CHICAGO MAY LOSE
ONE OF THE FINEST
OF Her STRUCTURES
City Hall Is Rapidly Getting and
Building Is in Danger of
Collapsirg.
Several Pieces of Stone Fall From the
Cornice and Employees Mar
rowly Escape Death.
Trouble Is Due to tho Excavating oi
Lot Adjoining the Mu-
nicipaI Home.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Chicago's City
Hall has settled to such an extent since
the completion Of the excavation for
the adjoining new county building that
it was found necessary yesterday TO
rope in the entrances to prevent pedes-
itrians from being Killed by the falling
sections of coping and cornices.
At the south end of the building, on
Washington street, the foundations
have sunk several inches, while the en-
tire building has assumed list In the
direction of the hole which the new
building will cover.
The City Hall and the county build
ing were of the same massive constrac-
ton, and as it was necessary to use
giant powder TO wreck parts of the lat
ter there has been no apprehension of
the city's administrative building COL
iapsing. However, though its founda-
ton walls are many feet thick, they do
not rest on the rock which underlles
the city, but merely on the clay sub
soil.
Ominous shivers ran through the
building Sunday and cracks appeared
in the board floors, the desks assumed
angles, the floor thing opened and SKI
lights doubled up and plaster fell from
the walls and ceilings. During the day
several pieces OF stone fell and two
employees narrowly escaped being killed.

Calls Upon S'ghtSeerS to
Keep Out Of the
Way.
Says Women and Children
Especially Are at
Fault.

Numerous complaints to Mayor
schmitz resulted in his issuance of
the following slf-explanatory procla-
nation last evening:
FORT MASON. Cal. April so.
To the People Of San Francisco: The
sightseeing Of the ruins has been
greatly abused during the past two
days, wagonloads Of women and chill
.dren having been taken through the
district which was swept by fire and
the cars also crowded. This is very
unfortunate and I hope viii be dis
continued. I call upon every right
thinking citizen to discourage these
sightseeing parties, as the women and
Children should be either at home or
helping to build homes. The: cars must
be used by men going 10 and coming
fIom their work and the wagons that
are being used for the stghtseeh.g x
parties should be put in commission
for the removal Of the debris and for
the carrying Of supplies. Therefore ]
request you to let no morbid curiosity
take you TO the burned district, but
he content TO do your share toward
bringing about conditions in which the
past may be forgotten and the future
made bright for the upbuilding Of our
city. E. E. SCHMITZ.
Mayor Of the City Of San Francisco. -

ed for Leases in the Retail
DlefrIHf

James L. Flood has asked all his
tenants to stay with him and says he

STEPS ARE TAKEN
TO GET MERCHANTS
CLOSER TOGETHER
Fourteen Hundred Firms in One As
sociation Are Urged to Pre-
pare List for Trade.
Considered Extremely Important to
Have Business Locations Made
Known in Interior of State.
Unless General Understanding Is Soon
Reached Merchants of North
west May invade Territory.

An important step was taken yester-
and their customers in the interior into
close relations. A communication was
sent to every member of the Mer-
chants Association in this city who has
been located In which they were urged
to make strenuous endeavors to get all
facts possible about other members for
the purpose Of preparing a list which
can be sent out TO all business points
in the interior for the guidance of IN
terror merchants and also for the in
formation Of customers of retail houses
in this city. Unless this is done the
merchants Of the Northwest may in
wade this territory.
Since the fire 1t has not been possi-
bic to rally all the members OF the Mer-
chants Association. The organization
includes 1880 wholesale and retail
houses in its membership. the largest
collection OF business men in one body
in this city. Not more than one-haif
the members have been definitely To-
Gated.
Secretary King says that the recent
disaster will not check the publication
of the Merchants Association Review
The next issue will appear in a few
days.
The directors of the Merchants Asso-
citation will consider in few days
some plans for the rebuilding Of San
Francisco. 1t will be urged that in the
new San Francisco one Or two avenues
of easy grade shall be provided to con-
meet the business sections of the down
town streets and the Western Addition
by running streets on curves Instead
of straight lines over Mob Hill and pos
sibly other hills.

MUST LAY OFF LABORERS
BECAUSE CASH is SHY
Board of Works Has No Money to Pay
Men to Clean Streets of
HIfu

The fund at the disposal of the
Board of Public Works for emergency
purposes is exhausted. This means
that hundreds of men who have been
employed clearing the streets and in
specting chimneys must be dismissed
unless some way can be devised to
raise funds to pay them.
1t has been suggested to the Board
of Supervisors that it forthwith draft
an ordinance taxing each householder
81 for chimney inspection and fixing
a specific charge for street clearage.
But, it is pointed out, a week must
elapse before an ordinance can be
finally passed authorizing the plan out
lined.
In the meantime it is quite probable
that there will be cessation of need
ed work, but at the moment there
seems TO be no way to avoid delay.
This question, however, will be fully
considered by the Board of Works
and the Supervisors today.

The commissary officers have caused
all the tents in the square to be num-

that the abuse OF overdrawing supplies,
Of which there has been much COM

reserved for the hospitals, the aged and

DESTROYED WINES VALUED
AT A VERY LARGE TOTAL
Andrea Sbarboro Says That Loss May
Be Conservatively Fixed at
$4,000. 900.

Andrea Sbarboro of the Italian Swiss
Colony at Asti, estimates that at least
100000 gallons of California wine
were destroyed by fire in this city and
at low figure, the value lost amounts
to $3,500,000. The large establishments
of the California Wine Association, the
Gundlach, Bandschu Wine Company and
of the Schilling Company, all went up
in the flames. The loss to the wine men
is therefore very much larger than is
represented by the destruction Of the
wine. The buildings and plants with
their equipments represented not less
than $2,o00,0oO more, according to a
rough estimate.
The plant of the italian Swiss Colony
on Broadway, in this city, Mr.. Sbarboro
reports to be intact. In the basement
of the building is running spring and
this provided sufficient water to use in
saving the Colony's San Francisco
structure and stored wines and was
also of benefit to the fire department
and the surrounding neighborhood.
Major Devol helped to save the Asti
wines by having stream played on the
wine plant from the Slocum.

MINERAL COLLECTION IN
FERRY BUILDING INTACT
Twenty Thousand Specimens Not
Damaged by the Earthquake
Shack

AS many persons are doubtless in
terested in learning the fate of the
State Mining Bureau during the recent
calamity which befell San Francisco,
State Mineralogist Aubury states that
the very valuable mineral collection
which was maintained in the Ferry
building is still practically intact. A
few glass cases in tho museum were
destroyed by falling debris, but the
contents were not injured, and while
the collection, which contains nearly
10000 mineral specimens, was some
what disarranged by the shock, every
effort is now being expended to again
place it in proper condition for exam
ination by the public, and it is eX-
pected that by the time repairs which
are now being made to the building
have been finished, the bureau will be
ready to reopen.
In the meantime, all requests by
mail for publication will be promptly
attended to If sent to the Ferry build
ing. Persons desiring mineral deter
limitations can forward the same as
usual, but replies cannot be expected
until after May 5th, by which time
it is expected the laboratory will be
in working order
1t is expected that there will be a
large demand for Bulletin No. 38,
Structural and Industrial Materials Of
California" which has lately been is
sued by the Bureau, as this publica-
ton will be of valuable assistance to
architects and builders.
State Mineralogist Aubury has made
careful examination of different
buildings which were located in the
burned district, and in which Califor-
MIA building stones were used in the
construction, and he unhesitatingly
states that in every case they have
stood the earthquake and fire better
than imported material, SO that with
such a severe test, the superiority Of
Californias materials has been estab-
lished.
