Looking For Her Father.

DR.. S. Trask of the Lafayette Square
Medical Service, sent Viola Kelley( a
girl 16 years of age to police headquar-
ters Thursday afternoon as she had
been wandering around the square. The
girl said she had been working for q
family named Dehosa at Seventh and
Bryant streets at the time of the fire
and they took her to Petaluma. She left
there and came to Berkeley stopping
with friend at 1909 Edith street who
refused yesterday morning to keep her
longer. Her father, William Kelley, a
hackman, lived on Post street between
Taylor and Jones before the fire and
she wanted to find him. Chief Dinan
sent her to the Sisters Of the Holy Fam
lily, Hayes and Fillmore streets and an
effort will be made to find her father.
She is suffering from skin disease
which DR.. Trask said was not con-
tagious.

SAN BRUNO SECTION
IN FULL ACTIVITY
District Was But Slightly Affected by
the Great Shock of the 18th
of A1riI


the Great Shock of the 18th
of April.
In what Is designated as the San
Bruno section SO littls damage was
done that one would no, know that
there had been a shake. On the San
Bruno road south from Army street
sawmills. laundries, tanneries, soap
works and general business are car
ried on with the same activity as
three weeks ago.
The street cars are running from
Twenty-sixth and Mission streets to
Golden City.
The car house at Twenty fourth and
San Bruno avenue, q large one-story
brick structure, was badly shattered.
While the walls are still standing, the
greater portion viii havo to be taken
down.
The st. Catherine Home and Training
School on Potrero avenue. formerly the
Magdalen Asylum, is In remarkably
good condition. the only damage being
the falling out Of chimneys and one
gable end. The laundry sustained the
greatest damage, but that has been
put into condition again. and all In
that institution Is in normal condition.
The institution Is fortunate in having
an artesian we'll and two tanks, with q
capacity of $4,000 and $4,000 gallons re-
spectively. This proved a blessing to
the people, as during the first two
days Of the disaster the good sisters
in charge supplied many with water.
To the limit Of their capacity the sis
ters supplied clothing ard supplies to
the most needy.
At Seventeenth street and Potrero
avenue there is on the grounds OF the
Spring Valley Water Company a large
camp Of refugees, many Of whom have
erected shanties In which to live.

Theodore Kytka, handwriting ex-
pert, reported at police headquarters
Wednesday afternoon that two militia
men, members Of company E, First
Regiment, had broken into his resi-
dence at 2405 Howard street on Mon
day. They made thorough search
for coin or jewelry, but found none,
he said. They took from the labora-
tory two pistols and also revolver
belonging to Kytka's watchman. They
also broke into two adjoining houses.
Kytka said he has two witnesses who
can Identify the militiamen. He said
he complained to Captain Choynsh,
who did not believe that the offnders
were militiamen, but boys dressed in
discarded uniforms Of the guards.
Kytka added that residents In his
neighborhood have become SO in
censed by the depredations Of thieves
and burglars that they have engaged
the services Of two armed men, with
instructions to shoot any one caught

Union Trust, Mercantile and crocksr-
Wooiworth Companies for Re-
sumption of Business.
The safe deposit vaults OF the Union
Trust Company. the Crocker- Wool
worth National Bank and the Mercan-
tile Trust Company will be opened next
Monday. This course was decided upon
Thursday after the experts had re-
ported that the vaults In these banks
have cooled sufficiently 10 make 1t safe
to open the doors and t., permit rent
ers OF safes to take ous their personal
property. The vaults Of tho three
banks mentioned are all in Easements.
Two are on Market street. The Mer-
camille Trust Company vault is on Cali
fornia street, opposite the Merchants
Exchange building.
Many thousands OF dollars will be re-
leased and put into circulation by the
opening Of the vaults. Il being the Gus
tom of many persons to keep money
In vaults where It Is easily accessible
Vaults other than those mentioned may
be opened by the end OF next week.
Against the impatience OF property
owners to inspect their belongings the
determination Of the bankers to have
no needless risk taken Is interposed.
Every safe deposit vault in the city
that has been used for some time may
be described fairly as filed with valu-
able papers, deeds, contracts. wills and
such documents, that mean much to
owners. Hundreds Of thousands of
dollars and estates are therefore con-

GERS Ask for New Quarters for Their
City Attorney and Other Municipal Off
Forces.
The Board Of Public Works was no
titled yesterday by the Boaord of Su-
pervisors to remove from public lands
all buildings not used for sheltering and
feeding the homeless. The Park Com
mission will be notified to consider like
action regarding business houses being
set up in the parks of the city.
After wordy debate between Super
visors Rea and Gallagher over reso-
luton introduced by the former to en-
power Chief Dinan to grant permits to
property owners to remove debris, Rea
claimed that the soldiers interfered with
property owners by visiting their places
while Gallagher maintained that the
resolution practically meant the with
drawal Of the troops. This Rea indig-
nantly denied.
Supervisor Wilson said that removal
of debris should not take place until the
tenants had had opportunity to remove
their valuables from the ruins. The
matter was referred to the Street Com
mittee Of the Board which was instruct
ed to confer with the Mayor and Major
General Greeley regarding the matter.
Moller & Sass requested lease Of
ecity property at 629 California street
and the privilege of erecting a temper
ary building. They were notified to
communicate with the Building Com
mittee.
William Taafe & Company notified
the Board that it has been supplying
city institutions with beef. The firm
requests an order from the Board for
continued supply as there seems to be
question as to whether the former con-
tractor, 81. CaiIleand can fulfill his
agreement. The matter was referred
to the Committee on Hospitals and
Health.
The offer Of the Reverend Josept P.
McQuaide to the city Of st, Roses
Academy as a temporary City Hall at
price to be fixed by the Board, was
referred to the Building Committee.
City Attorney Burke in response to
communication notified the Board that
the rental of his Office could be fixed by
the Board. The staff retained by the
City Attorney comprises five assistants,
two clerks, two stenographers, messen-
ger and police officers. City litigation
will have to be begun anew as all rec
ords are destroyed and the City Attor-
ney asks for larger force.
The Board of Works has requested
$4,000 for the erection Of temporary
quarters on Grove street between Polk
and Larkin. The Board of Election
Commissioners has asked the supervis
ors to take steps toward protecting 80
voting machines that escaped the flames
at Eighteenth and Division streets.

The newspapers of Mayaguez echo
very grave rumors which have beer
circulating for some days.
In the town of Rincon, where the
events lhave occurred, feeling is
deeply stirred.
According to the press, the folio
wing is what has occurred:
Some days ago, Hermenegilde Ma
ario, together with others, was re-
ccived in the jail at Rincon, all in
volved in a gambling case.
Hermenegildo escaped from the
jail shortly before midnight I'm
mediately, or shortly afterwards,
the alcaide was informed of the
escape, but in the light of sub
sequent events, it looks as if no
action was taken in the matter until
six o'clok in the morning, five hours
after the escape of the prisoner was
known!
Is it possible that there are no po-
linen in the above jail, nobody in
whose custody the prisoners are pla-
ced, no guards who could be sent in
pursuit of one who had escaped?
What was the alcaide doing during
the FIVE hours that elapsed between
the reporting of the escape and the
pursuit of the fugitive? What must
be the conditions in that jail7
But there is something still more
grave than what we have mentioned.
The body of the above prisoner
was found on the railroad track with
out life and showing evident signs OF
having been run over by the
wheels of the train.
The positive statement was imme-
diately made that it was a case OF
suicide or an accident, and the body
of the victim was buried, according
to the version Of the Mayagiez pa
pers, without any serious investigat
ion of the tragedy and without even
the holding Of an autopsy.
What has occurred in R:nc6n is
very strange, very surprising; but il
need snot be wondered at that the
rumors acquire importance and con
vey terror and alarm to the inhabit-
ants Of that town as we'll as those OF
other towns throughout the Island.
In the act upon which we are com
menting, there is. something hidden

| and mysterious which, without point
ing TO the preparation of a crime
gives rise to disturbing surmises.
And those suTmises, those SIS
lpicions which invade the minds of
those who give thought to the pee
uliar circumstances surrounding the
dramatic event under consideration
can only be calmed in part by those
concerned in the burial of the BODY
of the unfortunate refugee from the
Rincon jail.
And while we are occupied with
SO grave a matter, with ciIcumstan-
ces which point to the stupid manag-
ement of the penal institutions and
the defects in this branch of the pu-
bic service IN the greater part of the
towns Of the Island, we desire to call
the attention of the government to
the necessity of investigating as to
where the true responsibility lies for
the condition of things IN the Rincon
jail, to the acts of the alcaide of that
institution, to the organization of iails
IN general, and that it may be stated
officially, whether the acts that have
occurred in the above town are likely
to be repeated in other places.
The jails of the Island, for the
greater part, do not conform to the
conditions which should be found in
this class of institutions.
And it is highly necessary that
service SO important should receive
greater degree OF official attention.
The reports which We from time
to time receive regarding the mana
cement of the Insular iails are truly
Iamazing.
There are places in witch priso-
ner receives for his food the stiDul-
atcd sum Of ten Or twelve centavos.
sometimes less; and with this paltrv
amount he has to feed himself for
one day.
And this horrible system Of feed
ing is also employed 1T times with
the sick, in certain localities.
In the name of civilization and
humanity, remedy should be found
for these abuses and abnormalities
which offer sad illustration Of our
present primitive systems, of our
government and Of We who tolerate
them.
