PUTS THE BLAME ON JEROME.
Grand Jury Reports No Action on In
surance Matters.

New York, May 2.-The grand jury
yesterday returned a presentment to
Recorder Golf in which it declared
that it had failed to investigate polit1-
cal contributions by insurance officials
because District Attorney Jerome had
advised the jury not to do so. The
Jury stated also that it had asked Mr..
Jerome for the evidence against the
insurance officials and that he had op-
posed action because he desired first
to secure an opinion from the appel
late division of the supreme court
whether such political contributions
constitute larceny. Such an opinion
Mr.. Jerome had told the jury would be
given early in May, and the cases then
could be taken up by a special grand
jury.
Commenting on the presentment,
Recorder Golf said that the jury acted
within it's authority, but that the dis
trict attorney should have submitted
the evidence.

SAN FRANCISCO
SHORT OF FOOD
MAYOR scHMlTz CREATES CON.
STARVATION IN MUNICIPAL
COMMITTEE.
SIGNS OF RENEWED ACTIVITY
PLANS FOR THIRTY LARGE BUILD
lNGS ALREADY HAVE BEEN
PREPARED.

| San Francisco, May 2. - A feeling
akin to CONSERVATION was created at
the meeting of the general municipal
committee yesterday when Mayor
Schmitz stated that the city faced a
shortage in the food supply. 1t had
been the popular belief, and that OF
many officials also, that San Francisco
had been placed in position above
want for long time to come, and the
mayors declaration came as painful
surprise.
Mayor Schmitz said 700 car loads of
food and supplies have been distribu-
ted since the morning of the earth
quake, and the Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fee and other lines had informa-
ton of only 108 cars on the way.
Food Supply Is Small.
Basing his calculations upon reports
received within the past twenty-four
hours Gen. Greedy stated that the
available food supply, including ship
ments on hand and those en- route,
would be sufficient for the present pop
ulation for fifteen days. This reckon
ing is made upon the rate at which
supplies have been consumed since
the fire. Under the army ration sys-
tenn that will hereafter prevail, how
ever. Gen. Greedy stated his belief that
the food will last twenty-one days.
within the next twelve hours,
said Gen. Greedy, I'VE shall be obliged
to deal with another vigorous problem
the question of feeding able-bod1ed
male adults. The difficulty will be to
distinguish between clerks, stenog-
raphers, music teachers and others
who are actually unable to return an
equivalent for days wages at hard
labor. Men who are able to work will
have to find occupation as fast as it is
presented"
Renewed Activity.
Signs of renewed Industrial activity
were apparent in many parts OF the
burned districts yesterday, and the
work of clearing away debris prepara-
tory to rebuilding was in progress in a
score of places. 1t is said that plans
for thirty large buildings have been
drawn and will be submitted after new
building laws have been promulgated.
The mayor notified the board OF
supervisors that he would appoint
committee consisting OF engineers.
architects, builders and lawyers to
prepare plans for reconstructing the
city.
S4rse+ Ear Traffir Exfends
Street car lines are being extended
in all directions and the United Rail
ways has promised to give the people
within a short time better system OF
transit than that which existed before
the fire.
Shipping is rapidly returning to
normal conditions. Beginning to-day
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
will run all it's steamers on schedules
in force before the disaster Accord
ing to the Merchants exchange, the
usual number of vessels are arriving.
Naturally, however, there are many
idle vessels in the harbor because of
the lack of cargo. Numerous ships
are leaving in ballast for the lumber
ports, and soon heavily laden lumber
carriers will be coming here in fleets.

Of NOMINATION

Attorney General Sturdevant yes
terday issued an official opinion to
the effect that court clerks and the
secretary of state should issue TO
nominees certificates of nomination
upon the application of nominees
therefor, and that such certificates
would serve as credentials for such
nominees to act as members of The
platform conventions of the parties
upon whose tickets they were nomin-
ated in the primary election. The
inquiry was made by Frank l. Gilbert
of Madison, district attorney OF Dane
county, and republican nominee for
the Office Of attorney general. There
is no provision of the statute for such
certificates of nomination, but the
attorney general holds that as the
law provides that the old election law
should apply III the absence Of new
provisions. the county clerk should
issue certificates of nomination as IN
der the old law they issued certif-
Gates OF election.
