About the Reunion Bureau
There will be many northwesterners
who would like to avail themselves of
the privilege of registration who have
not yet selected their stopping places
in Minneapolis and will not do so until
the last minute. The plan here offered
provides that even these may receive
valued service by sending in their cot
pons at once, indicating that when they
do select their Minneapolis hotel or
boarding house they will register the
address with The Journal Re-
union Bureau These belated addresses
will be placed on record and as the pub
lished list of names will indicate this
fact, visitors can quickly secure the in
formation they lack upon their arrival
in the city.
Send in the Coupons at Once
Those wishing to avail themselves of
the service of the Reunion Bureau are
urged to send in their names and ad-
dresses at once, as the work of tabula-
ton and classification will be heavy.
Remember that the whole idea is only
that while you are here your friends
will know where to look for you There
are thousands of people coming who
want to see thousands of people who
are here and talk over the old times for
little while. Such meetings are among
the pleasantest events in life-they
show that one is not forgotten by the
old friends in the old home and they
enable old acquaintance to check up.
their experiences in a way that may be
beneficial to all concerned. If T he
Journals Reunion Bureau shall
serve such purpose, it will feel we'll
repaid for the time and space required.

BUILDERS MAKE
GREAT FIGURES
Fifty Millions Per
Annum to-
Build.

According TO the statements OF lead
ing architects and builders, the amount
OF new construction in San Francisco
for the next. five years ought not to
amount to less than S5O,QOO 900 a yea- in
vElue. This implies the greatest pos
sible amount Of activity and vast ex-
psnditures 1or skilled and unskilied la
Dor and material
The value Of the buildings in san
Francisco at the close OF 1905 was some
thsng. like 1928 ooO. .0OO, as. carefully esti-
mated. Substantially that valuation in
total was accepted by the State Board
of Equalization While it is difficult to
estimate the value in buildings. CT that
large residential and business portion
of San Francisco that escaped the ERE,
it Is certain that hundreds OF millions
Of dollars were lost IN the value Of
structures destroyed.
While the. records Of departments in
the. City Hall were largely destroyed,
By. 2 singular chance the figures show
ing the extent OF building operations
in ibis city IN the period betweeen 1901
and 1906. inclusive Of both years men

Secretary Barhs Of the Chamber Of
Commerce OF san Francisco. being en-
gagged in compiling statistics FOR the
annual report OF the chamber, received
q letter from M Cummings, a clerk
OF the Board OF Public Works, the
Cay before the. earthquake. This con-
tslned a ful statement Of building per-
mits issued and the estimated value Of
the. contemplated improvements.
From this ii appears that San Fran
cisco constructed, in its ordinary prog
ress, buildings TO the total value OF
SIS 600, 900 II i've years. The permits in
1901 called for improvements valued at
1S,5O2. .Se4. Those Of 1905 represented
buildings costing 1881, ,978. The -.s-
ures for the intervening years We're:
For 1902, $4,000, Az; for 1903, 81, ,264, ,245:
for 1904, $1T,o16, $50. The classes OF
structures erected IN 1906 and the NUM-
Der and valuation as estimated were as
follows:
Frames, 2198. value 310.251, ,917: class
A. Is. value s3.451, ,5S6; class 3, II, value
s9es.s4S; class c, a. value 3.127, SIS;
alterations. $50, value S2.OI7.9z
As viii be observed, the improve
ments Increased in five years from SS.-
5O2;So4 to s1s.S17,s7& In another five
years. II nothing had taken place TO IN
duly increase the demand for new
structures. the value OF annual i'm
proponents would have. amounted 70
$40, 900, 600 IN round figures to meet the
demands Of the growing population. In
this view an estimate or S50000,000 In
annual construction during the period
OF rebuilding the city probably is too
low rather than too high.

DISORDERS
| ARE FEARED
IN FRANCE.
Precautions Against Out
break Taken by
Police.

PARIS, April 27.-The police adopted
decisive measures this morning to aD-
prehend the element which Is foment-
ing disorder and capture the source OF
Its supply. Early in the day a search
was made of the headquarters Of the
Confederation OF Labor and also OF
it's fifty branches throughout the city.
simultaneously the police searched the
homes OF a number OF roya1iSt SYM
pathizers who were suspected OF en-
couraging disorder in the hope Of ef-
fecting a coup d'etat- The offices OF
La Croix, reactionary paper, were
also searched. Important papers. 1t Is
understood. were found at the homes
of some of the royalists.
The search Of the headquarters OF
the Confederation Of Labor yielded
negative results.
The Prefect of Police, NJ. Lepine. this
afternoon made reassuring reply to
hundreds of letters which anxious citi-
zens had addressed to the police. He
said that all precautions had been
taken to maintain order in the streets
on May 1 and prevent attempts against
life or property. Besides the full police
force, which will be on duty. reinforce
ments consisting of 900 infantry, cav
airy and artillery Will arrive tonight.
tomorrow and Sunday. These troops
Will be disposed through the city with
precise orders. Special surveillance
will be maintained over the water
and gas conduits.
In addition to the troops mentioned,

from duty in the mining regions have
been brought to Paris. and dragons
and hussars are coming from many
other points.
In strike circles the men are much
calmer. There has been no renewal OF
the disorders and the return Of the
northern iron workers to their fac
tories indicates a partial breakup of
the movement in the mining regions
] The workmen IN numerous additional
trades have announced their adhesion
10 the eight-hOur movement, but the
railroad men and employees OF the pro-
vision trades do not intend to strike.
The announcement this afternoon that
the big department stores viii remain
open as usual served to reassure the
public. The Government has received
the most positive assurance that the
iaoor leaders do not intend to permit
any disorder on May 1. Accordingly
the Governments view is that there is
not the slightest danger of serious
/ trouble.
The trouble in the Department OF the
Nord is considered to be over. The
miners strike, however, continues in
the department OF Pas da Calais.

EARTHQUAKE DATA
BEING CLASSIFIED
BY COMMISSION

Professor Andrew C. Lawson, presi-
dent Of the State Earthquake Investi-
eating Commission, addressed the FL
nance Commission yesterday afternoon
and was granted $500 to pursue his
work.
Ihe Commission, which has been APP
pointed by Governor Pardee, is made
up of Professor Lawson, Professor of
Geology at the University of California,
G. e. Gilbert of the United States Geo
logical Survey, Professor Fielding Reid
OF Johns Hopkins University. Professor
Branner Of the geological department
OF Stanford University, A. o. Leusch-
ner, Professor of Astronomy at the Uni
versity of California, George Davidson,
Professor of Geography at the Univer-
sity of California, Charles Burkbardt
OF the Chabot Observatory, and W. W.
campbell, Director Of the Lick Obser-
vatory.
Professor Lawson said that the inves-
legations made so far in the city have
already given data which will be useful
IN the rebuilding of the city. Houses
IN the rocky and hilly districts suffered
little, while most of the destruction
occurred in areas of soft ground. This
IS caused by the great decrease in the
rate of the vibrations when they strike
ground. The soft ground acts like a
vlscous mass. Professor Lawson thinks
that it will be possible to plat out the
districts where big buildings can safely
be erected.
Professor Lawson said that in the
earthquake of .Inyo in 1872. vibrations
equal in violence to that of the late
earthquake rocked the mountains for
two hours without cessation.

land. The San Francisco real estate
men must see to it that rentals are
not raised on us in San Francisco, as
is happening in some sections there at
this time''
NO RAISE IN RENTS.
In reply to this Mr. Howell said:
The rentals will not be raised. The
Southern Pacific and Western Pacific
Railroad officials, who control much
land, will cooperate with us in pro-
viding you with abundance of ground
at reasonable rates. Let me also in
form you that the Realty Board has
leased for a year on Van Ness avenue
$4,000 square feet Of space at rental
OF 5000 a month. Does that resem-
BILE an unreasonable rental?"
William Babcock of the Bank of Cal
ifornia, president of many large con-
Germs, accompanied Mr.. Howell to
Oakland as a representative Of the
general committee of business men,
which committee heard yesterday that
prompt action by the proper parties
is needed to insure the return of the
wholesalers to San Francisco and so
appointed Mr.. Babcock to convey the
general committees ideas on the sub
ject.
After being appointed to interview
YOU said Mr.. Babcock to the whole
sale merchants yesterday, IT con-
ferred with l. w. Hellman, who au-
tforized me to convey to you his feel
! ing of keen disappointment that the
thought Of the possible postponement
| of the wholesalers return to San
Francisco should exist. The banks will
| ell aid you. There will be plenty Of
money for you all. The banks cannot
get along without you. You are as
suued of their cooperation. Mr. He'll
man offers his own residence for your
meetings.
BANKS PREPARING TO OPEN.
THE situation is not so black. Banks
! are preparing to reopen. The Mer-
camille Trust Company is doing bust
ness in its basement. The Hibernia
Rank will be in it's own building soon
The Security Savings Bank has only a

! fore that, the banks will be doing
business. Come back and try to get

there. Do your business where you
ran new, but plan for a resumption at
the old stand. .
Mr. Howell followed Mr. Babcock
with the statement that the realty men
are to have ready for consideration to-
morrow morning at 10 O'Clock facts and
figures which will show just what the
wholesale merchants may expect in
the way of accommodatipns. Con-

The rescue of six of the insane held
at the Central Emergency Hospital on
the morning Of the earthquake by the
matron, Mrs. Kane, and Policeman
John Mclean was one Of the many
acts Of heroism Of the catastrophe.
When the western wing of the City
Hall fell six insane prisoners were
buried in the debris. Digging through
the ruins, Mclean and Mrs Kane res
cued their charges and took them to
