Distribution will be under a system
devised by DIR. Devine, the special
agent of the Red Cross soci6fyS sent
here g. by President Roosevelt. Gen.
Greely said that reports had come to
him from several of the relief districts
that there were many abuses under
the present system, such as waste and
repeating" by which persons boarded
provisions in their houses. He said
that under the new system of distribu-
ton these abuses would not occur.
Gen. Greely incidentally explained the
relative position OF himself and Gen.
Funston.
He said that he had dvested himself
as far as possible of all departmental
duties, which would continue to remain
in the hands of Gen. Funston, and
would devote himself to the sanitation
of the city, the matter of the policy
of the army in its unusual relations
with the city, and other special ques-
tions.

Discuss Electric Power

1t was asked at this point whether
the use of electric power was abso-
IuteIy essential. A member of the COM
mittee suggested that horse power
might be sufficient under the present
condition. Manager Mutually said that
they had no horse cars that would
work on the present guage, and further,
that they had not the necessary horses.
"Give us the cars and we VIII get
the horses" interposed e. II. Hartman,
tersely.
II. Carey Friedlander, a member of
the lighting committee, said that its
members were dealing with the prop
erty of the citizens of San Francisco
or what remained of it-and that they
did not feel justified in permitting the
electric cars to start operations until
they We're absolutely sure that there
was no danger.

repair this quickly.
Lumber Needed
A large amount of lumber would be
needed and the Southern Pacific had
agreed to rush a supply for this espe-
cial purpose. When these pipe lines are
repaired they win fill a $4,000 000-gallon
reservoir In the mission district.

favor of the quick resumption of cleo

ingmen before their actual services
would be of the greatest value. He
said also that great deal of the un-
rest in the city was due to the inability
of the people to find their relatives and
friends and that they could not do this
unless they had some better means of
getting about in their search.
Col. Heuer spoke briefly along the
same general lines as Chief Engineer
Schussler.
The veteran army engineer did not
believe that it would be safe at the
present moment to start the electric
car system.

BRIGHTER SIDE OF RUSSIA.
Decent Amusement Is Provided for the
Workinqmen.

Aside from it's working hours, Russia
rises superior to her neighbors in pro-
viding decent amusement for the i'm
mense laboring class whose meager
earnings forbid them the amusements
of the prosperous, says the Craftsman.
Nearly every Russian city has min.
iature Coney Island supported by the
state or municipalities, the prevailing
admission fees being from half a cent
upward. st. Petersburg has the finest
and cheapest popular theater in Eu-
rope. Where racial and religious
considerations are not involved. the
Russian laws are superior to those Of
many European countries. For ordi.
nary murders, capital punishment is
never inflicted, while the illegitimacy
statute, amended three years ago, is
the most liberal on earth, completely
annulling the social stigma and other
obstacles which usually attend this
misfortune, which in the case of chill.
