8 TUB Monday, Junt It, 1906 FROM THE SATURDAY EVENING WORLD THE CAPITA! nMemacT EAN TELLS WITNESSES SWEAR TO Upton Will Enter Ring Britisher to Start Big Packing Plant Rivaling Chicago ARTHOUAKES OF MORE AT PERM rounding the pardon of Desire Hrothicr from New Westminster penitentiary. I.rothicr has friends and relations here who were the moving spirits in bringing about his lease nnd one of these has dropped muiio hints lis to the actions which resulted in a pardon being obtained. The story is that affidavits were secured from the women who testified against Iirothier on the charge of perjury for which he was sentenced to five years, in which they swore that they had perjured themselves in their evidence in this case, and in which they told the whole story of collusion to fix the charge against Hrothicr. Thci affidavits were obtained ill the I'nited States where the women nre now living. Due at least is said now to be living in Tacutna, Washington, and another was in Seattle sonic time ago.

In laying the matter before the department and pressing for Brothier's release, it was pointed out that he had served the full time of his Horribly Uncertain License Commissioners Have Saloon Men on Anxious Seat. Saloon men who are making arrangements to go into the hotel business, in obedience to the mandate of the licens ing board, but who will not have their new places of business ready within the prescribed time, are still in state of horrible uncertainty as to whether they are to be allowed to do business at the (dd stands after June 30. The thought of losing all that Dominion Day busine is slowly breaking many a heart, and the weary part of it all is that not even a whisper can they get from members of the board as to what action is to 'be taken when the board meets on Tuesday. Iu fact, it is not at all certain that the matter will be definitely settled at the regular meeting as the mass of business to he dispatched in connection with the consideration of all the renewals will take a great deal of time and a later meeting may be necessary. It is generally believed that the members of the board will hold a private meeting beforehand, if they have not already done so, at which matters will be pretty well cut and dried, preparatory to the public meeting on Tuesday.

Members of the board are discreetly silent on this point, but do not exactly deny the story. St. Petersburg, June 9 It is that the ministry has resigned. Cross deputies are severely censured, as well as the army utliciuls, nnd the patience of the people Is almost tit an end. Their hralth is endangered by the sanitary conditions in several of the camps I notably Jefferson square), nnd on all sides tales of graft and deliberate carelessness are rife.

No more rations nre given out, hut meals are served at restaiirauts put up for the purpose in the various parks. A Hed Cross ticket, or ten cents, gets meal lit these relief restaurants, but unless one is on tlie verge of starvation the meals would Imrdly he found tempting: in fact, many go without rather than cat what is given out by the restaurants. Tlie red tape surrounding the giving out of clothing is another grievance. There is enough food nnd clothing in San Francisco to supply everybody, if it were properly handled. So many are engaged in relief work that It is impossible to sift out all the grafters and the wolves nre bound to creep in.

"A striking instance of the harm done by sending old clothing instead of new. ill a well meant desire to help the sufferers, is shown in the case of a young man a student of I.eland Stanford universitywho is dying, or is probably dead by now. from blood poisoning caused "by handling old, germ lnden clothing iu the relief work tit the Horace Maun station. At first every old bundle was thoroughly fumigated before it was handled, but latterly, in the rush of work, this was not always done, with the fatal result above. Six doctors worked over him.

but the mischief was done and the life sacrificed. The awful conditions which maintain in the wrecked city are trayed in the following language: "It is a still, moonlight night, Mill por but with something peculiar in the atmosphere that Californinns call 'earthquake and as we were returning from the other side of the nay about 10 o'clock someone remarked thut the 17th of April was just such a night as this. From the electric car that burrowed in and out of the debris pile streets, the stricken city looked sad enough fn all truth. For block after block beyond the ferry building, no lights. Darkness and debris.

Shadowy ghosts of wealth and proud commerce haunted the splintered walls and sighed over countless graves. On nnd on. No lights. Darkness and debris. Then, out of the desolate waste, horrible stench unmistakably the stench of decomposition from the poor bodies that were either buried in trenches too shallow or that could not be reached before under the heavy mass of brick and iron.

Fast one block, and two more, the deadly stench continued, with the shape of pistilence looming high. Still no lights. Darkness and weird shadows. A cheerful glow at the postofflce. Again darkness and strange silence, and no lights.

A sad spectacle, in all truth and the end is not yet in sight. C. P. K. TRAINS CANCELLED.

How San Francisco Was Awakened by a Shock Which Made the Houses Rock Like Storm Tossed Ships Press' Policy of Concealment. Constantly reports have been received in tli'ts city from private sources to the effect that the earthquake shocks at San Francisco were by no moans over and that temblor of v.iryine intensity are O'curring nt frequent intervals.

Thee reports have been hushed from public notice by the San Francisco press anil public so that the outside world may not know the conditions which exist and still further unsettle confidence in the ruined city. On the night of 4th it shake occurred which was briefly reported to the outside world and recorded In the press of the city. The following is the account as it appeared in the Sau Francisco Call, being placed at the foot of a column on the back page among the advertisements: "At 11 o'clock last night a sharp earthquake shock was felt throughout the city. No damage was done. It was quite forcibly felt in the ferry building.

A bucket in one of the rooms was knocked off a table by the temblor." The following report concerning the shock from Miss Isabel Macl.oan of this city, dated June 5th, would prove that the occurrence was of far greater importance and result than the outside public would be led to believe without the definite information furnished. "At midnight two hours ago the sleeping city was awakened hy a loud, rumbling noise, like deep thunder, accompanied by a severe shock, which rocked the houses like storm tossed ships and brought everybody out of bed in a twinkling. This is the heaviest shock iince April IS. The direction of the earthquake was north nnd south, as observed in the waving of the pavements. This cannot be said to hold true in all parts of the city, as in the disaster of the 18th of April, while some places howed a X.

E. nnd S. W. cut, others not far off showed an opposite course. In this neighborhood every window went up, and excited people called to each other and flocked into the streets.

At the hour of writing the trembling is so marked that sleep is out of the question, and we have packed our belongings to be ready for flight at any moment, should another shock come. That is the I worst of earthquakes. One can never tell when the next is coming. People are walking about, afraid to return to their homes, asking each other what it all means, and what the end will he: dogs are howling under a misty moon; of previously earthquaked buildings in partial ruins are heard from the business section and altogether, things are nnpleasantly interesting. The opinion is freely given that if another shock of equal violence occurs, San Francisco will never be rebuilt; and those who, before midnight, were prepared to sink or swim with the place, are making every preparation to leave.

The following stinging indictment of the relief work in San Francisco forms a portion of the report: "From every quarter somes the story of bad management on the part of those in charge of relief work.
