Voting Machines insured.

A meeting OF the Election Commits
sion was held yesterday afternoon, but
little business Of importance was
transacted. Registrar Of Voters Ad-
ans states that about twenty reg1stra-
tions has been the daily average since
the new Office was established Ad-
ans does not encourage registration
at this time on the part OF residents
who were burned out. He says that
such citizens may change their place
Of residence several times before the
dav of election and that extra work
u-o,,1d he forced on the employees OF
his Office. It was learned yesterday
that James A. Devote, while Election

Congressman Kahn Says

in Order to Secure
Supplies.

The authorities in charge Of the re-
lief OF the destitute are becoming
alarmed over the fact that the resump-
1ion OF business activity and the re-
opening Of retail stores has not mate
rally decreased the number that daily
applies for assistance Congressman
Julius Kahn has been informed by
General Greely that he is now issuing
$4,000 rations daily, which is causing
an enormous drain upon not only the
resources Of the relief committees. but
upon the Government as well
Congressman Kahn viii call the at
tention OF the general committee to this
condition today and will express the
opinion that at least 100000 Of the peo-
pie that daily accept relief are well
able at this time to care for them
selves. II is reported. that in many in
stances families send relays Of children
70 the various relief stations and are
stocking their homes for future pur-
poses. It is pointed out that so long as
this condition prevails stsgnation will
be upon the retail shops. A worse con-
ditiOn than this, however, viii result

ed Then the really destitute viii face

template. II those. that can care for
themselves would do so the relief funds
would be sufficient to carry those that

prosperity returns. There will not be
sufficient, though, unless those that can
help themselves are first weeded out Of
the relief lines.
Congressman Kahn will suggest that
measures be taken TO investigate the
actual condition OF all asking for re-
lief and in this way alone can the pres
ent abuse be corrected
Congressman Kahn viii probably re-
turn 70 Washington tomorrow. He
said yesterday that he would bend all
Of his energies TO secure appropriations
for the repair Of all Government build
ings now standing and for the erec-
ton OF such new ones as may be re-
ouired. He said he had no doubt what
ever but that Congress would appro-
pirate the sums necessary and that the
beginning Of work upon these struc-
lures would soon prove a great factor
toward the re-establishment Of public
confidence.

YREKA, May 4.--Yreka. with only
1900 population, sent more than sew
enty-f1ve boxes and barrels of food and
clothing, besides $4,000 in cash, to the
San Francisco sufferers. The four
teen secret societies contributed 500
each and the Siskiyou County Bank
$500. The people simply overdid
themselves. One girl contributed her
best skirt; woman, with tears in her
eyes, rushed into her bedroom and
dragged the best pair Of blankets off
the beds, and one poor old soul, with
the weight of bereavement in the loss
of son still upon her, broke into sobs
and brought forth the clothing Of the
dead son to be sent to the sufferers.

DISCOVER CREvICES
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Scientists Find the
Cause of Late
TemblOr.
Believe Range Is
Parting Along
Center.

Biologists who have been at work
since the earthquake with the object
of finding traces that would establish
the cause of the disturbance have
found in the mountain range west of
Redwood City what appears to be in
disputable evidence that their theory
of the parting of the mountain ranges
along the coast is the correct one At
the summit of the mountains. a short
distance above the village of Wood
side, there is an immense crevice In
the earth, the appearance of which in
dicates that the range split at the top
and the side nearer the ocean fell
away toward the sea.
This crevice is at places from three
to six inches wide; it has been fol-
lowed by the surveyors for distance
of more than four miles along the
crest of the range. At places the
crack in the range is of considerable
depth and at other points the evil
dences show that the parting Of the
great mass of rock and earth was fol-
lowed by a partial closing Of the gap.
The split follows the line Of the range.
north and south, this being the
general direction of the earthquake
shock
Dr. John c. Branner, head of the
department of geology at Stanford
University, has sent a number OF
assistants into the field to make an
exhaustive study of all the changes
in the geological formation. They
have examined the fault along the
mountain range and have made maps
of the entire district. The data thus
obtained will be published in the form
of a report under DR.. Branner's di-
rection.
One year ago DR.. Branner's class
in geology mapped the same region
Their Investigations now show that
in the interval between that time and
the present the region west of the
crevice now appearing at the crest of
the, range has fallen away toward
the sea. At places the discrepancy
Is as much as two feet, thus showing
that the extreme western side of the
range is parting from the old location
AND moving toward the ocean. The
sliding of such an immense body of
ground would be sufficient, say the ge-
ologists to cause such shock as that
of April IS.
One student engaged upon the work
under the direction Of the geological
corps was injured the other day, and

FIVE HUNDRED RETAILERS
NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Merchants are Applying for Permits
Every Hour and Trade Is Becoming
Very Brisk

The Resumption of Trade Committee
reports 500 retail stores doing business.
New applicants for permits to open re-
tail stores are turning up every hour.
All the big stores are reported doing
business now, but few of them have left
their addresses with the committee.
There is a general misunderstanding
as to the purpose of the Resumption of
Trade Committee. Some think that the
committee issues permits for all kinds
of new undertakings. But they do not.
Permits for the reopening Of retail bus
inesses are the only ones issued by the
committee.

A report made to the financial COM
mitttee by General Greely brought out
forcibly the necessity of rigid economy
in the distribution of supplies. On
Thursday over 100000 people drew ra-
tions. The chief of commissary reports
that, figuring on this basis, there are
on hand rations for only four or five
days. The finance committee decided
that for the present no money could he
expended except for the immediate re-
lief of the destitute.
The following rough table, furnished
by General Greely, shows approx
mately what is on hand:
100000 rations of -four,
$4,000 rations of sugar.
800, 900 rations of rice.
1,400. 900 rations of potatoes.
100000 rations of beans
At the suggestion of DR.. Devine it
was decided to purchase from the
quartermaster's department 5000, 600
rations Of beef. This will last for ten
days.
DR.. Devine recommended the estab-
lishment of cheap restaurants, where
those with money may purchase food
at minimum rates. A committee was
appointed to further the project The
following are on the committee: Mayor
Schmitz. Archbishop Riordan, Govern
or Pardee. Rabbi Voorsanger, DR.. De-
vine and E. H. Hartman
For the present the finance commit
tee will make no payments for restora-

General Greedy show that the food
question is the most serious before It

officers at the different relief stations
will be cautioned to use extra care in

cared for.
