Story of ma experiences.
' " "When the shock cam I was in the
- Grand hotel, sleeping," said Mr. Baker.
- I was awakened by a crashing of glaas.
, At the sams time I heard a sound that
-1 will, never forget as long as I live.
It was not a shriek, not a groan, but
. - seemed a combination of all the most
. terrible nolees - imaginable. My first
: thought was that the hotel was on lire,
that the crashing of ths windows In my
. room had been caused by a firs hose.
As I sprang from my bed the plastering
- began to fall from the walls and celling,
. covering the floor. Still thinking of
fire, I daahed to tho door and wrenched
It Open. . Just thenri felt the rocking
sensation and it flashed upon me that

opened tho door. Just aa I did so a girl
opened a door directly across the cor
ridor from mine. I will never forget

waa wrenched from the wall and the
water poured Into the room. . I dressed
as soon as the first shock waa over
and hurried .downstairs to the office
and out Into 'the street There I felt
the second shock, worse than tho first
I looked toward the St Francis and saw
It- Tocking.-rMen wer pouring Into ths
street from sll the hotels. Women were
screaming for- ther children, left be
hind "wheit'thS" mother "fled"' panlc
strlcksn. .''-..' . .......
"I hurried down Market street awjay
from the taller buildings.. and began to.
make my way to the ferry. I saw fires
break out In. a dosen places. I saw the
water - give out en the biggest fire I
have ever 'seen. Water waa ooslng
through the ground,- showing where the
malna had been' wrenched apart I did
a great deal of thinking In a few min
utes. , -1 thought the ..city , would b
doomed 'and hurried re-the ferry. On
the wsy I saw a. herd of steers running
bellowing- through Market and Howard
streets. Evidently they were being
driven through the town when the shock
came. I drew In close to a building ss
they ' passed. One man was caught
and badly hurt by the cattle. I met a.
friend who said some of them had been
burled beneath tona of debris. ,
. Boats Crowded to Balls.
J As soon as I reached the ferry" I
crossed to Oakland. There wer not SO
people on the first boat, which I took.
The next two boats, however, ware
crowded to th rails. I took the early
train, which' I had Intended to take. A
dosen times I thought I would get off
and go back to San Franolsoo, but
finally decided Portland waa the place
for me. 1 did not know but what the
earthquake had extended upthe coast
and feared for the safety of my famll
here. Other Portland men thought the
aameftrtng, and w. war glad to flad
that It was not oo, . -..
"I do not think the duration of the
two shocks was longsr ,than two min
utes. ..Tho oscillation, I should say, was
about two feet or a little less. I think
It will develop that the loss of life ha
been greatly exaggerated, but bad an
other severe shock followed closely
after the first two It would have been
great The property loss is simply ap
palling. There was some damage in the
business section of Oakland,- but that
city-escaped luckily. . There was little
damage at the Mole and llttl along the
line of the Southern Paelflo, with the
exception of the - destruction of the
water-tanks at San Pablo." .
J. A. Stermer. wlf and daughter of
CI nclnaUarrlve44n-Port land -from- the
stricken city on ths 3 o'clock train this!
morning and went to the Perkins hotel.
They left over the O. R. A N. this morn
ing for their bom. , .
Thought Bad of World Xa4 Com.
"Words cannot describe the disaster,"
said Mr. Stermer. "We were In the
Palac hotel when the shock came.
thought the world was coming to an
end. I did not realise what was hap
pening until I heard some on cry out
that it-was " an earthquake. I never
experienced one before and I hope
never will again. . Everyone in the hotel
was . terrorised. - The women were
frantic. We made our -escape1 to Oak
land with difficulty and left Immediately
for Portland. All I wanted to do waa
to get away from there aa quickly a
possible."
Ik'E. Juston. wife and duaghter, were
among the Portland people who escaped
from Ban Francisco wtth their lives and
their possessions. Some strange for
tune seemed to fight on the side of the
Juatona, for their room lV the Lick
house was the only one nor seriously
Injured by the shocks. They managed
to get their trunks from the hotel and
get them checked at the ferry before
the rush and DanlO commenced, and
after a day. and night of horror they
escaped .from the city In safety, while
tens of thousands of old Ban Francisco
residents lost their . wsy among the
ruins.; - -.
Oirt Throws From'Bed."
"We were awakened by the -first
shock." said Mr. Juston. "It waa no
wonder, we were awakened, as my
daughter was thrown from her bed and
had to cling tightly to the poet to
keep In. I have felt many an earth
quake shock In Ban Francisco, hut never
one like that first one Wednesday morn-
Ins. The earth rolled in great waves
and ths floor of the room carved up
and sank again like the storm wav on
the beach.
"We hastily put on our clothes, seised
our few effects that lay at hand and
left the -hotel among the first The
entire front of the building had fallen,
and;wa walked to the middle of the
street over the bricks that a few min
utes before had been the wall of the
third and' second-story rooms. High
power electric wires were falling all
about -us, and In the tanglegrest arcs
of red and green blase shot across our
path.
"I sent my wife and daughter to the
home of a friend and went bark at once
to the hotel and secured our trunks,
hired an expressman ' snd. worked my
way to the ferry landing and saw the
trunks checked before the mad rush be
gan. By tho time I returned to the
I.lck house, men were offering 1100
for a'wagon and wer getting no takers,
other men were running to ruined liv
ery stnblfs and drsgglng away buggies
und spring wagons to carry their ef
fects to places of safety, and tan of
thousands of people. wer trying to get
out of the ruins.
' ' Watched City Burn. "
"All that day and that' night we
watched th city burn. I saw thew
Chronicle building catch, fire and the"
Windows 100 feet from ihe ground
shovt out volume of. lam sad sparks
-.. .v . . r v.. i... . .
for IS feet beyond th sill; J saw mil
Uonaires leave their mansions at th
command of th soldiers and with what
money and lewela tbey could . carry
hurry from the march of the fir while
the artillery bombarded places worth
millions. I saw the fire leap streets
110 feet wide and entire, blocks of
frame houses go up Ilk packs of
matches, snd I saw men wish half a
dosen valises and six children running
through the ashes and falling embers
seeking a wife or mother. .
"It was horrible to see and more hor
rible to think of, but you can't forget
It. you can't Tho worst of It all was
that trip to the ferry at I o'clock In the
morning through the ruined bualneaa
district, through the ' Barbery Coast
where outlaws ran mad, and of It all
the most terrible was the Coming across
a bottomless rent la the smooth as
phalt pavement and seeing ahead an
entire block sunk out of sight, though
th red glar of the burning city mad
everything a light a day."
One .of the unique souvenirs Mr. Jus
tin secured jkwaa a copy of the paper
jointly issued by the Examiner. Call and

' Jewels for Chrasta of Bread. -"When
my daughter and I escaped
from Sun Franolsco Wednesday night"
said Mrs. S. Frauenthal of Seattle, "peo
ple were giving their Jewels for crusts
of bread to feed themselves and their
hungry children. Thousands of hungry
people were congregated In the parka,
on th streets and In publla places -begging
for something to eat Many bad
not tasted a mouthful of food since the
earthquake. , It was impossible to secure
food In any quantities at all and every
crust wss slmost priceless.... -
"Th sight in th parka where very-
body took refuge waa horrible. Hun
dreds of -thousands vt menr women- and
children have lived in the streets and
parks with no shelter but the skies and
none of the necessities of life. Hun
dreds of half-starved children wer cry
ing for bread and there wss none to
give them. - What food could be secured
wss given to the children first The ap
peals of the llttl sufferer and th In
ability of th older ones to do anything
for them drove some of th letter al
most frantic, "' ' .
"Husbands and wives, children and
relatives became separated In the excite
ment ' and no on knew whether the
others wer dead or alive. Many babies
were born In the parks and some on the
atreets, their mothers being without at
tention of any kind. The hospitals wer
alL filled - to overflowing and-th"ei-wa
absolutely no place to take the sick and
Injured. They simply found beds on the
ground and got what ear their fellow
sufferers could glvs them... which was
little.
."The skating rink was converted into
a hospital the first dsy of the trouble,
but It wss filled befor It had been
opened an hour. Every private home
and public building- that had -not been
swept by fire wss thrown wide open and
any one was welcome to enter and get
what accommodations wer there. When
the residence districts took Ore, though,
the people were driven from their houses
and foroed to take refuge In tho parka
and on the hills with the others driven
from the center of the elty. Those who
managed to escape until the latter part
of the disaster gave everything they had
to those who had lost their sH before
them. - The generosity of every on and
th perfect - feeling- of aympathy - aj4
desire to std wss remarkable. All seem
ed to feel that all wer of one common
family,' and hungry men who 'had suc
ceeded in getting pieces of hread denied
themselves and gar It to th women
and children.' . -1 .

"When I left Oakland the city waa
doomed and all hopes of saving It had
been given up. Everything seemed pow

Ths light from the .conflagration at

Portland people In San Francisco at
ths tint of th earthquake were more
worried from the reports that cam
from here than they were of th dan
gers there. Early Wednesday morning
the new waa circulated that Portland,
Seattle and Bait l.aks war destroyed.
Thst evening the word was passed that
Chicago had sunk into Lake Michigan.
This news wss not contradicted un
til Thursday. evening, when the Oakland
Tribune published a short dispatch stat
ing that Portland waa all right
This news waa orougnt here this

STRANGE SILENCE.
(Continued from Pag On.)
Orders wer given to combat the flames
as well as possible, but hope of check
ing them on the north of Market street
before tbey reached Van Ness avenue
was given up. - S
Preparation for a final stand against
the oncoming conflagration war made.
The water main were put In condition
and dynamite hurried s to that street
Like preparations were mad at Broad
way on th north. And th fiercest
battle that waa ever waged against fir
raged along Van Ness avenue. The
street is wide, the buildings slong It
substantial and not easily combustible.
Late Thursday afternoon Broadway
was crossed by - the llama. Their
steady advance could b discerned from
Oakland. Half way between Van Ness
avenue and th waterfront a neck of
fire stretched along farther and farther
north until it reached Broadway. For
a long time the outcom of th struggle
ther wss doubtrul. It was a full hour
from the arrival of the fire on Broad
war until a stream of red could be seen
on the other side, but Jt got a foothold
at last and nothing could' stop It
After crossing Broadway the flames
drov north rapidly. Th resident
north of Broadway' hurried themselves
with whatever goods they could carry
to the north beach. Until lata Thurs
day night thla crowd was kept there
without mesne of egress. When their
condition -wss known a steamer wss
hurried To the' sea wall near the north
beach and 2,000 wer carried away.

San Franclsoo, April II. A busy night
was spsnt by the Bremen fighting the
flames, which broke out "afresh yester
day afternoon fanned by a Stiff westerly
Dreese. This mornlna It wss officially
announced that the fire had been checked
In th western addition, although .not
entirely extlnulahd. Lack of material
will probably force th flames to die out
toward th western end, although they
are still burning fiercely south of Van
Ness avenue, weet to the bay.'
Along the waterfront the fury of th
flames haa somewhat abated, after hav
ing - laid waste - a atrip extending as
far aa Melgg s wharf, destroying-a large
number of factories and warehouses in
that portion of the city.
Laat night the fire completed Its work
of - dsstructlonf -Telegraph -and - Rus
sian bills, sweeping them clear of hu
man habitation. To save th water
front and shipping -th large. Hendry'
nrecnine worss were aynaiqlted.
The ferry, building was threatened
throughout th night and was several
tlmea on fire. After a" determined
fight th appraisers' building and th
station D postoffic were savsd. The
chances are now that th fir will b
stopped at Lombard street wharf.
The north beach section I swept clear
of building to th aeawalL From here
the tiamea raged along the waterfront
destroying docks and freight sheds
towsrd the ferry bulldlns. the terminal
point of the Southern Pacific and Santa
F railroads. It Is likely thst th ferry
building wilt be saved, ' as the ' ' wind
hows signs of -dying down. Several
warship and tugs are pouring water on
the flames at the ferry building.
This-morning It Is foggy and cold
There wss considerable suffering during
the - night from the chill winds that
blew- upon the unsheltered multitude
Not a person went hungry-last night
Much sickness 1 expected In the city
and the mansions of the wealthy" still
standing In ths west end have been
seised by the government for hospitals
and the Injured and sick ara.belng taken
to them, where they were attended by
physicians and volunteer nurses. -
Several thousand ' special policemen
armed with rifles are asststtna the
troops In guarding the ruined bulldlne-a
and numerous reports are received of
men ehot killed and wounded for re
fusing to obey orders of the soldiers.
At S o'clock this morning the wind
veered again toward the threatened
districts. . Dynamite waa rushed across
th bay. - Soldiers ar aiding th fire
men. On four side of the Holy Cross ceme
tery fire burned fiercely all -night lev
cling the many fine residences in that
section. ..There Is no probability that
ths fire will be checked there until It
has burned Itself out . Nowhere has
the check of flames been due to any
thing except natural obstacles.
. An extra aesslon of ths legislature
