ton and by them loaned out to the small borrow

back to the Government in ten years with interest.
The President was struck with the practical char
acter of this proposition and suggested that it be
put in detailed and proper form and presented to
him in day or two, when he would submit it to
the consideration of his advisers. He further sug-
gested that the committee should sound the leaders
in Congress and find out what they thought of the

OPPOSITION IN CONGRESS.
If the proposition for national aid should meet
the approval of the House committee and of
Speaker Cannon the necessary legislation might be
secured, but there is apparently strong opposition
in both the Senate and House to any Congressional
action authorizing the proposed Government assist
ance to San Francisco. 1t was pointed outlby sew
eral members of the House today that it would be
setting very bad precedent for Congress to come
to the aid of afflicted citizens, matter how dire
their need If it were to be done in the case of
San Francisco they declare, the farmers of the
country would appeal to Congress for national
loan their real estate of failure of crops
While the California Senators have found some
friendly sentiment in the Senate the committee
and the California delegation in the House have,
thus far, received very little encouragement in
their inquiries among Congressman, but they hope
to make more favorable impression upon the ap-
preparations committee at the coming hearing.
The desire of Secretary Taft to be heard by
the House appropriations committee on Thursday
morning another matter may cause the hearing
of the San Francisco committee to be deferred until
later in the week. In the meantime Judge Morrow

of the proposition which they will submit to Presi-
dent Roosevelt contemplating the Government loan

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASH
INGTON June Pit is proposed by the commit
tee of San Francisco citizens, which has come to
Washington to secure the aid of the National Gov
ernment in rebuilding the city, that Congress shall
authorize loan of $10000000 to the San Fran
cisco Clearing house Association the money to be
used for building homes for the people in San Fran
cisco who homeless.
This proposition was laid before President Roose-
vet by the committee today and it appeared to
impress the President as one which he might be
inclined to consider If Endorsement of the scheme
could be secured from the leading members of both
houses of Congress. The President, however, did
not commit himself to its support. There is not be-
lieved to be much reason for strong hope that Con-
gress will look fayorably on the plan The sug-
gestion that the Government lend the National Red
Cross $10,OO0000 to be expended in rehablitating
the city did not strike the President as practical
and he indicated his opposition to it in such way
that it will not further be proposed by the
mittee
1t is probable that arrangements will be made
by the Secretary of the Treasury for the acceptance
of the bonds of the city Of San Francisco as Sc

The committee, consisting of Judge w w Nor

senting E. H. Hartman of the Southern Pacific
met the members of the California delegation this
morning and after a brief consultation the entire
body visited the White House, where it was cor
daily received by President Roosevelt
PLAN APPEALS TO PRESIDENT
Judge Morrow read statement to the President
setting forth existing conditions in San Francisco
and suggesting the loan to the National Red Cross
and the acceptance Of $130OO,00O of city bonds as
security for deposits of Government money. Judge
Morrow proposed that the Secretary of the Treas
ury issue order authorizing the latter measure
to be taken and the President heartily favored this
action, but the proposed Red Cross loan, it was
plainly seen, did not meet with his approval and
he expressed the opinion that Congress would not
pass bill authorizing such action
Senator Flint then proposed that the money to
the amount of $1O0OO000, be loaned to the San
