time Of execu-

sive, and verdict was returned three
minutes after the case was given to
the jury, and Judge T. J. Bell, who
presided, Immediately passed the
death sentence on the negro.
Four military companies were on
guard about the court house during
the trial, and every person who at
tended was searched as he approach
ed the building. There was no dem
onstration, and, while feeling is still
intense, # Is believed the law will
be allowed to take it's course.
The military will remain until af-
ter the execution.

MOB AFTER VANDERBILT.
Ran Over Boy While Speeding AutO in
Italian Town and Is Attacked
by Dagoes.

A dispatch from Florence, Italy,
says: w. K. Vanderbilt is detained 1t
Point Edera, on the road to Pisa,
having had an automobile accident
in the street by which a boy was
injured. The boy was not seriously
hurt. The incident involved the de-
tention both of Mr.. and Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., and their chauffeur,
and turns out to have been much more
serious than at first reported.
MI. Vanderbilt and his chauffeur
were mobbed, and the former drew
a revolver and both Mr. Vanderbilt
and the chauffeur were arrested and
taken to the police station. Mrs. Van
derbilt was escorted TO a hotel
In the midst of the excitement it
was reported that the child was dead
and the townspeople became so en-
ragged that they attacked the chauf-
feur.
In fact, matters reached very crit
ical stage, and Mr.. Vanderbilt, be-
lieving that the lives of the party
were in danger, drew a revolver.
Before he could use the weapon,
however, several men jumped into
the automobile, disarmed Mr.. Wander
Dilt and kicked and cuffed him.
Eventually an Officer of gendarmes
with reinforcements arrived on the
scene and after the townspeople hal
somewhat Gained down, succeeded In
rescuing the autoists, who we're taken
to the police station, followed by q
crowd of shouting people.
The leaders protested vigorously
against the alleged carelessness OF
the automobiles, and said that II
was time to put stop to such Incl.
dents, involving the loss of life, which
were constantly increasing in mum
bers.

A GREAT COUP
BY DEMOCRATS
Secure Control Of Hepburn Rate
Bill in The Senate.
TILLMAN TO BE LEADER
Work Was Done by Democratic Votes
at Meeting Of Interstate Com
msrce Committee.

A Washington special says: BY TAX
ing advantage just at the right time
of the opportunity presented to them
Friday, the democrats Of the senate
interstate commerce committee not
only succeeded in forcing favorable
report upon the Hepburn bill just as
it came from the house, but succeed
ed in getting possession of the bill,
which has been much touted as the
administration measure.
The net result CT the days action,
studied from a strategical standpoint,
is that all the credit for taking this
advance toward securing adequate
legislation must go to the democrats.
thus, in the great fight to come over
the rate question in the senate, the
democrats have all the advantage Of
position.
The bill will be- in the hands Of
Senator Tillman, senior democrat upon
the committee, and under his leader
ship the democrats will see to 1t thai
nothing is permitted to stand In the
way Of the enactment Of an adequate
rate law.
After the committee had adjourned
Senator Tlllman held levee in his
committee room. There were present
several democratic senators to con-
graduate him upon the practical VIC
tory secured by the party in getting
control Of the rate bill, and there
were also present several newspaper
men,
When reference was made to pos
sible conferences between him and
the president of the United States
upon whom he loses no opportunity
to empty the Walls of his wrath, Seu-
ator Tillman said:
well, it is a rather unexpected
and ridiculous situation, but If any
one has IN idea that l am going to
make a farce of 1t, with myself as
the clown, they are badly mistaken.
Those who imagine am not going to
fight for an effective railroad bill are
way off their base. I do not see why
my selection as the member to have
charge Of the measure should go to-
wards allaying the feeling throughout
the country in regard to railroad mat
ter. I am certainly not going to lend
myself to any scheme Of sidetraclIing
or undermining the efforts to get cor
receive legislation.
"The senate should be relieved Of
white house dictation, and we should
be at liberty to do our duty in ac-
cordance with our oaths Of Office, and
our duty to our states and constit-
uents under the constitution. In all
seriousness, / am not going to put
myself in any position or allow any
thing to happen to sidetrack the ef-
fort to get good law. My frankness
and reputation, think, will preclude
the possibility Of suspicion that am
in this bill as joker.
"This is a democratic proposition,
and the president lent his great In
fuence to 1t. hope that he win
continue to do so. The democrats in
the house supported the bill unani-
mously, and believe the democrats
in the senate will do likewise. l
hope there will be enough patriots OH
the republican side to help pass 1t, )"

HOLIDAY VOTED DOWN.
House Refused to Honor Memory Of
George Washington and Spent
Day ID Random Talk.

The house OF representatives re-
fused to adjourn In celebration OF
Washington's birthday and Its mem
bers participated in a general field
day OF debate on the army appropri-
atior bill.
The speeches took a wide range.
First, the system OF promoting and
retiring army officers was attacked
by Mr.. Prince Of Illinois, who ELECTED
many lnterjected comments from
members in disnpproval of the meth
DDS for which he said the president
and senate were responsible, and
which, he pointed out, has resulted
in a retired list, costing yearly S2,700.-
900. consisting of officers who, he said,
were holding the flag with one hand
while the other was In the treasury
for money that had never been earned.
An exhaustive discussion of ship
subsidy was made by Mr.. Gilbert Of
Kentucky, who declared the American
merchant marine Is now the finest OF
any nation, and included the 1876 Nor
gan ships under the British and Ger
man flags In case Of war, he said,
their only protection would be the
United States, wherein belonged their
owners and the capital invested.
Mr.. Clark Of Florida made a
speech against the house organization
and was replied to by MI. Grosve-
nor of Ohio. Mr. Clark dwelt at lengtA
on the merits Of his bill, which pro
nlbits internal revenue officers from
receiving special taxes and granting
liquor licenses IN prohibition or To-
cpl option sections.
Illustrating the necessity OF the
measure, he said that in prohibition
Maine in 1904, $40 federal liquor II
censos were issued, in 1908, 1924
were issued In Kansas, also proht-
hition state, and that in Connecticut,
not prohibition, In 1908, $3.50 federal
licenses were issued, while the state
licenses numbered 2,191.
Mr.. Clark's criticism Of the rules
was the subject of reply by Grosvenor,
who cited tbs record to show that
there had been moro debate so far this
session of congress than ever before,
and contrasted 1t with a session OF
congress controlled by the democrats,
when, he pointed out, bill repeal
ing the resumption act and making
paper money equal to gold; a bill for
the free coinage Of silver and an ap-
preparation act carrying 100000
were all passed without single word
of debate.
Mr.. Clark interrupted to state that
ten days Of debate at the present ses-
sion was on bill unanimously re-
ported and favored by both political
parties, and OF which no debate was
necessary.
90, yes" replied Mr. Grosvenor,
"melubers thought debate very nee
essary for their constituents. l made
one speech myself, but l don't think
it did a particle of good. Uaughter)
81 am exceedingly sorry that it did
rot avail In the gentleman's case"
replied Mr.. Clark, amid applause,
The day concluded with lively dis
cugsion Of the Payne customs house
bill.
