PROPOSE SPECIAL SESSION
Senators Recommend Legislature
Appropriate Money for Relief.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. WASH
Ington, D. C.. April 21. Senators Fulton
and Gcarin today sent the following tele
gram to Governor Chamberlain:
"In the presence of the appalling calam
ity that has fallen upon San Francisco )
inmviauai enrect, however earnest and
heartfelt, must necessarily fall far short
of what our people would like to accom
plish In showing our sympathy and rend
ering practical assistance. We suggest
that you call a meeting of the Legislature
for the purpose of making an appropria
tion for the relief of the stricken people
of San Francisco."
Senator Piles today received a telegram
from Governor Mead asking his opinion
as to the advisability of calling a special
session of the Washington Legislature to
.make a similar appropriation. Mr. Piles
replied that he would favor such session
unless the business men of the state will
agree to contribute a sufficient sum on
the understanding that the Legislature at
its next regular session will agree to re
imburse them. This is equivalent to
recommending the call of a special session.

ALL SAY CITY WILL REBUILD
Leaden; 11b FinaHce Predict Greater
Strength and Beauty.
NEW YORK. April a. In spile of the
staggering property losses involved In the
destruction of San Francisco by earth
quake and fire. New Yorkers who have
large Interests at stake in that city and
Califoml&ns resident here say. without
hesitation, that San Francisco will be re
built as speedily as possible; that the city
will rise from Its ashes on grander lines
than those of the past, and that It will
be a safer and healthier city because of
the precautions to be taken against future
earthquakes and conflagrations.
D. O. Mills said:
"In spite of the uncertainty, one thing
Is sure: The city -will be rebuilt so that
earthquakes will not shake It down and
bo that Are will not destroy It.
"And we will have a water system
which will enable us to draw watjr from
the sea for fire-extinguishing service and
other municipal purposes. We will thus
have less to fear from the destruction of
the land mains."
Archer M. Huntington, son of Cbllls P.
Huntington, said:
"San Francisco Is the logical metropolis
west of the Rockies, and all talk of aban
doning the city In favor of some such
place as Seattle Is foolishness. I can say
that the city will be rebuilt at once: that
It will be an Improved city, and that In
the building profit will be taken from
present conditions."
Isaac Guggenheim said:
"Of course. San Francisco will rise
again. We have every confidence In Its
recuperative powers. It rill rise like the
Phoenix and be bigger and more beauti
ful. Buildings will go up that will not
tumble down when the earth quakes, and
neither will they burn so easily, and It
will be one of the most beautiful cities In
the world."
C. E. Laldlaw said that commercial ne
cessities would take care of San Fran
cisco's future, adding:
"I see no reason why the city should
not rise again. The tendency, of course.
Is to rebuild."
"There can be no possible doubt that
San Francisco will rise irom the ashes of
her ruins." declared Colonel Dudley
Evans, president of the Wells-Fargo Ex
press Company.
"It Is a question of only a few years
before the city will be greater and grand
er than ever before. It will have the ex
perience and the mistakes of the past as
a guide, and even If there should be an
other visitation of an earthquake there
would be little to fear.
"Some plan must be devised which will
alleviate the necessity of building on the
made land of the wholesale district.
"It has virtually no foundation to sup
port the great buildings which rested upon
It, and It seems to me likely that the
merchants will move to the solid ground
formerly known as Tar Flats south of
Market street." ,
That no time will be lost In the work of
rebuilding San Francisco Is suggested by
the fact that the large engineering and
contracting firms are sending their most
expert men to Investigate the ruins, with
a view of discovering which form of con
struction best withstood the shock.
The city will require about 2M.0M tonB
of structural steel to repair her losses and
erect new buildings, accordnig to E. H.
Garry, head of the United States Steel
Corporation, and other authorities.
One result of the earthquake, it was
claimed, will be to give an Impetus to the
use of steel skeletons In future building
along the Pacific Coast.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. WASH
INGTON. D. C. April 21. Representative
Hermann, who only a few weeks ago was
availing himself of every technicality to
postpone trial in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, on the Icttcrbook
Indictment, has suddenly grown anxious
to race a Jury. o sooner was Hermann
noticed that tfie Government would like
to postpone his .trial because Mr. Heney
has been obliged to return to Sin Fran
cisco, than he entered a stout protest and
came forward with a demand that his
trial begin next Wednesday, as recently
ordered by the court.
Hermann's attorneys notified District
Attorney Baker today that they were un
willing to allow further postponement.
Hermann has made all preparation for
trial. He has summoned several witnesses
from Oregon, who came and are here at
his expense, and has gone to other ex
pense and the attorneys state that their
client Is entitled to an Immediate hearing.
Insisting that the prosecution be conduct
ed by District Attorney Baker In the
absence of Mr. Heney.
It so happens that Mr. Hener worked
J up the case and was prepared to go Into
i court and conduct the prosecution, while
Mr. Baker Is not prepared and would be
seriously handicapped If required at this
late day to take up a case with which he
Is not familiar. It Is noted that no sooner
had Mr. Heney left Washington for Sin
Francisco than Hermann showed signs of
Intense eagerness to stand trial, but this
is the first time such symptoms have been
noticed.
In view of the fact that the Government
would be seriously handicapped If com
pelled to go. on with Hermann's trial dur
ing the coming week. It Is expected that
the case will be continued until the Fall
term of court. Notice was today served
on Hermann's attorneys to appear In
court Monday and show cause why trial
should not be postponed until Mr. Heney
can return to Washington. Had Her
mann been as ready for trial a month ago,
when the Government wanted to go ahead,
as he Is today, he would stand a better
chance of winning out In this controversy
with Mr. Baker.
