A Lady's Experience
In San Francisco


Mrs. G. B. Newton, foster daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. E. Nordyke,
of this place, was in San Francisco at
the time Of the earthquake and in
common with tens of thousands OF
others had a most terrifying expert
ence. In a letter to Mr.. Nordyke
and family written at Stock kton, to
which city she managed to escape
with her children after a night of ter
ror, she tells OF her experience wheel
ing her baby through the ruined
streets, "dodging automobiles and
everything under the sun" and Of be-
ing helped over those awful cracks. y
She says that when they reached the
ferry building at the foot of Market
street, s'it was a bowling mob and
shaking as if it might fall into the
bay any second. " The train upon
which she finally succeeded in leaving
the stricken city collided with anoth-
er, adding hew terror to the hearts
of the fleeing people.

Mrs. j. H. Humberg
Will Visit Here

Mrs. John H. Humberg is expected
here in a few days from San Francis
co to be the guest of Mrs. G. B.
briggs. Mrs. Humberg will be re-
membered by many of the older resi-
dents here as Myra Sloggett, daugh-
ter of DR.. Sloggett, who practiced
medicine here for a year or two in
the eighties. He went from here to
Honolulu where he soon acquired a
large practice and became quite
prominent both in his profession and
in politics. He died there last year.
His daughters husband, Mr.. Hum
berg, is a member of one of the
wealthiest business firms in Hawaii
and is its San Francisco representa-
tive. Mrs. Humberg had a very
narrow escape in the great Califor-
MIA calamity and lost all of her valua-
bile personal effects, including jewels,
silverware and many priceless family
treasures brought by her parents
from England.

THE Puget Sound American says
~ that "a nice little joke has
been sprung on William Moran, the
wealthy shipbuilder, who has built a
summer home on Orcas island and
with his brother Robert is gradually
getting hold of large domain, and
before the fine point Of it is worn off
it may cost him several thousand dol
lars. !" The American then proceeds
to say that Contemplating islanders
have filed mineral locations covering
large part Of Mr.. Moran's '9home-
stead at Cascade lake and that aMr.
Moran is reported to be very wrathy
over the advantage the invaders have
taken, but be is helpless, because the
law gives priority to claimants fling
on land for mineral purposes where
the homesteader has not occupied his
land fourteen months. This Mr.. Mo-
ran has not done. although he lacks
but 8 few months. His only alterna-
tive, therefore, IS to buy the claims
| az the islanders or vacate. His
position is not an enviable one. how
ever. as the holders Of the claims
have it in their power to charge fancy
prices. :
The American knowledge Of the
land and mineral laws may be pro
found, but such = conclusion IS not
warranted By the above statements.

Moran win suffer himself to be held

probably hurled himself upon the reef
when the tide was falling, while in
pursuit of school Of fish, upon which
the species lives. At low tide the en-
tire bulk of the creature was visible
above water. It was discovered dur
ing the forenoon Sunday by Bruce
Willis, who was taking DR.. McKinnis
and Will Sweeney over to Shaw is
land in his gasoline sloop "Ailsa."
When they returned these ''three
men in boat" told somewhat con-
fiicting stories about the monster Of
the deep and their more or less thrill

ner was not notified but about seven
ty-five other persons went out during
the afternoon to view the remains.
The carcass measured thirty-twO
feet in length and Mr.. Willis estimat-
ed that it would weigh from six to
seven tons. He cut up the best part
of the blubber Monday and tried it
out, securing about forty gallons Of
oil. The animal was poor, so Mr.
Willis said, or the oil yield would have
been considerably larger. He cut OF
the tail and gave it to the editor Of
the ISLANDER who wanted it for the
school museum. Prof. Joubert has it
anchored in salt water and when the
flesh is all eaten off by crabs and fish
it will be dried and placed in the

and school officers are desirous Of
making as extensive and valuable as
possible. The district is also indebt.

MAKES SOME COMPARISONS
Case Based on the Friars' Lands in
the Philippines,

After declaring that the French gov
eminent had absolutely disregarded
the property rights Of the church the
cardinal said: What should we think
If our own government had seized on
the friars' lands in the Philippines
without giving any compensation; or
after having pledged solemnly a COM
pcnsation should afterwards refuse to-
keep its part of the contractf Fur
thermore suppose the American gov
eminent had left TO the Filipinos mere
II the use, and not the ownership, of
their churches, and only under cond1-
lions laid down by itself, and even
that their very use was liable to be re-
yoked at any time?
I'm addition theprovision Of the new
law flaw of separation entirely ignore
tho constitution and laws of the church
"a situation that that has no parallel
In our American method CT keeping
church and state separate. Here there
is due recognition of the laws govern
ing every lawful society, while under
the recent French law provisions are
made obligatory for organizing Catho-
lie worship without any proper refer
ence to the duly authorized officers Of
the church-the bishops and priests.
This is the point to which the holy
father has objected most strenuOusly.
"The provision for associations of
worship associations cultuellesl opens
the way for schismatical organizations
which have, in fact in a few cases
been already attempted. 1t places the
church at the mercy Of the judgment
of the council of state, whose decision
in these matters is final Should the
church accept the present law she has
before her the very likely prospect of
gradual extinction by due process OF
law"

NOT FIGHTING SEPARATION
That Alone Would Have Been Accept
ed with Good Grace.

That Alone Would Have Been Accept
ed with Good Grace.
The cardinal declares that the French
government did not want simple sepa-
ration. "If the separation Of church
and state in France meant just what
it means In the United States" said
he, there would have been no such
hue and CRY raised against 1t. Very
likely to many 1t would have been by
no means undesirable. But the >situa
tons are not at all analogous. In proof
Of this we have only to point to the
fact that on several occasions some Of
the leading French Catholic deputies
hluntly put the question: why do you
not give us separation of church and
state such as exists in American
THE real nature Of the separation
has been well expressed In these words
Of q French priest: The COncor1at
might be compared to a conjugal union
in which the state represented the hus-
band and the church the wife. Today
they are separated; but the separation
has simply consisted in the husband
banishing the wife from her home,
keeping all the fortune for himself
and preventing her from acquiring any
other by managing himself the little
income which be allows her to gain,
and likewise in exercising a Jealous
watch over all her words and &C
tons"
After some words in defense Of the
pope's course in the matter the car
dinal closes as follows: 1.-THE view Of
the case as I have given is based on
the facts and the documents; we need
only leave it to an impartial and liber-
ty-loving people to decide which party
is responsible for the present misera-
bic conflict"
