Hundred Million Dollars.
MATTER BEING CONSIDERED
RELIEF COMMITTEE WILL AC-
CEPT AID FROM FOREIGNERS.

San Francisco, May 1.-The first def
mite proposition for furnishing money on
a large scale TO San Francisco Sor the
purpose of rebuilding some of the burned
sections, was made public today when it
was announced that a syndicate of New
York capitalists had agreed to advance
SlJ00O0,O00. The news came in d telegram
received by w. f. Herrin. chief counsel
of the Southern Pacific, from United
States Senator Newiands of Nevada who
had a large interest in the burned Palace
Motel Senator Newlands stated that he
mad submitted the plan to the New York
financiers and that they had virtually
consented &c supply the money on a bond
New York people are not given. The
oIier IS under discussion by the local
finance committee.
Will Accept All Offers.
It was decided today that the citizens
committee would accept all offers of aid
from foreign countries. This decision
was reached when communication was
received through Japanese official sources
asking If the citizens would receive the
contribution of 100000 ven made bV the
emperor of Japan and declined by the
United States government. The finance
committee held that San Francisco, being
essentially cosmopolitan city, it was
Obliged 10 care for many destitute foreign
erS and that it would be proper, in these
circumstances, TO accept all outside ten
derS OF assistance.
The local money stringency was some
what relieved today by the banks resum-
ing business in a small measures through
the branch United States mint. Wen
known depOsitors were given certified
checks for small sums by the savings
banks and business clients of CONNER
Ciai banks were accommodated, if thew
so desired, with sums not exceeding $500
each.
Special Session Urged.
The subject of having a special session
Of the legislature called at an early day
IS beng earnestly considered by the gen
cral committee. The calamity San
Francisco has suffered will call for
many changes in California statutes and
IN the city charter, in order to permit of
new regulations in the matter of incur
ring Indebtedness, asking longer leases
etc, ana Governor Pardee Is being urged
10 convene the legislature in extra ses-
sion as early as possible.
The relief of the destitute was cOntfn-
ucd today under the new system devised
by DR.. Devine Of the National Red Cross
and the local authorities, and il is re-
ported that all unworthy and undeserving
persons will within a few days be elm
mated from. the lists of those entitled to
assistance.
Plans for establishing and maintaining
a large free employment bureau have
been perfected, and will be speedily put
into operation. Through this means il is
hoped to afford another channel for as
sistance and to distinguish the able adult
who Is willing to work from the man
who prefers 10 subsiSt on the generosity
of others.

Public School Entertain
 ment Attended by MaUy

The Christmas program at the public school yesterday, the last day oi schcol before the two weeks holiday vaca' tion, brought out the parents and friends of the school children in full force. The three rooms in which there were celebrations were filled to the extent of their capacities. It is estimated that more than 200 were present.
 The programs were excellent and their execution again emphasized the good results that are being secured at the school.
 The chief interest centered in the debate upon the resolution:
 Resolved. That children ShOuld be taught to believe in Santa Claus"
 The cause of good old Santa was stoutly championed by the Misses De Witt aud Nellie Orchard. The old myth which forms so mnch oL the rec affections of our childhood was very ably assailed by the Misses Viola Powell and Eleanor Leslie. The de cision was for the negative.
 The defenders of Santa Claus declared he causes the children to have greater interest and enjoyment in Christmas: that he gives the parents a greater control over the children because they can compel them to be good by saying that Santa only rewards the goo !; that be adds the beauty and imagery 10 the day that makes it something to look forward to with profound eN- pectations: that there is that about him that fits into child life with such ap' propriateneSs that it would be harmful 10 remove it,
 1 The opponents of santa SeJiorth mat 10 teacn that there is a Santa Claus that rewards the good children, IS to teach something that is not true and that all falsehOOds are harmful: that there is so much of the supernatural 1 about him that belief in him makes children superStitiOus: that when the awakening comes iJ causes great ldisapuoiuJmeny in the life of cbild, causing him to lose faith in all thai | is told him; that causes poor chlldrer 10 expect more than they can receive and to feel that they are neglected when they compare their lot with that of their richer neighbOrs in a way tha they are mol, and that in hiding presents from the children it cause' the parents 10 practice deception, and 10 teach lt.
 Eacl side made strong arguments or the merits of it's points.
