AT a meeting Of the board OF fire COM
m~issioners the pension application OF Mar
rnerite Sullivan, widow OF the fire chiei
who was killed, was read. On the motion
of Commissioner Parry the pension was
granted. No word Of ex explanation or eulogy
a spoken. The very simplicity and
directness Of the proceedings, however,
were a greater tribute than words could
have been. The widow will get sleo a
month.
II DR.. Devine and Mayor Schmitz can
prevent it the army will not be withdrawn
from relief work on juno l, as Gen. Greedy
proposes.
aThe matter has passed beyond my con-
troll" said Gen. Greedy. Il have notified
the Mayor that l shall withdraw from the
work on the first Of the month and have 20
reported to the Secretary of War in WASH
ington. tbs change in plan will lave to
come from Washington
Acting on this, DR.. Devine and Mayor
Gchmitz nave both telegraphed Washing
ton informing the Secretary OF War that it
would be greatly to the detriment Of the
relief work IL the army should turn over
ths organization which 1t has perfected
for the distribution Of food and clothing
in conjunction with the Red Cross at this
time. They both urged Secretary Tart
TO permit the troops TO continue the work
until June 80 at least. By that time 1t is
expected that the number Of persons re-
curing aid will be greatly diminished and
the machinery for carrying on the work
viii be In such good shape that the civil
authorities will be able to carry it on At
the same time it is urged that it will be
,unwise to remove oldiers from street
spetrol at night for another month.
A characteristic instance OF the efficiency
of American private soldiers is given by
Col. Febiger. On one Of the first days after
the earthquake he found three privates
who had organized a regular relief system
