A problem confronting the Mayo."l and the General Committee is whether further efforts should be made to .in- duce the people camped in the hills, parks and squares to leave the city. It is known that there will be work for all men here, therefore the policy of transporting people to surrounding fowns is questioned. The Mayor gives | assurance that all men who desire to return and accept employment can| have free transportation. Of course, | everything is free going out. The au-!| thorities suggest that the women and | children should go to points where | | comfort prevails and the men stay in‘ San Francisco ready to accept work. The impressment order has heeni canceled. The Mayor wants every- | body to know that work will be paid | for. The Mayor also makes it plain that all the tents of the country are | coming tnis way. General Funston has ordered that all tented camps should be conducted according to army regulations as to space, trenches | and general sanitation.

Webster street, near Maple Hall, ' ¢ H COLLEGE DOORS CLOSE FOR YEAR The farreaching effects of the earthquake is seen in the action of the Academic Council of the Univer- sity of California in closing the doors of the State institution of learning for the academic year. This action Wwas taken yesterday at Berkeley. Every able-bodied male student is I ed under -military rule and is for- bidden to leave the grounds except by permission of the proper dean. Mem- bers of the cadet corps must, in addi- tion, have the permission of the com- mandant. The young women of the university may go to their homes upon approval of Miss Sprague, the women’s ad- visor. The regulations requiring all stu- dents to take final examinations are suspended for the current academic year. BANKS WILL GET FEDERAL MONEY WASHINGTON, April 23.—Secre- tary Shaw has given directions that $15,000,000- of public money be dis- tributed among the national banks of San Francisco and immediate vicin- ity, which will include Oakland, as; soon as the banks furnish the neces- sary securities. The Secretary was in Chicago today and his directions to this effect were wired to the Treasury Department late this afternoon. LOS ANGELES CARING FOR ARMY OF REFUGEES | LOS ANGELES, April 23.—A great erected at Agricultural Park by the! local relief committee for the accom- modation of the hosts of San Fran- cisco refugees who are arriving by the hundreds and which number is ex-! pected to reach in the neighborhood of 50,000 within ten days. Probably 5000 have already arrived in Los An- geles. Not all of them nor, in fact, any large portion of them are without | means. Two thousand came in yes-| terday and hundreds more are arriv- ing today. { On one Southern Pacific train that came in last night there was a total | of 800 passengers, and it is stated that ! there was scarcely a fare paid on the | | train. Eleven student refugees from Stan- | ford University have reached this city on the coast line train that left San Jose after the earthquake. They were the first to leave the scene of the dis- aster, bringing with them the story of the Stanford ruins. P L L O STRAIN CAUSES WOMAN TO LOSE HER REASON. OGDEN, Utah, April 23.—Six hun- dred and forty-four refugees reaghed Ogden at noon and they are now be- ing fed by the local relief committee. The mental strain of the fleeing peo- ple is best illustrated in the misfor- tune of Mrs. Ida Reed. She left Oak- land apparently sound in mind, but when the tension was relieved by a realization that she was safely lo- cated on the refugee train bound east, aer mind gave way and she is now detained here in the City Jail. Her destination was Waverly, Iowa. Her ten-year-old son is being cared for dur- ing his mother’s derangement by the ladies of the relief committee. The flight of the refugees can only be likened to that of a retreating army. The people arriving today from their! homes without time to even properly clothe themselves. Some are hatless and coatless and others are garbed in misfits donated by the relief commit- tees between Oakland and Ogden. They all have the same story to tell of horror. Nearly all the refugees on this train are bound for Chicago. POS AT Y TWENTY-THREE TRAINS COME WITH SUPPLIES CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 23.—With- in the past thirty-six hours twenty- three special trains loaded with pro- visions and supplies for the San Fran- cisco sufferers have passed through Cheyenne on passenger train schedule. Eight more will pass through before noon tomorrow. The Union Pacific is giving these trains the right of way over even the overland Limited and the fast mails. In ad- dition to these special trains about twenty-five carloads of relief supplies have passed through attached to pas- senger and mail trains. DTN ER MILLION AND A HALF ~MORE FROM GOVERNMENT WASHINGTON, April 23.—The Senate passed a resolution appropriat- ing $1,500,00 for the San Francisco sufferers. The House concurred in the Senate amendment to the San Francisco re- lief resolution appropriating $1,500,000. e e e LIGHTHOUSE IS DESTROYED. ASTORIA, Or., April 23.—Steamer Alliance, which arrived this morning from Eureka, reports that the Point Arena lighthouse was destroyed by the earthquake. The vessel, while off Eureka Wednesday morning, was se- verely shaken. The captain thought she had struck bottom, but after mak- ing soundings found she was in twelve fathoms of water. The captain became alarmed and changed. his course to westward. L c ST REVENUE RECORDS SAVED. WASHINGTON, April 23.—Tele- grams from revenue officers in San Francisco state all records, stamps and papers of their offices are in good condition, and that they will be ready for business tomorrow. A temporary internal revenue office will be opened in Oakland. e o S Hereafter all contributions for the Relief Fund should be addressed to James D. Phelan, chairman Finance Committee, Pine and Fillmore. | the State Supreme Court, has disap- FIREMAN'S FUND. LOSES RECORDS The haste of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company officials to dis- cover the condition of the contents of their vault resulted in the de- struction by fire today of valuable records which otherwise would have been preserved to them. The vault at 401 California street, where the company’s officers were located before Lhe fire, was opened today while still ot. The instant that the contents were exposed a draft of cold air swirled in, igniting the crisp, almost red hot, con tents of the safe, so that they burned completely before any measures tc preserve them could be taken. The affair is expected to serve as a warning to all the owners of vaults containing valuaable papers, it being the opinion of experts that it will be unsafe to attempt this operation until WIFE OF JUDGE SHAW HAS NOT BEEN FOUND LOS ANGELES, April 23.—Mrs. Lucien Shaw, wife of Judge Shaw of peared in the war of the elements that raged last week in San Francisco. At daylight Thursday morning the | Shaw apartments on Post street, San Francisco, were burned. Mrs. Shaw | fled with the refugees to the hills. | Judge Lucien Shaw went north on a special train Wednesday morning that cleared from here for the Oakland | mole. Thursday morning at daybreak he reached his apartments on Post | street. Flames were burning fiercely. | A friend told him that his wife had fled just a few minutes before. She carried only a few articles in a hand satchel. For two days and nights Judge Shaw wandered over hills and through | the parks about San Francisco seeking among the 200,000 refugees for his | wife. ! During that heart-breaking quest, | according to his own words, he had | “no sleep, little food and less water.” At noon Saturday he gave up the | search and hurried back to Los An- | geles, hoping to find that she had ar- i rived before him. | DETENTION HOSPITAL | 1S NOW IN OPERATION | The Insanity Commissioners an-| nounce that a detention hospital is | being established in the basement of | the convent of the Holy Family, situ-| ated at Hayes and Fillmore streets. | The sisters of the Holy Family have | furnished beds and bedding and will | allow the use of the basement of the Convent until such time as the com- missioners can secure larger quarters.} Dr. Russell Cool, dentist, offers his | services free to sufferers at his office | at 2027 California street.
