nate that there was at hand AN officer
such as he to deal with the problems
which arose.
THE ommandcrin-chief heartily
approves the commendatory remarks
relating TO the officers and men OF
the ships who accompanied Admiral
Davis, hu. they did no more than IL
expected of officers and men in the
navy, and no moro than would have
been done by officers and men OF the
other ships OF the feet. and. indeed,
the ships sent were not chosen abova
those OF others OF the fleet for any
other reason than that they were moro
nearly ready for steaining when tho
news OF the disaster was received.

COMMITTEE HEARS PLANS

At meeting of the Street Cleaning
Committee of the Council last night
Superintendent Henry J. Cohn pre-
scented his estimate of the cost of the
service for all items during the ensuing
year. In the list of items Is one for
street flushing. in which it is proposed
to use machines, estimates for the pur-
chase of them and for the cost of opera
ton being included IN the total>of about
$4,000 for this purpose.
The items of pay roll, of regular cX-
pehses of all kinds other than pay roll.
and of the Crematory and its operation
are practically what thcx were last
year. while tho items for street flush
ing for new Crernatory in the East End.
for an emergency wagon and for the
cleaning of the annexed territory are
now estimates. The items of expense
of street cleaning in the new suburbs
is an elastic one, being stated at the
maximum, though it is expected that 1t
can he reduced to meet tho actual needs
as the joint committee on expenditures
in the suburban territory may deter
mine. Deducting this one item froNl
the total estimated expense Will reduce
1t to SsS2,S99, or very little more than
this sum. This estimate was recon-
Inended by tho subcommittee. and was

Great Political Leader.

Senator Aldrich. OF Rhode Island, who
was TO have spoken, being called from
the chamber. Mr.. Kean. of New Jersey,
read his remarks. The statement pre-
pared by Mr.. Aldrich, after reviewing
Mr.. Germans public services, says:
This record of successful political
leadership in many fields has hardly a
parallel in the history OF the country.
Mr.. Germans supremacy in this re-
spect never surprised those who knew
him best-those who had the most tho
rough understanding and appreciation OF
his qualities of mind and heart He was
wise. skilful and resourceful, and his ge-
NAL presence and magnetic personality
at once inspired confidence and secured
allegiance"
Senator Frye spoke of the charges ~
corrupt practices made against Mr.. Cor
man as Il political leader. and said that
he did not believe them to have the least
foundation In fact. He did. however, re-
gard him as a political manager of rare
SKILL and ne gave 10 the Maryland Sen
ator credit for the success OF Mr.. Cleye-
lands campaign against Mr.. Blaine, much
of which he thought was due to the
prompt advantage taken by him OF the
famous Rum. Romanism and Rebel
lion speech in New York.
Many Other Eulogies.
Eulogies were also delivered by Sena-
tors Allison. of Iowa: Clay. of Georgia;
Hale. of Maine: Cullom. of Illinois;
Blackburn, of Kentucky; spooner, of Wis
cousin: Oyerman, of North Carolina: FL
kins, of West Virginia; Carrnack, of Ten
nessee: Tillman, of South Carolina, and
Whyte. of Maryland.
Previous TO this order many bills OF
minor Importance We're passed includ-
ing measure increasing the salaris of
city mail-carriers, making the first years
salary $500, with an annual increase Of
s10O until maximum of $500 has been
reached. Another bill passed increases
the pension of all Indian war survivors
from IS to $l0 per month.

flushing. He further stated that DIR
T.. c. Levy, city health officer. recon
mended the flushing of streets as d
health measure.
In his letter the superintendent says
Flushing can be accomplished
either by means of hose attached
to plugs at the corners or by the
use of flushing machines The for
mer method, or the use of hose.
requires number of men to handle
the hose, and takes about twice the
time to cover the same space as
covered by machines: 1t impedeS
traffic, and is liable to spatter Pc
destrians and vehicles, besides con-
suming from three to five times as
much water as the machines.
THE flushing machines are there
fore moro economical in saving
time, labor and water
LAS we'll as I can estimate 1t, the
cost of flushing in this manner
would be considerably more eco
nomical and money-saving than
cleaning the streets by hand and
machine sweepers. with sprinkfers.
1t is certainly more efficient in re-
moving slime in wet weather, and
dust and dirt in dry weather.
"As 1t appears that this method
would render our service so much
more efficient with a probable saw
ing financially, and conduce greatly
to the health and comfort of our
people. earnestly recommend and
hope that it Will be your pleasure
to cause this great Improvement
to be introduced In our city.

RABBI LEVY FLAYS
THE SUNDAY BILL
Measure Before Legislature
Compelling Observance OF
Sabbath Is Scored Warmly
RAPS HEBREW SOLON

Rabbi M. S. Levy roundly scored
from the pulpit of the Geary Street
Iemple yesterday morning all legisla-
tors and members of the Sacramento
clergy who were promoting the bill
regulating and compelling the OBJ
servance of Sunday. In vehement and
forcible language he censured the law
makers as tyrannical and the repre-
sentative of the Jewish faith who has
advocated the measure as traitor
to his religion. The rabbi wanted his
congregation to understand clearly
that he had no sympathy for the pro-
posed measure or its hackers and
would bitterly oppose it's progress
from the pulpit as an infringement of
the American constitution and rights
of the Jewish people as we'll as be-
levers of other faiths
understand, said the rabbi,
from the press reports that some
Johnsop-I don't know whether the
gentleman is Grove l.. or another
Johnson-has introduced a bill in the
Legislature compelling observance of
Sunday"
Rabbi Levy continued to amplify on
what We do: the eyes of the people
are on you," and added. II want no
law in this State or any State that
shall lay down how I must spend my
Sabbath.
Il want to enjoy my Sabbath. / do
not want any one to say | shall not
laugh and that it is a crime to sing
and play on the Sabbath. AS long as
/ am quiet and orderly and indulge
in beneficial exercise or rest I want
to be left alone. I never permit poll
tics, graft or religion to enter into
my life, but when there is an issue
that concerns my people [ will de-
nounce 1t. 1t is my duty as Jewish
clergyman to strengthen my people
and point out their weaknesses. To
submit to such measure as is pro-
posed would be a weakness To keep
quiet would be an admission of such
weakness.
Il am bitterly opposed to all such
compulsory laws. whether they con-
Germ the rights of the people or touch
religion. / am opposed to compulsory
observance of Sunday as Jew be-
cause / do not believe Sunday is the
Lords day. If any day is to be set
aside, the seventh day is the one to
be observed by the Jew.
In fact I can give no reason why
this bill should be made law. My
surprise is only increased by the
strange bedfellowship of the bishop
and rabbi in advocating this measure
The rabbi referred to three clergy
men of Sacramento as men of q small |
town and of narrow environments, in
spite of the capitol dome which graced
the town. He sarcastically spoke of
their wisdom in attempting to direct
the legislation on religion.
The services were well attended |
there being about 1000 members of the |
congregation present After the serv-
Ices Rabbi Levy was commended by /
many for his firm stand against the /
bill in question:

SODALITY REyERES MEMORY
OF ARCHBISHOP MONTGOMERY
Solemn High Mass to Be Celebrated in
Chapel of Gentiemen's Society in ST.
IEnafins Church Next Sunday

At regular meeting of the council
of the Gentlemen's Sodality of ST. Ig-
natius Church, held recently, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Almighty God in his wisdom has
called to his eternal reward his Grace. Most
Rev. Archbishop George Montgomery; and
whereas, in his death the church has lost a
great and noble prelate. whose zeal in the cause
of religion has been an uplifting factor in the
growth and development of charity and right
eousness: and
Whereas, AS a citizen and teacher the sublime
example he has set us Will forever linger in
the hearts of grateful people, who will al
ways cherish and revere his memory: and
Whereas, The State has suffered the loss of a
leader whose every thought was TO see his
people devoted and loyal to home and country
and whose exalted ideals for their happiness
and welfare merit the appreciation of every
citizen; therefore. be it
Resolved, That, bowling in humble and loving
submission to the VIII of Almighty God we ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy to his Grace Most
Rev Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan and
to the clergy of the archdiocese; and be it
Resolved. That we offer our monthly general
communion on Sunday, February 10. and a solemn
high mass, 70 be celebrated In our SodaIity
chapel on Sunday. February II, 1907. at :45
a. M, for the repose of the soul of our lamented
archbishop; and be it further
Resolved. That these resolutions be recorded
on the minutes of our council, and that copies
OF them be sent to his Grace Most Rev.

Monitor, Leader and the daily press

HOME BUILDERS To
RECEIVE 100000
Relief Corporation to Give
Bonuses on Residences
Erected in Burned Area
WILL PAY ONE-THIRD

Requests from citizens caused
the executive committee of the Relief
Corporation to set aside 100000 yes
terday for bonuses to persons rebuild
ing residences in the burned district.
All persons building homes in the
burned section on their own land will
be awarded a gift of one-third the
cost of the house. provided that in no
case the gift can exceed $500.
The bonus plan adopted is similar
to that inaugurated by the committee
several months ago and which met with
general success. All applications must
be made in writing on blanks to be
furnished by the committee. Applica-
ions viii be received until March 10.
1t is expected, however. that the money
set aside for the bonuses will be do
mated before that date, as the first
applications will receive the first at
tention.
On looking over the expenditures
yesterday the committee concluded that
the number of epatients being kept at
hospitals was getting larger than could
be tolerated, and ii was decided to ap-
point one member of the executive
committee TO find some method of in
vestigating the applications and pre-
venting hospital accommodation to per-
sons who were not burned out at the
time of the big fire. The hospital bills
are more than $500 a day, but no blame
was put on the doctors in charge of the
department for this condition of af-
fairs.
The committee made its regular
monthly appropriations for February
and audited claims amounting to s474,-
25s.57. The committee will meet again
next Tuesday.
