SPEND AN AWFUL NIGHT | San Joseans Awakened by Earth- quake Leave Rooms to Make [ Tour of Town. | LOS ANGELES, April 21.—Several | men prominent {n local business life who passed throygh tne earthquake horror at San Jose reached here yes- terday. Among them were State Sen- ator Cornelius Pendleton, J. F. Maier of the Majer & Boeblin Brewing Com- pany and Thomas Thompson. arrived home today. All of them had thrilling experiences in the nortnern . Speaking of his experience, Sen- ator Pendleton said: “After the earthquake we made the in an automobile and saw at least twenty dead. At | Agnews Hospital for the Insane we counted sixty dead among the inmates. The a good many more. Prac- | tically every brick and stone structure |in San Jose was either totally or par- tially demolished. We were all quar- tered the Vendome Hotel. The shock of the earthquake was so severe that the floors and walls of the build- | ing collapsed at once and those of us who escaped made our way as best we could out of the building. I had a room on the side of the hotel next o a large tree. wall of my room fell against this tree, which also sustained that portion of the roof, preventing it from falling and crushing us. My room was on the second floor; when I picked myself up I was in the basement of the building. I crawled out of the de- bris and througa a window on the level with the ground, getting out. This was one of the third-story windows. Those of us who were not injured at once set about assisting the lesser for- tunate ones. I saw only one dead in the hotel. This was a woman. We arried her out. The remainder of the dead were in various parts of town. “The residence ct was not bad- ly damaged. Martial law had been de- clared in the city when we left. Among the large buildings that were totally demolished were the Hall of Justice, First Presbyterian Church, Catholic Cathedral, the Hale block, the Ven- dome Hotel, and several other large buildings that I do not know the names of. Fire broke out following the earth- quake in several quarters, but fortun- ately the spread of the flames was checked.” AR 0, R WARNING TO OAKLANDERS. OAKLAND, April 21.—Mayor Mott has issued the following: “It has been called to the attention of this office that hundreds of people are going to San Francisco merely out of curiosity. The people of San Fran- cisco are being fed, cared for and dis- tributed as rapidly as conditions will permit, It absolutely imperative that people remain away from San Fran- cisco. The going of people from this side of the bay disturbs the efforts that are being made to relieve condi- tions there. “I therefore request that only those people who have urgent and important business in San Francisco go there and that all others remain away. “Those people seeking their relatives are advised .o wait another day. It is practically impossible to find them unless their exact addresses are known and a register is now being compiled and the addresses of all people who have been rendered homeless will be published in the press at the earliest possible date. When this is done the location of relatves and friends will be facilitated and the lost ones will be more readily found. “Those people who are compelled to g0 to San Francisco should provide themselves with a food supply end should be sure of a place of shelter. “This is no occasion for people to at- tempt to gratify their curiosity. It ‘s imperative that all persons obey these instructions and co-operate to the full- est extent toward the relief of the great distress with which we are confronted. “FRANK K.
