Mrs. King fighting madly with the
flames that enveloped her. Before aid

conscious to the ground. Mr. and Mrs.

SALOONS WILL
REOPEN TODAY.
Chief Dinan Says He Is
Prepared to Handle
the Situation.
Recommends Buildingof
City Prison on Site
of Old Tivoli.

Chief of Police Dinan does not look
for any serious disorder today as a re-
suit of the opening of saloons. Heswill
be amply prepared, however, to cope
with any situation that may arise. He
has plenty of policemen and wagons,
he says, and while lookup accommo-
datiOns are meager he Will have places
ready for the care of inebriates. He
recommends that the city erect a
prison ON the site of the old TivoH
Opera-house on Eddy street. between
Powell and Mases, this location being
available.
Saloon-keepers who have obtained
permits from the Board of Police Com
o'clock this morning for the first
time since the earthquake and fire. 1t
is estimated that about 500 permits
have been granted so far, but about
one-third have either not yet settled
upon location or will not be ready to
open for business till later when the
buildings will be fit for occupancy.
Most of the saloons to be opened
this morning are located along the city
front and in the Mission district. the
others being distributed In the Po-
trero and South San Francisco and in
the Western Addition. There will be
few, If any. in the burned district
Chief Dinan, in speaking of the open
ing of the saloons, said yesterday: L
do not anticipate that there will be
much trouble, but II there is l am in
a position to handle the situation with
the men at my command. There are
many chronic drunks in the city and
if these people were sent to jail with
out the option of fine 1t might have
a deterrent effect. The Sheriff has
plenty of room for them at the branch
County Jail.
In other cases of drunkenness 1
think a fine of $40 should be imposed,
with the alternative of five days in Jail.
Many of them are able to pay such
fine and it would put money in the
treasury where 1t is badly needed I
make this as suggestion to the Police
Judges.
Our accommodation for prisoners is
limited just now, but the new station
on Bush street. near Van Ness avenue.
for Company E, Captain Mooney, will
be finished in few days more and
the cells there can be utilized. I ex-
pect to know definitely tomorrow
where we will take up our quarters for
the Lowell High School soon. When
we do move it will be to a location
where we can have City Prison. The
site of the old Tivoli Opera-house on
Eddy street. near Mason, is under con-
sideration and it may be selected. 1t
is central and convenient and a suit
able building could be erected in a very
short time"

BUILDINGS RISING
WITH RUSH IMPETUS
IN THE MISSION
Residents Of That District
Erect Many Temporary
Structures.

The people of the Mission are among
the live ones. The great fire stilled
the pulse of industry in that prosper
Gus district only until the heat died
out. When it began to throb again, it
had beat as healthy as ever Keeping
apace with the spirit of regeneration,
the Mission is in the thick of the build
ing scramble and the concert of the
hammer and saw fills ones ears there.
The Mission wants business re-estab-
lished as soon as possible.
Especially in the territory bounded
by Thirteenth, Howard. Twentieth and
Dolores streets rebuilding is being ac-
lively prosecuted. AS soon as work
could be prosecuted many people set
about clearing sites for buildings-not
structures that would be notable for
architectural beauty, but such as would
enable them to go into business at the
old stands.
The first structure of the kind, on
Sixteenth street, between Mission and
Valencia, was started six days after the
fire and was put up in forty-eight
hours The example set was followed
by others on the rush system" until
now there are, by actual count in the
space described. 23S buildings, large
and small, finished or nearly So In
many pidtes are pelnS ldlu the IOunQa-
tion timbers for additional structures.
Nearly all of the new buildings contain
stores. A few are~residences
The desire of the >burned-out trades
people to return to the old sites and
resume business encouraged the people
in the unburned section of the Mission
to renewed effort and there is hardly
store that has not been repaired and
put in as good shape as it was before
the earth disturbance. Business on all
sides is fiourishing and it is predicted
by the old time Missionites that within
three months there will be but little
left to show how great the destruction
was.
