"We are in need" said Mir. Phelan, "and the country should not be led into the belief that millions are on hand to relieve the destitute people," Both Mir. Metcalf and MT. Devin endorsed MT. Phelan's remarks and volunteered to appraise Washington of the situation.
 The question of the use of the fed
 eral troops to assist in the preserva-
 ton of the peace and good order of the
 city developed a unauimity of opinion
 among the civil and military authori-
 ties Mayor Schmitz stated that the
 federal troops had given immeasurable
 assistance to the city since the disaster
 and he asked the committee formally
 to approve of his action in asking the
 military to take charge, and further more. that the committee request that the troops be permitted to remain was adopted.

BUCKEYE STATE JOINS
 AMI STANDARD WAR
Suit Brought for Dissolution Of Char
 ters Of Combined oil Companies.

Toledo, April 2S.-Alleging that the Standard oil company and seventeen affiliated companies have a secret trade agreement by which they control the production and transportation of oil and gas, Prosecutor L. w. Wachen- heimer of Lucas county today filed suit in the circuit court. asking a revocation of their charters and a dissolution of the illegal agreement.
 It developed today that Prosecutor Wachenheimer filed the suits against the Standard oil and other companies on behalf of the attorney general. This is especially significant, together with the announcement that the cases will be pressed with all possible dispatch. The fact that the state is behind the Toledo prosecutor in the action gives it a strength which otherwise it would not possess.

The Indian Appropriation Bill Passes the Senate Without the Restriction Removal Clause.

Washington. April 2S.-Mr. Will Hams, the minority leader of the house, concluded his speech begun yesterday on the Agricultural appropriation bill, occupying the floor for two hours. With the experience of the many in terruptions of the day before. the lea der of the minority threw himself up on the mercy of the body and asked that he be not interrupted. Generally his request was observed, but here and there questions were put to him which nettled the speaker not little. MT. Williams was unable to conclude on account of a severe attack of neural gia.
 MT. Cushman, of Washington, re- piled to MT. Williams but was taken off the floor before he had really got started. owing to the former action of the house agreeing to conclude the general debate on the bill at 3:3O o'clock. at which time the house ad- jOurned.

England Cannot See :the Sultan to
 Obtain Satisfaction.

London April 2S.-The patience of Great Britain with Turkey over the Tabah affair is about exhausted, and it was understood at the foreign office today that if the sultan does not soon accede to the British demands there will be another demonstration before a Turkish port within a short time. There will be an inquiry at Constanti- nople on the subject. Great Britain being first anxious to learn whether the sultan authorized the Turkish commis- sioner at Cairo to claim half of the Sina peninsula.
 This has been found to be most diff ficult. as the British ambassador has been unable to sec the sultan, who is either ill or feigning illness.
 Turkeys attitude is the cause of much irritation here. and the govern ment is prepared to take the most se- were measures to protect Egyptian ter- ritory.

The First Apostle Reeners Zion and Under An Order the Court He Will Hold Possession of the Tabernacle Today.

Chicago. April 2S.-'I am glad to be home again. With these words on his lips, John Alexander Dowie. the de- posed leader of the Cnristain- -Catolic church in America. this afternoon stepped within the portals of Shiloh house, thus completing his much ner- aided entry into Zion City, after an ab- sence of several months. during which time he had been deserted by a large part of his followers, and had been stripped of all ecclesiastical authority. Mrs. Dowie the wife of the first apos rle," met him at the door of Shiloh house and gave him a hearty welcome.
 Dowie's return to Zion City was void of all pomp and ceremony. Only a handful of people were at the station to greet him and many of these were women. As DowIe aligated from the train he was greeted by shouts of peace to thee" He responded with the customary ''peace to thee multi piled"

Unanimous Opinion That the Military
 Should Remain in Control
The Startling Announcement That of the & Voted By Congress Only $3ooooO Will Be Given In Cash to the San Francisco Relief Committee.

San Francisco, April 2S - Tho amount of money on hand for imme diate relief work and the continuance of the military control of the ciiy. subordinate to civil authority, were two of the most important subjects discussed in the daily meeting of the citizens committee of fifty, which. headed by Mayor Schmitz. now admin isters the affairs of San Francisco. Both developed some interesting phases and left in the minds of ali those striving to relieve the sOmewhae chaotic affairs of this unfortunate city. the necessity for two things, the strictest economy in the expenditure of the money now available and the ur- gent need of continued military assis- tance.
 The statement of James D. Phelan chairman of the finance committee of the citizens relief and the Red Cross funds, that he had been given to un- derstand by Victor H. Metcalf, the rep resentative of President Roosevelt. that only $500, 900 of the S2.50O,000 appro- priated by congress for the relief ol San Francisco was available and that this sum represented the extent of fi- nancial assistance that might be eX- pected from that source. caused a de cided sensation in the meeting. MT Phclan announced that Secretary OI War Taft had transmitted to his order $S00,00O. which he said, was the frs recognition the secretary mad made OI the relief work, and added that he had been informed by Mr. Metcalf that the secretary of war had expended the re- mainder Of the relief fund for the pur- chase of supplies in the east.
 Upon the cOrroboration of this state ment by MT. Metcalf, MT. Phelan sim ply remarked that there was only S51S,O0O available cash to his order al the mint and the strictest ecOnom! would be necessary.

RICH FIELD
 FOR HOOTERS
They Swarm Amid the
 BIaCkeRed Ruins
It May Be Necessary tO Reinforce thS Order to Shoot the Thieves Of San Francisco.

San Francisco, April 2S.-Greater in numbers than the military forces guarding lives and property in this city Is the army of looters that has taken possession of San Francisco.
 From early in the morning until late at night every boat rom across the bay brings hundreds of people whose sole purpose in visiting the city is to dig among the ruins and carry off such articles of value as they are able to find with a small amount of effort. Laden with suitcases, baskets. bags and satchels, they come. eager to grab from the streets and houses anything that may have possible historical or pecuniary value. Toward nightfaI they wend their way across the bay, carry ing the heavy profits or their days Ia bor.
 Although strict orders were given at the beginning of the military rule that all persons detected in the act of loot ing should be shot. the rigor of this regulation has been relaxed and now the army of looters is in full possession of the blackened ruins. Throughout i chinatown and along Kearney street. ] where bazaars filled with oriental wares once stood. the harvest of loot has been particularly rich. Men, wo- 1 H'eH anu CnliuTeIs IedTlnS neither the presence of the military nor the danger O. tumbling walls. swarm about the ruins with great profit to themselves. Tn many of the Chinese and Japanese stores when the fire approached the i prOprietors buried a large part of their stock in the basements. intending to return after the fire had passed and re- cover what they could. They never came back. The looters came and everything that was of any use or value has been carried away. The merchants who hoped to Save something out of
 which they could re-establish them selves vii never find any Of their
