Mission Dolores, the oldest building in the city, has survived the -earth- | quake unscathed. For 130 vears the structure has weathered many visita- |l)ons and seemingly is impervious to | tae vagaries of the elements, which | toss and tear and play such havoc { with great modern architectural | monuments. | Though Mission Dolores escaped | the ravages of a tremendous shake-up, fire for a time threatened to sweep | out the landmark. Thursday night at 11 o'clock the fire in the Mission was checked at the Swedish Lutheran Church, which had not becn hurt by the carthquake. The | sheetiron steeple of the church was | | beginning to burn wien the Rev. Dr. | Philip Andreen, pastor of the church, |and J. A. Sondell formed a bucket | brigade of 300 volurteers, who car- ried the water from a nearby sewer and spring in milk cans to the top of the inside of the steerle. The con- tents of some fifty milk cans was | pressed into service from band to hand and the fire was sSoon extin- guished. The progress of the flames was caecked 80 as tc save the old Mission Doleres Church. The new | church buiiding was wrecked by the earthgquake ard the Notre Dame Con- ven: building was Lurned to tae ground. The sisters and pupils had { been previously taken from the con- vent to places of safety. The saving {of the Swadish Lutheras Courch was | the key to the fire s tuation at this point, as the flames were stopped at Twentieth and Dclores streets. ket i S SAED o TELEPHONE LINE OPENED. The telephone company established ! long distance communication from the jcity down the coast yesterday. .The wire was strung to the station at Pag. and Pierce streets, and a line now con- nects that station with that at Stein-r and Pine streets. The Postal Tei:- graph Company has a wire out of ferry station, but it is working poorly | San Pablo; because of damnge done to the bay cable by the earthquake. e L. & M.

Food Supply Is Ample, but Un- nerved Throng Entertains Grim Fears of Famine, [Refugees From Western Addi- tion Whose Homes Escaped Flames, Now Returning, | Water Scarce and the Supply in Stow Lake Will Be Used for Drinking, Lumber Is on Hand for the Erection of an Exten- sive Shelter Camp. There are about 200,000 people en- camped in Golden Gate Park. The chilly fog that swept over the place late yesterday afternoon added to the discomfort and suffering. In this sec- tion the dread of famine has seized the people. There is, however, no real need to fear starvation, for there is a big food supply station at Stanyan and Page streets. The Park Hospital established on the lawn near the wreck of the for- mer hospital took in nearly 300 pa- tients. The worst cases are in tents. In the Western Addition people have returned to their flats and are taking in those of the homeless who are re- turning from the park. Improvised tents and shelters of all | sorts are put up in the park. It has been found necessary to econ- omize on the water supply at Golden Gate Park. Sentries are guarding Stow Lake. The water is to be used for drinking purposes only. An effort will be made to start the park water- works soon. The unfortunates in the park move restlessly to and fro from one section to the other. So far there has been no serious trouble from thieves or van- dals. The ocean beach is still crowded. The refugees there are provided for by friends and by the relief committes. Most of the suffering is from cold. In the panhandle of the park at Ba- ker and Fell The Call has established a registration bureau, where those who are going into the park can leave lheir‘ names. News of the missing can be had there. The Fire Patrol is in call in Cills’ district under the supervision of Cap- tain Comstock. Devisadero street is being patrolled by a provost guard.

Cills, with four patrol- men, who is looking after the welfare of 6000 people in the district bounded by Lombard, Bay, Buchanan sts. and Van Ness ave., reports everything quict nd no accidents. The water is good and plentiful, several wells having been opened up. The relief committee desires it announced that any one needing water may get it from any available source without asking per- mission. A. W. Starbird of the committee on temporary buildings for the sufferers announced last night that he will have 100,000 feet of lumber in Golden Gate Park for the erection of shelter for the homeless. General Funston has laid out the plans of the camp.

P e ey W ATLANTA, Ga., April 18.—Believing that he died last Thursday and that he is no more of this world, Alonzo Jones asked the police to lock him im a cell, and was accommodated. “I yvant you to lock me up,” said Jones. *“ Jam a dead man as far as this world is concerned. I laid down on my bed last Thursday and died. I have here a body of flesh and bone, but it is a deaq body. I am no more of this world. I can do the world no more | good and I want to be locked up. Ever since I died I have been led by a spirit.” Jones kept repeating after being locked up, “I am dead in the flesh, but I am pure in spirit.” Friends of the young man say that he has done noth- ing but study religion since the first of March, ; CALL HEADQUARTERS The San Francisco Call has established headquarters at 1651 Fillmore street, between Post and Geary sireets.

The Ocean Shore will put down tracks on Market. street, from Twelfth to the ferry. Thornwell Mullaly and George F.

Mullaly and Chapman are in tele- graphic communication with the United Railroads Investment Company of New York. It is not vet decided whether the cable system will be re- stored, as the big powerhouses and cable machinery were wrecked and | burned. It may prove economical to { rebuild on the electric conduit plan. ‘Workmen began clearing Mission street yesterday. The line will be opened as quickly as possible so as to connect Gelden Gate Park and the | Westren Addition with the ferry. FRNEIN, TR L {ARMY OF REFUGEES AIDED IN ALAMEDA Headquarters ~Are Opened to Afford Relief to Many Un- fortunates.

R SR A CHICAGO, April 19.—A remarkable story was told in Judge Pond’s court- room today, when grown brothers and sisters learned that the man who reared them was not their father. ‘Then, although he has fulfilled a father’s duty to them and now is blind and feeble, they refused to contribute to his support. The old man, who must pass his re- | maining years a pensioner of the country, is Philip Lindemann, now in his 85th year. The four brothers and sisters, three of whom learned for the first time that he was not their father, are John and Arthur Lindemann, Mrs. Amelia McIntyre and Mrs. Kate Ward. In 1861 Oscar Lindau, said to be the real father of the children, left his wife and four babies at their home in Cincinnati, and went with an Ohio regiment to the front. He never came back, nor any word of his fate reach the wife and child- ren. At the close of the war Linde- | mann appeared and married Mrs. Lindau, the children being led to be- | lieve by their mother that he was | their father. | I[MPORARY OFFICE, Three months ago the mother died, | and there has since been contention | as to who should care for Lindemann, | who became blind ten years ago.
