NEW YORK, April 2O.-George Bern

he'll be this and that if he'll kiss his
mother-in-law twice a day. The sad
story came out yesterday in Judge

was brought in from his abode, No, 60
Thorne street, Jersey City.
How is it," asked the judge, that
after living five. months at your mother
in-law's house you're so firmly resolved
to live elsewhere?"
"Why, that's easy, your honor"
George replied. "I amt got anything
on, the old lady. But say--on the level

to me the other morning, it'll be a
nice thing if I'd kiss her mother when

FRANK GARBUTT TELLS OF
AWFUL EXPERIENCE
Los Angeles Man Who Was Inspecting
Mines North of San Francisco
Rushes to Scene of
Disaster

Frank A. Garbutt, who arrived from
the scene of the disaster yesterday
morning, was the victim of circun-
stances, which prior to their unravel-
ing had anything but Il quieting effect
upon his frame of mind.
At the time of the calamity Mr.. Car
butt was inspecting properties near the
Tesla coal mines, about one hundred
miles south of San Francisco. Sim
ultaneously with the news of the north
ern horror came word that Los An
geles had also been destroyed. Mr..
Garbutt's wife was in San Francisco
and the remainder of his family in Los
Angeles.
Securing saddle horse Mr.. Garbutt
rode into Tesla, a distance of fifteen
miles. From that place he travelled by
team to Livermore, q distance of eign-
teen miles. An automobile was rushed
into service at Livermore and progress
made to Haywards. Along the route The
people appeared terror stricken, al
though no damage was noticeable be
yond few broken windows.
From Haywards the electric cars car
ried passengers as far as Avenue Twen-
ty-three, Oakland. A launch was
chartered at the Broadway wharf and

an expressman volunteered his services
for a nominal sum and carried the An
geleno to his wife, at the corner of
Pierce and Clay streets.
Loss of Life May Be 5000
Mr.. Garbutt, in regard to the calam-
ity, said; -
ture the desolation that exists. The
property loss cannot be exaggerated.
My opinion is that the loss of life will
amount to 1000, and not to exceed 5000.
1.-THE federal troops are acting SUI
perbly. They are preserving remark

is being pressed into service. The day
following the earthquake L saw two
women in an auto being driven through
the streets by Il chauffeur Two SOL

star on the chauffeur and ordered the
women to alight They then directed
the chauffeur to proceed according to
their directions, leaving the women in
amazement by the curb.

have been such a great calamity had
it not been for the fire. The strongly

VAMPIRES HANGED
Citizens and Soldiers Mete Out sum-
mary Justice to Monsters Who
Attempt Robbery of
the Dead

Oliver Posey, jr., son of the well
known mining operator, returned from
San Francisco yesterday afternoon and
related gruesome incidents of the scenes
occurring in the city of ruins.
From his accounts martial law, en-
forced without needless delay, is do
ing much to protect the sufferers from
harm at the hands of the lawless
throng.
'The scenes to be witnessed in San
Francisco are beyond description" said
Mr. Posey. Were it not for the fact
that the soldiers in charge of the city
do not hesitate in shooting down the
ghouls who ply their trade among the
unfortunate dead the lawless element
would predominate.
mot alone do the soldiers execute the
law. Wednesday afternoon, in front
of the Palace hotel, a crowd of workers
in the ruins discovered miscreant in
the act of robbing corpse of its
jewels. Without delay he was seized,
a rope procured, and he was immedi-
ately strung up to a beam which was
left standing in the ruined entrance of
the Palace hotel,

BEASTS TERRIFY STEERAGE
Maddened Tigers and Elephants Es=
cape in Liners Hold During Storm
and Create Pandemonium

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Trumpeting
elephants and roaring tigers mingling
their hideous noises with the screech-
ing of nearly thousand monkeys, sent
terror into the hearts of the steerage
passengers of the North German Lloyd
steamship Seidlitz. in port recently from
Bremen, when the ship was tossed
about in nor'wester last Sunday night.
The nine elephants that were includ-
ed in the animal cargo of the Seidlitz
broke their bonds and roamed about
the lower hold among the cages hold
ing the tigers, leopards and monkeys,
causing pandemonium among all of the
beasts, and giving the keepers hard
work for two hours, while the ship
rolled and pitched.
The steerage quarters were immedi-
ately above those of the animals, and
there was little sleep among the 1900
third-class passengers while the gale
lasted and the animals kept up their
din. The tigers made frantic efforts to
get out of their cages and the $50 ana
condas confined in boxes were nearly
liberated by an elephant, who was
caught just as he was prying open the
cover of the huge crate with his trunk
and tusks.
Besides the elephants. tigers and four
teen leopards. the Seidlitz brought near
ly 1000 monkeys 600-pound tapir, 5000
birds of all kinds, three llamas n
laughing hyena, $50 anacondas a py-
thof twenty-seven feet long and weigh
ing over 400 pounds, one pandar or bear
cat, rare animal from Tibet, and
many smaller animals fthe cat va
riety. The consignment comes to L.
Ruhe, an animal dealer in New York,
and is valued at $4,000.

CUPID ROUTs BACHELOR GIRLS
Miss Metz, Organizer of Club, Pronn-

ciety, Soon to Wed
Special to The Herald.


MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, April 20
Invitations were issued recently for the
marriage of Miss Belle Ada Metz, orig
inator and first president Of the Bach
elor Girls club, to DR.. Thomas C. Swift
at the Church of the Ascension on
April 80.
Miss Metz is the daughter of Henry
Metz, a retired New York florist, who
lives at Willow place, Chester hill.
Several years ago she and some friends
in society organized the Bachelor Girls
club, and like the Bachelors Club of
Thirteen, Don't Marry" was their
motto. Some of Mount Vernon's most
promising young men became honorary
members and were pledged to secrecy
as to the initiation antics.
Cupid went to work before long and
with his arrow pieced the heart of one
of the bachelor girls, soon another fell
a victim, and now it is learned that
Miss Metz is to marry. The club,
though, still lives.

Filtration, as it was understood not

come obsolete. Obscure corners of
conversatories, dimly-lit recesses of
picture galleries and billiard rooms and

couples, but en- masse. The absent

Summary Justice Dealt

mo sooner had he been hoisted up
and hitch taken in the rope than one
of his fellow criminals was captured.
Stopping only to secure few yards of
hemp, slip knot was quickly tied and
the wretch was soon adorning the hotel
entrance by the side of the other das-
tard.
"These were the only two instances
of law executed by civilians that l per-
sonally Witnessed but l heard of many
more that had been seen by others. The
soldiers do all they can, and while the
unspeakable crime of robbing the dead
is undoubtedly being practiced, it
would be many times as prevalent were
it not for constant vigilance on all sides
as well as the summary justice which
is dealt out to those who are appre-
hended."
End of One Fiend
Jack Spencer, who is well known
here as an employe of Pelton and
Lynch at Ascot park, also returned
home yesterday and had much to say
of the treatment of those caught in
the act of rifling the dead of their
jewels. "At the corner of Market and
Third streets Wednesday," said Mr..
Spencer, II saw a person who could
not be called a man attempting to cut
the fingers from the hand of a dead
woman, in order to secure the rings
which adorned the stiffened fingers.
Three soldiers witnessed the deed at
the same time, and ordered the man to
throw up his hands. Instead of obeying
the command he drew a revolver from
his pocket and began to fire at his pur-
suers. Without more ado the trio of
Uncle Sans policemen, reinforced by
half dozen other uniformed patrol
men. raised their rifles to their shoul-
ders and fired. With the first shots the
fleeing human vampire was felled, and
when the soldiers went to the body to
dump it into an alley eleven bullets
We're found to have entered into it, and
almost any one of them would have
been enough"

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA

The second concert of the Los An
geles Choral society, under the baton
of julius Albert jain, was heard last
night at the Mason opera house. This
concert was a notable improvement
over the first in that the soloists were
all first class. The attendance was not
what was to be desired
The program was divided into two
Saarts, the first being Rossini's "Stabat
\ Mater" The tempos were taken too
IAfast and there was a lack of accent
all through while many marcato ef-
fects could have made the climaxes
more effective The orchestra sustained
the work all through and Arnold
Krauss, our well-beloved concert meis-
ter, did clean and ligitable work all
through.
Harry Barnhart surpassed himself in
"Pro Peccatis." His round and reso-
nant tones filled the theater and he
received much applause. Miss Maude
Reese Davies, soprano, also made a
strong impression in the "Inflammatus
ct Accensus.' 1t was to the efforts
of Sig. Janotta, who coached them
both, that the effect was so delightful.
Mrs. Norma Rockhold- Robbins
scored success in the different duets of
the evening Frank Colby played the
organ accompaniment. 1t is to be
hoped that our energetic citizens will
soon have an auditorium with great
organ to sustain chorus works as the
chorus flatted in the "Stabat Mater"
1.-THE Hymn of Praise" by Mendels-
sohn was not a favorable work for the
chorus to show it's power. 1t is the
least attractive of all of Mendelssohn S
compositions and the various repeats
made the work monotonous.. 1t should
have been cut down.
Tom Carl, tenor, also made "a good
impression. Mr.. Carl sings his upper
notes with open tones and loses his
..,trength for the climaXes.
Mrs. Catherine Collette, soprano, did
charming work all through. Her voice
is sweet and well balanced and she
was applauded enthusiastically. Above
all, Mrs. Collette was in harmony with
the spirit of the music as we'll as with
the audience.
The chorus work was a great i'm
provement on the last concert and
the wreath of flowers presented Mr..
jain was a good token of the esteem
and gratitude which the chorus owe
him for his self-sacrificing labors and
devotion to the cause of music.

Bill Lays Down Elaborate Set OF
Rules by Which Servants and
Maids Are to Be Governed
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
JACKSON, Miss, April 20-If bill
which has been introduced in the house
of the Mississippi legislature becomes
a law men will be debarred from part
ing their hair in the middle; no male
prior to his twenty-fourth year may
pay court to a girl and bald-headcd
widowers above forty and red-headed
widowers under that age will not be
permitted to pay attention to any girl
under eighteen.
Race suicide of the Rooseveltian
brand was the subject of the bill which
was presented by Representative Toll
bert The interest displayed by the
members after the title was read proved
so great that it was read in full, but
the hitch occurred when the question
arose as to what committee to assign
it to.
All Lovers Must Mean Business
Charles Doherty of Tunica county,
manager agent OF the racing string of
Edward Corrigan during that turfmah's
invasion of England, moved that the
measure be referred to the liquor trat-
fic committee. 1t was finally ordered
to the judiciary committee.
Should it become law wholesale
changes in tactics used by young and
old lovers are sure to occur. There will
be less courting and flirting and more
marriages and according to the au-
thor of the bill, there will result a
notable multiplication of the human
race.
Besides declaring no man will be per-
initted to part his hair in the middle,
the law requires that before he may
pay attentions to a girl he must first
gain consent of the parents. He will
be required to make affidavit that ms
intentions are serious and that there
will be no flirting. -s--'i-7' :
Bald-headed widowers over the age of
40 or red-headed widowers under 40
will be restricted to courtship among
girls in their home county past Is
years of age. Exception is made for
officers of the state guard or to the
state legislature, who are depended
upon to use their own conscience in love
affairs.
Glasses "for Style Barred
The measure also provides against
any young woman wearing glasses be-
cause it is stylish. She must also make
affidavit when desiring the courtship
of a widower that she is receiving at
tentions with the idea of forming
matrimonial alliance, and that she VIII
find more pleasure in frying batter
cakes and sewing on buttons than in
playing with poodles and pet cats.
Provision is made for any couple re-
garded as members of the old maid
old bachelor class to have them pre-
scented with a baby carriage by the
county board of supervisors and that
the couple will be exempt from all tax.
