Woodburn, Ore., April 29.—The ar­ rival of bloodhounds at the scene of the man bunt near Woodburn is be­ ing anxiouslv awaited by the authorities and the posée». The dog» are expected from Portland on the morning trains, and will be hurried at once to the point where Prank Smith, the outlaw, was fired at on Saturday afternoon, unless a fresher trail is found in the meantime. Great confidence is felt in the outcome of the hunt with trained hounds. In the dense underbrush men can follow the trail only at a great disadvantage; they might easily pass within a dozen feet of their quarry and not know it. The bounds will be kept in leash so that the posse may keep close behind them. A detachment o f cool-headed, courageous men who can be depended upon to take chances against the out­ law will follow the dogs. It is now uni­ versally believed that Smith is in the brush east of Woodburn, as stated yes­ terday, and that he is within a very few miles of the town. Frank Smith in a desperate criminal. He robbed a grocery store and postoffice at Troutdale, April 22. He was arrest­ ed in Portland the following day, broke jail Tuesday morning, April 24, in a most daring manner, tried to rob a jew ­ elry store at Oregon City, and shot and killed Policeman Hanlon when the lat­ ter attempted to arrest him. April 25 he broke into the. Can by postoffice and secured provisions and again escaped. He was next heard o f at McKee, the morning “of the 26th, and later in the day made his appearance near Wood- bum. On the night of the 27th, while large posses were in search of the fugi­ tive, he suddenly appeared on the raii- road track south of Woodburn and shot and fatally wounded Sheriff Shaver, of Clackamas county, and Captain O. D. Henderson, o f the Woodburn O. N. O. Both men died of their wounds. Since the shooting of Henderson and Shaver the man-hunters have not sighted the fugitive. ________________ __ OREGON STATE HENS OF INTEREST NEW LAND SEEDED MUST OBSERVE REGULATIONS.

San Francisco, April 27.— The first important atep toward re-establishing trade relation» in Gan Francisco was taken tonight when tbe realty men held a hurried consultation with more than fifty important merchants. The object of the meeting was to secure temporary quarters for the wholesalers, six of whom announced they were forced to go into bueiness immediately. The meeting was called without warn­ ing, ao the real estate men were not prepared to offer sites. It was decided that the two bodies meet again Satur­ day morning at 10,* to make final ar­ rangements. The realty men diacovered that the wholesalers were all ready to move acroea tbe bay. The chairman of the meeting, Mr. Triest, announced that lund was offered the wholesalers in Oak­ land practically free o f charge for a period o f two years. Triest asked the real estate men for figures and location sites, saying the wholesalers wanted them immediately. From his manner o f expression it would appear that some o f the wholesale mer­ chants were ready to desert San Fran­ cisco and locate in Oakland until such time at least as San Francisco could be rebuilt. The wholesalers announced their in­ tention to congregate in one district if possible. They preferred the southern part of the city because o f the railroad facilities there. When the real estate men mentioned several sites in the vicinity o f North Beach the merchants said these would have to receive sec­ ond call, as they wanted south o f Mar­ ket street, if such a location were at all possible. Tbe wholesalers said most o f their members were willing to be housed un­ der one or two roofs at the present time, and that they could manage with such quarters for at least a year. They then asked the real estate men for fig­ ures on buildings. It was impossible for the latter to furnish this data under present conditions, so the wholesalers agreed to wait for a few days for their answer. The wholesalers announced that six of their members would require at least 100,000 square feet. Before the meet­ ing adourned others told the realty men that they intended to join with the six in reopening right away, and, in rough figures, it is estimated that the mer­ chants will need at least 1,000,000 square feet o f ground space. A fter a lengthy discussion, the real estate men finally managed to restrain the merchants from further action un­ til another conference can be held Sat- ururday morning. DROPS OUT OF SIGHT NAY BE NEW PARIS Bloodhounds Cannot Find Track Daniel Burnham Tells ol San ol Murderer Smith. Francisco’s Opportunity. SOME THINK OUTLAW IS DEAD MAY REPEAT FEAT OF NAPOLEON Majority Believe He Is Hiding in Vicin­ Says Ground o f His Plan— May G o T o Routed Out. Burned City, Woodburn, Ore., May 1.— Outlaw Frank Smith is a remarkable field gen­ eral, a lucky man, or a corpse. Each one of the three theories has many ad­ herents in Woodburn today. Those who believe he is dead, however, are in the minority, most everyone preferring to think that he is «till hiding in the country about Woodburn, and that he will eventually be routed out. Today has been one of many rumors and reports, but no material develop­ ments. Bloodhound^and men were not able to locate, his rendezvous or to get any well-defined trail. A report reach­ ing here late last night that Smith had appeared near Newberg was generally discredited. It is not thought possible that he could have, got across the Wil­ lamette and into the Newberg district without foraging around the farms and thus leaving a clear trail behind. Bloodhounds Are Tried. The principal interest in the man­ hunt yesterday was centered about the bloodhounds which arrived here on the morning train from Portland. A great crowd was at the depot to see the dogs, but when the trailers were taken into the. woods to work only picked men were permitted to go along. The dogs were first taken to the spot where Smith, or someone answering his de­ scription, was fired upon Saturday morn­ ing. This trail was fifty hours old, but the dogs took it up and followed it through the woods for a mile or more, before losing it. At 3 o ’clock this search was abandoned. At noon what is yet thought by many to have been a fresh trail was reported. A man whose description tallies with Smith, appeared at the home of S. D. Roberts, a mile south o f town. He was seen peering in a window by Artie Roberts. According to that b o y 's story when spoken to the stranger ran back into the thick woods, a hundred yards from the house, and was seen no more. Those who investigated found foot­ prints resembling those left by Smith when he ran out o f Woodburn after shooting down Captain Henderson and Captain Shaver. Late in the afternoon the bloodhounds SANTA BOBA TO BE REBUILT. were put on the trail and worked well for a time. The dogs got off the scent Entire Business Section o f City Do in a ploughed field.

The entire business section o f the town was destroyed and many resi­ dences went down. Twenty fires started, but the water supply was unimpaired, and within three hours the flames were under con­ trol. Cut off by the disaster from com­ munication with the rest o f the world, Santa Rosa knew nothing o f the de­ struction of San Francisco until the ar­ rival from there o f a trainload o f nearly 1,000 refugees, begging for help that could not be given, but nearby towns came to the rescue, and hfter a period of starvation and suffering aid "was re­ ceived. The courthouse, the new Masonic tern ile, the new library and the Odd Fel- ow s’ building went with the other buildings, but larger and better »true tures will replace them. It is the intention of business men at once to begin rebuilding. The savings hank o f Santa Rosa occupied a $40,000 building. Its new one, which will be an office building, will cost $250,000. Con Shea, who lost five buildings, worth $100,000, says that his five* new ones will be worth twice that sum. The same spirit is manifested by all who have been interviewed. As soon ns the dead were buried busi­ ness men began clearing a passageway through the streets and teams were put to work hauling the rubbish to waiting freight cars. f Fissures Open in the Earth. Oakland, Cal., April 27.—Word comes from the district between Milpitas and Alviso, on the south arm of San Fran­ cisco bay, that fissures have opened in the earth, and water is flowing over the surface. The section is known as the artesian belt, hundreds o f wells flowing perennially and supplying means o f irri­ gating large areas. Such wells require capping to restrain the flow under ordi­ nary conditions, and recent disturbance o f the earth’s surface has released sub­ terranean streams Roads in this local­ ity are flooded and impassable. Miners Offer New Terms. Wiikesbarre, Pa., April 27__ President Mitchell, of the United Mineworkers, tonight made publie two proposals, to­ gether with a recommendation for an­ other joint conference submitted by the anthracite miners’ scale committee to President Baer and his hssociates. The first proposal asks for an increase in wages ranging from 5 to 15 per cent, according to the wages now received. The second proposal asks for an ad­ vance equal to 10 cents per ton upon the total production o f coal to be added to the wages of employes. Japanese Offer Hospital Ship. Washington, April 27.—In response to the offer o f the Japanese government to send a hospital ship at top speed to San Francisco, the state department has replied that owing to the rapidity with which the country haa come to the re­ lief o f the distressed city it may be safely estimated that there will exist no need for the ship by the time she could cross the Pacific. The preaideat stated his appreciation of the spirit which dictated this offer. Stasi People to Bush Orders.

Phelan, chairman of the Red Cross and relief committee in San Francisco, and he was advised that $1,000,000 more is at the disposal of the committee. Judge W. W. Morrow, president o f tho California branch o f the Red Cross, ail- vised the Red ( ’rosa today that it will be better from this time on for the so­ ciety to send money to California rath­ er than food and provisions, as the im­ mediate needs are provided for. Dr. Edward T.

Chicago, April 28__ Daniel H. Burn­ ham, the architect who drew the plans for beautifying San Francisco, returned to his home here yesterday from Europe. He said San Francisco now has it with­ in its power to rebuild itself into one o f the most beautiful and convenient cities in the world. Mr. Burnham, on his arrival, found awaiting him a message from James D. Phelan, president o f the association for tbe improvement and adornment of San Francisco, asking him to go at once to that city. He replied that he could not say until Monday whether or not he could go. Mr. Burnham said: “ The two chief features o f my plan, which can now be carried into effect, are those relating to the cutting of diagonal streets and the construction of a splen­ did outer boulevard which will encircle the whole city. “ San Francisco has a chance to do what Louis Napoleon did in Paris in 1851—the opportunity to make itself one o f the beauty spots o f the w o rld ." BUILDING MOVEMENT IS ON Mrs. Oelrlchs Declares Purpose—Magee to BaUd Steel Structure. San Francisco, April 28.—The. work of rebuilding San Francisco will pro­ ceed rapidly. Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, o f New York, has agreed to repair the Rialto building and to build again on the site of the Crosley. She and her sister, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., have also stated that they will put up solid office structures on their Montgomery street site. Thomas Magee, a real estate dealer, will start for New York on May 1 to complete arrangements for the. erection o f a 12-story steel building on Market street, just above the Mutual Bank building. The Emporium, a large department store, will resume business on a large scale next week. A temporary structure will be built at the corner of Post and Van Ness avenue. In two weeks seven floors of the new Monadnock building, which was in course of construction at the time of the disaster, will be filled with offices. Capitalists are. not in the least dis­ mayed or disheartened. James D. Phe­ lan, chairman o f the finance committee and multi-millionaire, said: “ Before the earthquake I was asked by certain capitalists to erect a large hotel on the site o f the Phelan building, at Market and O ’Farrell streets. Since the disaster the proposition has been repeated and even urged. This shows most decidedly that there is no lack o f faith in the future o f the c it y ."

They reached Des Moines today. “ The soldier is supreme in San Fran­ c is c o ," said Mr. Shostro. “ On the slightest provocation they shoot a citi­ zen down and nobody has thus far ques­ tioned the act. There, has been lots of looting by vandals, but the soldiers have committed wholesale plunder also. I know that when buildings were to be blown up tho soldiers would go inside, blow open and loot the safes and then dynamite the walls. I saw lots o f sol­ diers with their pockets bulging with booty that I knew had been stolen, and I overheard one in uniform bragging that he had stolen $2,000 worth o f dia­ monds. Another told o f a fine gold watch he had secured, he said, in this manner."
