True Now as Then.

The San Francisco Call of Sunday,
April Is, has reached New York. One
week ago this morning the Call was
discussing the future of San Francisco.
1t was then saying:
Our destiny is upon us. We can
not escape it. San Francisco has an
impetus that nothing can check Cos
mopolitan, uttering more languages
than made the confusion of Babel,
combining the energies and the arts of
many peoples, the meeting place of
the Occident and the Orient, with the
picturesque features of both, this city
is emerging into literature and rising
to her inheritance and opportunity"
We reproduce this passage in order
to express our profound conviction
that every word of it holds good after
the disaster that befell San Francisco
on the following Wednesday.
1t is all true now for exactly the
same reasons that made it true when
first written. San Francisc0's destiny
is hers, she has an impetus that moth
ing can check, and she will arise to
her Inheritance and opportunity

SONOMA WILL

Service

Resumed.
Destruction of Pa
pGrS Cause OF
Delay.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
Australian service will be resumed
May 81, when the liner Sonoma will
take her departure for Honolulu, Pago
Pago, Auckland and Sydney.
The Sonoma will carry a large num-
Der Of passengers for Honolulu and
some are already booked for the Anti
podes. The Ventura, also in port, will
follow the Sonoma on a date which
will be duly advertised
The Sonoma's detention in port was
one Of the many disarrangements re-
sulting from the earthquake and fire.
In the first place the British-Austra-
Ian mails, on their way here when
the disaster occurred, were diverted to
British Columbia and sent to Austria
liza by one of the Union Steamship
Ccmpany's liners.
The fire, which destroyed both the
passenger and freight offices Of the
Oceanic Steamship Company, reduced
to charcoal the bills of lading and
other papers necessary in the distri-
button at the various ports Of call of
the Sonoma's cargo. Records, without
which 1t would have been useless for
the vessel to sail, had to be dupli-
Gated. AS the records were numerous
and the data vague and difficult Of ac-
cess from which the new ones were
made the task was a long one.

WORKS BOARD DOES
NOT KNOW HOW FAR
ITS POWERS REACH

The most important topic under dis
cussion at yesterdays meeting Of the
Commissioners Of Public Works was
how far the citizens committees had
usurped the functions Of the board. 1t
was decided 10 allow matters to take
their course for the present, until juris-
dictiOnal lines are more closely drawn.
Secretary Levy was directed to re-
quest the Supervisors to make a $4,000
appropriation TO pay for the construc-
ton OF a building to serve as tempo
rary headquarters for the board. The
structure viii be reared on the Cove
street School site.
? The secretary was ins rncied to ask
Mayor Schmitz &C allow City Architect
Shea TO confer with the committee an
pointed to revise the building laws.
Shea was directed to inspect all the
bond issue buildings TO see how much
they had been damaged.
The City Engineer was instructed to
ascertain what extra expense would
accrue on bond issue work. The same
official was rendered a resolution of
thanks for his successful efforts to save

An inspection OF the Fourth and

ports that practically all lines have

The lack Of water is the only reason fo-
the order prohibiting the general use of

The apparent conflict % authorize ha-
tween the citizens bureau Of building
and the Board OF Public Works has
proved more Of a scare than ANYTHING
else. Under the Mayors proclamation
no permits are necessary for the con-
struction OF one-story buildings. The
Board Of Works has issued no permits
whatever. The building committee has
issued permits which are nothing more
than Identification papers for the in
formation Of the military authorities.
Each permit shows that the holder has
the right to delve in the debris on a
particular site and to erect a tempo
rary structure.

Gotham Insurance Men
Discuss San Fran
cisco Losses.
Differing Views as to the
Percentage That Will
Be Paid.

NEW YORK, May A return
flow Of the millions of dollars sent to
the Pacific Coast during the past fort
night has set in. The National City
Bank was today advised that its cor
respondent at Oakland has arranged
to transfer $50O,0OO by telegraph to this
city, and other banks and financial
institutions have received similar ad-
vices.
Some fire insurance men, frightened
by the losses in San Francisco, started
an agitation yesterday to make the
form of insurance contracts more
companies was approached by man
who wants the contracts in the future
to read that losses caused only by
earthquake cannot be recovered. In
other words, no insurance would be
paid on fire loss which was caused
by fire started in some other struct-
ure by an earthquake.
Il do not believe there is any chance
of such restrictions being placed in
contracts said the president. You
might as we'll except losses Indirectly
due to tornadoes or. blizzards. New
York might have burned up at the time
Of the great blizzard, but it would not
have been right to have such situa-
tion inyalidate the insurance"
Several kilograms were received yes
terday from officials and representa-
tives Of insurance companies who have
reached San Francisco. One expressed
the opinion that the companies would
rot get rid of more than Is per cent
o. their liabilities from the burned dis
trict through the action of the earth
quake. Other estimates ranged from
that TO 40 per cent.
Nothing definite was decided yester-
day on the proposition that the COM
panies get together and pay about 60
per cent of the claims within thirty
days, rather than have long litiga-
tion over them.
Efforts. are being made to induce
some of the big life insurance COM
panies to assist in financing the re-
building Of San Francisco. Within a
few days Il leading business man of
that city has been here on that mis-
sion, but SO far as could be learned
he has not been successful While the
companies undoubtedly will be willing
to loan money on individual parcels
OF property which may be considered
good security, it is not believed that
any of them would be willing to go
into any sort Of syndicate

CHEZ 500 LOWE
NOW A PRIVATE
Chinese Captain OF
Cadets Loses
Sword.
Accused of Having
FOrSdkGn His
Post.

BERKELEY, May 4.-Chee 500
Lowe, a senior at the State Univer-
sity and until today a captain of the
university cadets, has been deposed
from his place in the military depart
ment. He is reduced to the ranks and
is IN disgrace. His epaulettes are
gone. There is indignation, accord
ingly, among the contingent of Chi
nese students at the university.
Chez 500 Lowe is charged by Cap
tain J. T. Nance with having forsaken
his post of duty This is according
10 Chez 500 Lowe. Captain Nance de-
clines to discuss the matter, content
ing himself with the posting of bull
letin at the armory announcing that
Mr.. Chez, former captain, is now plain
Private Lowe.
The fact that the deposing of the
- Chinese student captain is the first In
stance of that sort of thing to occur
at the university has added to the ex-
element originally created by the
news that a university cadet captain
had been disgraced by reduction TO
the ranks.
Chez 500 Lowe was officer of the
guard on April q, when the cadets
were guarding the university grounds
and patroling the town. He sent his
corporals out TO call in the men at
a. m, and declares that the corpor-
ais blundered in not waiting until the
squad Of fresh sentrymen came on the
scene. Captain Nance found that Cap
tain Chez 500 Lowe had left the cam
pus unprotected, no one being on duty,
and promptly called for an explana-
ton. Captain loves explanation was
deemed insufficient He was informed
that he had committed the worst Of
fense that could be charged against
a soldier. He had "forsaken his post
of duty and left his field unprotected.
He was deprived of his peacock feath-
er and gold braid at once.
The Chinese students believe that
their countryman has been harshly
treated, and, as they were rather
proud Of Chez 500 loves position Of
authority among the cadets, they are
inclined to carry the case to the high
est authorities at the university in the
hope that Chez may be restored to his
rank

In communication from the Audi
tor to the Board of Supervisors the

oO0, was given on which to base the
estimate for the coming year. In the
new budget the money estimated as
required for public improvements was
segregated as follows:
Improvement of Point Lobos road.
$175 000; cleaning and sprinkling
streets, $300,000; Improvement of
county roads, $4,000; repairs to ba-
salt and cobble pavements, 10000:

way $2S,OO0; permanent improve

In addition to the foregoing improve
mentS resolution was adopted ask
ing the California representatives in
Washington to urge upon the Govern
ment the immediate appropriation of
sums for the repair of Federal build
ings
The board has two places under
consideration for the erection of a
temporary City Hall and another for
rental Of floor space for the same pur-

COMMISSION SEEKS
new QUARTERS FOR
POLICE DEP PARTNENT
Members of Board Discuss Plan to
Have City Prison and Headquar-
ters on Portsmouth Square.
Mayor Says Supervisors Will Desig-
nate Place Where Municipal
Branches Are to Be Located.
Resignation of PatroIman BurkhoIder,
Who Was to Have Been Dismissed
From Position, Is Accepted.

AT yesterdays meeting of the Police
Commission Commissioner Reagan
suggested that President Poheim and
Chief Dinan be delegated to arrange
for suitable temporary quarters for a
city prison and police headquarters.
He thought the most suitable location
would be Portsmouth square. The OBJ
lection to Union square was that build
/ ing operations on an extensive scale
would commence around the square
soon and all the available space would
be required for building material.
That objection did not apply to Ports
mouth square. The cost of a tenn
porary building would not exceed two
or three months rent for a building to
be leased.
Commissioner O'Grady said he had
spoken to the Mayor on Thursday
night at the request of the chief as
to erecting building on Union square
and the Mayor said he would give the
matter full consideration in a day or
two.
The Police Department would have
TO go where the Board of Supervisors
decided, the Mayor said. He prom
ised to lay Commissioner Reagans
suggestion before the Mayor and the
matter was dropped.
Chief Dinan was seen after the
meeting and he is of the same opin-
ion that Union square is the most
suitable location. Portsmouth square,
he says, is too far away at the pres
ent time.
A letter was read from Policeman
w. H. Burkholder from Lodi rendering
his resignation. He left the city on
the day Of the earthquake with his
wife without notifying his superior Of
ficer. The Commissioners had made
up their minds to compel him to stand
his trial and to dismiss him from the
force, but on second thought they de-
cided TO accept his resignation.
The board went into executive ses-
sion after the open meeting. The sub
ject under discussion was the issu-
ance of permits to sell liquor Under
the charter permits have to be issued
every three months, but in view of
the present unsettled condition the
rule was adopted that all holders in
good standing would receive their
permits at the proper time.
President Poheim and Commissioner
O'Grady wanted to place themselves
on record that any holder of a license
violating the recent order not to sell
even soft drinks within their prem
ises would not receive their votes for
a renewal. AS it requires three votes
for a permit or renewal this would
mean that the offender would lose his
license.

FINDS BREADLlNE MORE
ATTRACTIVE THAN WORK
Idle Giant Who Refuses Job on Water
Front Is Thrashed by Po-
liceman.

Policeman Thompson Of the Harbor
police force Thursday thrashed a
healthy giant whose muscles have
kept him in the van of the breadline,
but who is too strong to work A
merchant appealed to Thompson short
ly after 10 o'clock for information as
TO where he could find laborers. He
wanted fifteen men, he said, to pile
lumber. He could offer steady en-
ployment and was willing to pay So
day.
While the lumberman was speaking
to the policeman the aforementioned
giant hove in sight
Here's a man." said Thompson.
Il heard him kicking the other day
about not being able to get anything
TO do. He's big and strong and just
what you want"
The policeman called the man and
asked him if he wanted job.
What doing?" queried the giant.
Thompson told him and acquainted
him with the rate of wage.
Guess | don't have to work just
now. Things suits me as they are
/ amt looking for no hard graft when
l can get all the grub l want any
how"
Thompson told the man what he
thought of him.
1T amt none of your business"
was the giants retort. 1.-The Govern
ment's feeding me just now and I'm
going to let it,"
L ought to. lock you up for vag-
gancy," said Thompson, rolling up the
cuffs of his coat, but if l had place
to lock you it would only save you the
trouble of standing in line at meal
times. I'm going to lick you"
He did. He made a good job of it.
The giant got more exercise in three
minutes than he would have in two
days at the lumber pile and in addi-
ton is out SO.
There is plenty work for all labor
ers, but the breadline habit in many
cases appears TO have killed all de-
sire to labor, except theoretically. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
the lumberman secured the help he
wanted, and those who refused his
offer were all idle and well fed.
