San Francisco, Cal, April 23-George
D. Collins, the attorney convicted of
perjury, was lodged in the state prison
today after making a desperate at
tempt to escape from the sheriff on the
ferry boat between this city and San

Soldier Attempted to Make a
Police Officer Work a Trick
With a Shovel.

San Francisco, April 23-Police Of
f1cer J. J. Dow was held up by a SOL
der while on his way to report at
police headquarters early yesterday
morning. The regular made an at
tempt to force the policeman to Ia
Dor in the street, but was in turn held
up himself and turned over to a lieu
tenant, who relieved him of his gun
and directed that he be sent to the
guard house.
Policeman Dow was ordered to halt
at Page and Cole streets. The soldier
commanded him to take a shovel and
aid in the work of clearing away the
debris in the street.
The fact that the officer was I'm uni
form and wore his star seemed to
have no effect on the soldier. He told
Dow in plain English that he would
shoot him if he did not go to work
The tables were turned when the SOL
der turned around to pick up a shovel
for the man he was attempting to
impress Dow quickly drew his re-
volver, held ii at the head Of the SOL
der and marched him in front to mill
tary headquarters at Page and Schrad-
err streets.
Policeman A c. Williams reported
a like experience when he reported at
headquarters yesterday morning. He
managed to persuade the soldier that
he was exceeding his authority and
after a brief argument was allowed
to go on his way.

Noble Work Performed by
Great Systems in Transport

Chicago. April 23.-In helping to relieve
the suffering in California the railroads
of the United States are performing free
Of cost a service which would have a
commercial value of at least So $50 900.
AS an illustration. it is estimated that
the relief work will cost the railroads
which are in the system controlled by
Z. H. Hartman at least SIS 900 daily for
the next thirty days. This would make
a total of 81, 100000. This sum, however,
includes the cost to railroads which de-
liver traffic to the Union Pacific at
Omaha, including the Northwestern, the
ST. Paul. the Great Western, the Illinois
Central and the Rock Island.
The estimates for the Atchison Topeka
& Santa Fe, which has its own lines from
Chicago to San Francisco, is at least SIS
00o daily, including the lines which turn
over traffic to 1T at Chicago The con-
tribution of the Gould system, together
with the lines which deliver traffic to
it is estimated to be $4,000 daily. Ac-
cordingly, it Is said the railroads are
performing free of cost a service daily
which has commercial value of at least
$115,000 and this service will continue for
at least thirty days The relief trains are
being run on passenger train schedules,
thus adding to the expense. TO trans
port train of provisions from Chicago
to San Francisco on this sort of schedule
would cost a shipper between 50, 900 and
$4,000.

CAMP ON SLOPING GROUND
Sanitary Conditions at Fort Mason
Are Fairly Good.

San Francisco, April 29.-At Fort Ma
son there is little misery on account of
the cold rain. About 5000 people are
encamped there and on account of the
sandy and sloping ground sanitation is
not bad. Food is plentiful and of a
fair variety.
The health of the refugees at this
place is as good as can be expected IN
der the circumstances. There is some
general sickness, but on account of the
s comparatively perfect sanitary cOndi-
tons. there is no danger of any sort of
epidemic
This is one of the largest camps in
the city. The inha bitants here are
made up mostly of those from the poor
er quarters. About half of them are
living under frail shelters of sheets and
blankets. which keep off neither rain
nor wind. The entire basin between
Fort Mason and the Presidio is filed
with refugees.
There is acute suffering at Carville
caused by scarcity of food and poor
shelter. There are 300 native inhabi-
tants of this section and 200 refugees

WALLS MAY BE WEAKENED
Rains Further Increase the Danger
to Life and Limb.

San Francisco, April 23-It was
feared by many that the heavy rains
of last night had weakened the walls
left standing in the burned district and
further increased the danger of life
and limb, but assurance was given at
the headquarters of the building COM
mittee this morning that the downpour
had no such effect Under the direc-
ton of this committee walls are being
dynamited and the danger instead of
increasing is lessening every hour. In
regard to the work that is being done
Committeeman W. H. Leahy said at
noon today:
General Funston has placed mis- dy-
Mantle corps at our disposal and they
are working under our direction, throw
ing down dangerous walls along Mar
ket street. When we have made this
thoroughfare safe from Seventh street
to the ferry we will dvote our atten-
ton to the side streets, keeping up the
work until We have covered all the
streets in the business district. How
ever, we will not touch walls standing
back sn lots or any walls that have
supports. These must be attended to
by the property owners. Neither will
we do any dynamiting in bank build
ings. Such explosions might play hav-
Oc with safes and vaults and we will
take no chances of causing further
loss"
