TO PUT LIMIT
On THE SKY
SCRAPER

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-That the
height of class a buildings-the sky
xcrapers-should be in proportion to
the width Of the street was accepted
as a fundamental principle by the
committee on building laws yesterday.
1t was decided to fix the limit for such
structures at two and one-half times
the width of the thoroughfare on which
they front. jeremiah Deneen said that
many communications on the height
question had been received that some
persons wanted no limit and others
wanted buildings TO be kept low; that
wider streets might be obtained in the
business section without cost to the
city. If the height of buildings of the
best class there were kept proportion
ate to the width, and that the proper
ton mentioned was compromise
which would probably suit nearly
everybody. A. Ruef remarked that
this proportion would permit the cree
ton of buildings 1856 feet high on Mont
gomery street, and that as many prop
erty owners there would perhaps not
want to go higher than this In con-
struction, there would be more difficulty
in getting them to consent to widen
the street than If he proportion fof
buildings were two times the width
of the thoroughfare. He was willing
however. to accept the recommends
tion of Deneen's subcommittee, which
had given the question long considera-
zion, and 1t was unanimously adopted
The heights of other buildings Were
fixed as follows: Glass Il tireprooi
buildings, 1O2 feet; class c buildings,
with metal lath, 20 feet, and with
wooden Hath, So feet; frame buildings,

arbitrary restrictions and Illegal dis
ordinations, which was farthest from
the thoughts of the committee and all
interests concerned. The Chinese, he
declared, would not consider the pro-
posed site at Hunters point, which in
the committee g opinion was most ideal
from sanitary, climatic and CONNER
cial point of view, being situated close
to deep water and within twenty min
utes by street ear from the center of
the city. After thoroughly canvassing
the situation, Ruef said the committee
had decided to recommend location in
the northern section of town, in the
hope that the Chinese will agree to
accept II. This locality is within the
district bounded by Sansome and Front
streets north Of Pacific to the bay.

TORRENT OF SOFT MUD
CONES FROM THE EARTH

Within couple of minutes after the
earthquake, and before they had time
to collect their shattered nerves, the
few people living within the section
at the base of the mountain just south
of Mount Olivet Cemetery. We're put
to their wits end by a swirl of muddy
water that went rushing down into
the cemetery and toward the railroad
track Like an avalanche It rushed
along, carrying everything within a
scope of 100 feet wide and fully one
half mile in length. Trees were up
rooted and buried barns, work and
tank houses were carried away, and
between $4,000 and 10000 feet of lum-
Der the property of the Cemetery AS

Several horses belonging to neigh
boring farmer were caught in the
swirl, but, struggling for their lives,
emerged completely coated with a soft,
sticky mud. Many pigs We're lost AMI
an entire potato patch was washed
out.

LOST GOSPEL
Is DISCOVERED

LONDON, May l5.-Drs. Grenfel and
Hart, during continued researches of
the ruins of OXyrhyncus, whose an
cient monasteries some years ago
yielded the famous Logia of Christ,
found a fragment of a supposed lost
gospel, which is now in Queens Col
lege, oxford.
1t is tiny scrap of vellum, per-
forated by worms and yellowed by six
teen centuries, but the writing is per-
fectly legible. 1t is written in Greek
characters, which are almost micro
scopically minute, with scarlet initials.
There are about 300 words.
1t is certainly no part of any extant
gospel, but its theological value must
be left to the theologians. 1t is I'M
usually we'll written from a literary
viewpoint. 1t begins in the middle of
a speech. Jesus and his disciples have
entered the temple and met Pharisee,
who rebukes them for emitting some
ceremonial of ablution. Jesus asks the
Pharisee what the latter has done to
comply with the ceremonial. The
Pharisees reply minuteiy describes the
process of publication, of which no
previous authority has given the de-
tails.
Then follows powerful eloquent de-
nunciation by Jesus of mere outward
publication, he saying that he and his
disciples have been purified by the
waters of life There is also a mem
ton of hitherto unknown part of the
temple called the hegneuterian, or place
of publication.
Theological circles are greatly inter-
ested in the discovery which promises
sensation equal to that created by
the Logia of Christ

GIVING OUT RATIoNS
ACCORDING TO SYSTEM

A reduction in the number of rations
issued daily from 279,61 on May 2d
to 100000 on May 18th, is the
record that has been made by the con
solidated relief bureau, under command
of Lieutenant Colonel Lea Febiger In
the main this great reduction has been
due to the rigid system of military in
Speetion that has been maintained at
the individual relief stations to a more
accurate and comprehensive system of
recording the receipt and distribution
of supplies than the civil committee
maintained and the policy adopted by
the military, under General Greedy s
orders, of the eliminating of the able
bodied men from the bread lines.
The work of the Red Cross in regis
tering entire districts has also had
much to do with wedding out "repcat-
ers' from the lines. The presence of
a soldier on every supply wagon has
practically done away with diversion
of food supplies, and whatever caches
of provisions are boarded away in
cellars were the fruit of manipulations
of favored insiders during the first
confusion of indiscriminate giving.
Yhe result of week and a half of
Army discipline has reduced the work
of relief to system. The city has
been divided into seven relief sections
each section in charge of an Army Off
Ger, who makes II report at the close
of each day as to the number of ra'
tions issued from stations in his see
! ton. All reports from the city are
in turn summarized for the benefit OF
Colonel Febiger. The result has beer
that it is now possible to state. almost
10 man, how many mouths there are
in San Francisco at present to feed
and what proportion the destitute hole
TO those who are able in some manner
10 support themselves
Colonel Febiger stated yesterday tina
at the present time there are in SaI
Francisco 100000 persons who are de
pending upon relief. OF these, at leas
100000 are in a position to support
themselves ut such time rs the 10
cent restaurants become generally il
use throughout the city. The remain
ing 10000 are absolutely destitute, an,
must continue to depend upon city re
lief entirely until such time az con
ditions are so improved that various
members of the different families cal
begin again to find work.

BURNHAM TALKS TO
SAN FRANCISCO PEOPLE
d. II. Burnham, who reached San
Francisco Monday evening. was pres
ent at yesterdays meeting of the Com.
mittee Of Forty and was called upon
to speak by Mayor Schmitz.
He said that the one question which
the people of San Francisco had to con-
slider Immediately was that of the
downtown district He considered
that the immediate needs were nothing
more than the widening of several
streets in the old business section, and
the laying out of a few diagonals, new
streets that would permit direct travel
between a number of important points,
which are now reached from the bust
ness centers only by extremely circu-
tous routes.
These improvements, he said,
twill do much for the city, because
they will improve property values i'm
mensely, now and for all time. | know
of no city in all the world possessed
of greater natural advantages than San
Francisco, and the opportunity now
afforded is great one. 1t permits of
things being done which have not been
possible heretofore, except mt enor-
nous expense, and which are not likely
to be possible again.
''There are n half-doz men on your
committee which is considering these
matters, who are as keen and as cap
able of judging what is needed as any
men ! have ever met anywhere. The
matter is in capable hands and these
men have so crystallized the problems
that it seems to me there is little or
nothing left to suggest to them. They
have done magnificent work and these
questions are safe in their hands.
Utility is the main thing to con-
slider in laying out streets. Adorn-
ment Will come later and will take care
of itself. Wide streets are needed for
traffic. In New York and Chicago, as
well as other large cities, this fact is
| now understood, for the streets there
| are congested. The cost of improve
ment in the matter of streets must. of
course, be considered. 1t is for the
people to say how much expense they
can stand at this time Broad thor
oughfhres are not only useful but they
, are ornamental also.''
