ACTION ON CLAIMS
AGAIN DELAYED.
Relief Corporation Busy
With Work of Organiz-
ing It's Departments
PLAN MAPPED OUT

The executive committee of the Re-
lief Corporation yesterday referred all
the claims before it to the committee
of the whole. These will be acted
upon in special sessions, which will
occupy from three to five days. A COM
munication from DR.. James W. Ward,
president of the Board of Health,
stating that claims of certain physi-
clans for services rendered in camps
should be paid was referred to Major
CASTOR.
The fact was brought out that in
Oakland are some 175 tents, half Of
which are in charge of the army for
relief work But against these tents
there is claim disputed by the Oak
land relief COMMITTEES, for $3.50. AS
the tents are much needed. Major
CASTOR was directed to investigate and
report.
A letter was received from the Cal
ifornia Methodist relief committee set
ting forth that many of the pastors
of that denomination lost their ..ouses,
libraries and furniture in the FIRE
Applicat tion for assistance had been
made to DIR. Devine, but he had re-
ferred them to the executive COM
mittee.
f. w. Dohrmann, who has charge
of the rehabilitation work, took occa-
sion to state just why there had been
delay. Dohrmann said
LAS to claims. I feel that some ex-
planation as to why the pending
claims have not been finally acted
upon is due to the claimants, as we'll
as to the general public. These claims
were pending when the executive COM
mittee took charge of the business
of the corporation. In my opinion.
they should have been adjusted either
by the old finance committee or by
special committee consisting of
trustees other than the members of
the executive committee. The latter.
at any rate, has been so busy since
it's appointment with studying the
problem of how to have the work
done satisfactorily and speedily that
it has been absolutely impossible to
find time to attend to claims and give
them the necessary consideration to
adjust them fairly. I understand, how
ever, that an effort will be made to
reach this problem next week"
A letter was received from Secre-
tary Taft authorizing the corporation

CONSCIENCE FUND FOR RELIEF.
Mum and Woman Who Stood in Bread
Line Pay for Goods Received.

Last week woman appeared at the
Red Cross and Relief Committee head
quarters at Geary and Cough streets
with rs cents which she desired to
restore TO the relief funds. She said
that she had received a can of to-
matoes and three tins of corned beef
from the relief stores. which she
believed would have sold for rs cents.
Her home had not been burned. she
said, and she thought she should pay
for the goods. She explained that she
had no money at the time she was
given the provisions or she should have
paid for them then. The honest woman
surprised the clerks at headquarters
yesterday by coming in with a request
for some clothing for her children. She
was out of money again, she said, and
so the secretary attended to her wants
and she carried home two little dresses
and two pairs of shoes and stockings
for her little girls.
Yesterday a man came to Harry Bo-
CART, business manager for the Asso-

he had stood in the bread line for three

source. He had not been burned out
and his house had not fallen, but he
had been hungry and penniless. Now
