MoRTUARY CLERK WILL
ENFORCE BURIAL LAWS
Great Difficulty is Experienced in Com.
plling Correct List Of Vic
Tins of Disaster.

Mortuary Clerk Percy r. Hennessey
Is enforcing the order requiring that
all burial certificates be made out in
proper form. Since the days of the
disaster the confusion has been great
and bodies have been disposed of
without the necessary process of law.
Clerk Hennessy, in consequence of
this condition, has had much difficulty
in keeping his records straight for the
Board of Health. Since the morning
OF the earthquake he has receivid
records of only 102 deaths, and it will
require six weeks time to make out a
full list of the dead.
Yesterday several of the cemetery
associations turned in list Of per-
sons buried on their property and to-
day a list Of nearly 200 burials will
come from Laurel Hill Cemetery. The
military and the Morgue authorities
are giving every assistance, but as
their records are incomplete the task
viii be heavy one.

STATUE or MCKINLEY
SAVED FROM THE FLAMES
Workmen Drag It From Burning
Foundry and 1t Is Now In
stalled at Arcata,

Haig Patigan. the sculptor, has re-
turned from Arcata, where, after
much vicissitude, he had the pleasure
of witnessing the installation OF a
statue of President William McKin-
ley, the work of his hands, which had
passed scratches through the fire.
Several months ago Patigan was
commissioned to design the statue.
He completed his model and after &C.
ceptance it was sent to Main-street
foundry to be cast. Tie finished
bronze was completed and was stored
awaiting shipment when the earth
quake and fire followed that destroyed
the building in which the sculptor's S
work had been standing.
.Patigan began what he believed
would be a fruitless search In the
ruins OF the Main-street shop for the
treasure. He sought among the de-
bris and, strangely enough, the hunt
was rewarded Lying in the street
beneath bricks and a mass of rubbish
Patigan unearthed the statue 1t had
been dragged out of the building early
during the day and left unguarded and
unprotected. The sculptor, upon re-
covering the statue, found. after ex-
animation, that 1t was practically in
tact. Such external treatment as it
required was given and in \ few days
the work of art was ready for deliy-
cry.
With Joyous heart Patigan arranged
for shipment of the statue to Arcata,
and he had the satisfaction of seeing
it in imposing position, despite the
narrow escape from destruction In the
calamity OF April is.

MANY INDUSTRIES
ARE THRIVING IN
POTRERO DISTRICT
Sugar Refinery Is
Running Night
and Day.
Railroads RuShinQ
Work in Every
Section.

Business activity has been resumed
once again in the Potrero District.
Though the earthquake did consider
able damage to portion Of the resi-
dence district there the manufactur-
ing section was practically uninjured
and such concerns as the great sugar
refinery and the Roster barrel factory
are running full blast, with all the
working men they can find and all
the material required IN sight.
1t was at first feared that the big
factories In the Potrero were badly
shaken and crippled by the shock and
that operations would have TO be sus-
pended for some months at least.
News from this section of the town
did not travel with the rapidity that
prevailed iu other sections and the
public was kept in ignorance of con-
ditions for several days, though busi-
ness was progressing in the meantime.
The big Spreckels sugar refinery
escaped without a blemish. The huge
nine-story brick building, one OF the
principal structures belonging to the
great plant, stands today just as 1t
did month ago. A thorough inspec-
tion failed to reveal a cents worth
OF damage there and the building was
Immediately pronounced ready for oc-
cupancy.
The sugar refinery has been run
ming right along. The force of work
ing men was added to as the days
rolled by and yesterday it was an
nounced that every man was back at
his post. The refinery is running day
and night, turning out more sugar
than is the custom at this time of the
year. The cars OF the railroad com
pany are kept busy hauling away the
sugar and bringing in the material
and several boats at the wharf are
taxed to their utmost capacity in
handling the output of sugar that is
being turned out daily.
The same condition of affairs pre-
walls at the large cooperage works
of the Roster company Here the en-
Hployes are kept busy day and night.
! This plant, like, the sugar refinery,
escaped with little or no damage. The
orders are fast rushing in to the com
pany, hence the large force of men at
work.
The many tanneries IN the district
are also doing business at the same
old stands. None Of these seemed tc

send there Is a continual string OF
teams and wagons of every kind and
description all day long. The freight
handlers at the sheds complain that
the teams cannot handle the large
shipments that are arriving every
hour. but this is due to the fact tina,
the streets leading to the depot are
so congested that traffic is seriously

the amount of $1,000; the college of
medicine but slightly While it will cost
$1,000 to repair the eastern building.
The Mark Hopkins Institute is a total
loss, with the exception of some 500

mated to the university by Mrs Hearst.
