Hundreds upon hundreds

killing hundreds of persons, y

San Francisco. April 2

San Francisco, April 90
Fourteen men were killed last
night while attempting to rob the
vsu,,s of the Mirt. The ruins
of the treasure house were beine
guarded by soldiers. A mob
tried to reach the vaults contain
ing millions of dollars, and were
shot down by the soldiers. In
the midst of the battle, which
drew mp soldiers and policemen,
Officer Joseph Myers was run
through the body with bayonet.
Before the fire Wednesday was
half dozen hours old Mayor
Schmitz gave explicit intsruc-
tions to every person doing guard
or patrol duty to shoot without
warning whoever they might see
robb;ng or looting. Prior to
last nights bloody work, four
men had been shot down in their
tracks. The attempt last evening
to rob the Mint was we'll planned
beforehand. The building is
mass of wreckaee, and the mon
ster vaults stood out in bold re-
lief in the mass of debris.
The knowledge that the steel
strong boxes contained millions in
coin and bullion was the ircen-
tive of the mob to try and rob
them, but the soldiers were true
to their duty, and shot down the
would-be robbers without mercy.

Lack of funds has compelled the
street cleaning department to disPliss
a large number Of men. The number
OF teams at work yesterday was $50.
Besides performing regular work the
department Is removing garbage and
Transporting relief supplies. There are
plenty Of street sprinklers to operate
in the dusty downtown districts. but
no money with which to pay employees,

The bureau OF chimney inspection has
revoked twenty-five permits for fires

the withdrawal Of permits were hos
pitals, bakeries and laundries. The
scarcity Of water is responsible for
the stringent regulations. The Board
Of Works desires the privilege OF grant

neys so that not more than one inspec-
ton will be necessary.

SOBRIETY WILL
Be ENFORCED
Mayor Signs EdiCt
Against Beer in
Bottles.
Sale of IntOXiCat-
ing Liquors Is
Prohibited.

That enforced sobriety Will be the
rule until the city has returned to nor
nal conditions was demonstrated BY
the issuance OF the following procla-
nation by the Mayor:
FORT MASON, May Ito the Cen
eral Public: The first day of the fire 1
issued an order that no intoxicating
liquors should be sold or given away.
IL has been brought to my attention
IN the last few days that a number of
breweries have been attempting to de-
liver bottled beer to their customers.
II this practice were allowed it would
mean that bottled beer would be sold
not only to the house customers, but
also TO others on the streets. Those
interested in the manufacture and sale
OF intoxicating liquors are hereby no.
titled that they must refrain from dis
tTibuting intoxicating liquors of any
kind either for sale or for free distri-
button until further notice.
E. E. SCHMITz,
Mayor Of the City Of San Francisco.
In accordance with the foregoing the
Mayor addressed the following COM
munication 10 the respective com
rcanoers In chief Of the Federal aad
State troops:
1t has been brought to my attention
that certain breweries have started
10 distribute bottled beer. hereby
wish to notify you that I have issued
an order that no intoxicating liquor
be sold or given away until further
nOtioe- I would, therefore, request
that you notify your district oom-
nanderS to give their men special In
structdons relative TO this matter. IN
order 70 prevent either the sale or the
giving away OF intoxicating liquors
this order 70 remain In force and effect
until further notice.
TO permit q resumption Of liquor
selling at this time would be TO undo
much of the excellent wcrk that has
been done for the preservation Of or
der" said the Mayor. III intoxicating
drinks were either to be purchased or
obtained free. not only the people of
this city might lose some OF the pla-
cidlty Of mind that has sustained
them through their terrible trial. but
the soldiers and the aremen and 9TH
ers upon whom the very life Of the
city NOW depends would have tempts-
don thrust In their way that might
prove ru1nous 10 Us all These are my
reasons for insisting that San Fran

COLLINS HAS OBJECTIONS
TO MILITARY PRISON
Convicted Attorney Files a Protest
With the Mayor Against Being
lncarcerafed at Alcatraz.

George D. Collins has sent from the
Alcatraz prison to Mayor Schmitz a
long letter Of protest at his incarcera-
ton outside Of the city and county Of
San Francisco. He declares that in
ternstional law has been violated in
sending him to a military prison, and
~ great length explains that, as he
was extradited from Canada to this
city. he is now illegally confined.
Collins claims also that at the time
81 his removal to Alcatraz he was in
custody Of the Superior Court of this
cfSy and county on a writ of habeas
corpus previously served on the Sher-
~. and as that writ is still pending
II is a fragrant contempt TO remove
him from the Jurisdiction of that court.

GRATITUDE" OF BIRMINGHAM.
Unfair Criticisms Grow Out of Durrett's
 Conduct.

The Montgomery papers are attempt ing to uphold Durrett in his conduct on the diamond Thursday. Praise him, grace heaped on the little city of Mont gomery before the season grows much older"-Birmingham News.
 This Is a good example Of the unfair, bitter. and, to say the least of it, un- warranted and uncalled for manner with which the Birmingham papers have treated the Montgomery baseball team and Montgomery.
 The Birmin gham papers know that neither the Montgomery papers, the Montgomery Baseball Association nor the Montgomery public. has defended. tions. On the contrary, the Montgom- cry Baseball Association promptly or dered Durrett to return to Montgom- cry and released him both from the management and as a member of the Montgomery team.
 Some days ago telegram was sent Judge Kavanaugh by member of the GaS asba ifatns ssas the stigated Durrett's action. The name of the sender of this message is not known, but an investigation will be public.
 During one of the games in Birming- ham, Houtz. an outfielder of the Mont gomery team, discovered that a mem Der of the Birmingham infield had baseball concealed in the breast of his shirt. The umpire was notified and immediately compelled the Birmingham player to give up the ball. This incl dent was noted by Birmingham news paper, which, instead of condemning the Birmingham ball player for 'ques- tionable" methods, ridiculed Houtz, the Montgomery ball player, and sneering- ly called him spy

There is queer scoring in Nashville, Malarky is given one strikeout when he certainly struck out Kalhoff in the fifth inning with Bohannon on third and two out Then he certainly struck on third and two out Just where the hits credited to Gilbert and Wiseman came in. is a mystery, The Nashville scorer should at least give Malarky all that is coming to him.
