question of the disposition of the

relief of the California earthquake
sufferers, saying that Tlllmaa. had
stated in the committee there seemed
to be some misapprehension on the
question.
Allison. chairman of the commit-
tee on appropriations, explained that
two appropriations had been made
|aggregating $4,000 900 but that
about s1.200,OO0 had already been
expended by the secretary of war be-
fore the first appropriation of one
million had been made. Unfortu-
nately, the call for help had come IN
the last quarter of the fiscal year
when appropriations for the pur-
chase of supplies for the war depart
ment were well nigh exhausted. rem
dering it necessary to make a prompt
refund of the money used. He add
ed that only about $500, 600 of the
total sum appropriated remains un-
expended but said that every dollar
would be used for the benefit of Cal
ifornia people who needed help.
Perkins had read a telegram today
sent by Secretary Taft 10 Phelan,
chairman of the san Francisco relief
committee explaining the situation in
detail. The action of the government
had aroused the admiration and graz
itude Of California people.
No further action was taken.

planning the attitude of this govern.
ment toward contributions from for

San Francisco, May a. Standing
in any of the many bread lines, one
may see curious and diversified hu-
manity in all its forms. One man,
richly dressed and known all over
California as one of the wealthiest
bankers OF the United States. stood
in his place. supporting himself with
his gold-headed cane.
When he reached the head OF the
line, and the soldiers ordered him
roughly to take his portion of btsad,
the old gentleman. with a smile of
satisfaction. took two loaves under
his arm and stepped contentedly
along the street toward his ruined
home. lie was |. w. Hellman, presi-
dent of more banks and trust corpo-

said that to receive those two loaves
of bread gave him more satisfaction
than to sell a whole city street rail-

Hiding Her Jewels.

Trudging down Market street, her
skirts dragging. her sealskin awry,
her left hand tied up in a handker-
chief, her face besmeared with SCOT
and perspiration, a handsome wom-
an was oyeyt3ken by man who had
hired a deliyers wagon to carry him
TO the ferry with the single suit case
he had managed to save from the
fire. o
He offered the woman a seat. but
she shrank from aim with a strange
terror. When ne said he was a news
paper man, the weary woman simply
leaned :6ward him with a sigh of re-
lief. and the young fellow lifted her
into the wagon.
AS they proceeded to the ferry she
told him her story. she unbou4d her
left hand. Gllttering. blazing in a
flood Of white light. were diamonds
mems rings and ladies' rings
crowded on every finger, and even
her thumb was tied with thread
that none should drop OF. She OPP
ened a small handbag which she car
ried and showed him a fortune in
beautiful jewelry and precious
stones. =
Afraid to ask for assistance, for
feat she might be robbed. or worse,
she was making her way slowly
down toward the ferry over the
bricks and the co5bles and piles of
rubbish, painting with fear and ex7
haustion.

How to Clcar a street.

One way to clear a street is to put
man at the end of the block with
a gun. loaded, qnlput another man
at the other end of the block with a
gun, loaded, and then for thE SER
geant to go down through the.trap
and make every idle man in it turn
to and work like blazes throwing
brick.
This method has been pursued ma
ny times :by the guards in clearing
Market street. In one of these rat
traps a man, known far and wide as
the handsomest police chief in the
United States. walked unsuspecting.
When he reached the burly sergeant.
he was told to get busy" He at
tempted TO explain that, owing 10 his
wealth and position. he never did any
work but the explanation seemed to
jar on the sensibilities of the SER
geant. :
He made one determined motion
with his bayonet, aud the handsom-
est and richest police chief in the
United States threw bricks so fast
that a friend who came with a gov
ernor's pass in his hands had great
difficulty in persuading him to quit,

consent 10 the. change.

CLAIM RICHMOND
is DARK INDOORS
Residents Complain Low
Gas Pressure Affects Use
of Stoves and Lights

Residents of the Richmond District
have been besieging the Offices of the
San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany- Protesting, fmploring and angry
housewives are asking the company to
furnish enough gas to run an ordinary
cook stove and light the remainder of
their houses. The stocks of lanterns
and candles at the corner groceries are
exhausted and alcohol burners and oil
lamps are in demand.
To judge from the expressions of the
irate women of the household and pro-
testing men, Richmond. after sunset.
is wrapped in Egyptian darkness with
IN doors. In order to cook the family
meal the neighbors meet and each
agrees to use the gas in turns so that
sufficient heat will be generated to
brown the hash. When the stove is
lighted in the domicile there is hardly
enough gas for illumination and pater-
familias goes without reading his Gus
tomary paper and the ranks of the
kickers are thereby augmented
In order to move about the house
according to the accounts of some. it
is necessary to light matches. Lamps
and candles are kept burning in order
to see the small glimmering light in
the derksome halls. Those who are so
fortunate as to have electricity in their
homes are now giving house parties
to which their cropping neighbors are
invited so that all may share the food
of light.
The officials of the company profess
to be at loss to know the cause of
the complaints. According to- their
view the service is admirable and ade-
quate.
