"I was asleep in the house of my brother. Rabbi M. S. Levy at 1230 El lis street'' he said when the earthquake came. "The first thing I knew I was thrown out onto the floor by the viol ent tossing of the lied, and thoroughly awakened by the crash of the ehimny, which fell clear through the house, and the overturning of the piano in the room Wow me. I realized what had happen ed in a moment, and with the rest of those in the house ran into the street without waiting to dress. "The sight that met us was both weird and terrifying. Thousands of men women and children, filled the thoro- t ughfare. clothed onlv in their white ! night clothes. 1 "Some were kneeling and praying, I others were crying in terror, while ming : led with the prayer- and wailing of j the women, eould be heard the curses of the men. For an hour or more f re j mained in the street, and 'hen as the ! temblors had subsided somewhat, I j went back into the hou-e and dressed. "The fire had broke out along Market street near the Kmporiiiin soon niter (he quake, and before noon the fire depart ments of Oakland and Sicramento, had reached the city and were helping to sub due the Haines. For a time the efforts of the firemen looked to be successful, but about noon the water supply wa-to tally cut on", and then the authorities resorted (0 dynamite. Soldiers were at once stationed all over the city, ami no one was allowed to move about without a pass. The soldiers imprc-sed me in to service piling bricks, later I was re lieved from this duty and given work in the Red Cross hospital, where I stayed until I left the city. Water and food were very hard to obtain, and I suffered a gread deal from the lack of them.

In presenting a resolution to the Im Angeles ( hnuilx r of Commerce de nying welcome and shelter to the home less mid burned out fugitives from San Francisco, at a meeting held on Satur day evening, April 2Ut "Judge" Silent made an explanatory address (hat makes bulking resjtecdtble by comparison.

Tthe Southern Pacific wants to know." "Immediate action was a No uked by Mayor Schmitz. "Filled with grief at the sorrow, the clergyman met at the Church Federation with no thought except charity, and voted to throw open the door of their churches to all w ho come." A special meeting of the Chamlxr of Commerce was called for S:2i in the evening, ami me clergymen inviieu 10 attend. What took place is related by the Los Angeles Kxaininer. "Behind closed doors the committee met first. The whole situation was talk ed over seriously, and it was unanim ously decided that it would be unwise for the city to extend an invitation U refugees. "Judge Charles Silent whs directed to express the view of the committee to the press and clergymen. "The city is willing to double its fund, furnish camps for the sufferers. clothe, feed and nurse them, but nearer San Francisco." the judge said. "We have decided that it would be unwise to bring this undesirable clement here. We will oppoe their coming as far as we can. This is not becauc we do not want to aid the sufferers. We do, We N-lieve we can better aid them where they are. It is not necessary for them to jour ney nearly five hundred miles. If they are ill there is a country nearer that is better suited for them. Humanity does not require the conveying of hordes of unde-irable people to this fair city. It is the 'red light' element that I refer to It was the judgment of providence that the elements brought, on San Francisco.

"There will be many who will come without invitation. Tho-c we will be called upon to care for. They will re ceive the ltest of treatment. We hope that those will not be of the class we fear will come. The people of the city would rather raise twice, yes three times the amount to keep them where they are. In a little while the city will be able to iweivc them. For their own good they should be sheltered nearer home. "Already there are fakris in (he city representing they are refugees. I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with our police to prosecute these men. We don't want, and won't have the scum of San Francisco here. An invitation would bring them." -We know of-nothing in the annals of history more heartless, more infam ous in its calumnious suggestion, more hypocritical in its .pretense, more at rociously brutal in its spirit, and more libelous on humanity than this speech by "Judge" Charles Silent. F.ven the wretch Bulk could not contaminate a city polluted by the present of "Judge" Silent. No woman of the street could carry a heart so rotten, so dead to the cries of humanity as the one that beats in the breast of this man who coldly villified the inhabitants of a grV'at city as an excuse for refusing lfctm shelter in their extremity.

The committee on platform report ed that it had not had mflieienf time ta complete its work, but that it would probably be ready to report early in the, week. The matter of holding rati fication conventions was also consid ered, and Ihe general sense of the com mittee seemed to be that mass meet ings in (he va lion counties would be preferable to a state convention. No action was taken on the subject. Before adjournment the committee passed the following resolutions. "Resolved, that the thanks of the Re publican party of Oregon are due Hon. Frank C. Baker for the energetic find highly effective service rendered by J him chairman of tliei Republican State Central Committee during the past three years. "Resolved, further.
