feet wide and selling, off the portion not
needed for the boulevard, at prices
which paid not only for all the land but
also for the cost of making the boule-
ward. This might be done by San Fran
cisco If the laws could be amended.
II. A. Schultz, representing the archi-
tects, said that it was demonstrated
that good buildings would withstand
both fire and earthquakes. j. ID. Gal
loway, representing the civil engineers,
urged haste.
''Three architects three contractors
and an attorney, said Rucf, "will be
appointed on committee to aid the
Supervisors in revising the building
laws to report in two weeks''
1t was the desire of the Supervisors,
said James Il. Gallagher, to make San
Francisco more beautiful city than it
ever had been. For that reason they
wanted to be sure that the first steps
were right. He wanted streets and
boulevards laid out first; but CONNER
cial needs were acute and he urged the
greatest haste by committees. William
Curlett, City Engineer Woodward, L.
p. f. Troy and others also offered sug-
gestions.

HIS SOUVENIR.
DISCUSS PLANS
FOR NEW CITY.

Chronicle: Enthusiasm was the key
note of the meeting between the Su-
pervisors and architects yesterday af-
ternoon to consider plans for rebuilding
the city. The hall over general head
quarters was crowded to the doors, and
the general opinion was that the time
was ripe for widening streets, laying
out new thoroughfares and creating
parks before rebuilding the city. Re
marks favoring these ideas and the con-
struction of better buildings brought
frequent applause. The temper of the
people of San Francisco was clearly in
dicated by the addresses by the numer-
Gus persons, including business and pro-
fessional men.
Code Commissioner John Davis of
Amador favored reconstructing the city
on the compartment plan widen
ing Van Ness avenue and extending the
Panhandle. Building laws could be
changed, he said, but another chance
would never be given to lay out the
city as it should be built.
1T is evidently the opportunity and
the duty of the citizens said Benja-
min Ida Wheeler, ''to profit by the re-
cent dispensations of Providence in
building up new and more beautiful
city. ! am convinced that earthquake
soil is good soil to dwell upon. The
old earth is engaged in building up a
coast range of hills and once in a while
she slips a cog, which We must forgive.
We must build in accordance with the
soil we live on. The shock is worse on
alluvial soil than on rock foundation.
- never appreciated so much the
magnificent situation of San Francisco
as today when | walked over it and
saw the rectangular slashes of streets
obliterated by the removal Of disfgur-
ing buildings and the glorious, gentle
sweeps of the hills offering themselves
to contour gradients. | should like TO
I see Mob Hill made into park and that
glorious view preserved for the people.
We should profit by experience and
avoid the mistake Baltimore made in
not widening streets and locating
parks
David A. Farquharson introduced as
the Ncstor of local architects, suggest
ed raising the grade in the district be-
tween Third street and the ferry, Mar
ket and Howard streets. He favored

limiting frame buildings TO two stories,

with various other suggestions. A.
Aronson declared himself IN favor of
class a buildings, aud Buef, who was
optimistic said that he WAS In favor of
tall hiidings.

Mr.. Cohen arranged for the itinerary
of the band as far east as New York.
He had engaged the Alhambra in San
Francisco, and this building survived
the earthquake. Cohen thought he
had monopoly but his hopes were
dashed for the fire swept along and
carried that structure away. The
band is to play In San Jose and
Stockton and then will go to Seattle
and Portland. thence to Butte, Salt
Lake City. Ogden, Denver, Omaha.
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Milwaukee, Chi
cago Buffalo and New York. Klaw
and Erlanger have the entire itinerary
in charge
ITO my mind It would be infinitely
better If the people of Honolulu would
devote a part of their relief fund to
paying expenses for the Hawaiian
Band to give free concerts in San
Francisco" said Mr.. Cohen yesterday.
The military bands and all musical
organizations have this In mind and
1t is something of relief to the peo-
pie to hear good music. OF course, any
engagements we may have had for san
Francisco are now cut out"
The band leaves Honolulu for San
Francisco and Oakland on May %.
ST. FRANCIS KEY
HIS SOUVENIR.
About the only thing MIR. Cohen saw
ed from the st. Francis Is the key to
the room he occupied. He was one of
the first to get out of the building after
the earthquake. He met people in cor
ridors running about without any idea
of where they were going. Women
wearing only nightdresses, bolero jack
e.s and plumed hats We're frequently
met. When Cohen returned to the ho-
tel he found it burned. and the key is
a treasured souvenir, to which a silver
ball and chain has been attached.

lost all our togs in this charming blaze.
When the earthquake came, Nielsen

all night, and when we went to our
home on Stockton street in the morn
ing for our goods and chattels-no
more! However, | have my grass skirt

with these Will be able to make n

spectacle was an appalllngly magnifi
cent one. All the grand buildings and
all the beautiful homes mass OF

miles and miles. Hundreds OF thou
sands camping out in the parks and
on the hillisdes, with what few things
they could drag along. And the wealth.

people take 1t all philosophically, and
brave and smiling faces are every
where.
/ may go to Ukiah to temporary

The tremblor lasted forty-seven sec

The feelings of the people so rudely

never be described. The noise was
like the roar of heavy guns. The sway

brick walls and the shrieks of terrihed

Severe Cold in Alaska.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. % dispatch
from Dawson says that the bottom is
falling out of the Yukon thermometers.
The coolest weather known in five
years in the Yukon valley prevails
now. Tantalus reports 50 below zero
and several other places 70 below.
Government thermometers at Dawson
registered 20 below Friday night
Overland stages and other forms of
transportation between gold producing
creeks are suspended. The North :
west police have compelled teamsters
to stop hauling wood because the in
tense cold was killing the horses.
A drop of four degrees more will
break all Dawson records. For more
than "a week it has been so below
there. Dawson is short of wood. Coal
burners have been thrown out because
the coal supply is exhausted. All out
door work is suspended. Such in
tense cold is sure to result in much
suffering and probably some fatalities
among miners in exposed localities
throughout the Yukon valley.

PANIC in CHURCH
Eighteen People Killed and About Fifty
Injured in Stampede Of coIored
Congregation at PhiIadeIphia-Peo-
pie Were Alarmed by Cry of Fire
and Sight Of Smoke.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Eighteen per-
sons were killed and probably half a
hundred injured in a panic following
the cry of fire" last night in st. Paul's
Colored Baptist church on the west
side of Eighth street, between Poplar
street and Girard avenue. The serv-
ices were being held on the second
floor Of the building.
A defective flue set fire to the CHM
ney casing, causing smoke to pour thru
the crevices in the floor near the pull
pit. The room was well filed and the
cry of fire" coupled with the sight
of smoke, threw the congregation into
a panic.
A wild rush was made for the stairs,
despite the efforts of Rev. e. W. john
son, the pastor, to allay the fears of the
frenzied people. ALI wanted to get out
at once, and men, women and children
alike We're Knocked down and tram
pied upon by those pushing from be-
hind. The stairway to the first floor
had one sharp turn in it and the
lIiSlllSuSu l)toplC OGCdlHe So llSHlly
wedged in the bend of the stairs that
the frail wooden banister gave way,
precipitating many to the first floor
The crash and the screams and
shrieks of the women and children
added to the frenzy of those above
They did not stop in their onward
rush to get out. Notwithstanding the
wide open doors ON the first floor
leading to the street. the crush was so
great that eighteen persons had the
life stamped out of them before the
panic was ended.
A. general alarm was sent in for am
balances. firemen and policemen. Men
and women ran about the streets call
ing for missing loved ones. The fire
was only trifling, the flames being ex-
tinguished before the firemen arrived.
