FIREMAN'S FUND.
LOSES RECORDS

The haste of the Fireman's Fund
Insurance Company officials to dis
cover the condition of the contents
OF their vault resulted in the de-
struction by fire today of valuable
records which otherwise would have
been preserved to them. The vault
at 4Ol California street, where the
company's officers were located before
the fire, was opened today while still
hot.
The instant that the contents were
exposed a draft of cold air swirled in,
igniting the crisp, almost red hot, con
tents OF the safe, so that they burned
completely before any measures to
preserve them could be taken
The affair is expected to serve as a
warning to all the owners of vaults
containing valuable papers, it being
the opinion of experts that it will be
unsafe to attempt this operation until
the vaults are thoroughly cooled,
which may not be for a fortnight.

WIFE OF JUDGE SHAW
HAS NOT BEEN FOUND

LOS ANGELES, April 23.-Mrs.
Lucien Shaw, wife Of Judge Shaw of
the State Supreme Court, has disap-
peared in the war of the elements that
ragged last week in San Francisco.
At daylight Thursday morning the
Shaw apartments on Post street, San
Francisco, were burned. Mrs Shaw
fled with the refugees to the hills.
Judge Lucien Shaw went north on a
special train Wednesday morning that
cleared from here for the Oakland
mole. Thursday morning at daybreak
he reached his apartments on Post
street Flames were burning fiercely.
A friend told him that his wife had
fed just a few minutes before. She
carried only few articles in a hand

For two days and nights Judge
Shaw wandered over hills and through
the parks about San Francisco seeking
among the 100000 refugees for his
wife,
During that heart-breaking quest.
according to his own words, he had
mo sleep, little food and less water
At noon Saturday he gave up the
search and hurried back to Los An
geles, hoping to find that she had ar
rived before him.

STRAIN CAUSES WOMAN
TO LOSE HER REASON

OGDEN, Utah, April 23.-Six hum
dred and forty-four refugees reached
Ogden at noon and they are now be-
ing fed by the local relief committee.
The mental strain of the fleeing peo-
pie is best illustrated in the miSfor-
tune of Mrs. Ida Reed. She left Oak
land apparently sound in mind, but
when the tension was relieved by a
realization that she was safely To-
Gated on the refugee train bound east,
her mind gave way and she is now
detained here in the City Jail. Her
destination was Waverly, Iowa. Her
ten-year-old son is being cared for dur
ing his mothers arrangement by the
ladies of the relief committee.
The flight of the refugees can only
be likened to that of a retreating
army The people arriving today
apparently were driven from their
homes without time to even properly
clothe themselves. Some are hatless
and coatless and others are garbed in
misfits donated by the relief commit
tees between Oakland and Ogden They
all have the same story to tell of
horror. Nearly all the refugees on
this train are bound for Chicago.

COLLEGE DOORS
CLOSE FOR YEAR

The far-reaching effects of the
earthquake is seen in the action of
the Academic Council of the Univer-
sity of California in closing the doors
of the State institution of learning for
the academic year. This action was
taken yesterday at Berkeley.
Every able-bodied male student is
placed under military rule and is for
hidden to leave the grounds except by
permission of the proper dean. Mem
bers of the cadet corps must, in addi-
ton, have the permission of the COM
mandant.
The young women of the university
may go to their homes upon approval
of Miss Sprague. the women's ad-
visor.
The regulations requiring all stu
dents to take final examinations are
suspended for the current academic
year.

CHINESE QUARTER WILL
BE NEAR FORT MASON

A new Chinese district to replace
that destroyed by fire will be estab-
lished in this city Plans for it are
already being made. A permanent
camp for all the Chinese remaining
In San Francisco is to be built in the
block bounded by Octavia and Frank
lin, Chestnut and Fort Mason streets.
Tents for the accommodation of ten
thousand people have been secured
and United States engineers are now
laying out the lines of the camp. The
work is being carried on under the
direction of DR.. T. Filben, chairman
of the Chinese relief committee. The
plan for the establishment of the
Chinese camp has the approval of the
Chinese Six Companies.
The Chinese will be collected from
every section of the city and placed
within the camp boundaries within
one week, it is expected. Eight thous-
and Chinese remain within the boun-
daries of San Francisco and the refu-
gees in Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley
and other surrounding cities and
towns will be urged to return to the
new city and take up their abode in
the new camp.
1t is planned now to carry to COM
pletion the establishment of an Ori-
entail city in this country. 1t is not
probable that the Chinese will be al
lowed to live again in the district
formerly occupied by them and which
was one of the picturesque spots of
the city, and a favorite visiting place
for Eastern tourists and others.

LOS ANGELES CARING
FOR ARMY OF REFUGEES

LOS ANGELES, April pa great
camp, built of tents, is being rapidly
erected at Agricultural Park by the
local relief committee for the accom-
modation of the hosts of San Fran
cisco refugees who are arriving by the
hundreds and which number is ex-
pected to reach in the neighborhood
of $4,000 within ten days. Probably
5000 have already arrived in Los An
geles. Not all of them nor, in fact,
any large portion of them are without
means. Two thousand came in yes
terday and hundreds more are arriv-
ing today.
On one Southern Pacific train that
came in last night there was a total
of 800 passengers, and it is stated that
there was scarcely fare paid on the
train.
Eleven student refugees from Stan
ford University have reached this city
ON the coast line train that left San
Jose after the earthquake. They were
the first to leave the scene of the dis
aster, bringing with them the story of

problem confronting the Mayor
and the General Committee is whether
further efforts should be made to in
duce the people camped in the hills,
parks and squares to leave the city.
1t is known that there will be work
for all men here, therefore the policy
of transporting people to surrounding
towns is questioned. The Mayor gives
assurance that all men who desire to
return and accept employment can
have free transportation. Of course,
everything is free going out. The au-
thorities suggest that the women and
children should go to points where
comfort prevails and the men stay in
San Francisco ready to accept work.
The impressment order has been
Cancelled. The Mayor wants every
body to know that work will be paid
for. The Mayor also makes it plain
that all the tents of the country are
coming this way. General Funston
has ordered that all tented camps
should be conducted according to
army regulations as to space, trenches
and general sanitation. In this eli
mate life in a tented city is not at
tended with discomfort or danger of
pestilence if ordinary precautions are
observed. Many leading men who are
looking over the situation advise
against further exodus of the popula-
tion.

THOSE LIBRARY FUNDS.
Mr.. BaIch Explains That the Change
Will be Slight and the Mistake Un-

intentional.
p s. Balch, treasurer of the library
board, explains that he was under the
impression that the library funds were
deposited in conformance with the city
ordinance until he saw the newspaper
reference to Mayor Ingledue's proposed
action. 1t seems that the city funds
are deposited equally in each of the
three banks, the First National, the
City National and the Marshalltown
State. Every two years the office of
city treasurer is passed around from
one bank to another, but the deposits
remain equally divided. When Mr.
Urine was treasurer the library funds
We're counted in and made part of the
third deposited in the Marshalltown
State Bank, but subsequent treasurers
have not understood that these library
funds should be considered as city
funds and have given the Marshalltown
State Bank a third besides the library
funds. Library money however, has
always been deposited in the name of
the city treasurer, and Mr.. P. S. Balch,
as treasurer of the library board, has
done the bookkeeping for these monies
by consent of the city treasurers. All
the change there will be in the mayors
discovery will be to reapportion the de-
posts among the three banks.

SYSTEM OF REGISTRATION.
Committeeman Devine, Of Second, Will
Make Sure That There is Fair Voting

UdNS SOIS udI buSIV 10 Qu VOSItty
at Caucus.
Committeeman w. S. Devine, of the
Second ward, has declared his inten-
tons Of making the Thursday night
republican caucus fair in every par
ticular. by placing in operation a sys-
tenn Of registration, so that no doubls
voting could possibly be carried on,
even tho there might be a disposition
to be unfair. Because of the varia-
ton from the regular manner of hold
ing the caucuses this year. and the fact
that the polls will be open for one
hour, it might be possible. If attempt
ed, to repeat votes unless some pre-
cautions We're taken. DR.. Devine has
decided on the registration system as
eminently fair and equitable to all
concerned. He will arrange to record
every man who votes and have ballots
for delegates deposited in one box, for
ward committeeman in another, and
for election judges in still third
box.
Committeeman F. G. Pierce, of the
First ward, likewise will follow
out the custom in that precinct by
polling the votes. One judge will take
the names of all voters. as they regis
ter their ballots, and the other judge
will receive the ballots.
c. H. E. Boardman, committeeman
| from the Fourth, when asked as to the
system in his precinct, said that the
| matter had not been suggested to him.
| but stated that some system, fair to all,
| would be carried out.
Committeeman F. Aubrey Smith, OF
the Third ward, is out of the city, and
Committeeman Trip, of the Fifth,
could not be seen. They will UNI
doubtedly take the necessary precau-
tions to see that the votes are cast
fairly.
In each of the five wards of the city
printed ballots have been prepared by
both Judge Caswell and F. e. Northup
These tickets contain the number OF
the ward, and the fact of whether the
delegates are for Caswell or North
up. AS yet Mr.. Stone the other can
didate, has not prepared any regular
tickets, and thinks it is doubtful If he
will. as he has not been in sympathy
with the manner of selecting the nom
inee.
