lieves that if a good collection of the

BIG CITY OF TENTS
ERECTED FOR
REFUGEES
Hundreds Being Cared for at
Los Angeles By sympathe-
tic People.

Associated Press to The Evening Times
Los Angeles, Cal, April ga camp
of tents is being rapidly erected at
Agricultural park by the relief COM
mittee for the accommodation of San
Francisco refugees who are arriving
by the hundreds and which number
is expected to reach in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 within ten days. Prob
ably 5000 have already arrived here
Not all of them, nor in fact any large
proportion Of them are without means.
On one Union Pacific train there was
a total of 500 passengers, and it was
stated that there was scarcely a fare
paid on the train. Many of them
were coming to homes of relatives and
friends in this city, but were temper
arily without funds and compelled to
accept free transportation.
Plans are being perfected for the
housing, clothing and feeding of those
who arrive here, and large sums of
money and trainloads of provisions
are still being sent at intervals for
the relief OF the sufferers in San
Francisco. The city has subscribed
about 100000 cash and provisions for
use in the north and the sum will be
greatly augmented by the local relief
fund.

shipmaster who takes that fiat is

the lakes after that fiat is issued does
so at the risk of losing every penny
of insurance on 1t If he meets with
marine disaster. That is one of the
cast-irOn rules of the insurance COM
panies. and its immediate effect is to
lay up practically every vessel of any
size in those waters. This puts hun
dreds of men employed on these craft
out of work and means hustling for
some new job that will keep them go
ing through the winter. What queer
trades they follow was made clear to
man not long since. who discovered
the captain of an excursion steamer
on the lakes acting as floorwalker in
one of New Yorks biggest depart
ment stores.
In addition to throwing all these
men out of work, the close of naviga-
ton means the abandonment of all the
lighthouses for the winter and the
shutting up of all the life-saving sta
tions on the American side of the
lakes. Just as soon as the two gov
ernments says the lakes are closed
officially the lighthouse tenders make
a complete tour Of their respective
shores, and not only take up every
buoy of every description. but see to
it that all the lighthouses are prop
erly shut up to Withstand the winter
storms. This means the throwing out
of employment of another considerable
body of men, and, so far as the keep
ers are concerned. it works a pa)ticu-
lar hardship, for they are used to liv-
ing in houses supplied by the govern
ment.
The men who work as tenders on
the Canadian canals have a little bet
ter prospect in the winter than any
other class of lake workers, for there
always is some repairing to be done
on the canals. and it is the custom
to give the lock tenders the first
chance at this labor. The poverty of
Canada is in no way more strikingly
expressed than it is along these same
Great Lakes. The Dominion govern
ment does not support a single life
saving station along those waters, and
the general condition of the light
houses is strikingly shabby when COM
pared to the spick-and-span appear
ance OF the American beacons.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
San Francisco, April 25.-The con-
dition of the 5000 persons camped in
Jefferson Square park is something
terrible. Not more than five per cent
have even an army tent and the make
shifts are constructed of carpets, bed
sheets and every imaginable sub
stance. They are totally inadequate
to keep out the heavy rain which is
falling today.
The 400 soldiers of the Fifth and
Sixth California national guard are
requisitionng every house in the
neighborhood for shelter but in the
meantime the homeless are in Il mis-
cradle plight.
Glenn A. Durston of the Spanish
war veterans relief committee has i'm,
mediate charge of relief work. He
made this statement to an Associated
Press representative:
I'VE are impressing every wagon
we can lay our hands on. We have
about ten wagons now in which we
are hauling all who will go to the
Ferry station and sending them out of
town. We have sent to the Preside
for tents and by contscating all va
cant houses we can find we hope to
have these unfortunates housed with
some degree of comfort before night"
The spirit and courage shown by
the sufferers in the face of their mis-
fortune is wonderful. An aged, Grip
pied woman lying on the dirt floor of
patchwork of bed sheets, carpets and
tin roofing made remark This is
sample: II am the widow of a
Union soldier. The sufferings endured
by my husband at Vicksburg were as
nothing compared to mine. Am very
comfortable, thank you"
The sanitary work is going forward
as rapidly as possible. Several toll
cts have been erected and all refuse
is being hauled away and burned
promptly. There is so far very little
sickness in camp and none of
serious nature. No infectious dis
ease has made its appearance.
The ST. Paul Lutheran church, To-
Gated near Jefferson Square park, is
being utilized as an emergency hos
pital. In the main auditorium about
40 patients are lying on mattresses
which have been spread on the floor.
The staff of this hospital is composed
chiefly of Los Angeles doctors and
nurses.
There are 10 physicians and 30
nurses employed. They work in day
and night shifts.
The head nurse was very enthu-
siastic in regard to the work being
done. She stated that they had every
necessary appliance and were able to
give prompt attention to sufferers.
The patients are mostly suffering
from exhaustion, nervous strain or
slight fractures. There is no infec-
tious Or serious illness in this hos
pital.
