FOOD SUPPLY IS
BECOMING SHORT
SAN FRANCISCO SUFFERERS
FACING A FAMINE
Total Of 261,ooo People Call Daily for
rovisions-FIour, Coffee, Pota-
toes and Rice VIII Last
but Ten Days
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May SAN i'm
portant conference, devoted to the
problem of outstanding food supplies,
was held at the Preside today. Among
those in attendance were Gen. Greedy,
Gen. Funston, DIR. Devine and Allen
Pollack.
The situation, as made public dur
ing the committee meeting last Thurs
day, was discussed in all Its details
and all present agreed that rigid econ
omy should be practiced in future dis
tributon. At the conclusion Of the
conference Gen. Greely said:
"The condition of the food supply
will render it possible to issue very
little except flour. which will last ten
days, potatoes, coffee and rice.
Big Appropriation Exhausted
Meat we are buying in small guam
titles. / have been officially notified
that the appropriation of $250O,000 has
been exhausted in the purchase of sup
plies, and L may state that the money
allotted to my use is gone for the same
purpose. 1t has been agreed that the
supplies now on hand must be carefully
husbanded in order that they may be
diverted into the proper channels for
as long period as possible.
I'VE are issuing but two-thirds of
the quantity of food that was dis
tributed prior to the time the regular
army took charge of the system. The
teams engaged in hauling and dis
tributing have been reduced from 500
to 252 in number. The last official re-
port showed that supplies were issued
on Thursday to 261,00O people. 1 hope
that today's report will show rations
issued to less than 100000.
Many "Rereaters" at Food Depots
1.-THE census of each district Is be-
ing carefully computed. am convinced
that there is considerable repeating,
and since thousands of men are report
ed to have obtained employment there
should be a material reduction in the
number of those entitled to relief.
II am willing to put on the screws
and diminish the food supply at any
time, but l shall not take such a step
until am so advised by the commit
tee.
I'VE have recommended the patron
age of cheap restaurants which may
be located in many places throughout
the city and are certain to prosper. BY
furnishing a wholesome meal for 10
cents they will be assured of support
by the working population and will
greatly relieve the situation.

nounced that he would ask the body
for which he spoke to hold the $500, 900
remaining of it's $75OO0O subscription
for the use of the citizens committee.
After the meeting Chairman Phelan
said that the last 100000 of the gov
ernments appropriation of $2,50O, 900
had been expended by the war depart
ment, but that the citizens commit
tee is turning back tents and blankets,
for which there is no further need, and
getting food supplies in return.

OFFICIALS AGREE ON
PUNISHMENT FOR HAZERS
SUPERINTENDENT TO IMPOSE
PENALTIES
Thirty Midshipmen May Be Assigned
Various Unpleasant Duties as a
Result Of Franks In Which Other
Young Men Were Mistreated
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 5.--After con-
sultation between the officials of the
navy department and Admiral Sands,
superintendent of the naval academy,
the fate of thirty midshipmen has now
been settled.
When the hazing investigation was
at it's height the special board ap-
pointed by Admiral Sands collected
midshipmen of which the latter never
knew.
Had the old law remained un-
changed each of the boys would have
been hauled before the court-martial
and If convicted of hazing would have
been dismissed from the academy. The
board worked in secret and consequent
ly none of the boys knew just how
far he had been incriminated by the
testimony being taken from their
ranks.
Causes Youngsters to Worry
Meantime many of the youngsters
lost ground in their studies because of
secret apprehension under which they
suffered.
Now, however, all doubt has been
removed, the law has been applied and
the superintendent has been allowed
to fix the punishment to be meted out
to each of the midshipmen found by
the board to have been implicated in
hazing.
These punishments consist of the inn
position of dement's, of reduction in
classes confinement to the limits of
the reservation and other penalties Of
minor degree, all of which have been
welcomed by the culprits as infinitely
to be preferred to the harsh sentence
of expulsion, which heretofore has
been the only punishment according to
