DOESN'T REST ON BED ROCK
cHIcAGos CITY HALL IN DAM
GER OF coLLAPsING.
IL In Showing n Decided Tendency
to Peer Into the New County
Building Excavation.

Chicago.-The city hall building
has settled to such an extent since the
completion of the excavation for the
adjoining new county building that it
has been found necessary to rope in The
entrances to prevent pedestrians from
being killed by falling sections Of cop
ing and cornices.
At the south end of the building, on
Washington street, the foundations
have sunk several inches, while the en-
tire building has assumed a list in the
direction of the hole which the new
building will cover.
The city hall and the county building
were of the same massive construction,
and as it was necessary to use giant pow
der to wreck parts of the latter, there
has been no apprehension of the city's
administrative building collapsing-
However, though its foundation walls
are many feet thick, they do not rest
on the rock which underlies the city,
but merely on the clay subsoil.
Ominous shivers ran through the
building, Sunday, and with many snaps
and groans cracks appeared within and
without. Hillocks appeared in the
board floors and desks assumed angles,
the floor thing tilted and dirt emerged
from crevices where it had lain undis-
| turbed for years.

ANOTHER PROCLAMATION
THE PRESIDENT wITHDRAWS
FORMER UTTERANCE.
lions Be Sent Direct to san
Francisco Committee.

Washington. President Roosevelt
believing that the exigency for work.
ing exclusively through the Red Cross
has passed, has issued the following
proclamation:
ITO the Public.
when the news of the dreadful dis
aster at San Francisco first came, it
was necessary to take immediate steps
to provide in some way for the receipt
and disruption of the sums of money
which at once poured in for the yelief
Of San Francisco. At the moment no
one could foTetell how soon it would be
possible for the people of San Francisco
themselves to organize, and to tide over
the interval the American National Red
Cross association was designated to re-
Ceive and disburse the funds.
But the people Of San Francisco,
with an energy and self-reliant courage,
for organized and orderly endeavor
which are beyond all praise, have al
ready met the need through committees
appointed by She mayor of the city, ex-
Mayor James D. Phelan being chairman
of the finance committee. The work Of
these committees has been astonishing
in its range, promptness and efficiency.
"As | am informed by Maj .-Gen.
Greedy, although all local t~ransporta-
ton was destroyed, as we'll as practical
ly every supply store in the city, these
local committees, with the help of the
army, have succeeded in caring for
5000 homeless people in the last five
days. Thanks to their efforts, no in
dividual is now suffering severely for
food, water or temporary shelter. This
work has been done with the minimum
of waste and under conditions which
would have appalled, men less trained in
business methods, endowed with less
ability or inspired with any but the
highest motives of humanity and help
fulness. The need of employing the
Red Cross, save as an auxiliary, has
passed, and | urge that hereafter all
contribution from any source be sent
direct to James D. Phelan, chairman
finance committee, San Francisco.
"Mr. Devine, of the Red Cross, viii
disburse any constitutions sent to him
through ex-Mayor Phelan and will work
in accord with him in all ways.

HENRY G. COLL CONVICTED
FOUND GUILTY ON NINETEEN
COUNTS OF THIRTY-FoUR.
National Bank of Milwaukee,,
Wrecked by Biyelow.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Henry G. Coll
former assistant cashier of the First
national bank Of this city, was found
guilty by a Jury in the United States
district court on 10 counts out OF "a.
The counts on which he was found
guilty relate to false entries and the
misapplication of funds in the bank,
those relating to ENLIGHTENMENT and tel
egrams being thrown out.
The amount of money which Golf is
alleged to have misapplied was about
$250,000. He was remanded to the Gus
tody of the United States marshal,
pending decision on a motion for a new
trial.
A feature Of the trial of Coll, which
lasted three weeks, was the appearance
as a witness of the former president OF
the bank, Frank G. Bigelow, who is
now serving a ten-year sentence at the
Fort Leavenworth prison, he having
pleaded guilty to looting the bank,
without undergoing a trial. Bigelow
testified that many of the acts with
which Coll was charged were commit
ted under his direction, but stated that
he had nc knowledge of some of them.

of being moved.
