SAN FRANCISCO. April 29. (guff
Correspondence.) The Found of crack
ing rifles a week ago has given way
today to the cheerful mut-ic of pounding
hammcra. The situation changes her so
rapidly day by day that it is hard to
keep up with the movement.
One day nothing goes but the Gov
ernor's pass, the Red Cross is displayed
on every automobile, there is an em
bargo on the ferry, the nre Is still
burning, people are pouring from the
city. The next day ferries are free,
the streets are shut while dangerous
walls arc dynamited, the parks are
plied high with provisions.
The thfa-d day traffic Is resumed, papses
are no longer necessary. The crowds on
Jerry are as composed as before the
earthquake days, the automobiles fly
banners of building committees and
sewer inspectors, several lines of
street-ears are running, charging no
faros, all the talk is reconstruction.
On the fourth day you pay your fare
wherever you go. The little shops in
the unburncd portion of the city, from
which the original stock of goods was
t onfls-mted, arc opening up. Everyone

The Correct Tiling hi Clothes.
San Francisco is too resourceful not
to make the most of a bad situation.
In a larger way It hopes to beautify
Hie city, but even in smaller matters
It is taking advantage of the condi
tions. Your swell nowadays wears his
breeches in his high-laced shoes, Ton
njuih style, and an Army shirt with
collar turned up. or riding breeches
and a corduroy hat. it is quite the
thing to have red eyes and smoky
face; it shows you can cook over an
open tire in the street. You canvot
have a bath, so cleanliness Is entirely
rut of fashion.
What has struck me most forcibly
Jn these past ten days Is the quickness
with which each new phase of the sit
uation has been taken usTnd handled.
The greatest problem of all stares the
people of San Francisco In the face
now. and all arc talking about It how
to rebuild the civilization. Men must be
jnado to work, whether they like the
new work or not, the unworthy must
bo cut off from supplies, yet no hard
ship must be wrought, and many thou
sands of women, ten days ago inde
pendent, must be looked after.
Money None Too Plentiful.
It seemed at first as if there were
too much money coming here for re
lief, but it will not provo so In the end.
oven with the strictest economy. All
parochial Institutions are burned and
the people who supported these estab
lishments are ruined. And then the
shiftless class, always ready to be sup
ported, have lived bettor of late than
ever before, and ask nothing better
than the continuance- of present con
ditions. They must be taught' self
eupport all over again.
Organization, coming of itself
through each one doing the work that
lays at his hand, has now assumed a
permanent form. The civil and mili
tary forces, dangerously near to clash
ing ut times, are holding love feasts,
and it is no longer a question of any
expedient, but of the best expedient.
The charitable work is now center
ing in the Red Cross, though the vari
ous Mates and cities nil now have re

Js very rigid martial law, and that was

that Is done now.
There Is no necessity to shoot any
and the soldiers are doing a very ef
fective police duty. But San Fran

nights of 'ominous darkness, "with "the
awful crack of rifles Jn the gloom,

1"EWEK TKOOPS BE SENT
3IxJne'y for Transportation . May Be
Ucd to Buy Supplies.
WASHINGTON. April 23 -Only two regi
ments of troops, comprising in all about
1350 men. will be sent to San Francisco
to reinforce those now there, instead of
the 2500 men as originally proposed by
General Greely and sanctioned by the War
Department. The troops to go arc the
First Cavalry from Fort Clark and Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, and the infantry
from Fort D. A. Russell. Wyoming. A
telegram asking that onl j'the reduced
number be sent was received at the War
Department and orders to that effect were
nrom'ttly lesued.
The War Department officials decline to
dlscuFS the reasons for General Grcolys
request, but the Impression given is that
l Is due to a wish of the citizens oemmit
cc of San Francisco not to have the
Government incur the expense due to thotr
transortatlon. so that the money may be
available for relief work Instead.
The transportation charge for the moi
probably would have aggregated more
than $100,000. which can bo spent in buying
rations and other ncccscitios for the
stricken people.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 23. The
second Sunday since the fateful April
IS has served as a clearing-house In
the affairs of this ruined city. "While
the old-tlmo quietude is missing, the
day has witnessed less of the excite
ment, confusion and clamor of its Im
mediate predecessors and the com
munity at large has been enabled to
make a calmer survey of the situation
and to enter into a mere Intelligent
and rational preparation for the fu
ture. All possible work of a municipal
character was suspended for the day.
and the tired officials, who have
labored Incessantly with little sleep
for nearly two weeks to bring
h semblance of order out of
-hantit- conditions, look advantage of
the lull to secure- greatly needed rest
and to pay some attention to pressing
personal needs.
Time to Pause and Plan.
With the advent of Sunday came an
opportunity to review the tremendous
accomplishments of the past 11 days,
to provide remedies for defects In the
task of equably and Judiciously caring
for all classes of the destitute. Irre
spective of race or creed. Plans for
solving the tremendous financial prob
lems that confront the city began to
day to assume tangible form, and the
Sunday closed with the brightest pros
pect that has faced San Francisco since
three-fourths of Its territory was laid
waste.
Probably the most Important devel
opment of -the day was the promulga
tion by General Greely of his plan for
the distribution of supplies. Report

constantly recelveil since provisions
and clothing began pouring In to suc
cor the afflicted, and it is now believed
that misuse of supplies will hereafter
be Impossible.
Advantage Taken by Unscrupulous.
In the first days of thf fire, little
or no attempt was made to keep -heck
on foodstuffs, the main Idea being to
provide against want, and It was nat
ural that under this excusable hap
ha'zard order of affairs many abuses
should arise. But even when the lines
were more tightly drawn, the unscru
pulous persons continued to take ad
vantage of the general distress, and
It was then realized that the salvation
of the situation rested with the Army.
So the officials of this branchof the
Federal Government were called upon
to engage- In an unprecedented service.
That success will doubtless meet their
efforts may be inferred from the com
pleteness of the plan of General Gree
ly. The unburncd part of the clty
wlll be divided Into seven districts. In
charge of Army officers, who will ns
nme control of all of the relief sta-
' tions now established.
Civilians to Do Clerical Work.
Responsible civilians wilt be installed
under salary at the substations for the
purpose of clerical work and dally rec
ords and checks will be kept. It Is de
clared that the period of extreme distress
has passed and that at the ear Host possi
ble moment the Issue of rations must be
confined to helpless women and children
and tcfused to adult males, unless they
are sick or In enfeebled condition. Issue
of luxuries or articles of especial diet
will be confined io Infants and Invalids.

officer encaged In relief work. In each
of the 'seven districts there will be ID)
stations. The amount of food to' be al
lowed each person, with some latitude
for certain conditions. Is specified, and
the allowance in a measure is based on
the army rations.
At" a meeting today, at which were
present James D. . Phelan. chairman of
the finance committee, and some noted
lawyers and " bankers, a plan ' was
broached for financing th city, which
it is hoped will meet -with the Indorse
ment, of the general committee.- it being
estimated that the city has suffered a
loss .of at least OX0CiX9 hy fire, .it is
conceded that there Is ' not sufficient
money In San Francisco to reconstruct
the .city and that the .people here must
look elsewhere for" the funds to rehabili
tate the destroyed city. t
Plan to Borrou Money.
- Mr. Phelan said that if money Is bor
rowed through ordinary" chanpcls the' rate
of Interest will add a burden "io neces
sarily Increased taxation thalwlli;be too
heavy to bear. The plan of Mr. Phelan
Is to frame legislation to present to Con
gress, asking Uie United States to Indorse
the proposed bonds of San Francisco with
the guarantee of the Government. The
city will be able to go Into the financial
markets of the world and borrow the
needed money at 2 or 2 per cent, the
bonds to run for CO years and constitute
a mortgage on the best portion of the
city. Mr. Phelan asserted that such
legislation would not be new in Congress.
It was by virtually such a measure that
the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific
Railroads were built and more recently
by like- legislation that railways in the
Philippines became assured to the people
of the Islands.
Red Cross Completing System.
The work of furnishing the necessaries
of life to the homeless and needy con
tinues with more system and with un
abated -energy, but despite that care of
the officials at the head of the bureaus
complaints are received frequently of
oversights In supplying stations, but these
errors are quickly rectified. Tomorrow
the Red Cross people expect to have
their Individual ticket system In operation
and this will facilitate the plans of the
army In preventing abuses.
The number of people without substan
tial shelter has been reduced to a min
imum. The housing committee reported
today that Its work had been almost com
pleted, the applications for accommoda
tions having ceased. The work of this
committee has been lessened by the num
erous departures of people In tents to
other parts of the State. Religious serv
ices were held In the open air In many
of the saved districts today, and in
churches that were pronounced safe for
immediate use throngs gathered to listen
to the sermons of the clergy.

today upon finding the contents of the
municipal treasury Jntact. The vaults
were located lh a section of the city hall
that escaped the fire and. when an ex
pert opentd the doors this morning he

in the Tabernacle waited for the appear

Dowle was borne bodily by two stal

apostolic robe of winte and gold. Upon
his head was turban of marvelous

WOODBURN. Or.. April. 29. mid
night. (Special.) A report has Just
reached here that a man., supposed
to be Smith, the outlaw, appeared
In a. field late tonight near Storfs
farm, four ' miles east of "Woodburn.
A posse of eight men. "beaded by De
tectives Snow and Vaughn, of Port
land, and Chief Burns, of Oregon
City. left Immediately to Investi
gate. A large reserve force Is
ready to take the field should It
prove that the. trait or tho des
perado has been struck again.
"WOODBURN Or.. April 3.-(3taff Cor
respondence.) The arrival o'f bloodhounds
at the scene of the man hunt near "Wood-
burn is being anxlouslr awaited by tho
authorities and the posses. The dogs ar
expected from Portland on the mornlnsr
train and will be harried at once to tha
point where Frank Smith, the outlaw,
was fired at on Saturday afternoon, unless
a fresher trail Is found in the meantime.
Great confidence la felt In the nitnm

only- at a great disadvantage: they mktht,
easily pass within a dozen feet of their
quarry, and not know it.
The hounds will be kept in leash so
that the posse may keep close behind
them. A detachment of coolheaded, cour
ageous men who can be depended upon
to take chances against the outlaw will
foltow the dogs. It is now utdversally
bellevcd that Smith is In the brush, east
of Woodburn, as stated yesterday, and
that he Is within a very few miles of
tho town.
Xo Developments Yesterday.
Today has been productive of no results
whatever in the hunt for Smith. Up to
10 o'clock tonight there has been no au
thentic report of his whereabouts, and
the authorities are at sra.. Seemingly the
earth ha.s opened and swallowed up the
outlaw. It had been confidently expected
that a fresh trail would develop during
last night. Being without food and shel
ter, there seemed every reason to believe
Smith would attempt-to secure provisions.
A largo force of armed men accordingly
-stood In readiness all morning to leave
"Woodburn at an instant's notice. Tele
phone wires were kept busy with Inquiries
of adjoining settlements and several men
were detailed to visit remote farmhouses
for possible word of the outlaw- Still
other parties of armed men beat the
brush In the vicinity where a man. sup
posed to have been Smith, was fired on
Saturday afternoon".
Several False Alarms. .
Notwithstanding these measures, there
were no Important developments. Sev
eral reports of Smith's whereabouts were
followed out to no advantage, proving
false, alarms In each instance.
Either Smith Is lying dead In the woods
a HUtcide with his own weapon, or Is hid
den. In pome dense strip of brush, which B
has. not yet been hit upon by tho posses.
Thls,Js the current belief in Woodburn
todayIt Is also generally believed that
theesperado. dead or alive. Is in tha
wooaa.to the east of Woodburn. It isto
this ''point that the authorities are now
turning their full attention. All other
clews and trails have been dropped, hav
ing failed to materialize anything definite.
While smair posses are scattered in
every ialrectlon. most of the man hunters
have returned to Woodburn and arc be
ing thown out Into the thick woods whore ;
the suspect was fired upon. Parties of '
