($1OO, COO was made available for the pur-
chase installation and maintenance of wa

the meters are installed.
Mr.. Wallace says that In the estimates

on account of the increase of the business of

FACULTY OF THEOLOGICAL
SEMINARY MAKES STATEMENT
Several Buildings Damaged, but the
Work Will Go on Vigorously

Several Buildings Damaged, but the
Work Will Go on Vigorously
Next Fall.
The faculty Of the San Francisco Theo-
logical Seminary has issued statement
to the friends Of the Seminary which, in
part, is as follows:
tIt is true that In the recent disaster
we have lost heavily. Montgomery Hall
has been injured; Scott Hall is almost
a ruin. Our endowment too is sadly i'm
paired.
"But we have suffered no loss which
will prevent US from going vigorously
forward with the regular work Of tho
Seminary. At the time of re-opening in
the Fall we will be fully prepared to
enter with the utmost efficiency upon the
duties of the year.
'tThis does not mean that the profes-
sors and officers of the Seminary will
not suffer in consequence Of the general
loss. They will suffer. And they are
willing to suffer, because they believe as
firmly as ever in the future of the State
Of California, and in the future Of our
beloved Seminary. They intend to re-
main steadfast in their service to the
Seminary, because they believe that in
building it up they are building up this
State III righteousness and faith.

BECOMES OFFICIAL MORMON
REPRESENTATiv IN CITY
Colonel Isaac Trumbo's Home Is the

Colonel Isaac Trumbo's Homo Is the
Center Of Much Relief Work
for Sufferers.
Colonel Isaac Trumbo has become the
Mormon representative in San Francisco.
The fire was the immediate cause of the
bestowal of this honor. When Salt Lake
heard of San Francisco's difficulties, the
leading members of the Mormon church
telegraphed to Trumbo in reference to
conditions. He replied that thousands
were homeless and needed food and cloth
ing. The response came in the shape of
twenty-six carloads Of very welcome sup
plies.
The Trumbo home at the corner of Sut-
ter and Octavia streets has been sup
ply station ever since. The Colonel asked
to be relieved of his big task, but was
not permitted to resign. Rabbi Voor-
sanger of the Relief Committee looks
upon Trumbo as one Of his ablest assist
ants
When the great fire had crossed Van
Ness avenue, Trumbo deliberated over
the situation for little while and came
to the conclusion that he was about to
be made homeless. He received notice
from the soldiers that his house would
be dynamited in thirty minutes. He then
invited everyone to enter and take away
food and clothing. The collection of
paintings was removed to the Preside
unharmed. The building was neither dy-
namited nor burned. The recipients of
Trumbo's generosity managed to take
with them miscellaneous property worth
approximately $4,000. The Colonel
says he is glad to be alive and doesn t
mourn his loss a particle

BERKELEY, May 13. - Egbert

to fix that all up." He rented large

today entirely destitute of counsel, having

Following this advice he retained c. A.

for him. Edwards sits behind his lawyer,
however. and his interest in the case moro
resembles that Of associate counsel than
defendant. He is keenly alive to every sit
uation and the portent Of every question
and frequently prompts his attorney. He Is
neatly. though not gaudily attired, and is
quite prepossessing in appearance.
