AnmiUersavy Of Disaster Finds Great
Work Accomplished

San Francisco. April ls.-One year ago to-day San
Francisco was all but wiped out OF existence by
are succeeding r terrific earth shock. Nearly
a quarter OF a million people were rendered home
less, and the financial loss amounted 10 about
500O0000
The city was left OF smoking ruins. and
rehabilitation seemed a matter OF many years To-
dsy the sun rose from cloudless sky over q busy
metropolis. in which the volume Of business more
than equals that OF twelve months ago and whose
population IS fast approaching its former figures
Such a record is sad to be without a parallel
During the year $5.0O0OOo has been expended in
the work Of reconstruction. one-third OF which was
furnished by the savings banks. which in common
with all the financial institutions withstood the
disaster without sign of weakness Over $50 OOO-
OO has been paid for labor, fifty thousand men are
now engaged in the building industry while before
the IRE only twenty thousand were at work
Temporary construction which for a while pre-
vailed has ceased. and permits for the erection of
first class hreproof structures to cost over s5OOO0-
900 have been granted The restoration now in
wiz require the expenditure OF many millions
more. About two hundred miles OF street railways
rendered useless. are now in running order. Per-
haps the most convincing proof OF the substantial
rehabilitation OF the city is shown by the bank
clearinEs. which for March exceed by nearly
s. $4,000 the figures OF the month Of last
year, just preceding the catastrophe.
In recognition and celebration Of what has been
done services were held to-day in the various
churches and while not a legal holiday. work In
many places was suspended Tonight the Mer-
chants Association, prominent factor IN the labor
of reconstruction. commemorated the uprising Of
the new san Francisco by a banquet az the new
Paramount Hotel.

People who were in the vicinity this

one, being thus convinced when they
witnessed Alderman Michael J.. Nc
Gowan, jr., Of the Fifth Ward; julius
A. Meyer. of the Thirteenth Ward,
who are in charge of the carnival to-
night. They demonstrated that they
would be able to qualify as expert line

who are charge of the carnival tonight.
They demonstrated thai they would be
able to qualify as expert linemen and

equally as much skill as his dad.

PHYSICIANS TESTIFY
SUPPORT WOMAN IN SUIT
FOR BIG DAMAGES.
For Injuries Ann 7. Wheaton Sustained,
She and Husband Want Trolley
People to Pay $4,000.

Damages in 1000 were demanded
from the North Jersey Street Railway
Company in Circuit Court B before
Judge Heisley today in the trial of an
action brought by Charles L. Borg
meyer on behalf of Mrs, Ann r.. Whea-
Ion and her husband, John L.. Wheaton,
of this city.
Mrs. Wheaton sustained severe in
ternal injuries, to which she testified
at length, and her testimony was sub
Stimulated by physicians, while. trying
10 alight from a trolley car at Cen
trail avenue and Second street, May
4, 1906. Before she had left the car it
started up so suddenly that she was
thrown to the ground. The injuries
were aggravated by the fact that the
avenue was being repaired at the time
and the pavement was ripped up.
The woman placed the damages for
the personal injuries at $4,000, while
her husbands claim for loss of serv-
ices made up the other $4,000 of the
total amount claimed.
Howard MacSherry, counsel for the
defendant corporation, declared that 1t

open another free o%steopathic clinic in
Newark for the benefit Of those I'M
able to pay for treatment.
After a thorough discussion a COM
Tnittee was appointed to look for a suit

matter to the college.
The address of Or. Stephen Rock,
president, of Passaic, was well re-
ceived. ana was responded to by DR..
Walker, of this city. DIR. j. A. Elwood
also gave a short talk. DR.. G. john
ston, of Paterson, who won the dis
tinction of being the first osteopath
admitted to a hospital where he treated
a patient with success, read a very in
teresting paper on Paralysis"
The case reports of the free osteo-
pathic clinic, conducted under the aus

QUIET AT NEWARK BANKS.

Conditions at Newark banks and
trust companies nave grown better and
better every day this week, and at all
of them business was quiet today, very
few depositors drawing money to In
vest in municipal and county bonds
that pay 4 per cent. interest, the same
rate that New York savings banks pay.
Several local men said today that they
regret that they made deposits a year
or two ago in the New York banks to
get the 4 per cent, for now. when they
want to draw the money out to invest
in local securities, they can't get 1t.
The restoration OF confidence in New
York mas been a factor in dispelling
the little un~easiness that was in New
ark last week, and the announcement
that the United States Treasury will
accept from national banks as security
for increased issues of currency to them
gilt-edged street and municipal securi-
ties is another helpful factor, for here
tofore a deposit of United states bonds
was required by the government. Local
banking men said today that the finan-
cial situation is now all right.
investment brokers reported that
there was little buying of bonds today
and yesterday, people evidently being
satisfied that the temporary financial
furry has died out. Local banking in
situations are increasing the amount
of currency and coin in their vaults so
as to have plenty on hand when manu-
f~acturers need none for their weekly
pay-rolls. Bank men are hopeful that
the supply of currency will be soon in
creased and make money easier in all
sections.

whereabouts He again went upstairs TO
the top aoor, where, on going into the
room. he found that she was still there,
in a nervous state.
Get out quickly, Minnie" he said; t HI
fire is burning fast and will soon reach
here
The woman gave the same answer as
before, Smith declared, and said that in
a minute she would be down. He then
ran down the stairs again.
BY this time the building was one mass
OF flames and made a spectacular blaze.
The fire had gained a great Roadway be-
fore the firemen reached 1t.
Some of those that were at the fire
claim that Mrs. Swiss came to a front
window at one time, n was about TO
leap to the street, but could not get up
sufficient courage to do this, and went
back to her room.
Smiths wife went to him after the fire
had been burning half an hour and again
reminded him of Mrs. Swiss, and Smith al
leges that he attempted to go to her for the
third time, but was beaten back by the
smoke and flames.
Later two of the Harrison firemen went
up in the building and found Mrs. Swiss's
BODY in her bed. 1t was carried down
stairs and removed to Bernard P. Walsh's
morgue.
Everything in the house was totally
ruined, and the damage estimated by
Smith is s $1,000. There Is $1,000 insurance
on the place.
Mrs. Swiss was the wife of George H.
Swiss. jr., Of 172 Tappan street, Kearny,
but was separated from him, 1t is said.
She leaves two children.
DR.. Henry Alters, of Harrison. said to-
day that he had been treating Mrs. Swiss
for illness. and he had advised her to go to
q Newark hospital.
Smith, his wife and family. are staying
with friends in Harrison.
Swiss. the dead .woman's husband, and
her brother, were at the morgue this
morning and arranged to have the body
taken to Kearny for burial.
Smith has been keeping a restaurant in
Harrison for seven months and Mrs.
Swiss had worked in the place all that
time.
