The earthquake which caused such destruction in Central America, last Friday, extended as far north as Baltimore, says a dispatch from that city to the Tribune. At the Johns Hopkins University Observatory the film had just been taken off the selsmogranh, and it was found to indicate the heaviest earth disturbance recorded since the ma chine was put In operation. The first measurable shock reached Bal timore about 9:30 o'clock last Friday night, For about four minutes the dis turbance was slight, then it suddenly be came stronger. The heaviest shock was recorded about 9:40 o'clock. It soon sub sided to a lower degree of violence; but the disturbance was comparatively strong for an hour and a half. The whole dis turbance was apparent oyer a space of two hours and a half. The shocks were not strong enough to be. generally perceptible. TREAT OUTSIDE PATIENTS St. Vincent's Hospital ""Will 31lnl'ster to Needs 'of "Worthy Side. The Sisters of St. Vincent's Hospital have established an out-patient depart ment In connection, with -the hospital, which will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1 to 2 P. M. Here all patients that are able to come to tht hospital . arid receive treatment and not be confined will receive the attention of one of the regular members of the staff of the visiting: physicians and surgeons of the hospital free of charge. The- doctors and nurses of Portland have long felt the need -of such a move ment. There are, a vast number of people who, although amply able to provide themselves- with the ordinary necessities of life, and who are by no means people who should come under the cafe o? the county, I ' mmmm&H&twE&rr VMRasiEsimte&t fifflramr-r,: Mo4&ssMamMBm .fSK .. gjgssstf J9Sss3Si f rwThi list V ? fe&3$g2i ar ffrsgsBWrWBllWIlbi r iliirasPff amPeSH " v , """ '''jiasffM :" - ' .

In this way worthy people are often left to undergo much suffering that It Is possible for them to be spared. This free clinic movement is a natu ral accompaniment of the work being un dertaken by the Visiting Nurse Associa tion. Both have the game object in view, but the one reaches conditions tho other does not. There are many cases where the care and attention of a trained nurse will allay suffering and many times save life. There are many cases, however, which are not of euch a serious nature as to require this care, and where the at tention of a reliable practitioner might not only relieve suffering, but check in their beginning dlseaees that, If allowed to go unheeded, would result In an early death. Tho out-patient department has grown to be one of the prominent features of Eastern hospitals, and those who have seen its work speak highly in its praise. St. Vincent's Hospital Is situated on Twenty-fourth street, and Is in direct communication with all the car lines of the city. Its patients will receive the same treatment as other patients of the hospital, and the care of the same staff of doctors. A female nurso will be In at tendance when desired. Soldier Convicts Seelc Relcnse. LEAVENWORTH. Kan., April 26.

D. "Warner, rrho won the women's handicap. of habeas corpus. The grounds Wilson takes are that the court-martial that tried him was composed of both regular and volunteer officers.

KANSAS CITY, April 26. In the Circuit Court here today it was held that Dr. Leon Rosenwald, aged 23, was not entitled to the estate of his late partner, Dr. Charles W.

KifvggKBsHra STRIKE AT AN END San Francisco Street Rail way Tie-Up Broken. THE EMPLOYES ARE VICTORIOUS All Their Principal Demands Are Conceded General Manager Vin- ing: Tenders His Resignation It "Will. Be Accepted. After being' on a strike one week. San Francisco street railway employes win a victory, and will resume their places today. They secure a 10-hour day, aa advance In wages, 'and. In a. manner, recognition of their union. SAN FRANCISCO, April 28. The strike, on the street-railway system, of the United Railroads, which went Into effect last Saturday night, was officially declared off tonight. Victory rests with the employes, who are conceded all their principal de mands. The United Railroads have grant ed an advance In wages, a 10-hour day and in a measure recognized the carmen's union. On tho question of unionism the agree ment provides that the company will maintain such regulations as will enable full attention to all complains made di rectly by its employes; will cause prompt Investigation to bo made of such com plaints, and when it discovers the same to be well founded will rectify any wrong3 found to exist. .It will not, however, deal in matters Involving tho management of its own affairs with other than Its own employes or committees thereof. The company "recognizes the right of every person to belong or to refuse to belong to a labor union, and it will discharge no employe because of his connection with such a union. The company agrees to pay a flat rate of 25 cents an hour, or 23 cents an hour, together with a bonus for long service as the employe may elect. A rate of 30 cents per hour will be paid for overtime. All runs are to be finished within 14 hours from the time of commencement. The em ployes are to be allowed full liberty when off duty. It is stated on good authority that E. P. Vlning, general manager of the Market Street Railway Company, which controls all the lines recently purchased by the United Railways, save the Sutro, Sutter and San Mateo properties, has sent in his resignation. Its acceptance is said to be a foregone conclusion. Mr. Vlning came to this city at the re quest of the Huntington Interests to take charge 'of the Market-Street Railway system in 1SW, and has held his place since. He had been traffic manager of tho Union Pacific, with headquarters In Omaha, and subsequently served as com missioner of the Transcontinental Freight Association. A report is current that the same In terests that brought him to San Fran cisco will now put him In charge of the street railway properties in Los Angeles, which those Interests have recently ac quired.
