Request for the Removal of the Guards
 men StirS Governor Pardee to Anger
A Heated Conference With the Mayor Who Explained That He had OnFv Sought to Avert Clash of Author ty With Federal Troops.

San Francisco. April 26.-Governor Pardee visited San Francisco today, when he attended a conference be- tween General Greedy Mayor Schmitz. Dr. Divine of the Red Cross, and mem bers of the citizens committee of fif- ty, who are advising the mayor. Gov ernor Pardee today brought up the question of the request of Mayor Schmitz and his committee for the withdrawal of the national guard from the city. The governor spoke highly in favor of the national guard and re- ferred to the splendid service its mem bers had done in the war with Spain. He stated that he considered the re- quest as a reflection upon well or ganized and efficient body of men. Tn" governor said that he was very indig~ nant over the attitude taken against the guard and charges preferred against them In fact. he was so warm over the matter that he thought it best not to make any further remarks.
 Mayor Schmitz immediately replied that ne and his committee had not made any charges against the guard. On the contrary, he thanked the gov ernor for their services. If charges had been made, they were made by outside people. The object in making the request TOT the NlliluTaWdi oL lAic troops was to concentrate the control of the city in the federal troops and prevent misunderstanding and con flict of orders.
 Major General Greedy stated that su far as he knew there was no conflict of authority and that as a United States army officer, he could not as sume charge of the state militia. The mayor was tle head of the city, and every request made by him had been followed and he would continue to rec Ognize the authority, of the mayor in giving instructions for the safety of the people. The civil authority was superior to the military and tne mayor is the only head he will recognize. The state troops have not yet been with drawn. and the meeting adjourned without any announcement that they would be.

 DESCRIBES PHOENIX
The Late Visit of the Commercial
 Association.

The April number of Chicago" has been received b"-a number of Phoenix people and one article in it is. of local interest to all Phoenix people. Chi cago" is known as magazine of busi- ness and. is devoted almost exclusively to the exploitation of that great central market It will be remembered that early this year a large party of the members of the Chicago Commercial association made a western tour from that city to the coast and return, wis iting Phoenix during the tour Twelve pages of the magazine are devoted to a description of the tour and are en- livened by many appropriate illustra- tions Concerning the brief stay in Phoenix. the article says:
 At noon the. delegat ton left Los An geles for Phoenix, Ariz., reaching the latter city on the morning of February 1. A committee was at once on hand with carriages: M. c. McDougaH, c. F. Ainsworth, Shirley Christy, I. w. Dor ris, Charles Goldman, H. I. Latham, and NJ o. Bicknell. Under the direc- tfon of these gentlemen call was made on. Territorial Governor Joseph H. Kib- bey, where the freedom and frankness of the region that gave birth to the Rough Riders made everyone feel at home.
 "In turn, the model Adams stock ranch, the ostrich farms, and the gov ernment Indian school were visited. At the latter place Assistant Superinten- dent Snyder had his several hundred charges in dress parade. and visitors drove before the bronzed and black haired charges to ripple of ingenious smiles and more overt salutations. In the hour or more before the departure of the train, calls were made on the business men. Secretary Van der Veer was present at the train with litera- ture. a final farewell, and box of Ari- zona oranges. While in the country the visitors were shown the distant mountain ranges wherein the big new irrigating dam is to be constructed aI cost of s2,5OO.O 900, and assured that when this was finished and controlling it's five years water supply.

The Formulation of System for the Dis
 tributiOn of the Fund
The Wholesale Men of San Francisco Decline the Att tractive Invitation of Oakland to Move in a Body That Side of the Bay.

San Francisco. April 26.-What to do ! with the immense amount of money that has been contributed to the relief of San Francisco's, homeless was the question that received earnest -consid- eration by. all those now. engaged in this all important work. Sa many in Quiries had come to the heads of the various departments civil and military all asking for and y~whom the money so generously contributed, would be expended, that the Associated Press was asked to communicate to the country at large the plan for disburs- ing the. funds. and the assurance that every dollar would be put to the use for which it was intended.
 While the complete details for dis bursting and accounting for the inn mense sum of money already contrib uted have not been formula ted, they have been thoroughly discussed in the committee and may be briefly stated as follows: All expenditures will be authorized by the finance committee of the citizens and Red Cross. The | members of this committee are repre- | sentative bankers. business men and | jurists of San Francisco, and pr. De- vine Of the National Red Cross socie- 1 ty This committee will audit all ac- ] counts ana make d uClalleQ EcpOIl No the war department, where a final audit will be made.
 At noon today the distribution of | food to the city of San Francisco was formally turned over to the United 1 States army, which will act under the
 system already described. Under this
 system. many of the abuses that have ! prevailed in the giving out of supplies by the star local and outside relief ] organizations. each of which acted in | dependentiy Of the others, will be dis
 continued, and tne direction of all sta , tions viii be centralized in the depot | of the quartermaster of the United States army at this. post under Major Drayo.
 The impression seems to have pre- vailed in New York, Washington and ! othern eastern cities, that there had
 been friction over the matter of dis tributing supplies, was corrected today by pr. Divine, agent of the Red Cross society, w1ao informed the proper per
 sons in those cities that absolute har-
 mony prevailed and that the work was
 being carried on to the entire satisfac-
 tion of everybody.

 Significance is Attached.

There was a long discussion over the advisabillty of starting a number of the electric street railway systems. The committee did not feel that all danger of fire from this source was passed.
 Captain Payson, of the water com mittee, reported that a number of the citys most important reservoirs had been either entirely destroyed, or very badly damaged, and the water pipes were in no condition to meet the de- mand put upon them. There was no storage of water for fire purposes, and consequently no means of protec-
 tion against fire if it should break out
 at this time.
 Chairman James D. Phelan made a
 statement for the finance committee.
 He said that the plan for the handling
 of the relief fund as outlined in Pres
 ident Roosevelts proclamation of the day before was perfectly satisfactory
 to the finance committee. He stated
 that the efeforts being made were to centraliZe the control of the fund in
 the hands of one body. Governor Par dee then turned over to him the con trol of such contributions as had been
 sent daily to the governor and General Funston also formally surrendered the $35. .OO0 remaining unused of the $5O,- 900 contributed by the Guggenheim in tereSts
