HOPE: FOR AID
OF CONGRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The
plan by which the federal govern
ment may lend credit for the re-
building Of the city still has strong
suggestions. At a conference last
night General Greeley, Secretary
Metcalf, Mayor Schmitz, ex-Mayor
Phelan and Doctor Devine, a plan
to present in detail to Metcalf an
order for the secretary to lay be-
fore the president upon his return
to Washington.
On an unaided credit letter, San
Francisco in Is or more years will
rebuild with the government aid in
quarter of that time. While there
will probably be much opposition In
Washington, supporters of the plan
are determined to secure a fair
hearing before congress. They are
hopeful the desired aid may be Sc
cured.

body cruelty told her that it was
useless for her to seek assistance
from her husbands Iuion, as it was
broke. Then the poor woma,,
heartbroken and not knowing what
to do, went back to her home and
commenced ministering to her hus-
bands wants as best she could.
While she labored and fought the
fever, she waited and prayed that
someone would come to her aid.
She had no money to hire phys'
clan and no one undertook to cal
one. The cowardly whelp who lied
to her about her hus bands union
never seemed to give the matter
another thought. Anyway, the Fed
eral union did not learn Of the
mans condition until 1t was ito
late. During her % days vigil,
Mrs. Baumgard kept body and soul
of life out of money hard earned
by taking in little washing. The
Federal union officials are investi-
eating.
The funeral will be held Sunday
from the undertaking parlors of
Buchanan & Co.. under the aus
pieces of the Federal union.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-No
disorder SO far has attended the
opening of the clearing house bank
for the limited payment OF bank
depositors. Every confidence is
shown in the stability Of the banks
and the indication of a run when
the individual banks resume busi-

ored in the sums of $500 to meet
immediate needs.
An order of Mayor Schmitz per-

Cutting Off the provisions from

days without once having oppor-

tossing about in delerium of

she toiled unremittingly and did
