HARMONY ON FINANCE.
Everything in Frisco Now Estab
lishcd on Business
Basis.

SAN FRANCISCO, April ~
Harmony marked the meeting today
of the citizens committees and rep
resentatives of the army which is ad-
ministering the affairs in the city.
The last sign of a misunderstanding
has disappeared. Street cars have
been resumed in certain sections
The first permit for the erection Of
modern steel structure on the
ground occupied a few days ago By
a less substantial one was taken OUT.
Archbishop Riordan appeared at the
meeting of the citizens general com.
mittee and in an eloquent speech
counseled harmony among those
striving to bring order out Of chaos
and predicted the city would be
greater and more beautiful and a
pluck and enterprise than old San
Francisco. Union should be our
watchword, and whatever differ
ences may have existed between the
men of this community in the past
should be wiped out said the arch
bishop. Mayor Schmitz replied that
harmony had already prevailed and
whatver enmity had been felt in the
past had been wiped out and that
the citizens of San Francisco had but
one object in view-the immediate
upbuilding of a newer and a greater
municipality. DR.. Devine, in be-
half of the Red Cross society, read
a telegram from Secretary Taft tell
ing of the qualification of President
Roosevelt upon learning that har-
mony now exists. The temperance
of the street cars was celebrated as
great event. City and railroad
officials filed the street cars. Mayor
Schmitz acting as motorman. At
sight of the car it was greeted by
cheers. Service on several lines was
started in the day and thousands of
people We're carried free.
A cold rain fell several hours last
night and brought additional hard
snip to people sheltered only by
tents in the parks. The wind blew
gale from the north all day, scat
tering dust and ashes everywhere
In some places, throwing down the
tottering walls of burning buildings
favorable since the fire on account of
no heat in the tents of the homeless
as well as in the homes of more for
tunate ones.
The Chinese question is temporari
ly solved. Knowing the gregarious
habits of the Chinese officials it was
feared that If a few returned to their
old quarters in the Chinatown dis
trict the entire celestial population
would return and the problem of how
to get rid of Chinatown, which has
been agitating the city for several
years would be as great as ever.
Therefore, the Chinese have been
moved temporarily to a tract Of
ground in the Preside reservation
until arrangements could be made
for their permanent city at Hunters
Point on the southern arm of San
Francisco bay. The condition of a
number of Italians camped on the
north beach is greatly improved
Their ignorance of camp life caused
most of the unsatisfactory condi-
tions.
Arrangements were made by the
finance committee with Superintend-
ent Leach of the Mint by which he
will handle all relief and Red Cross
funds, honoring drafts upon them.
Fifty thousand dollars has been
turned over 10 the Oakland commit
tee and $2,50 to the Catholic relief
committee of Oakland. This has
left available for immediate use
s51S,000.
