REHABILITATION
FUND IS HERE
E. w. A. Waterhouse
Raises Sum Among
Eastern Firms.
Self Respecting Persons
Only Are Eligible
for Benefits.
BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS.

In times of stress two classes OF
needy people are to be reckoned with
those who will talk of their troubles
and those who won't.
OF the first class there's seldom a
need to worry, their frankness or their
assertiveness, or their common sense,
whichever you please, bringing their
necessities to the front. It's the retir-
ing. sensitive reticent brother that
needs to be looked up and a friendly
hand extended to nim. And thus will
he unbosom himself under the glow of
communal sympathy thing far re-
moved from pity, the despised thing of
the proud.
1t was this thought that prompted
f. w A. waterhouse of Waterhouse &
Lester to make an appeal to his East
ern correspondents in behalf of the
proud poor of the city-the reticent
poor who have refused to lay bare to
the worlds glare their losses and mis-
fortunes, and who have not been
reached by the quasi-public methods
of the Red Cross.
Just to set them going again. said
Mr. Waterhouse that these self-re-
specting men and women may the
sooner become self-supporting. They
don't want charity, but they will well
come help to get on their feet again
And SO the appeal went East three
weeks ago that equipment for work
might be procured.
And the appeal fell not upon unheed-
ing ears. Although all the firms had
contributed at the first great call they
were impressed by the spirit of the
smaller voice and the response was
immediate-with a P. S. to call again,
if needed And blessings upon the
great impersonal East!
And behold the fruits of the appeal,
snuggled away in the Bank of Califor-
nia-s2635.75 in good gold coin, 5000
already having been drawn for press
ing cases of personal knowledge.
The following firms were the con-
tributors to the Waterhouse fund the
largest sum yet raised for private dis
tribution:
Cleveland Axle Manufacturing Com
pany, Canton O.; Roger Wheel Com
pany. Gincinnati, O.; The Toledo Car
dard Table & Oil Cloth Co., New York.
IN. Y; Stengel & Rothschild, Newark,
n. j.; Excelsior Seat Company, Colum-
bus, O.; Excelsior Seat Company (em-
Conn. william and Harvey Rowland,
Philadelphia, Pa; Mutual Wheel Com
pany, Moline, ILL.,; Rhode Island Per-
kins HIS. Company. Providence, R. l.;
American Horseshoe Company, Phil
lipsburg, N. j.; Edward Smith & Co..
New York
OF these, the American Horseshoe
Company of Phillipsburg subscribed
$1,000, the Rhode Island Perkins Horse
Shoe Company $500 and Edward Smith
& Co. $500.
And in most instances Come again"
was noted in the corner where such
things go-which Mr.. Waterhouse will
be pleased to do when the present fund
runs low.
The distribution of the money, or
its equivalent. has been placed in the
hands of Mrs. Columbus Waterhouse,
3S40 Clay street, chairman; Mrs. A. w.
Scott, 305 Buchanan street, and Mrs.
Laura Bride Powers, The Call.
Have you friends who fit the condi-
tions above? Then communicate at
once with any member of the commit
tee and rest assured that the individ-
uality of the fund is its abolition OF
publicity.

HEARS PRES|DIO
LINES PETITION
Supervisors Are Asked to
Allow rolleyizing
of Road.

President H. NJ Newhall of the Pre-
sidio and Ferries Railroad Company is
willing to make many promises if the
Supervisors viii grant his petition to
turn that street car line into an over
head trolley system. He will not only
have the line completed within four or
five months, but he will agree to have
an electric light on every other pole
along a portion of the line, and, more
than that. will arrange for a better
system of transfer than was in use
before the fire.
The consideration of this application
came up at a meeting of the Board Of
ident Newhall briefly stated the posi-
tion of the company. He said that the
catastrophe demoralized the entire
system. and that the company found
itself owning a franchise. part of
roadbed and some real estate. He said
that since he had made application for
permission to turn the cable road into
an electric line he had received num-
Der of delegations from the Western
Addition urging him 90 push through
the project.
we have been employing from $50
to 200 men, he continued, "and they
want to go to work. We have promised
TO give them the first chance if we are
permitted to go ahead"
In answer to questions Newhall ex-
planned that il would take a year TO
put the line into shape as 2 cable road.
but only four months would be re-
quired to install the trolley system.
He also stated that while there might
be one difficult grade for an electric
line the difficulty could easily be met.
Supervisor Rea, however asked oues-
tions as to what the company would be
willing TO give the people. He wanted
to know If ornamental poles would be
used and the feed wires put under
ground, and the reply was that this
would be done in the downtown dis
trict In response TO his request for
information as 10 transfer facilities
President Newhall stated that the line
issued transfers with the California
street line at HYDE street and expects
to make arrangements with the United
Railroads to transfer at Polk and
Union streets and so on Powell
or Kearny. The COM tee decided to
take the matter under advisement.
A resolution was adopted granting
Schlesenger g. Bendell permission to
construct a spur track on Harrison
street near Mariposa-

DEN|CkE CASE
IS SUBMITTED
People Close Examina-
tion---Defense Moves
to Dismiss.

Police Judge Shortall will sdecide
next Wednesday afternoon whether TO
hold Ernest Denicke on the charge
of murder for shooting and killing
John Doe" on East street, opposite
Lombard-street wharf, on April 20, or
discharge him from custody
The case for the prosecution was
closed yesterday morning by the tes-
timony of n. Kariya, Japanese, and
Detectives Hammill and Dow. Kariya
who is cook on the steamer Golden
Gate, testified that he saw a man ly-
ing on East street. The witness was
unable to tell the mans nationality
The man asked him for q glass of
water. which was given him. Witness
did not see the man die.
Hammill and Dow testified to ar
resting the defendant on May and
that defendant had acknowledged
shooting the man and said he was
sorry. but he had to do his duty. He
handed them the revolver with which
he had done the shooting.
Elk Governor Budd then made a mo-
tion for the discharge of the defend
ant on the ground that the evidence
of the prosecution did not show that
any crime had been committed on
April 20 or at any other time and
also showed conclusively that if a
crime had been committed it was done
by the defendant in the discharge of
his duty as officer in endeavoring
to apprehend a person who had com
mitted crime in his presence
Budd referred to the definitions OF
murder in the first and second degrees
and of manslaughter, and contended
that the defendant was not guilty of
any one. He laid stress upon the May
or's proclamation ordering any citi-
zen to enforce the law by even killing
looter. 1t was monstrous, he said
in the circumstances existing on April
20 to have the defendant charged
with murder for doing his duty and his
name besmirched by appearing on the
court records as charged with murder.
Assistant District Attorney Ward
argued that the defendant should be
held to answer for murder and a jury
allowed to determine whether he was
] guilty or innocent He saw no dis
tinction between the case of Simmons.
Vance and Boynton. held to answer
for the murder of H. c. Tilden, and
the case of the defendant He con-
tended that the Mayors proclamation
was not valid document and should
be eliminated from the discussion
Attorney A Ruef followed with an
argument In support of the motion to
dismiss. He commended the Mayor for
issuing the proclamation, as the only
law that existed at that time was the
law of necessity.
The Judge said he would reserve
his decision on the motion till next
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock

There are already plenty of places
for the shopper. They are not quite
as cozy and attractive as the stores
along Market street before the fire, but
some of the temporary emporiums are
far from ugly. An example, and a good
one, is the Golden. Gate Cloak and Suit
House on McAllister street, near Golden
Gate avenue.
The owners of the Golden Gate Cloak
and Suit House Will relocate on Market
street as soon as they can make ar
rangements for quarters there They
built near Van Ness in preference to
Fillmore street because they believe
that the business section will be rap
idly restored TO Market street. and they
desire TO be as near the main thorough
fare as possible in the meantime.

To EXPAND WORK
Of PROMOTION
California Committee Is
to Go Forward on
Broader Lines.

Substantial evidence is being given
at the headquarters Of the California
Promotion Committee that the business
men OF San Francisco are desirous of
following up the work of the organiza-

would hereafter increase its subscrip-
ton as an associate member to $3.50 a
month. This association, together with
all those who have come in contact
with the work OF the committee, feel
that the work done in the past was of
such vast benefit TO California that no
better means Of exploitation can be had
than through the committee.
The committee has been in active op-
GRAFTON ever since the first week after
the FIRE and has already opened CORE
spoRoence with a great number of peo-
pie throughout the East and has also
sent many articles 70 the Eastern news
papers and magazines. which articles
are calculated 10 inspire confidence and
renew the desire to come to California
either for investment or for a new
home.
The growth of San Francisco is so
intimately connected with the growth
Of the State that the work of the Cali
fornia ProrpotiOn Committee is one OF
the strongest factors 10 be counted on
In the upbuilding OF the city. and it is
the realization Of this fact which is
causing the business men of the city
70 turn TO the committee now as the
best means afforded 10 have an abso-
lutely correct presentation made of con-
ditions as they exist.

nestle science, primary industrial work and
methods of teaching.
There are 2,454 primary school buildings
In the islands owned by the municipalities,
and in addition a number of buildings be-
longing to the provinces, but not con-
structed originally for school purposes, are
used. Private instruction, the report says,
plays large part in the intellectual life
OF the islands. Many of the schools are
supported by the Catholic church, with a
history reaching back several decades.
Some of these institutions teach English,
although in practically all Of them Spanish
is the basis Of instruction. The Filipino
teachers, DR.. Barrows says, continue to
gain in reliability, strength of character
and moral purpose.
