early opening would endanger their
periShable contents, and in order that
this may be avoided. some weeks must
elapSe until they are thoroughly cooled
off before they are entered. And in the
meantime business will be done at tenn
porary quarters with money furnished
through the medium of the mint and
the United States Sub-trea Sury officials
Military rule by the police, irksome
at all times to the civilian, is still
maintained. Yet there is some ameli-
Grafton of its severity. The soldiery of
the militia having given some cause of
complaint by mpreSsing men when it
was necessary that work should be
done, they were warned this evening in
letter sent by Mayor Schmitz to
General Roster that this city was
never and has never been under mar
tial law, and that the impreSSment of
citizens would not longer be tolerated
There is little disposition here to be
critical of those who have had the
policing of the city, but this will not
be unwelcome news to the citizens of
the city.
Apprehension Removed.

Interesting SideIights.
Many sidelights of an interesting
character might be thrown on the sit
uation here, but without question that
which strikes one most is the equality
upon which the millionaireS and the
pauper stand today in this commu-
nifty To see the man of means shoulder
ing the poverty stricken laborer
in the long queues extending from the
bake-shOps where the bread is dis
penSed is almost as much of a spec
tacle as was the great fire itself

man were married by Superior Judge
Lawler at the Justices residence, 212O |
jackson street, today. At the time of |
the earthquake Miss Sussman had been
in hospital for three days in prepara-
ton for an operation for appendicitis |

operation was deferred and Arnstein !

their honeymoon. A marriage license |
was secured In Alameda county and
the ceremony performed by Judge |
Lawler. Arnstein is the son of a |
New York banker. His bride is the |

Small Loss of Life.
At a joint meeting this afternoon of |
the finance committee and the chair |
men of all the emergency committees
it was ascertained that the loss of life |
caused by the catastrophe is estimated |
at less than 800. This approximation |
was made by Fairfax Wheelan, chair |
man of the relief of sick and wounded |
committee, and surprised everyone |
present, as estimates of 1000 and more |
had been made by the coroner's office |
1t was also aScertained that the ex-
penses incurred by the different COM |
mittees in carrying on their divers |
duties are thus far considerably less |
than expected. The statement of Fair /
fax Wheelan that all physicians and |
nurses had volunteered their services |
and refused emolument was greeted /
with cheers by the committee men,
bers present Several committee |
chairmen present announced that they
had carried on work laid out for them /
without mourning any expense.

will return, while other roads will |
maintain offices both here and across /
the bay
