The fi nance committee today reported relief subscriptions, as follows: Total promises confirmed. . .$4,102,016 Verbal promises unconfirmed 411.730 Total. .4.6H.60H SAN FRANCISCO. May 6. An impor tant conference, devoted tp the problem of husbanding food supplies, was held at the Presidio tuday. Among those in at tendance were General Greely, General Kunston, Dr. De-vine and Allan Pollak. Tho situation, as made public during the committee meeting last Thursday, was discussed In all Its details, and all pres ent agreed that rigid economy,, should be practiced In future distribution. At the conclusion of the ' conference General Greely said: "The condition of the food supply will render'It possible to Issue very little ex cept flour, which will last ten days; pota toes. cofTee and rice. Meat we are buying In small quantities. I have been officially notified that the appropriation of $2,500,000 has been exhausted In the purchase of supplies, and I 'may state that the money alloted to my use has gone for the same purpose. Must Be Carefully Husbanded. "It has been agreed that the supplies now on hand must be carefully husband ed in order that they may be' diverted Into the proper 'channels for as long a period as possible. ' "We are Issuing biit two-thirds of the quantity of food that ' was distributed prior to -the time the regular Army took charge qf the situation. The teams en gaged In distributing have been reduced from 500 to 282 in number. The last offi cial report showed that supplies were Is sued on Thursday to 261,000 people. I hope that today's' report will show rations .is sued to less than 200.000... "The census of each district is being carefully computed. I am convinced that there, is repeating, and since thousands of men are reported to have .obtained eiru- . ploymen there should 'be, a '-irtpterial re; duetion In the number of those entitled to relief. Willing to Put on Screws. ; "I sm willing to put on the screws and diminish the food supply at any time, but I shall not take such a step until I am so advised by tho committee. We have recommended the patronage of cheap res taurants which may be located In many places throughout the city and are cer tain to prosper." "By furnishing a wholesome meal for 15 cents they will be assured of support by the working population and will great ly relieve the situation." i SEIZING STOLEN SUPPLIES. Police Ferret Out drafters on Re - lief Fund. PAN FRANCISCO. May 5. The police and military authorities are slowly but surely lenctlng out the people who have abused the free supplies privilege. The detectives engaged in the work are proceeding cautiously, so that no seizures will be made unless the officers are cer tain that no injury to deserving persons will be inflicted. When It is established that supplies have been secured by subterfuge, the goods are Belied and turned over to the nearest station. The authorities are being assisted by numerous anonymous letters telling of the tinlawlul hoarding of stores. These let ters e always investigated, and in al most every Instance have been found to state tie truth. A letter came last night saying that Charles B. Trlbell. living on Haight street, a member of the relief committee, had not neglected to look out for himself. The detectives found at his home, so they said, a stock of provisions, tents and bedding sufficient ' to last for many months. They took away from his home supplies valued at $75, but .this amount did not represent all that was found at his home. The detectives also seised at the rest deuce of Mrs. Levltlne on Lombard street, JM0 worth of military blankets, bedding and clothing, but the .woman re fused to tell where she got the goods. CHEAP RESTAURANTS NEEDED Finance Committee Approves of Their, Establishment In Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO. May 5. Following a conference of eitlxens and officials prom inent In relief work; the finance commit tee of the general relief committee this afternoon approved the plan of Dr. De- . vine to encourage the establishment of . cheap restaurants by private parties , Whenever there is a surplus of perishable food it will be sold to these restaurants and the proceeds devoted to the purchase ' of Rtanle supplies. James D. Hague, representing the New "York Chamber of Commerce, announced 'that he would ask the body for which he i spoke to hold the .Vn.0(X remaining of its STSO.OOO subscription for the . use of the citizen's' committee. After the meeting Chairman Phelan said that the last $700.0u0 of the Govern ment'a appropriation of J2.500.0U0 had been expended by the War Department, but that the eitlxens' committee Is turning hack tents and blankets for which there fc no need and getting food supplies in return.

Twentyone young men students of Butler College were today suspended for their part in an attempt to disci-: pllne Prof essor R. .B. Moore, of the col lege faculty, last Wednesday evening. As the young men concerned are among the most prominent in all college activ ities, the life of the school is practi cally paralyzed for the present.

ALL ARE OPTIMISTS NOW Contractors Jleport Burned District tan Be Cleared Lp in Six - Months Not " Worried ' About Money. j BAN FRANCISCO, May 5: (Special.) The shades of night falling over the ruins off the. City of San Francisco Saturday evening revealed a community so far re covered; from the calamity that had wiped out nearly all of the business houses of. the 'city tttat even those Who-were- com pelled - by force of circumstances -to be members of the camps of refugees, were discussing their future in the most roseats terms, and all classes and " conditions are confident that the ultimate effect of the i . I -- r.-Wm.',-'mMiifti--y :.. tragedy will be the creation of a new and better city that will hold forth better advantages for all Us citizens, A gTcat deal of this spirit of optimism was .due to the reports made to the mem ber's, of the Citizens' Committee, which has In charge the matter of rebuilding the city, by the various contractors to whom has been referred the task of esti mating on the cost of clearing the ruins, and of the various agents of the steel manufacturers who have declared that they will be in a position to furnish all. the steel needed for rebuilding the city so fast as It may be needed. All Clear In Six Months. The men who will clear away the ruins are a unit in stating that, while the task is a most stupendous one, there is no reason why, should the authorities per mit them the necessary leeway, they can not clear away all of the 10,000,000 cubic yards of ruined material that now covers the business section in at least six months. Since as soon as one section is cleared, the work of rebuilding can com mence, it will be possible to have the destroying and constructing contractors work together, and the result will be the re-establishment of the "City Beautiful" in far less time than any one ever dreamed would be possible. There is one grave danger apparent at present, and that is the lavish and waste ful manner in which food supplies have been disposed of in the last fortnight. Money Plenty for Rebuilding. After the conference of the clearing house committee, which resulted in the issuing of the statement that, so far as that body could see, there was no reason why anyone should be apprehensive over funds for rebuilding, inasmuch as $160,- OOO.OOOl was to be received trom tne nre insurance companies, it was generally admitted that there was no reason to be disappointed at the action of the Senate committee, which today decided to refuse Government backing to the bonds of the cily- However among, some classes it is thought that the treatment the city has received from the Federal Government has been hardly what was expected, at a time of National calamity, and some of the members of the California delegation In Congress are being severely criticized, inasmuch as it is intimated that, were Mayor Schmltz a Republican, the request that the Federal Government back the city's bonds with its credit would have been granted. However, with the help that is to be extended by Eastern capitalists, with the insurant that is to be paid on the prop erty destroyed and with the money that native Californians will invest here, there will be no scarcity of funds to pay for building materials and the new structural work can be done in record-breaking time. . With the increasing number of daily discharges of its subcommittees, the gen eral municipal relief committee doubtless will soon pass out of existence and the direction of affairs will be restored to the regularly constituted officers.

He stelt called upon to make this an nouncement by -reason - of the circum stance that contractors "arid' builders in general .wore complaining, of ;the lack of mechanics : and laborers. OBe wished to assure the' committee that' there was no truth in these reports. " He said idle men were now coming into the! city from the interior and displacing those-who should have the first call upon the consideration' of capital. Many such had applied to , his bureau for . registra tion, but had been refused, because it was he desire of Mr. Stafford that those citi zens of the cltv who were now dependent upon the relief committee for subsistence should first be provided lor.

Paul- Cowles called the attention of the committee to the- circumstance that the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies Ivwo been rendering the city efficient aid 'n the transmission of the Mayor's andithe- committee's telegrams free of charge, and he thought some rec ognition should be made of this service. The Mayor siid that he was cognizant i of the service, and. if the attention of the committee had not heretofore been called to the fact; it was due to an oversight. On motion ef Garrett McEnerny, a vote of thanks- was extended to these compa nies and to the Associated Press. CAN HANDLE ORIENTAL TRADE Pacific Mail Denies Seattle Stories of Damage ' by Disaster.

Ernest Goer- lltz, general manager of the Conried Met ropolitan Opera Company, returned to this city last night. He was met at the Oak land pier by Charles W. Strine,. 9an Fran cisco manager of the most promising operatic engagement in the musical his tory of California, which was so abruptly ended by the catastrophe which over whelmed San Francisco. In the interim between Mr. Goerlitz's departure-for New York in charge of the company and the time of his return, the Conried interests here have been guarded by Mr. Strine. Mr. Goerlitz stated that every member of the company. 250 strong, had been safe ly returned to New York. None of the telegrams sent to Mr. Conried from San Francisco and Oakland, on tne lay or tne disaster, ever reached their . destination, and the suspense of the New York home office was not relieved . until Mr. Conried received a message from Mr. Goerlitz from Cheyenne.

FOUND 3iO. KILLED LOOTERS Coroner Discredits Stories That Sol diers Shot Many. SAN FRANCISCO,. May 5. The records of Coroner Walsh disprove the widely circulated stories that large numbers of people were shot and killed by the sol diers during the great fire that followed the earthquake. Of all the cases handled by this official and his. deputies, in only one was it found that death was due to gunshot-' wounds. . The exception was Heber Tilden, killed by a civic guardsman, who -had the-mistaken idea that the au tomobile in which Tilden was riding was being used for looting purposes. The military authorities have records of two caaes of killings for disobedience of mili tary orders, but there is not a single rec ord, of any person being shot to death for looting. - t , - , "My office- has' reports showing 358 deaths." said the Coroner today.

AS TO ADVERTISING The Merchant Who Builds Up HIS Business Through Publicity and the Doctor Who Does the Same. The most peculiar ftilng in life is hu man nature and its contradictions. What is right for one man or woman to do is quite wrong for another. Ask those who approve the one and condemn the other why and they will not be ablo to give a reasonable answer. It is all right for one "man, for instance, to advertise his business, but it is equally wrong for an other man to do so. It is all right for tho merchant to inform the public that he lias some $1 silks which he is selling for M cents and a package of toothpicks thrown in, but let a doctor advertise that ; he has a particular remedy for a particular form of trouble and see what a howl will go up from the other doctors. And yet all doctors advertise when they get a chance. The only difference between doctors In this matter is that some of them pay for their advertisements and the others do not. But in both cases the value of the advertising is recognized One of the greatest advertisers in this country is Dr. Ray V. Pierce, of Buf falo, N. Y.. head of the famous V. oria s Dispensary Medical Association, which manufacture "those widely and favorably known remedies, the "Favorite Prescrip tion" and the "Golden Medical Discov ery." Dr. Pierce, like . other men who have dealings with the public, knows that the only way to sell goods Is to let the people know that you have them to sell. A merchant might have the finest line of goods in the world and at the right prices, but if he did not let the people know about them those goods would stay right on his shelves. And it is so with the patent medicine business. The pro prietor must let the people know that he has a remedy which will accomplish cer tain results, that he is prepared to give them careful and scientific treatment by mail and the terms on which he will do so. Then those who need his services will go to him. They can't be reached any other way. Then why condemn the man who advertises a cure any more than the man who advertises a necktie? But there is another point about this business of advertising. Fake advertise ments may carry a business for a time, but not for long. Lincoln used to say that you conld not fool all the people all the time. That has been proved many times. A business which, like Dr. Pierce-?, has stood the test of nearly 40 years, which has borne the brunt of many an attack directed by ignorance or malice, could not "lave reached its present mam moth proportions on misrepresentations or fake advertisements. There must ho something more than that as its founda tion. There must be honor and honesty In dealing with the public; else there will be failure. The Pierce Remedies were anions those) which a certain prominent journal recent ly charged not to be what they were ad vertised to lie. But-- an immediate llhol suit for $200,000 brought by Dr. Pierce led to a speedy retraction of the charge.
