 San Francisco, April 25.-Another earthquake shock at S:15 this afternoon toppled over several tottering building walls and cracked chimneys left by the severe shock of last Wednesday and the fire that followed. The shock was not severe, but the partly wrecked con- dition of walls and chimneys resulted in the upsetting of some masonry. The shock was barely perceptible in Oak land and vicinity and was not felt far from San Francisco, according to re- ports received tonight.
 It caused the death of Mrs. Annie Whitaker, aged twenty-five years. Mrs. Whitaker was at work in the kitchen of her home on Shotwell street, in the mission district, when the shock came. The chimney, which had been left in tottering condition by the heavy quake last Wednesday, crashed through the roof and fractured her skull. Her body was taken to the morgue at Portsmouth square and buried an hour later at Laurel Hill cemetery.
 The shock caused considerable alarm among the people but as it passed with out serious damage they soon regained their composure. It lasted about a min ute.
 That San Francisco is to be rebuilt on better and more beautiful lines is in- dicated by the fact that James D. Phe- Ian, chairman of the Improvement as- sociation of San Francisco, yesterday dispatched telegrams to Architect Dan- iel V. Durham and his assistant, MT. Bennett, of Chicago, to come imrnedi- ately to San Francisco 10 take up the work planned some two years ago, Burnham and Bennett are the origin ators of plans to beautify San Francis co. and the committee does not want to take any final steps until it has a con- f ference with them.
 MT. Burnhams plans call for recon struction similar to the city of Paris Former Chief of Police Whitman re- porting on the assumption of retail business, to-day said that he had in lduced the following stores to reopen: Groceries, 27; butcher markets, ii; creameries, il; bakeries, g; restaurants, The number of each of these will be largely augmented in the course of a few days A committee has fixed max dmum retail prices.

 The finance committee can use the
 
 Tinted States mint at San Francisco as a. depository for relief funds until the sub-treasury opens, and thereafter can nse the sub-treasury until the banks open. They should withdraw funds from the Repositories in sums of not less than a thousand dollars, as the government offices in San Francisco are not equipped to do banking business Please consult as to details of arrange ments with the superintendent of the mint at San Francisco. Secretary Shaw will immediately wire suitable instruc- tions to the superintendent of the mint and the assistant treasurer. Authority is especially given to the secretary of war to disburse the congressional ap- nronriation amounting altogether to $2,- 60O,000.
