PUPILS WILL MISS
EXAMINATIONS.
No Provision Is Made for
Grading of Scholars
! When Schools Reopen
DONATIONSARRIVE

Pupils of the public schools who have
tendency to be lazy will be in para
disc when the doors Of the halls of
learning swing open on July %. No
questions will be asked as to standing
by the teachers and the most accessible
school will be the right one for the
pupil to register in. This is the re-
suit of orders which Superintendent
Roncovieri has issued.
This snap will not last, however, for
as soon as the affairs at headquarters
fall into the familiar rut an investiga-
ton will be made and each case taken
up by former principals.
City Superintendent Schiller of Niles,
Mich, has notified the school recon
struction committee that he has sum
on hand representing the contribution
of his schools, and will forward it at
once. Although the school children of
South Bend, Ind, contributed nearly
$500 to the relief of San Francisco
sufferers within ten days after the dis
aster, Superintendent Moon writes that
they will give a donation for rebuild
ing purposes alone later in the year.
City superintendent Winfrey of Reno,
New, says the committee will hear
from his pupils in September.
New receipts for this enterprise are:
Astoria, Ore, $51; Medford, Mass, $50;

EPARING To MOVE
CAMP GARFIELD.
Location Condemned as
Unsanitary by Health
BoardandCommission
RESIDENTS OBJECT

Final order has been given the
campers at Garfield square to prepare
10 move their possessions to Precita
Park. Garfield square has been con-
demned by the health inspectors and
Major CASTOR as unsanitary and lack
ing in necessary conveniences. The
land is fat and heavily wooded, which
feature is avoided by all sanitary
campers. and waste water has caused
the conditions to go from bad to
worse.
Precita or Bernal Park is open and
has a natural drainage. New latrines
and laundries, with hot and cold
water baths. are being built.
But the refugees complain that the
new location is subjected to cold fogs
and high winds. This condition Is, in
the opinion of the commissioners
preferable TO the dangers from dis
ease which arise in Garfield square
Precita Park is large enough to ac-
commodate additional residents
No serious objection is expected
when the moving is begun, but should
there be tendency to resist removal
the police will be summoned to enforce
1t by request of the Park Commission
ers.

ALL BRICKS MUST
BE REMOVED.
Board of Works Notifies
Property Owners to
Clear Off Sidewalks
TO CLEAN STREETS

The Board of Works yesterday or
dered notices sent to property owners
who are piling bricks on streets and
sidewalks in the burned district to
remove the same within forty-eight
hours under penalty of arrest. 1t is
said that the bricks are piled with a
view to future sale, thus causing OBJ
struction to traffic.
The board decided to utilize an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to clear off city
property and adjoining lots where the
debris from municipal buildings has
fallen.
The board directed Secretary Levy to
notify the railroad company that 1t is
ready 10 load the debris from the City
Hall on Larkin street.
Bids were opened for the building of
sewers on Valencia street from Eight
eenth to Nineteenth and on Fourteenth
from Howard to Harrison and referred
TO the City Engineer, who will report
on the advisability Of accepting the
lowest bids this morning.
John G. Barker was given permis-
sion to erect two ornamental lamps on

The board referred to Attorney De-
voto the petition of the United Rail-
roads for a permit to build curves from
the cable lines to it's trolley lines to
ascertain If the corporation has the
ii6il us II " DullQ Lu6
curves without a permit.
The board decided to ask the West
ern Construction Company to explain
why 1t is not carrying out its contract
to I'LL in Precita Valley swamp.
After the meeting, the board of
Works. the Supervisors street commit
tee and the City Engineer held a secret
conference for the purpose of taking
steps to rush the work of clearing
away the debris in the burned district
and the building Of sewers on Four
teenth and Valencia streets in order
that cars may be run thereon
After long discussion IL was agreed
that in order to permit of the improve
ment of Market street 1T will be neces-
sary to clear Howard and Mission
streets in order that traffic may not
be impeded. Sewers are to be laid in
Market street and the grade raised at
its lower end and this will necessitate
the diversion of teaming to other paral-
lei streets while the work is going on
The city officials agreed to work in
harmony in restoring all the streets to
their normal condition as soon as pos
sible. To that end they will meet
jointly at intervals to hasten the
restoration.

ELECTRICITY WILL
LIGHT CAMPS.
Relief Commissioners to
Furnish Illumination
for Potrero Refugees

Nights of darkness for the refugees
in the Potrero district are soon to be
thing of the past. The relief commits
sion received many complaints that the
camps in that part of the city were
without illumination OF any sort, and
that with the few guards supplied by
the present administration the women
and children have been living in con-
slant dread of crime.
Commissioner Moran, who is a COM
mittee of one on camps, went over the
ground yesterday with Major CASTOR.
general superintendent, and DIR. How
ard, the section chieftain. AS a result
the city lighting concern has been no.
titled to supply all the Potrero camps
with electric arc lights Immediately.
The same problem arose in regard to
the settlement at the speedway in
Golden Gate Park, where many decrepit
and aged people are housed, and arc
lights have been ordered installed on
all of the camp streets in that locality.
Danger from fire in all of the camps
is under consideration by Major Gas
ton. The placing of electric lights Will
necessitate fewer candles and lanterns
and a proportional decrease in the fire
risk.

ship SUBSIDY MEASURE
finds new ADVOCATES
Roots Trip to South America viii
Be Used as a Lever in
Behalf of the Bill.
SPECIAL p1spATcH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Secretary
Roots trip to South America to attend
the Pan-American Conference at Rio
Janeiro and to visit countries In that
part of the word will be made use of
as a powerful lever In behalf of ship
subsidy legislation at the next session
of Congress. While ship subsidy legis-
lation failed last season and 1T was
found impossible even to get the ship
subsidy bill reported out of the House
merchant marine committee, the ad-
vocates of such legislation were not
by any means discouraged. When the
session closed with their bill still in
committee they looked forward with
much hope to legislation at the short
session.
President Roosevelt has taken sides
with the advocates of a ship subsidy
measure. Secretary Root is regarded
as favorable to ship subsidy legisla-
ton. He has gone to South America
to bring South and Central America
into closer relations. both of sentiment
and commerce, with the United States.
One of the chief obstacles to larger
trade between this country and the
South American republics is the lack
of steamers of lines that fly the Amer
lean flag from the United States to
South American states, according to
the friends of ship subsidy legislation.
1t is apparent that when Secretary
Root returns to this country, having
doubtless accomplished much to bring
the northern and southern republics
closer together, 1t will be a particular
ly appropriate time to urge that If the
consummation of the movement for
closer relations Is to be reached the
Government must extend a helping
hand to American steamship lines to
South America.

CAMP LAKE PEOPLE
ASKED To MOVE.
Relief Commission Not
Able to Aid the Needy
Living at That Place

Pack your things and move If you
don't like Colonel Lake and his man
agement is the advice of the relief
commission to the residents OF the
camp at the junction Of Market and
Fourteenth streets. AS the refugees
there are in no way under the control
of the. regular relief workers, the COM
plant of conditions cannot be laid at
their door with any degree of reason
Camp Lake is on private ground
which the colonel claims to have leased
and to collect rent by the authority Of
the Mayor. The relief finance commit
tee utterly refused to consider the
claims of Colonel Lake and his en-
ployes for services rendered at the en-
campment, as it is not included in the
list Of permanent and organized camps
II know of no petition from the peo-
pie OF that section" said Commissioner
Moran yesterday. The matter is en-
tirely out of our Jurisdiction we can
only account for the organized camps
That camp has never been organized,
and never can be. 1t lies on private
ground and all regular camps are on
public property" Questioned as to
whether supplies were sent to the peo-
pie, Mr.. Moran said: Most certainly.
The people are entitled to the goods
as well those living in our camps"
But the commission does not attend
TO the distribution or the supplies and
the cause of complaint probably lies in
that direction.
Ernest P. Bicknell, secretary to DR..
Deyine and the relief commission, had
the petition on file, but was of the
same opinion as Commissioner Moran
that nothing could be done. He said:
we can't help the people in their
present predicament. If they will move
to another locality we would be able
and willing to come to their aid, and
If they notify us that they are de-
sirous of changing residence to one of
our camps we win gladly move them
and provide for their needs to the best
Of our ability. AS the matter rests
now, we are powerless and can take
no action"
But it is doubtful that the campers
can be persuaded to move. 1t has been
the experience of the relief committees
that refugees become attached to the
places where they have dwelt for some
time,

Soldiers Ordered to Stop
All Hoodlumism in

All disturbers of the peace In the
refugee camps at the Presidio will be
escorted to the gate by a military
guard or locked up until proper ar
rangements can be made to have them
turned over to the civil authorities.
A special order to that effect war
issued yesterday by Colonel Charles
Morris, commander of the post, and
is designed to put stop to the many
complaints of drunken rows and in
suits to unprotected women. which
have been frequent of late.
Since the saloons reopened men of
the hoodlum element have carried
liquor into the reservation and attempt
ed TO enter the tents occupied by lone
women. In order to stop these out
RACES the colonel has ordered that the
soldiers on guard. and especially those
near the Lombard-street gate, shall In
vestigate disturbances and deal with
the authors thereof according to the
nature of the offense
Outside the Lombard-s street entrance
turmoil and trouble have existed ever
since the fire. Prior to the reopening
of the groggeries tailor shops and fruit
stands sold liquor to the soldiers and
to civilians whom they could trust to
keep their secret. and during the reign
of the blind Pig fights were frequent
and many citizens beaten while return
ing home from work. While this was
going on outside the gates the camps
were guarded, but when the soldiers
were ordered to their proper stations
to prepare for the maneuvers at Ameri-
can Lake the hoodlums invaded the
reservation and the tents of the un-
protected.
Colonel Morris is determined to
stamp out the disorderly element
Should the offender be a soldier he will
be severely dealt with.

FEDERAL COURT PREVENTS
CARRYING OUT OF SENTENCE
Allows a Writ of Error in the Case
of Mayor Rose of Kansas City
Convicted of Contemut

WASHINGTON, July 13-Justice
Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court today allowed a writ of error
to the Kansas Supreme Court in the
case of Mayor W. W. Rose of Kansas
City, Kan, and ordered a stay of pro-
ceedings by the Kansas court. The
writ was allowed on petition from
Rose, in which he seeks to have the
Federal Court review the action of the
State Court in imposing a fine of $1,000
upon him for contempt in becoming a
candidate for Mayor a second time af-
ter he had been ousted by the State
court on a charge of failure to execute
the State liquor law. The contempt
verdict provided that Rose should be
imprisoned IL the fine was not paid
within twenty days.
Justice Brewers action will have the
effect of preventing either the collec-
tion of the money or the enforcem ent
of the imprisonment penalty until the
Federal Court can investigate the mat
ter after convening next October.
