E. Z Morris, who was an APP
plicant for the Office Of district att
torney, was in the city yesterday
on his way home to Ryan from
Washington and he now joins the
ranks of the "alse ran" which Is
quite numerous at the present in
the southern district. During the
latter part of the contest Morris
and his friends put up strong
fight and came very near captur-
ing the prize. No charges we're
made against Mr.. Morris and he
had vast number of endorsements
from the best people in the dis
tricI
Last Wednesday Morris called
at the Department of Justice aud
was told by the appointing clerk
that he was in sight of the golden
gate he was practically assured Of
the appointment, but presto, Secre-
tary Taft appeared on the scene,
and mentioned his friend Walker
"of South McAlester' and every.
thing was changed. Walker re.
ceived the appointment on the per
sonal recommendation of Secretary
Taft. Although he is credited t
South McAlester, he halls from
Ohio via Chicago and is scarcely
known in that city.
Mr.. Morris is not sangiune ovel

BAbcock Denies that his Followers are

Washington, Jan. 2I.-The
house managers announced yester-
day that they will be ready to meet
the insurgents early next week on
the statehood bill, and will not
shrink from the threat Of defeat,
believing that the opposition has
made radical miscalculation and
will itself be swept to defeat by q
substantial majority for the commit
tee measure generally known as
the Hamilton bill. The measure
is to be reported out Of committee
on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the
rule will be reported providing for
its passage without amendments
aud with only two hours debate.
Mr.. Cannon and his lieutenants
believe that the insurgents have
been slowly going TO pieces, and
that the usual thing will happen
when there is so mach outcry
against an administration measure.
Besides time remains to pick off an
additional number of insurrection-
lists between now aud Wednesday

that the house managers have

Corrugated iron is decided Improvement over
the sidewalk restaurant. San Francisco is in the
corrugated iron now, and welcomes the change.
On all sides temporary structures, some occupying
thousands of square feet, have been erected to
meet the immediate demands of merchant and
manufacturer. They have come upon the scene
with the magic quickness that marked the advent
of the useful sidewalk restaurant And like the
sidewalk restaurant they have their part to do in

THE MIRACLE AT RUSSIAN HILL.
By Franklin Hichbom.

were beginning to steam and smoke.
To touch the side OF one of their
buildings facing Greenwich street was
to scorch the hand They had no water
In the emergency one man remem-
bered that he had barrel OF vinegar.
1t was the only liquid IN the block
Somebody suggested that salt would
put out fire. The barrel of vinegar
was rolled out on the sidewalk and
the blocks supply of salt dumped into
It. Men gave their coats and women
tore off their skirts to be dipped into
that salt and vinegar and hung upon
the walls and roofs as shields against
the flames of the blazing houses sixty
feet away.
Thus. in the midst of fire. these peo-
pie fought for hours. Men had their
boards singed TO the face. Women lost
their eyelashes and their eyebrows.
But none faltered; none hesitated. The
raging mass of flames threatened to
cross Greenwich street ct twenty
places. Roofs did catch repeatedly,
but a liberal use of salt and vinegar
saved them in some places. in others
the blazing shingles had to be torn
away. In the midst of it somebody
started the cry:
The soldiers are comingr'
Then from the roofs came the growl:
ITO Ii with the soIdiersr"
But the soldiers did not come. and
the home-owners fought on and on
and on, until. after hours. the last
house of the blazing block across
Greenwich street fell. The block
bounded by Greenwich. Larkin. Polk
and Lombard streets was saved The
homes were scorched. bIistered, black
and women wept and sank exhausted
But the hearts OF all were filled with
great thankfulness.
Such Is the story or the apparent
miracle at Russian HILL 1t isn't much
of a miracle after ALL Men and women
merely fought instinctively for their
homes: fought like wild animals, Wild
animals lighting for their cubs II is
the same instinct. the instinct that

Men have told me that when the
fire was sweeping the rented fiat dis
trict they saw hundreds watching the
flames without lifting a finger to stay
their course The houses are not ours
they said In some instances the SOL
diers drove these idle ones at the point
OF the bayonet to the roofs to fight
the flames.
But out In the favored block on Rus
sian Hill the houses were our houses"
Bayonets were not required to drive
the home-owners to the roofs; bayo-
nets could not keep them on the roofs.
And IN this connection the thought
naturally comes to mind. had the peo-
pie been called upon during those dark
days OF April to fight an invading
army instead Of mastering flames,
which would have met the foe with
stouter heart. with greater incentive
to die lighting IL necessary. those in

COMMON SENSE RELIEF.

Those in charge Of relief work are considering
plans to make the people in the camps self-sup-
porting. 1t is proposed to get those made dest-
tute by the calamity back into ganful occupations
to make them independent producers as they were
before the fire. When it is evident that ind-
viduals can help themselves they are to be given
assistance. To start them in housekeeping it is
proposed to pay the first months rent, if necessary
to give them a little furniture. Mechanics under
the proposed plan, will be given tools; small
traders will be given as much of start as is found
practicable.
1t is hoped that some such plan will be found
feasible. visit to any of the camps will convince
the observer that the bread line and free soup ar
rangement is greater drawback than assistance
to the capable and worthy. The time wasted
in running about after meal tickets and requisi-
tions, the standing in line for chance get into
a not overclean soup kitchen, the observance Of
weary routine and red tape provisions, make these
people feel dependence which is just the thing
that should be avoided The campers are not
paupers and anything that tends to pauperize them
is an outrage The worthy man is the self-respect-
ing man, and self-respect does not flourish under
the soup kitchen system of distributing supplies.
In dealing with the inmates of the camps the
only course to follow is to make them feel what
they are men and women who have suffered in
common with thousands of others, overwhelming
disaster, and to help them recover their lost
ground, not charity, but as privilege to which
the whole world has responded. Free distribution
OF questionable soup isn't going to do this And
besides, it gets nowhere and it pauperizes But
any expenditure that will get family back under
its roof or restore to the ranks of those
engaged in gainful occupations is along the right
line. Money thus spent, if spent judiciously, will
be money well spent.
