Market to Pacific: that Sansome street
be widened to 100 feet from Pacific TO
the water front, and that the grade
be lowered, so as to be uniform
throughout; that Dupont be widened
from Bush street to Montgomery ave-
nue to "A feet, the present width Of
Grant avenue.
In order to make the grade practical
70 Market from Van Ness avenue the
committee will recommend that the
grade on Golden Gate avenue be low
cred from Taylor to Hyde; also that
the grade on Van Ness avenue be
changed so as to be uniform, and that
it is deemed expedient to lower the
grade on Market street from Valencia
TO Sixteenth.
The committee, believing that some
thing should be done to relieve the
street congestion at the foot of Market
street, will urge that a block of land
be taken in that vicinity. The limits
of this block will be more accurately
defined hereafter.
There was some discussion as to the
Ol NIL SlICCb anu van
Ness avenue, but it was considered adj
visable to keep them at their present
width. It was the opinion of the COM
mittee that Van Ness avenue should
be declared j fire limit from Pacific
to Mission by extension.
The matter of changing the streets
in the Chinatown district was also
discussed. Chairman Law expressed
the opinion that the blind alleys should
be eliminated and that the streets
should be widened and made as attrac-
tive as any other section of the city.
At his suggestion City Engineer Wood
ward was requested to make a map Of
the district. showing advisable changes,
and this will be ready for the COM
mittee at its next meeting, which will
take place next Monday afternoon
Among other things the committee
viii urge is that Pacific street through
out IFS entire length shall be changed
to Pacific avenue and that Fremont
street and Montgomery avenue shall
he known as Fremont avenue; also
that the name of Dupont street shall
no longer be used, and in its stead the
entire street .rom Market shall be
called Grant avenue.

BRAVE WOMEN
STOP A BLAZE
Severely Burned While Fight
ing Fire After Lamp
Explosion.
Succeed in Extinguishing
Flames Before Depart :
ment Arrives.

OAKLAND, May 1s.-Surrounded by
names that were ignited through the
explosion of q coal Oil lamp In bath
room, Mrs. Oscar Graham and Mrs.
James Hackett fearlessiy fought the
consuming element last night In the
mousse occupied by them at 572 Eight
eentn street and subdeud the fire, but
not before both of the heroines were
severely scared.
Mrs. Hackett was burned on the
hands and arms, her eyebrows and eye
lashes were singed and some OF her
hafr went up in smoke. Mrs. Graham
was more fortunate and escaped with
minor burns on the hands
Although the plucky women did not
observe 1t at the time, there was q
hye- gallon can of coal oil on a shelf In
the bathroom and so fierce was the
heat from the fire that the paper label
on the can was burned, but the liquid
failed to explode.
The explosion of the lamp followed
an effort made by Mrs Hackett to
extingufsh 1t after a defective burner
had permitted the wick flame to enter
the bowl of the lamp. Mrs. Hackett at
first endeavored to put out the sfire
alone and when she saw that The
flames were spreading she screamed
for help. Mrs Graham hurried to her
aid and while both of the women were
beating out the flames a telephone call
for the Fire Department was sent in.
When the f1remen and their apparatus
arrived there was nothing for tffsnta to
do, as the. fair fire-f1ghters had con-
quered the blaze.
Mrs. Graham is the wife Of Oscar
Graham,-- the we'll known baseball
pitcher, who for several seasons twirled
the sphere for the. Oakland team.

MASONS READY
TO GIVE HELP
Urge the Insurance Companies
to Settle With Small
Manufacturers.
Prompt Attention to This Matter
viii Give Employment
to Hundreds.

There was largely attended meet
of representatives of all branches OF the
Masonic fraternity, in response to a
call issued by W. Frank Pierce, chair
man OF the general relief committee.
Several hundred gathered in Eastern
Hall. and about 800 were unable to gain
admission. The meeting was called to
order by the chairman. Douglass E.
Young was appointed secretary.
The object of the meeting was ex-
planned TO be the devising of ways and
means Of systematic relief for members
of the order, TO encourage the citizens
in the work of rebuilding and to pre-
vent able bodied men from leaving the
city.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That w. Frank Pierce,
chairman of the general Masonic board
Of relief, be authorized TO appoint the
master and heads of Masonic bodies to
select committees from their respective
bodies TO attend to matters of relief for
needy members, and further, that the
chairman appoint a committee to es-
tablish an employment bureau for the
purpose OF finding work for all Masons
deserving employment"
The principal speakers were B. P.
Flint, James z. Gordon, Isador Jacobs
and Mrs. Kate S. Willats, grand secre-
tary OF the Eastern Star.
Mr.. Jacobs, president Of the Califor-
MIA canneries, aroused great enthusi-
asm when he said that the greatest
work that the Masonic fraternity could
do at this time is 10 induce the insur-
ance people 10 make speedy settlement
with the small manufacturers who en-
ploy from fort yto sixty employees, and
who are anxious to go into business
again. The adjustment, he stated, had
been attended to for big concerns, but
the smaller ones had been delayed. If
such were attended to thousands of
persons would fni work and a better
state of feeling would exist.
Meessrs Flint and Gordon spoke of
the immediate necessity Of action to
the end that members of the craft shall
be encouraged and assisted to secure
employment and support themselves by
their own eXertions.
Mrs. Willats said that the grand mas
ter had placed al her disposal in the
basement of ST. Marcus Church a guam
tity Of overalls and jumpers for the use
of those Masons who have to engage in
dusty work.
Mr.. Jacobs was appointed chairman
of a special committee TO prepare a
plan along the lines suggested by him
for presentation to the general COM
mittee.
The chairman urged upon all Masons
TO lend assistance in the work now in
hand.
Secretary Young announced that the
Southern Pacific wanted fifty freight
handlers this morning, and that Cam
eron & piston offered work for carpen-
tiers and laborers. A. S. Bowen asked
for ten painters. and another member
asked for ten tailors.
After adjournment the masters of the
various lodges were addressed by the
chairman, who urged them to inyesti-
gate cases of need and report them to
the board. He said that many So
journing members of the craft were as
sisted in the matter of transportation,
and that one family had been sent to
Australia.

WOULD DISCUSS
C|TYS AFFAIRS
BeIshaW Plans a Meeting Of
the Senate Finance
Committee.
Suggests Preliminary Session
Of Members Of the
Legislature.

Senator Charles M. Belshaw Of Con-
ira Costa County has addressed let
ter to the members Of the Senate's FL
nance Committee, of which he Is
chairman, calling a meeting OF that
body in Oakland on May Fl. Any one
wishing to present any matter for the
committees consideration is invited to
attend. The Belshaw letter Is as fol-
lows:
MY Dear Senator: In view OF the
great loss which has come to, Califor-
MIA through the dreadful disaster
which recently visited San Francisco
and other cities, 1t is possible that an
extra session of the Legislature may
be convened by the Governor.
Through the press l learn that the
Governor is unwilling to call an ex-
ira session until the matters to be
acted upon at the extra session shall
have been thoroughly discussed and
as near as may be determined upon.
This position of the Governor con-
sider wise and prudent. If an extra
session is to be called, in my judg-
ment, matters should be in such shape
that the Legislature may proceed with
and finish its business promptly.
Having this in mind, 1t strikes me
that much good could be accomplished
if the Finance Committee of the Sen
ate could meet at some convenient
place for the purpose of discussing In
a semi-official way those matters
which in all likelihood would come be-
fore the committee during the extra
session.
THE fire in San Francisco has de-
stroyed about one-quarter of the tax
able property of the State, and in my
opinion some legislation will be re-
CURED to provide funds for the COM
Ing fiscal year.
The water front Of San Francisco
has been considerably damaged and
IL ought to be put in such condition
that commerce shall not have to seek
elsewhere. Many OF
the public buildings and schools are In
need of more or less attention, and 1t
seems to me that the Finance Com
niittee could do much to expedite the
business of an extra session by doing
some work before the session is con-
vened. The commitFe could confer
with the Governor, with the heads of
different institutions, with other COM
Inittees Of the Senate, and with citi-
zens who might wish to bring to the
attention of the committee any mat
ter which would come under its juris-
diction.
"It is not my idea that the Finance
Committee shall usurp the functions
of any other legislative committee or
State official, but that It shall work in
harmony with all for the common
good. Therefore assuming that the
committees of the last session of the
Legislature will remain unchanged at
the extra SESSION. as chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Senate Of
the State Of California I request you,
as a member of the committee, to be
present at a meeting of the committee
to be held in the City Hall, Oakland,
Cal, at 2 p. M. Monday May 81, 1906
at which meeting method of proce-
dure will be adopted and future meet
ings provided for.
ct is understood that each member
of the committee shall attend those
meetings at his own expense.
God helps those who help them
selves Let us get to work"
