BERRY'S QUAKE
EXPERIENCE

Fulton G.. Berry, the admiral of the
Inland Yacht Club of Fresno, has de-
cided not to take part in the ocean
yacht race to Honolulu with the sloop
yacht Mike. Speaking of the exciting
occurrences of the last two weeks.
Berry said yesterday: When they
shook out the five skies on the 18th, I
was resting quietly in Fresno. I really
felt that something had happened and
after word had reached the raisin
district of what had been handed to
San Francisco, I decided to come up
and see if there was anything left of
my home on Van Ness avenue.
Mrs. Berry came up with me and
L left her, and my grip. in Oakland
and came over and walked up to Van
Ness avenue. AS I was about to enter
the house I was stopped by the SOL
diers and asked where I was going. I
told them I was going into my house.
oh, no you're not; We are going
to blow it up
''WeIl, it was my next move and as
they seemed to hold full hand of
shooting irons I passed and told them
to blow it up.
l returned to Oakland and the wife
asked me if I had seen the house I
told her L had, and that the last thing
I saw was the piano going through
the roof. 1t seemed to me that it was
out of tune, shy a few notes. I felt
that I had few that I could have
supplied and wished that they were
with it."-Chronicle, May 9.

UNITED RAILROADS RUNNING
ALL THEIR ELECTRIC LINES

The United Railroads now has in
operation all the electric lines outside
of the burnt district and is operating
on Market and Mission streets in the
devastated section. To meet this bust
mes it has go cars in service
The opening of the lines on Turk,
Eddy and Q Farrell streets on Monday
relieved in a large measure the con
gestion on Fillmore street, as they ear
ried their passengers through without
transfer. So gratifed was the public
with there additional street traffic ac-
cOmmodations that passengers on the
outbound cars eheered and otherwise
gave demonstrations of their approval
all along the route from The ferry to
Devisadero street
The United Railroads now has in its
employ 2200 men. including platform
men on the ears and laborers engaged
in various kinds of employment. Since
1t resumed business it mas paid out
$4,000 in wages, which money has been
brought from New York, thereby in

BODY OF ONE LooTER
FOUND IN THE RUINS

On the body of man found Friday
in the ruins of the California Market
We're found indications that at least
one lOoter had been overcome by his
greed and had persisted in the glow
ing ruins with the goods in his pos
session
Men working at the place came across
the charred body and reported the find
to the Coroner. who sent two of his
deputies with the Morgue wagon to
make an investigation. They found the
corpse, burned past all Identification. It
was not possible TO tell the age of the
man or to approximate his appearance,
but fragments of the clothing showed
that he had been dressed in a black suit
of clothes, a blue sweater with white
stripes, lace shoes, and that he had been
Caucasian
The discriminating evidence consisted
of pockets stuffed with junk of vari-
Gus sorts and probably little value,
looted from the ruins. 1t was surmised
that the man, possessed of the idea
that there was q great wealth of booty
TO be gathered up among the ashes of
buildings deserted by panic-stricken in
mates, had ventured among the charred
walls before the heat and rising gases
made it safe to pursue explorations
there, and that he had so loaded himself
down that on stumbling he could not
regain his feet; or that, possibly, he
had been stifed by fumes and gases,
and fell among the hot embers At any
rate, his fate was sure and quick. and
the evidence of his cupidity remained
when almost all traces of his identity
had disappeared.
1t was supposed at first that the
man was Katz, the butcher, hit the
latter IS accounted for and the finding
of the junk-filled pockets soon made
certain the fact that the man was
looter-and he may have fallen from
q bullet from a santrx s rihe

SMALL POLICY HOLDERS
Will Be PAID FIRST

1t was stated that the question of
what would lie done in the case of
buildings which We're partly destroyed
by the earthquake before the FIRE reach
ed them would have to lie left for
later deliberation and decision
Metson, in summing up, said: S'The
understanding is that the insurance
companies are as much interested as
other concerns in the uphuiIding of San
Francisco, and that they viii pay their
fire losses as quickly as t;.eir men,
working IS ray !ly as possible, can get
them adjusted.
The insurance mon agreed that this
was correct. ''The people of San Fran

MEAL TICKET SYSTEM
TO ELIMINATE REPEATERS

Again it is planned by the meal
ticket system to eliminate the thou
sands of E'repeaters, or members of
the same family who line up at different
relief stations.
D. J. Desmond of Los Angeles, who
holds the contract for supplying the
five experimental stations with meals,
said that he is prepared to live up to
his agreement. It is expected that the
five stations will accommodate from
$4,000 to 10000 people. Rough sheds
will be thrown up with an enormous
seating capacity, where hundreds can
be accommodated at one time The
success of the system in the fifth re-
lief section win result in its extension
to the various other sections.
Numerous anonymous letters have
been received by Chief of Police Oman
relative to the lootiGg of cars bringing
relief supplies to this city for distri-
button by the Army, and Colonel Maus
has made statement that cars bear
ing provisions for the needy here are
being entered en- route and that whole
sale stealing is going on.
He also stated that some of the loot
ing occurred on the ferry-boats trans
porting cars from the Oakland termi-
nus to San Francisco, and that sus-
picion had fallen on many for stealing
from ears at Third and Townsend
streets.
No arrests have been made, but a
general investigation is to be taken up
by the Army that may lead to the cap
ture of the culprits engaged in rifing
the cars.

to him the first donation of $3.50. AL

can thoroughly appreciate the good
and hard work accomplished in this line
by Mr. Fraser.
l have had talk with the japanese
Consul in regard TO the number of Japa-
nese in camp here, and the measures
of relief. etc
There were about ten thousand affect
ed by the disaster, of which about
seven thousand were being taken care
of in camps. There are now in camp
here about seven hundred people, and
a total of about four thousand in the
city. In camps and receiving aid. there
are from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand in Oakland and Berkeley. You
can see by this that several thousand
have gone away from the city. / was
informed that those who had left the
city, had been encouraged to 90 to
places north that had been drawing
some of our labor away. The japanese
here are mostly clerks, house
servants, merchants, and residents of
this city, and there are not many la
borers.
From the foregoing, we thought that
t would not be possible to get any to

numbers to the northwest, will tend to
stay for a while, the departure of la
1orers from Hawaii. The Consul ex-
ended his sincere thanks for the liber-

THE BANKING SITUATION
APPROACHING THE NORMAL

The banking situation approaches
nearer the normal with each day that
passes That there is no money panic
is shown by the fact that the demand
on the commercial banks for emergency
orders for small sums of money to meet
immediate wants has almost ceased,
and one teller at the Clearing house
bank in the Mint is able to pay all
these orders as presented, transact all
new or special business, and have lei
sure beside.
As illustrating the surplus of coin on
hand in the banks, one of the country
banks had $250,000 in currency brought
from the East in a carpet sack think
ing that it might be needed in this
emergency. On Tuesday the bank wired
the money back to New York, as it had
no use for it here.
Some of the banks are attending to
their new or special business them
selves. cashing checks over the coun-
tiers of their temporary headquarters
for the accommodation of their Gus
toners, instead of sending them to the
Clearing house bank in the Mint.
The Bank of California opened its
book vault yesterday and found its con-
tents all right. There is an iron stair
case leading to this vault, which is
closed by single iron door. AS the
fire approached the building the more
important books were placed in the
book vault and others piled on the iron
staircase. When the single door lead
ing to this staircase was opened yes
terday all the books that had been
placed therein were found to be intact
and showed no effects of fire or heat.
AS the coin and security vaults were
much more substantially constructed
and fastened with double steel doors,
no uneasiness is now felt in respect to
the condition of their contents.

PLENTY OF MONEY rs
COMING FROM THE EAST

The transfers of money from the East
to the Sub-Treasury and Mint CON
tinue to be large. Those recently re-
ceived are emergency transfers to cor
porations, firms and individuals.
sSub-Treasurer Jacobs is receiving
United States bonds for cash at the
Mint The method of procedure is for
the Individual bondholder to communi-
cate to the Secretary of the Treasury
in Washington that he wishes TO ex-
change his bonds for cash. The Secre-
tary forwards instructions to. the Sub
Treasurer and the exchange is made.
Superintendent of the Mint Leach is
in receipt of the following telegram
from Secretary of the Treasury Shaw:

duet and that of the men under you.
