The Republican members OF the

''uniting" on the Statehood bill,
but the way the 'insurgent" talked,
unity seemed furtherst from their
thoughts. The G.. o. P. is divided

draw them together again.
The first edition of the New Do

Justin M. Knukle, who for several

assumes the management and Gil
bert Miller, who has also been con-
nected with the paper, will continue
as city editor.
The Constitution Of the United
States, expressly declares that no

CHURCH-G0ERS LISTEN
TO REFUGEES STORIES
KINDLY TREATMENT EXTENDED
TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN
Members Of First Methodist congreaa-
tion Told in Eloquent Words Of
Scenes in San Francisco During
Recent Catastrophe

The First Methodist church was
crowded to it's utmost seating capacity
yesterday morning, when the personal
experiences of those who had been
through the horrors of San Francisco
We're given in feeling words. Dr.
Thomas j. Mccoy, member of the
church, who was in San Francisco at
the time Of the disaster, spoke of what
he saw in the doomed city, and in the
eloquence of deep feeling, depicted
scenes there. He said in part:
'I wish 1 could find words to describe
the scenes I witnessed in San Fran
cisco. No expression of mine can de-
pict them.
when was awakened at the Cecil
that morning had distinct impressions
suddenly flash through my mind. The
first was that it was a severe earth
quake. The second was that If l
should get under my bed l might get
caught and so on. When I jumped up
the walls were swaying and the plaster
ing falling all around me. 1 managed
TO get out before the walls collapsed.
'yrhey were awful sights. Million
aires walters, cooks, nurses, bell boys
and all were desperate to reach safety.
People ran wildly in all directions and
many ludicrous scenes were enacted.
II went to one of the parks and there
was a continuance of the horrors that
cannot be told. And yet with all the
suffering among all classes. especially
women and children, there was sense
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-23

of kindly and gentlemanly treatment
extended by everyone.
II saw all manner of heartrending
scenes at various places before 1 got
away, especially in the hospitals.
IT heard once that Los Angeles was
doomed to a worse fate than San Fran
cisco, but you may know that L was
rejoiced to learn that this was not true.
sympathy prevailed among all
classes, as much among the former rich
as the poor.
"In the afternoon went to the
hills and, oh! the horrible scenes.
People were crazed by separation from
loved ones and exposure. The great
est need in San Francisco today is
bread, blankets and clothing"
DIR. M. r. Casey, formerly Of Arkan-
sas. who was also in the doomed city,
at the Grand hotel, in impressive words
depicted scenes he witnessed. The
speaker brought forth the idea that
even the victims realize the American
feeling for the helpless and the brother
hood of man. He also gave the in
stance of man who was Gagged in
among the debris and who, when res
cuers came told them to go to others
in more danger. Often these were over
looked in the hurry and perished, but
the self sacrifice idea was made among
all classes and nationalities.
DR.. Mcintyre spoke of Los Angeles
and her escape from all catastrophes
and especially earthquakes.

EXCITING DRAMA
ST|RS BURBANK
"BARBARA FRlETCHIE" Is FULL
OF THRILLS
William Desmond and Blanche Hall
Trauically Expire to the Entire
Satisfaction of the
Audience
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Clyde Fitch's thrilling, stirring, ex-
citing military romance Barbara Freit-
chic" built upon the poem of that name,
was resuscitated again at the Burbank
theater yesterday. The piece supplies
enough melodramatic features for tine
satisfaction of all Burbank patrons, and
the Sunday audience enjoyed every
situation to the limit. They even saw
their favorites, William Desmond and
Blanche Hail. killed dead, both victims
of the civil war and C. too ardent affec-
ton.
The long buried trouble between the
north and the south still survives as q
theme for the shrewd dramatist, and 1t
would seem as if there is method in
their revival, for the audience responded
to every appeal 10 patriotism.
Miss Blanche Hall in the title role
was a pretty picture and played her
part with intensity and good effect.
Miss Hall, and in fact all the other
women of the cast, wore charming
gowns of the style of the civil war
period. Elsie Esmond and Robert Nor
ris returned to the Burbank last evening
after an absence of two years. Miss
Esmond did clever bit of work as Sue,
the girl friend of Barbara, and Robert
Morris made the best of the small part
of a deserter.
Harry Mestayer gave a most artistic
performance as the mad lover. Mr..
Mestayers facial expression is espec-
ially good and he never fails to come
up to the difficult parts of the charac-
ter. Henry Glazier and Henry Stock
bridge do good work as members of the
Confederate army. All the other men,
bers of the company are in the cast
and the play is well staged.

means in which 1.-The Fellowship" as a
body might be of service in this general
cause.
