Friday with his proposition for the
purchase for a public park Of one en-
tire block of ground and parts Of two
others between the Ctpitol Building

has interviewed a number Of members
of the committee and finds them unan-
imously in favor Of making the Pur-
chase at this time.
Il have a man at work now" said
AIR. Rodenburg. making an estimate
from the assessed valuation and otl er
available information Of the probable
cost of the entire tract. Ny impress
sion is that IL can be bought for abou
100000. The improvements on II ar
of very small value now. but whe n
the new depot is completed tie prop
erty will very soon be covered with
hotels and similar establishments
which will make the price so high
that it will be difficult for us to get

Mrs. Curtis Tells of Swift
Sewing for Babes Born
Amid Ruins.

Maj. William T. Kent has received
several letters from his daughter. Mrs
Laurence A. Curtis. wife OF Captain
Curtis. of the Twenty-second Infantry.
which is now stationed at Fort Alca-
traz. Cal. Mrs. Curtis tells many inter
esting things concerning the conditions
in San Francisco and its vicinity. chief
OF wbic is The fact that up to Tuesday
April "a. there had been forty-nine
shocks.
Mrs Curtis and a small army of
women from Fort Alcatraz joined those
at Fort Mason the day after the earth
quake TO help make clothes for twenty
or thirty new babies which had been
born that day and the day before.
Parents OF infants had LOST absolutely
everything IN the earthquake and were
being taken care Of at Fort Mason
Everybody sewed fast and. with a num-
Der of contributions from Mrs Curtis
and other ladies who have young ,hil-
dren, The infants We're soon pro ided
with clothes.
In her description of the terrors sur
rounding the earthquake and conse-
quent fire, Mrs. Curtis stated that small
pox had broken Out in Golden Gate
Park. and that there was a report that
Chinese leper had been captured
Many little stories of human interest
are coming from the stricken city. Cap
tain Curtis was on mis- way back TO the
fort day or so after the earthquake
Vi hen a man came along in an auto
mobile. He picked up Captain Curtis,
and during the ride to the fort the man
told the captain that previous to the
calamity his fortune had been $4,000.
bat shat he was now compelled 20 make
a living by hiring out has automobile
Another striking illustration OF the
terrible DEPTHS to which the people Of
the stricken city have been reduced
was given in a little incident which
came TO Mrs Curtis attention. One Of
the officers OF her husbands regiment
met q woman richly gowned and wear
ing great deal of expensive jewelry-
The woman had no money. was without
food, and was endeavoring to raise s.
on a handsome watch
Another man. evidently wealthy. went
for a spin in his automobile and was
going through one OF the devastated dis
tricts on a sightseeing expedition on
his own account. His machine was
taken from him and he was promptly
put 10 work removing loose bricks from
the streets
Mrs Curtis further states that In
Union street and other sections Of San
Francisco car rails were thrown up two
feet in the air.

WOMEN WHOSE THOUGHTS
ARE OF FRISCO ORPHANS
Mrs. Logan and Others Ap-
peal for Little Victims
of Earthquake.

Mrs. John A. Logan has issued an
appeal TO all lovers of children that
they now come 10 the aid of the little
ones of San Francisco who have been
not only made homeless but motheriess
and fatherless through the great calam-
ity that has befallen that city
In reaching ont TO the hearts of those
whose love for children has asserted it
self IN so many ways under happy cir
cumstances Mrs. Logan endeavors TO
bring to the minds Of these people the
sorcowful outlook that stares these 1T
tie cnes in the face now that they have
been thrown on the guardianship of
whoever or whatever may chance TO
come their way.
Think OF these little ones being
awa:.eneG from their innocent slumbers
DY the hldeOuS sounds that rent the
air that awful morning." Mrs Logan s
appeal reads. Tsey are still unconscious
OF the meaning of the excitement that
return to their homes or why their
plteous cries fos father and mother are
still unanswered.
Put our own loved ones in such a
position and how our hearts would bleed.
Let your hearts be touched for the
little ones: deny yourselves something

they have hitherto worked for charity,

o. destitute children now crying for

SHERIFF LOOPS THE LOOP

MT. CARMEL. Pa, May 1.-THE state
constabulary, which engaged in a bat
tie with foreign mine workers yester-
day. were yet on guard this morning at
the Lehigh Company's Sayre colliery-
How long they will remain is not known
even TO Liuetenant Smith. commander Of
the troopers. The mine workers keep
away from the camp None of the vic
tins Of yesterdays shooting have died
as yet. but il is believed four cannot
recover from their wounds. The town
IS quiet now.
Early today Sheriff Joseph Sharpless
telephoned from Shamokin to the troop
ers' camp notifying Smith he should not
enter the town with his troopers, so as
10 avoid lnfaming the passions of the
ponulace, and, perhaps, causing another
conflict Smith wanted the sheriff TO
swear in the constabulary as deputies.
but the latter refused
Burgess at Work.
Burgess Mungo Penman and the rest
of the town authorities are imploring
the foreigners to keep quiet and remain
away from the camp of the troopers,
who. since last evening. have been sup
piled with several hundred rounds of
cartridges from their carbines.
United Mine Workers officials met
constabulary's shooting of what the
miners claim were innocent victims" p"
The miners threaten to prosecute Smith
and his men for murder in case any of
the people who were shot should die. II
is believed there will be no more trouble
here.
Forty troopers of Company B. of the
State constabuiary. arrived early this
morning and marched without interfer-
ence to the Sayre cOlliery. Every new
arrival in Mt. Carmel hastens to the
Sayre colliery. Sheriff Sharpless, of
Northumberland county, left the col
liery this morning.
Loops the Loop.
Late last night he told Lieutenant
Smith that it would be necessary for
the constabulary TO go down in the
town in the morning; that he would so

When he slipped out Of the stockade
this morning the sheriff made for the

a electric car for Ashland. in Schuyl-
Ky county. Then he iooped the loop
