Move to Prevent BltulitWc Georgo
tHirveau and Others Favor liilullth
ic Ag-iinst Anything Yet Suggested.
Up to this afternoon no remon
trance against the paving of Main
and Court streets had been started,
and friends of paving are hopeful that
such will not be done.
"W. F. Matlock said this morning
that the story In the Tribune this
morning was unwarranted, as far as
he 1 concerned. He says he Is not
heading any remonstrance and does
not know that he will remonstrate
against paving. He wishes to tnlk
the matter over with property owners
before making up his mind In the
matter. However, he Is disposed to
favor macadam rather fhan paving,
and snys he would ' rather see 20
streets macadamized than Tour paved.
Among Main street property owners
who have desired paving there Is now
a feeling of elation over the prospect
of getting the Improvement. They
declare there Is now no reason on
earth why a remonstrance should be
started, as the council has thoroughly
Investigated the matter and the mem
ben acted unanimously hi selecting
bttuilthlc.
George Darveau declares himself
flatly against macadam for Main
mreei, ana says ne will Tight any
movement to Improve with that ma
terial Instead of a hard pavement
Mort of the other local property
owners are of the same sentiment.

Announcement was made this fore
noon that a capitalist lawyer will
erect a 12-story steel structure on

site of the burned Hotel Rex, a new
10-story steel building.
Southern Pacific officials state that
780 tralnloads of refugees were sent
out between Wednesday and Sunday
night, carrying 225,000 persons. This
exodus Is now over, and after Thurs
day no more free transportation will
oe given without special orders from

ture. The St. Francis will be reha
bilitated as will the Fairmont.
Effort Is being made to keep all
ablebodled men here.
W. J. Barnett, of the Western Paci
fic says plans for making San Fran
cisco the most beautiful city In the i
world will soon be under way and that
all funds needed will be forthcoming
when required. The Intention Is to
follow the suggestions embodied In the
report of Architect Daniel Burnham
for the beautlflcatlon of the city.
Announcement Is made that the
banks will have at their disposal
$100,000,000 when business Is resum
ed. All bank vaults examined are
found to be in good condition, but
will not bo opened for two or three
weeks, owing to the Intense heat
Demand to Recall State Troops.
Serious friction between the militia
and police has caused a strong de
mand for the withdrawal of the state
troops, which will likely be recalled
today. Militiamen have arrested po
licemen, and In some Instances com
pelled them to work on the streets.
Chief Dinan sent a sharp warning to
stop this and also cease Impressing
citizens for work.

tive Thomas Gibson, all records of

transferred from the mint to the Oak
land banks to be available to deposlt
orse, to immediately relieve their
pressing needs. The Berkeley banks
also received a large amount. Ship
ment of coin across the bay continues.
How Oakland Was Saved. j
A. R. Diamond, a Portinn.i ,-i
estate dealer, who returned from San
Francisco Saturday, stated that in his
oener tne reason there was no confla
gration In Oakland following the
earthquake, was owing to the presence
of mind of the electrical engineer In
charge of the power house and gener
ator of that city, who immediately on
experiencing the shock, turned off the
current all over the city, says the
Portland Oregonlnn. Had this been
done In Snn Francisco, Mr. Diamond
believes much of the seriousness of
the conflagration there would have
been abated, for mORt of the fires orig
inated from short circuited and cross
ed wires, and from broken gas pipes
and mains.

NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Governor Chamberlain Says Oregon Is
Giving Freely to San Francisco.
Governor Chamberlain was asked If
he Intended to convene the legislature
In special session in compliance with
the telegraphic request of Senators
Fulton and Gearln in order that an ap
propriation might be made for the re
lief of the sufferers from earthquake
and conflagration at San Francisco
and other places In California, says the j
Salem Statesman.
In reply he stated that while he
fully appreciates the motives which
prompted the telegrams referred, to,
he does not feel that It would be Just
to the people of the state or show a
proper spirit to the good people of
California to undertake to levy an en
forced contribution and to thereby de
prive our citizens of the magnificent
reply which they have made to the
call for aid from their friends and
neighbors In California.
"Within 24 hours after the disaster
carloads of supplies and hundreds of
thousands of dollars were voluntarily
contributed by workers In every fac
tory, field and farm, and by every
city, town and hamlet In the state,"
said Governor Chamberlain. "The
world has never witnessed such mag
nificent and immediate generosity.
Not only have cities and towns con
tributed, but the people In the inter
ior everywhere have hastened to
points along the line of railway and
other transportation facilities and
generously donated money, supplies
and clothing sufficient to answer Im
mediate and pressing demands.
"The ladles of the state In the cities,
in the field and on the farm have pre
pared bread and other supplies to
meet pressing needs, and altogether
there has been shown a disposition
everywhere to meet the necessities of
the occasion.
