GIRLS PERISH
IN A BAKERY
Buried Under the Ruins of a
Big Sixth-Street
Store.

Three young saleswomen, Annie
Baumeister, IA years OF age; Pauline
Book. 16 years OF age. and vefonica
Finley, Is years OF age were asleep IN
the rear of Prost's bakery. at 7s4 Sixth
street. when the earthquake caused
the building to collapse. The remains
of the first two girls were recovered
by relatives yesterday. and II is be-
lieved that the body Of Miss Finley is
still in the ruins, though a statement
was made that she was carried out
dead before the IRE consumed the
wreckage.
It was the duty Of the girls to open
the bakery 1T an early hour, and the
shock came just before their time to
arise. When anxious relatives reach
ed the bakery the FIRE was very close
and the police held them back.
Yesterday John Baumeister, brother
OF Annie. and I'D lie Book, brother Of
Pauline. visited the site Of the former
bakery and found the remains Of their
sisters. Regarding Mtss Finley. young
Baumststsr say that bystanders told
him on the morning of the earthquake
that the dead body Of q girl had been
carried from the wrecked building be-
fore 1t was totally destroyed by fire.
The Morgue officials spent some time
yesterday afternoon searching the
ruins on Geary street, near Powell, in
search of bodies. The police were no.
titled that a man and a girl had met
death In a building at This place, but
the search for their bodies was un-
successful. -.

Noted Architect viii
Assist Committees
Today.
Grade at Montgomery
and California Streets
to B, Raised.
Of RincOn Hill
Another Project Be-
inq Considered.

D. II. Burnham, the noted architect,
Is to appear today before the members
Of the committees that have been de-
plans for the Identification Of the city.
The committees IN question are those
on the Burnham plans. parks and res
ervoirs and the widening. extending
and grading of the streets. They have
been meeting daily and have made
much progress with the important
work before them.
Burnham was invited to come to the
city and give such advice and sug-
gestions as he considered advisable un-
der the extraordinary conditions. The
famous architect gladly wired that he
would hurry to the city, and his COM
ing has been eagerly awaited.
At yesterdays meeting OF the COM
mittee on widening, extending and
grading the streets, Willis Polk said
that Durham was coming to devote
himself to committee work, and would
place himself entirely at the disposal
OF the city The Burnham plans com
mittee was invited to meet Jointly to-
day with the committee on the widen
ing OF the streets, and at this meeting
1t Is expected to have Durham pres
emit.
Marsden Manson suggested to the
committee the Importance of raising
the grade at the junction Of Jackson
and Kearny streets. City Engineer
Woodward thought the grade on Mont
gomery, beginning at Bush and extend
ing to Jackson, should be raised about
eight feet. After some discussion It
was decided as the sense Of the COM
mittee that the grade at the corner of
California and Mont cfraatS
should be raised eight feet. This, If
done, will benefit all the streets from
Montgomery easterly to the bay. 1t
will give the streets proper drainage,
which they now lack, and also i'm
measurably benefit the sewer system.
Chairman Law introduced the mat
ter OF improving the Chinatown dis
trict, and asked City Engineer Wood
ward to prepare a map on sanitary
lines, accessibility, etc.

Members Who Have Trades VIII Tenn
porariIy Leave the Department.
The pay roll Of the Fire Department
will be cut several thousand dollars
this month by the voluntary action Of
q number OF its members. At a re-
cent meeting Of the Commissioners the
battalion chiefs were instructed to
grant leaves Of absence TO hremen who
had trades and who could find outside
work. Many OF the men have taken
advantage Of this and the necessity Of
laying off men was avoided for the
present at least. No vacations will
be granted to either officers or men
during this year.
According to q report made to the
Commissioners the loss to the depart
ment shop equipment was about
s73,Sos. It will require $4,000 to re-
pair fire hydrants. and $3.50 to repair
engines. Three engines, a hook and
ladder, a water battery and four au-
tomobilss were destroyed, as was a, 500
feet OF hose.

June Il to be Celebrated by
Raising Flag Over Every
Building.

The first general celebration of
Flag Day." which this year falls on
Thursday. June IA, held in Grand
Forks, it has been decided will be next
week.
At Monday mornings meeting of the
city council Alderman Willis A. Joy
called the attention Of his colleagues
to the fact that the day was recog-
nized everywhere in the east as being
of an Importance, second only to July
4, Independence day, and that we of
the west have been behind in this re-
gard. The speaker supplemented his
remarks with'a suggestion that Mayor
Duis issue proclamation to the citi-
zens of this city just prior to June a.,
asking that the day be properly OBJ
served and that the American flag, the
emblem of freedom for which our
fathers fought and died, be hung to
the breeze from every public building
and every private house top.
Respect for the flag should be taught
every child and adult in the land and
Flag Day when properly observed will
do much along that line.
Mayor Duis will issue his proclama-
ton in few days.

New President.

Last night at the university the
Fortnightly club held its last meeting
of the year with over sixty members
and their ladies in attendance. Sup
per was served in the east dining room
of Davis hall at $3.50, this being some
what of an innovation as the program
has always preceded it in the past.
In the regular business meeting af-
terward the following officers were
elected: Vernon P. Squires, president:
Rev. ]. X. Burleson. vice president:
Geo. F. Rich. secretary; John W..
Ogren, treasurer.
On motion of Professor Brannon a
resolution expressive of regret at the
departure from the state of Rev. Hays
was adopted. Rev. Hays might be
called the father of the club for it
was by his efforts that the organiza-
ton was started.
The chief number on the program
followed. It was the reading of paper
by Judge c. F.. Templeton on "The
Three Great Poets. Longfellow, Bryant
and Whittier" The paper was one
of the finest treats that the members
of the club have ever had the pleasure
of hearing.

COST S97,497
That's the Amount it Would
Take to Rid City of Dande-
lion Pest at the Rate.

BY the use of arithmetic and an up
to-date comptometer a local business
man has figured it out. that at the
present market quotation of II cent
pound, it would take six months and
cost $97,497 to clear the residence
streets of the city of dandelions. In
other words that the 10000 pounds
picked by small boys in the past three
days is about one-twenty-two hundred
and twentyfourth part of the total
amount that would have to be picked
you see that son of mine." said
another man. well, that boy has put
in from six to twelve hours a day for
the past three days collecting dande-
lions. Yesterday he weighed in and
found that he had 1877 pounds. Was
he proud? we'll guess, but this morn
ing the happiness had fled. He was
enough of an arithmetician to figure
out that at the rate of II cent a
pound, his 1877 pounds would get him
the enormous amount Of &c 60 cents,
representing about twenty hours of the
hardest kind of work. He says mo
more dandelion picking for me, pa
and / don't blame him."

A Muddled Case.

Yesterday in the district court the
Luck case from this city was given
an airing. This case was appealed
to the supreme court, and because
City Attorney Collins was employed
on the side Of Luck, the city which
Is the defendant, employed Massee &
Finlayson to prepare the supreme
court brief. The case was decided in
the supreme court March / and it
seems that the city attorney never
reported the matter to the city coun-
Gil and that a notice for retrial was
served upon some city Official, though
who 1t can not be learned. Massee &
Finlayson had nothing to do in the
case after preparing and submitting
the supreme court brief. and the city
came near having no attorney when
the case was called.

STICK ON RATE
Council and E. L. Healy Have
Hard Time to Agree on
Maximum Rate.

After being in session all day Tues
day considering the proposed fran
chise to be granted e. L. Healy of
Red Lake Falls for the conveyance
to and sale of electric power in this
city, an adjournment was taken with
out any definite action being taken.
The question of the maximum rate
to be charged seems to be the main
sticker, as was stated in these columns
last evening. The question was thor
oughly debated and it was finally de-
termined to let the matter go over till
next Monday evening by which time
it is expected committee will be able
to draft franchise which it is ex-
pected will meet with the favor of
both promoters and city council. The
latter, while DESTROYS of having Mr..
Healy go through with his project, are
determined that before a franchise
shall be granted. the city shall have
a safeguard as to the rates which
citizens shall be charged,
