New York, Nov 2S.-The Evening
World says today that the woman who
gave her name as Hannah Graham,
and who failed 10 appear in the police
court to press the charges which she
made against CarusO, the Italian tenor,
has been found She is Mrs. StanhOpe
the wife Of Adam Stanhope, baseball
player, the World says. 1t quotes Mrs.
Stanhope as saying that there is no
question but what the insult offered by
CarusO was an intentional one. She
said she did not know at the time who
the man was. She did not desire to
make any complaint. but finally did 50
because Policeman Cain said the man
had inSulted other women there that
day and he wanted to lock him up.
Mrs. Stanhope denied ever having
seen Cain before the time he asked her
TO make the complaint against the
singer. Finally after repeated requests
to do SO she consented to accompany
the officer and the prisoner to the po-
lice station. When she reached there a
man who was pointed out to her as
Police Captain Stephenson, who told
her, she declares. that she need not
give her real name. Il guess we have
this man dead to rights" she quotes
the captain as having said to her, land
you need not come to court
When asked why she did not write
a letter to Magistrate Baker during the
police court hearing, Mrs. StanhOpe re-
piled: II was afraid. After 1 told my
husband he acted like a mad man. He
wanted to go to the Hotel Savoy and
punch the tenor. Gus Meehan, his
friend, had hard time holding him in
check, but both Mr. and Mrs. Meehan
finally persuaded him to let the court
punish Caruso.
Mrs. StGnhOpe said she went to the
Central park zoo with the little son OF
Leonard Bronner. She had been en-

New York, Nov. 2S.-At the Metro
politan Opera house tonight, EnricO Ca

first public appearance since his recent
conviction in Il police court on the

Caruso sung RudOlfo to Madame Sem

The audience, which was 4 brilliant

COMMITTEE AT HEARIN G
Measure Provides Four-Inch Tire for
Vehicles Of Two Ton
Capacity.

Protests OF a vigorous character
against the enactment of a proposed
law requiring that all wagons of over
two tons capacity be equipped with
fOur-inch tires were presented at a pub
lie hearing yesterday afternoon before
the District Commissioners by com
mittee of business men. who declare
that the business interests of Washing
ton would suffer TO the extent of 5000
600 II the law was passed.
The committee was headed by O. II. r..
johnson. who inquired of the COmmis-
sloners as to whether the bill in ques-
ton had ever been referred for action
10 them by the House Committee on the
District. Receiving a negative answer
from Commissioner Macfarland, presi-
dent of the board, who explained that
the corporation counsel had put the
proposition into legal form at the re-
quest OF the chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee. Mr.. Johnson inquired
significantly as 10 the prOpriety of ig-
noring the wishes of local business men
when such important legislation was
proposed. Commissioner Macfarland
stated that the Commissioners could not
take action with reference 10 the par
tieular bill at that time. because it was
their invariahle rule TO wait until Con-
gress directly asked for a report.
In conclusion, Mr.. Johnson said that
he knew of no other city in the United
states where such a broad tire require
nent was enforced with the exception,
possibly, OF Denver.

SAN FRANCISCO WRECKED.
Life and Property Destroyed by an
Earthquake.

6dl blqudhc.
San Francisco, April 1s.-San
Francisco was practically wrecked
by an earthquake at 80 o'clock
this morning. The shock lasted
three minutes and thousands of
buildings were damaged and de-
stroyed.
The loss of life isreported great.
There is no water and fires are
breaking out all over the city. All
wires with the exception of one
are gone. The city hall costing
seven millions is in ruins. Modern
buildings suffered less than brick
and frame.
The terror and excitement is in
describable. Most people we're
asleep and rushed into the streets
undressed, The buildings swayed
and crashed burylng the occupants.
There was a panic in the down
town hotels. The Lick House is
badly damaged but no loss of life
there is reported.
As reports come in the magni
tude of the disaster grows. Fires
are raging in all directions and
people are moving out of the down
town section.
The loss of life may reach into
the hundreds, and millions of dol
lars worth of property is de-
stroyed.
The Palace Hotel and st. Fran
els Hotel stood the shock. The
people flocked to the telegraph of
fees to send messages to friends
and were frantic because there
were no wires. The greatest dam
age to buildings was south of
Market street, where mostly frame |
buildings and tenement houses
were located. There were fires in
every block in that district.
DISASTROUS FIRE.
San Francisco, April is, S.50.a.
N "A disastrous fire has broken
out on the south side of Market
street, and is now within one block
of the Palace Hotel.
The water mains have burst and
the FIRE department is practically
helpless. The utmost confusion
exists. All business is suspended.
At this moment there is only one
wire out of San Francisco, Pos
tai wire. The Postal building is
badly damaged. The operating
room is total wreck.
The power of every kind is gone,
and there are no lights, either gas
or electric. Neither the Palace
Hotel nor the st. Francis is gone,
that is, as far as the outside goes,
but the inside plastering, ETC., is
greatly damaged. Between the
Postal Office and the water front
there has been great damage by
fire, which is burning fiercely, and
there is little or no water. The

has been done over the whole town.
BUSINESS SECTION.
The business section of the city
from Market to Mission street and
from the bay back has been almost
completely wrecked. The Call
and Examiner buildings are de
stroyed. Many buildings along
Market and Mission streets, in
Guiding the department stores are
collapsing. Hundreds of people
in the cheap tenement districts are
reported killed.
Fires are raging and owing to
the scarcity of water are practical
ly beyond control. Business is
practically suspended. The offices
of the Postal Telegraph Company
in the Hobart building are wrecked,
as is the Associated Press Building
at 80 Montgomery street. The
residence portion is but slightly
damaged although nearly every
house has been more or less in
jured.
A clearinghouse on Seventh
street, between Howard and Mis-
sion, known as the Kingsley, en-.
tirely collapsed. 1t is on fire and
seventy-fv five to eighty people are
believed to be buried in the flaming
ruins. At Twenty. second and
Mission, the dry goods store of
Lipman is on fire, threatening the
destruction of the entire stock.
CREvICE IN STREET.
AT Eighteenth and Valencia
there is crevice in the street six
feet wide, and entire sidewalks are
torn up. The street car tracks are
badly twisted all through the
southern section of the city, and
traffic is at standstill.
At the Southern Pacific Hospital
water is being carried into the
building from outside sources for
the use of the patients. Many |
people suffering from injuries are
seen on the streets making their
way to the different hospitals.
1t is reported that one thousand
lives have been lost.
The loss of life seems to have
been confined to the poorer dis
tricts and manufacturing territory. |
For the benefit Of Eastern people
who have friends visiting in San
Francisco, it is safe to say that
they have not been injured. As
the hours go by the excitement
grows more intense.
Unless the flames can be checked
here, the Palace Hotel, one block
distant, will be endangered.
The water supply is entirely in
adequate and powder is being used
to check the flames. The rooms
in the Palace Hotel were vacated
early in the morning and guests
are now returning to gather their
effects.
Every few minutes explosions
are heard as buildings are blown
up 10 stop the progress of the
flames. The fres are spreading
