voice, calling on the people to at once
repent as the city would before morn

old home. She declared that San Fran

wickedness. The young woman is ex-
tremely handsome and her strange
actions quickly attracted a crowd of
several hundred people. She was cap

TIDINGS FROM THEIR
LOVED ONES

The Owl, which left last evening for
Oakland, was crowded with anxious
residents of Los Angeles who have
friends or relatives in the destroyed
northern city.
Among those from Southern Califor-
MIA was w. w. Phelps Of Riverside,
grand master of the Odd Fellows Of
the state, who goes to San Francisco
to assume charge Of the relief work
among the Odd Fellows of that city
Mr.. Phelps issued an appeal to all
the lodges of the United States and
Canada asking for aid for the afflict-
ed of the north.
According to Mr.. Phelps there are
three prominent physicians Of River
side among the missing at San Fran
cisco, Drs. A. 8. Parker, G. Van
Zwalundberg and w. W. Roblee went
to San Francisco to attend the state
medical convention, and as nothing has
been heard from them it is feared that
they are among the dead or rlairned.
j. A. Blake of 1881 West Thirty-ffth
street was one of the Owl passengers.
His father-in-law was a guest at the
Winchester hotel, and as that house
was one Of those totally destroyed
grave fears were had by Mr.. Blake
and his family. A. c. Clason is the
name Of the missing man.
J. Smith Of the Scotch Tailors went
to make an attempt to locate his sis
ters, Mrs. Rosie Hyman and Mrs. Celia
Hyman.

from.
John Bancroft Of. Sherman left on
the Owl to find out If his sisters. Mrs.
Fry, who lived on Banner street, and
Mrs. Reid, whose home was on Brad
don street, escaped from the disaster.
In every car Of the long train which
the Owl carried last night were people
whose sad faces told of the loss Of
some loved one, Many went to in
vestigate the amount their property
had been damaged, but the greater
number went hoping against hope that
their loved ones at least had been
saved. ....

SET AMID FIRE AND WATER
In Burning Hospital, Where Surgeons
Stay at Post, Biddy Also
Gains Fame

Special to The Herald.
BIDDEFORD. Me-, April 19.-The hen
which withstood the flames. smoke and
water during the Trull hospital fire in
Biddeford and calmly sat on her nest
until the excitement of that eventful
day was over has been rewarded for
her faithfulness by Matching one chick,
In the same fire the surgeons finished
an operation in which life was al
stake while the building was burning
over them and firemen were working
to keep the flames back until they had
finished.
That the surgeons were not without
rivals in heroisn was discovered after
the fire was out and the cellar full OF
water. The firenen, wading in the
hospital basement, found a box float
ing upon the bounding MAN," and in
it Biddy and the thirteen eggs upon
which she had been placed the week
before.
She had remained as steadfastly at
her post as had the life-savers on the
floor above. No setting hen ever
showed greater determination to Per-
petuate her race than this Biddy when
the firemen tried to pull her off her
floating nest.
The eggs had been chilled in the al
most ice-cold water which had soaked
up through the straw nest, and there
was slight hope Of any Matching. But a
hen that would set through fire and
water the hospital folks declared
should not be martyr to the practi-
cability OF a cruel world, so the box
was put up high and filled with new
straw and Biddy was left to do what
she could with the wet eggs.
The hospital people speculated two
weeks ago on the outcome. IF they
hatch the chicks will have web feet, "
declared the chicken fancier who owned
the hen. He missed his guessh for the
one resulting chick is perfectly formed

PASADENA, April 19.--In view of the
impossibility of holding the National
Educational association convention ia
San Francisco in July, as was intended,
there seems to be quite q likelihood that
1t will come to Los Angeles instead.
Dean Arthur II. Chamberlain of
Throop institute, a state director of the
National Educational association, has
been in telegraphic communication
since yesterday with various members
of the executive committee and with
President Nathan G. Schaffer at Harris
burg, Pa, and states tonight that 1t is
very likely that Los Angeles will be
given the meeting.
All of the arrangements already made
for handling the enormous crowd OF
teachers have thus far been made with
the intention of bringing them to the
Pacific coast, and it seems that 1t will
be most convenient to substitute Los
Angeles. ....,a
If this be done, however, no special
entertainment will be offered the visit
ors, the money going to the San Fran
cisco relief fund instead. OF course
nothing definite can be yet announced.
but Dean Chamberlain thinks that by
tomorrow night an official statement
can be issued. If Los Angeles is not
chosen the convention may go to Port
land or Salt Lake City.
