TELLS HOW FRISCO
FIRE SINGED EAGLES WINGS
Also How They, with City, SCARED
High on Inspiration of Such
Aid rs Omaha Gave.

mot all OF the earthquake story will
have come out of San Franclco, even when
people have finished talking about t." said
John s.. Parry, the big Frisco Eagle, in
conversation with some friends In Omaha
"And let me say that your city here in the
midcontinent garden OF plenty was the
quickest to respond to our call for aid and
the most effectively organized in the short
est time. OF any that our stricken COM
munity dealt with. ! can speak knowingly
on thai subject. because as head of the
Board of Fire Commissioners and presiding
officer of the joint Board of Fire and Po-
lice Commissioners It Eel. to my lot to
carry something of the burden of the very
extensive relief work, Being also at the
head OF San Francisco Eagle aerie No. &.
the largest in the order, wit, over 5000
members, did not. lessen my work.
"It is my belief now. as IL was then,
that the quickness and warmth OF the
response of our countrymen, and the world,
for that matter, kept us from weakening
when we did not know whether we were
to live ten seconds or ten minutes"
Mr.. Parry lost everything almost In the
earthquake and subsequent fire. He had
a wholesale ice cream factory and five
retail cigar stores swept away, a well as
his home. The fire chief was among the
first killed, and then Parry and the other
board members had to go to bat fast"
as he puts 1t, and stick. without sleep or
rest, for many a weary hour.
Talking OF the destruction of thousands
Of dollars worth of Eagle property, Mr..
Parry said:
I'VE were wiped out in a fifty, except
as to money deposited, and that was not
available: but our Eagle brothers every
where, and the grand lodge, within an
hour almost. sprang to our aid with liberal
contributions Of funds. A small aerie in
Honolulu, with $500 in the treasury. tele-
graphed that $500 and told US to draw for
500 more IL needed. So the story goes for
the series throughout the order. So, in
commemoration of the most admirable
| spirit exhibited at that time, we are plan
ming TO erect in San Francisco a $500. on
building that will be devoted exclusively
for all time 70 Eagle use. 1t will be a
grand structure, and II will be a monu-
ment, which we expect 10 stand forth to
the world as a testimony largely OF the
historic time when everything was lost
but the undying spirit of brotherhood"

There was considerable excitement and inconvenience in East avenue Sat- urday night. Michael Mccormick fell ed large tree in front of his premises, and instead of the tree falling back into the Mccormick premises as plan ned. it fell across the street. bringing down the live electric wires with it. The street was blocked and there was danger from contact with the live wires.
 Joseph and John Pickering were driving along the avenue and consid- cred the swinging of a lantern as a joke; so they drove along and ran into the fallen tree. The horse was thrown and the young men were jostled from the wagon. but sscaped injury. The horse was held by the head to the 2rOun'l for some time, until the arrival of linemen. who removed the live wires which were close to the horse. It re- quired several hours work to open the avenue to traffic.
