This applica tion for radical measures has been
filed in an official report made by Colonel s c.
Mills, of the inspector generals department and
the inspector general of the Division OF the At

There has been more or less friction between
the quartermaster general and the army in

WHEELER
ON SAN FRANCISCO
SUGGESTS THE CITY BEGIN TO
REBUILD ITSELF
Finds Eastern Opinion Firmly Estab-
lished That San Francisco Can
Scarcely Be Rebuilt in the Near
Future
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BERKELEY, Cal, July 9.-President
Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the univer-
sity today made the following state
ment regarding his trip east. His re-
marks concerning San Francisco are
especially significant. Mr.. Wheeler
says:
Il have spent seventeen nights in
sleeping cars since / left California,
about four weeks ago. l attended the
Columbia commencement and the COM
mencement at my alma mater, Brown
university, visited Boston. interviewing
some candidates for positions here. The
teachers of Boston, through Principal
Wallace c. Boyden Of the Boston Nor
NAL school, placed in my hands $207S.9O
to be used for the aid of teachers in
San Francisco brought into distress
through the fire. was twice in Wash
ington in the interests of the proposed
legislation for the relief of San Fran
cisco. 1 made a trip to Indianapolis
to lecture before the Irvington Athe-
naeum. 1 spoke on the subject, San
Francisco and Its Future treating the
subject in the light of the geographic
position of the city and the character
of it's people. I spoke on similar
lODlC also at AOluIIlDld SHY at
the alumni gathering commencement
afternoon.
1--WE found in Washington disinclina-
ton on the part of congress to legis-
late specifically regarding San Fran
cisco. Men, 1 think, were afraid of the
precedent: that might be involved. The
plan which was finally worked out
whereby relief is to be given through
the secretary of the treasury seemed to
me good. There Is the warmest possible
sympathy with the city and state In
its distress. l must confess that
throughout the east 1 found the full
and esta blished opinion that San Fran
cisco could scarcely be rebuilt, at least
in the near future. Every one admires
the pluck of the San Franciscans, but
is inclined to believe that 1T is mostly
pluck without much hope of realization.
Every one asks: Have they really
started in any permanent building?'
What are they really doing to show
that the city is to be rebuiltT / think
that 1t is very desirable that out of its
resources San Francisco should make
beginning. The men who have been
trying to induce Wall street to make
the beginning have found grave diff
culties confronting them.
1.-THE appointment of Professor Elmer
e. Brown as United States commits
sioner of education in succession ia
Dr. w. T. Harris is certainly compli-
ment to California. That the head OF
the federal system of education should
be chosen from California would seem
to intimate that something has been
going on in California that can fairly
be recognized as Of the standard variety
of education. DR.. Brown was appointed
simply because the place came to him
by a sort of natural right. He is the
one man who has given the most special
attention to the history of the develop
ment of American education. He Is a
great loss to the university and the
state-to the state particularly In his
connection with the state board of edu-
cation"

By Associated -'ress.
CHICAGO, July 9.-The retail dry
goods store of Marshall Field & Co. was
closed to the public today by Building

ence regarding the placing of stairs in
the store Cor tie purpose Of making
exits. This morning when the commits
sioner became aware that the work had
police officers to be ;tatiohed at all
doors of the place and allowed nobody
but employees to enter
Manager Simmons, as soon as he was
aware that all the customers we're being
turned back at the entrances, hastened
to the building commissioner.
81 have repeatedly called attention to
this matter" said the o1mmissioner,
"and If you are not man enough to pro-
tect the lives Of your patrons you ought
to be in jail"
Mr. Simmons then called upon the
mayor, who said that the building COM
missioner had been too drastic and that
he should have proceeded against the
management of the store through the
courts
The store was allowed to open, and
Commissioner Bartzen declared that he
would take out warrants for its man
ayers.

TWO MEN BATTLE IN MIDAIR
Desperate Struggle on Narrow Scat
fold Awes All Behoders-One
Wounds Opponent
Special to The Herald.


CINCINNATI, o., July 9-The spec
tacle or two men locked in a desperate
struggle on a narrow scaffold swung
at the level of the seventh story, at
tracted a great throng in front of the
diminished Stinton hotel building al
Fourth and Vine streets this afternoon.
EVERY second it looked .as if one or
both Of the men would be pitched TO
destruction, as several times their feet
hung over. They fought back and forth
along the wall for several minutes
until one was seen to pull his knife
and open 1t with his teeth. He dis
apled his opponent with it by inflict-
ing a vicious cash across the arm. The
cutting put an end to the struggle.
The wounded man, Joseph Connelly.
a brickayer, said that he reprimanded
MS adversary, Hugh Williams, a nod
carrier, for carelessness in dumping his
load of bricks. He threw them down
so heavily he feared the jar would
cause the planking to give way and
send them both to their death. The
reprimand led to a wordy altercation.
then an exchange of blows and the
man-to-man struggle.
Williams was arrested on a charge
OF cutting and Connolly was taken TO
the city hospital.
