WORK SUSPENDED
FOR THE SABBATH
Excitement Has Passed in San

Less Confusion.
REST FOR WEARY OFFICIALS
PLANS ARE ASSUMING TANGIBLE
FORM.

San Francisco. April 29.-The second
Sabbath since the fatefuI April Is has
served as a clearing house in the affairs
of this ruined city. While the Old-time
quietude is missing, the day has wit
messed less Of the excitement, confusion
and clamor of its immediate predeces-
sors, and the community at large has
been enabled to make a caImer. survey of
the situation and to enter into more in
teiIgent and rational preparation for the
future.
All possible work of d municipal char
acter was suspended for the day and the
tired officials who for nearly two weeks
have labored necessarily with little sleep
TO bring a semblance of order out of
chaotic conditions. took advantage of the
Iuu to secure greatly needed rest and to
pay some attention to pressing personal
needs
With the advent Of the Sabbath came
al opportunity to review the tremendous
accomplishments of the past eleven DAYS
to provide remedies for defects in the
task of equality and judiciously caring
Tor all classes of the destitute irrespec-
i've of race or creed. Plans for solving
the tremendous financial problems that
confront the city began today to assume
tangible form, and the Sunday closed
with the brightest prospect that has
raced San Francisco since three-f0urths
OF its terri tory was laid waste

SAN FRANCISCO
IN NEED OF CASH
Heavy Demands Upon the FL
nance Committee Cannot
Long Be Met.

San Francisco, April 29.-James d. Phe-
Ian, chairman of the municipal finance
committee, today gave the following
statement to the Associated Press:
The demands upon the finance COM
mittee are very great and we do not see
how we can meet them if the present
conditions continue There is no money
in the community in circulation. The
banks are closed because they dare not
open their heated vaults, and when they
do open them they will probably pay out
slowly as they realize upon their assets.
They expect next week to cash the checks
of we'll known customers to the extent
of $500 each. That measure will help in
a small degree the resumption of bust
ness. There is a sufficient food supply
in sight for the present. But the great
problem for us is how to provide for the
absolutely destitute, for the sick, the old,
the children and all other dependent per-

Means Absolutely Cut OFF.

THE means o. support of the hospi-
tails, orphanages, religious and charitable
associations of ali kinds are absolutely
cut off The local Red Cross esti-
mates that 1000 per day is
necessary for the hospitals. To set these
institutions on their feet will be the
work of years, because the local people
are unequal to the task of supporting
such institutions and at the same time
meeting the demands of their own house
holds and business, and the necessary re-
building of stores and homes, and ordi-
nary taxationS for public purposes. We
are formulating a plan to present to our
committee by which money or credit can
be secured for the rehabilitation of our
workers, our institutions and the rebuild
ing of our city. Everybody is willing to
work and to make necessary sacrifices if
the tools, as Il were, are put into their
hands to re-eStablSh the social. economic
and commercial conditions which pre-
rrai1ed hefnra the fire

Waste viii Be Impossible.

Probably the most important develop
ment of the day was the PRONUNCIATION by
General Greedy Of his plan for the distri-
button of relief supplies Reports of theft
deception, misrepresentation, waste and
extravaganza have been constantly re-
celVed since provisions and clothing be
gan pouring in to SuccOr the afflicted
and II is now believed that misuse of sup
plies VIII hereafter be impossible. In the
HrSt days of the fire little or no attempt
was made to keep check on fOOdStuffs
the main idea being to provide against
want, and II was natural under this
eXcusable haphaZard order of affairs that
many abuses should arise But even when
the lines were more tightly drawn un-
scrupulOuS persons continued to take ad-
vantage of the general distress and Il
was then realized that the salvation of
the situation rested with the army. So
the officials of this branch of the fed
eraI government were called upon to en-
sage IN an unprecedented service. That
success Will doubtless meet their efforts
may be inferred from the completeness
of the plan of General Greedy The In-
burned part of the city will be divided
into seven districts in charge Of army
officers, who will assume control of all
the relief stations now established
