Sin embargo, la experiencia ha
echado por terra Ia suposicion. Su

BERKELEY GUARD REDUCED
TO LESS THAN THIRTY MEN.
Cut in Force Made Necessary by the
Depletion of the Relief Fund.

Cut in Force Made Necessary by the
Depletion of the Relief Fund.
BERKELEY, May 4.-The guard Of
sixty men that has been patrolling the
streets Of Berkeley at night, since the
earthquake, has been reduced from
sixty to twenty-five members. The
guard is made up Of United Veterans Of
the Spanish War, who offered their SER
vices for patrol duty when it was seen
that the influx Of strangers might make
necessary an addition to the regular
police force.
The men have been paid ST day and
rations. Their headquarters are at 2065
Center street. The relief fund has been
drawn upon for the money to pay these
men, but the fund has been depleted
until it is now necessary to cut the
force. The veterans are all young, able
bodied men, many of whom lost their
positions as result of the fire, and
who have found the meagre wage and
rations a boon, at this time. They have
maintained splendid order in the col
lege town, no offenses Of serious char
acter having occurred, as result Of
their vigilance.

fifty feet. They escaped with their
lives. They were cut and bruised, but
not seriously hurt. Their injuries
were treated at the Receiving Hospital

Its speed was such that when it col
lided with a big telegraph pole the
pole was snapped like pipestem.
The electric lights at Berkeley were
put out of commission for several
hours by the accident, as the pole
broken by the car carried heavy main
wires that supplied current for light

PRESIDENT SPEAR BLOCKS
SCHEME OF SPECULATOF
Real Estate Man Tries in Vain to Sc
cure Lease of Block of State
Property.

As Fillmore street is the Market
street of the city-as-it-is, SO have
the wharves and bulkheads of the
water front assumed the added impor
tance that was California streets in
the city-as- -it-was. The State
property along the water front is in
big demand by shipping people. and
other interests are exerting influence
to secure temporary locations outside
the fire scars. Even the real estate
spectators are not overlooking this
unharmed strip of business territory.
A business-like Individual ap-
preached President Spear of the Har-
Dor Board yesterday.
II am representing the fruit can
merry interests of the city, Mr.. Spear,
and have been delegated to call on
you and arrange for the lease of a
block of State property"
Spear informed him that the State
made no leases.
The man was iusistent and enlarged
upon the importance of the industry
he represented and the necessity, for
the sake OF the business of the port,
that the fruit Gamers be located near
the water front and at once.
by the way" asked President Spear,
what particular cannery are you in
terested in?"
The man made long explanation
that explained nothing.
you tell the cannery people L
come to me individually. Each case
will be considered by itself, and If we
can do anything to help them cut for
the time being it will be done" was
Spears ultimatum.
Then the man told the truth. He
was real estate broker If he got
control of block Of State land, he
said, he could turn it over to the can
merry people and make q fat commits
sion on the transaction.
He did not get the lease.

WILL RUSH WORK IN BIG
HOTEL IN COLLEGE TOWN.
Capitalists Interested in Enterprise In
Opportunity to Make Coin Out Of
Disaster

BERKELEY, May 4.-One result of
the calamity in San. Francisco is the
determination of the Claremont hotel
hackers, including Mason and McDuf-
ie, Louis Titus anda several Oakland
capitalists to rush work to the limit on
the big hostelry, in the hope that the
hotel may be ready for guests before
the winter months come. 1t is believed
that the hotels accommodations will be
desired by the many who now are with
out the comforts to which they have
been accustomed, and who have discov-
cred during the last fortnight that life
on this side of the bay is desirable
thing, even when ones business in
terests all are in San Francisco.
The new tourist hotel is to cost
100000. F. w. Richardson, hotel
man of Southern California, is to man
age the institution.

One of the "ireproof" safes of Hea-

terday on the bulkhead of Mission
street wharf. 1t was a large safe. with
thick walls and heavy doors, but all
its ''fireproofness" had availed nothing
IN the awful heat of that fire. Books,

as if they had been fed into a white

About 5000 in silver coin was all
right. the discoloration being the only
