DOGS WERE FOUND
 GNAWING BODIES
This Was the First Intimation to Off cals That Human Beings Were
 Still In the Wreckage.

San Francisco. April 24-One of the gruesome scenes that has followed the fire was that witnessed on Telegraph and Russian hills and along the entire north beach front of the city this morn ing when scores of half-starved dogs were found eating human bodies. The animals were found gnawing and tearing at the corpses half-buried in the ruins Where only a leg or an arm protruded the dogs were digging for the rest of the body. Men who had been sent into the ruins of homes to look for what little property might have escaped tho flames, came upon this slokening condition and immediately reported it to the naval officers in com mand of the water front military dis tricts.
 In response to their appeal that some thinng be done. blue jackets were de- tailed to cover the sections designated and kill all dogs found in these yicinlties. All morning rifle reports could be heard on the hillside and along the beach as dogs were killed. Men were pressed into service either to bury the carcasses of the dogs or throw them into the bay.
 In a few places smouldering fires were found and then it was possible to cre-

GEN. GREELY PRAISES
 WORK OF FUNSTON
Thousands Are Leaving the City and the Supply of Provisions Will
 Have to Be curtailed.

Washington, April 2L-Maj. Gen. A. N. Greedy. commanding the department of the Pacific, in telegram to the war department. received over night, an nounces his arrival at San Francisco Sunday night, and that he had assumed command.
 The dispatch praises General Funston, and says that it is due very largely to General Funstons energy judgment and tact that there has been a minimum of violence even under most distressing conditions. The situation, he says, im- presses him as renecting the greatest credit on the courage and, patience Of the afflicted people of San Francisco. He estimates that more than 25,O0O peo- pie have left the city during the past twenty -four hours. Present indications point to largely decreased demands the coming week, owing to rapid removal of inhabitants to country and adjacent towns. Relief trains are arriving daily, and he says the facilities for feeding the destitute have greatly improved since the arrival yesterday of twenty-eight cars sent by the Chamber of Commerce relief committee of Los Angeles. and provided with cook arrangements, capable of caring for 1500O persons.

 Wants Business Resumed.
 With that end in view he has reeom- mended that all smaller dealers haVing stores in the unburned district shall at once throw open their doors. and as an incentive he has promised them full pro- lection.
 aFrom our investigation, said MT. Cooner. Eve know that there are thous- ands of people in this city who are able and willing to pay for their supplies. If the dealers in butter eggs, flour and other staples should resume buslness' IL would do much to re-establish confidence and put the city on it's former business basis.

Will Work HarmoniousIy.

San Francisco, April 24.-1t was an nounced at the meeting of the general committee today that pr. Devine. who has placed in charge of the Red Cross work. had arrived. and would immediately confer with Mayor Schmitz. There seemed some fear on the part of the committee that President Roosevelt's instructions. turning over matters to pr. DeVine, would put the municipal committee in the back ground but the committee has been as sured by Congressman Kahn that Dr, De- vine has been sent to cooperate. United States Circuit Judge Morrow made the same statement. saving that he had been in communication with Secretary Taft by telegraph. The relief and supply com- mittees have reported that all refugees are being cared for. and there Is plenty of food.

 and Beauty

Beauty is the external proof of health; with failing health comes failing beauty. Won- ans delicate organism is ire quently over-taxed by arduous household duties, and the de- mands of society. The con- stant drain upon her vitality weakens her nervous system. The penalty is tired, worm out, exhausted condition which destroys her appetite, robs her of rest, and at intervals causes much suffering and distress. When these conditions exist, the weakened nerves must be strengthened. Dr.Miles'Nervine will do this. It stimulates the action of all the organs, brings refreshing sleep, and drives away that look of care. .T have taken pr. Miles Restorative NerVlne TOT years, ds Olu my nOtner before me. Whenever l feel tired, worn-out, CT have headache, always take the Nervine and 1t strengthens me. I consider it a great remedy for nervousness or debility"

ALDERMEN TO ACT IN MAYORS PLACE
JOHN FORNEY WILL BE MAYOR UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT-AL- GERMAN DWELL WILL THEN TAKE THE REINS.

When Mayor George B. Ward shook the coal dust of Birmingham from his feet last night as he boarded a train for New Orleans, John Forney. alderman from the Sixth ward. became the chief executive.
 The alderman will preside over the eity's destinies until midnight tomorrow night, when he will be succeeded by Alderman John w ONeill. The exact length of time that the latter alderman will pre- side is doubtful, for the real Mayor Is apt to return Saturday, or he may finger in the Crescent City until Sunday
 Anyway for three or four days he has shifted the burden of responsibility of a great city on to the shoulders of two of the aldermen. and Alderman Forney says he is glad to have the job for even that short time. as he never expects to get it except under just such circumstances.

WOULD LAY TRACK
 TO REMOVE DEBRIS
Southern Pacific Offers to Haul Away All the Waste Material Free
 of Charge.

San Francisco. April 2l-A welcome to the officials and citizens of San Francisco who have looked upon the ruins of the city and upon the monstrous piles or brick and stone and twisted iron that was once their homes and places of busi- ness, is the announcement that the South ern Pacific Railway will aid in any way in the work of carrying away the debris.
 The railroad officials are ready to build track through the heart of the devas- tated city from Harrison street to the bay, and run their flat ears for the wreckage that must be removed before new buildings can arise. and normal con- ditious be restored. In this great work it is announced that between 5000 and 4000 men will be employed. The railroad will carry the debris wherever the au- thorities want it taken, and by so doing will make possible the performance of the enormous task that has been terri fying to those who looked forward to it with the knowledge that 1t must be done, however tremendous.
 It is said an application will be made immediately to the supervisors of San Francisco for a franchise for this track. The lines of least resistance and under the express stipulation that they shall be removed as soon as the work of clear ing away tho wreckage of earthquake and fire has been completed.
 Hartman Is on Hand.
 E. II. Hartman president of the South ern Pacific company, is here to inaugu- rate the work and to sec that it is faith fully performed, if the suggestion of the railroad men meets with favor at the hands of the city officials.
 At the meeting of bankers it was said MT Hartman stated that he would do all in his power and work every resource at his command for the rebuilding of San Francisco and the preservation Of the city's good name. His remarks to the bankers bolstered their hopes. and gave them new courage by contradictng, as it were the rumors for several days prevalent, that the railroad offices and interests would all be permanently re- moved to Oakland.
 Just when the work of removing the debris will be begun is not known
 Business affairs are now in too chaotic a condition to go about anything but the preservation of order the maintenance of sanitary conditions. and the alleviation of the sufferings of the homeless thousands No doubt, however, the railroad will lose no time in beginning the work it stands ready to do In connection with the sclear- ance of the wreokage the employment of several thousand men will, in great meas ure. reunite scattered and separated fam flies, and enable them to earn their own living.
