pacity for organized and orderly en-
deavor which are beyond all praise
have already met the need thru COM
nlittees appointed by the mayor OF
the city, ex-Mayor Phelan being
chairman of the finance com

the help of the army, have succeedes
in caring for 100000 homeless people

is after the office of sanitary officer;
Henry S. Kelley would like to have
the sidewalk inspectorship: John He'll,
city carpenter, and John Litscher a.
place on the police department.
In the past no attention has been
paid to the petitions of the old soldiers
and when the city council this year
took the same action as in former
years the veterans Immediately con-

at the court house. The matter will
be brought before the district court
and upon the judges decision hangs
the outcome of the veterans conten-

soldiers should be given the preferences
he will issue an order to give them
the positions asked for. Should the city,
council fail to comply with the order,
if such it should be, its members would
be liable to contempt of court. De-
velopments are anxiously awaited.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PROTEST.
Authorities Thought That They Were
Not Fairly Treated.

MOT arTty bgSdsVNs
San Francisco, April 25.-In the sew
en- days which have elapsed since the
beginning Of the ruin Of San FRANCISCO
its citizens have shown such amaz-
ing energy and resourcefulness, ana
such heroic determination to survive
the calamity, that President Roose-
velt,s proclamation of yesterday morn
ing created nothing less than conster-
nation.
In his proclamation the president
turned over to DR.. Edward Devlne, OF
the national Red Cross, the manage
ment of the relief measures and the
distribution Of the great funds so gen
erously appropriated by congress. and
recommended to the people of the
United States that their contributions
of food and supplies and money
should be diverted into the same hands.
There was mome1tary feeling that
the men who had endured the heat Of
the burden of the day were being treat
ed unfairly by this diversion of au-
thority into new and foreign Keeping,
but this was soon dissipated by the re-
fection that the action of the president
was the result of misinformation.
Rebel at Presidents Action.
At a conference at Fort Mason, at
tended by Generals Greely and Funs-
ton, Mayor Schmitz, Governor Pardee.
DR.. Devine, and some others, it was
agreed that this was the case. and that
DR.. Devine himself should frame
telegram to the president informing
him of the splendid work already done
and of his perfect willingness to as
sist in forwarding the measures already
taksn.
What hurt even more than this was
the suggestion made in the letter from
President Roosevelt to Secretary OF
war Taft that reports had reached him
that ,ess charity was being shown the
Chin Sc who dwelt here than the
whites. and directing that if this be
true the situation should be remedled
at once. If the people of San Fran
cisco are not in love with the Chinese
it was felt that the name they had
earned in the past for charity and
onenheartedness should have saved
them from any reflection that they
would have permitted any human be-
,ne-white. black or yellow Wlthln
their reach to suffer
Neglect Of Chinese Denied.
Mature reflections however, brought
the conviction that the truth had not
reached the president and a special
message was sent him signed by the
