FREE PASSES CEASE.
Thomas Magee, chairman OF the
committee on refugees. reported that
! the free transportation of refugees foI
/ points in California would cease a
noon today. His committee was hav-
/ ing no difficulty in moving those who
/ wished to leave. Two hundred and
! fifty wagons engaged in the distribu-
! ton of supplies at the various camps
! had been instructed to remove al
people, together with their effects. 1t
! had been the experience of the COM
! mittee, however, that very few OF
| those now remaining in the city de-
! sired to leave. The committee was
glad of this, for there was no desire
to depopulate the city. On the con-
trary, it was the desire that those
| who did leave should not remove
| themselves SO far that it would be in
| convenient for them to return when
normal conditions were restored and
| their services needed In the upbuilding
/ of the new San Francisco.
| The reason for the order stopping the
! issuing of transportation to all but
women and children is that General
Funston and the Mayor discovered
| that thousands of able-bodied men
vert leaving to be a burden on the
! bay and interior towns. These men
are all wanted right here A great
call has risen for workingmen OF all
sorts at good wages.
Dr. Edward 7. Devine, general agent
of the Red Cross Society, who was sent
by President Roosevelt to confer with
Major General Greedy, Governor Par
dee, Mayor Schmitz and Judge Nor
row, gives his view of affairs In this
way:
GOVERNMENT TAKES HOLD.
1T has become evident that the
would soon get beyond the facilities
OF the various relief committees. I'm
der the conditions existing in San
Francisco the relief work cannot. be
efficiently and properly maintained
without the cooperation OF the mill
tary authorities.
1.-The work OF restoring the city Is q
problem Of such enormous proportions
and private interests are OF such vital
moment to the vast majority Of busi-
ness mon that the future Of the city
would be placed in a precarfous con-
dition If some such move as was
agreed upon today had not beer
taken
| II am now making plans for put
ting the new order of things into exc
! cution, and tomorrow at noon the
military authorities will relieve the
citizens of the labor of issuing rations
and supplies TO those who need them
Before making the change system
! Of checking will be inaugurated al
the fifty-eight or more distributing
stations to prevent the wasting o,
supplies and the issuance in greater
quantities than is necessary for al
present needs. This checking system
will relieve the military authorities
