LOAFERS TO GET DESERTS. e greatest difficuity that has yet eonfrunted us has been the distribu- tion of food and supplies at the various depots. We have found that in many instances the unworthy were receiving double and treble rations, while worthy gamilies who have lost all were in dire want because they could not bring themselves to stand in line with theloaf- ers who abused the charity extended to them. Today the committee has per- fected & system whereby those abuses wil] cease immediatelly and no family hereafter will be allowed to want for the necessities of life. The new work will be under the direct supervision of Carl] Plehn of the San Francisco School Department and a representative of the Red Cross Soclety. These two will en- Net the aid of every school teacher in and such members of the Redl volunteer to act. This will make a house to ass in that portion of the city unburnei and ascertain the num- ber of cl and adults in each household. n the recommendation of the investigator a subsistence card wi Tpo presentation of this card at the proper depot one army ration for each person named thereon will be is- sued. A strict adherence to the mill- tary ration will be observed In each instance. We have now on hand, on an army ration basis, supplies enough to feed the people for three weeks.” SUPPLIES TO GO TO THE ARMY. Federal Officials Will Supervise Dis- | tribution of Food. With a view to centralizing the dis- tribution of food, clothing and other rticles of rellef, the executive com- | mittee of the Red Cross Soclety has| decided to turn over to the army all supplies that it will receive, and rec- ommends that all private supply com- es do the same. It was decided the placing under one head of| the distribution of necessities would both economize the service and pre- i fraudulent drawing of rations. With that end In view it is earnest- ly requested that all private relief committees from outside and local districts will turn over to Major C. A. Devol, quartermaster at the Presidio warehouses, all supplies on hand and all that may be later recelved. In this| way the United States Government will system perfected in conjunction with | the Red Cross Soclety and the relief | committee. Major General Greely has an- nounced that only certain requisitions will be recognized by the army, these requisitions to be sanctioned by Ma- jor Devol Cards will be issued by the committee on distribution of re- lief to all citizens needing supplies and these will be duly honored when pre- sented at the branch Government re- lief stations. REGISTRATION BUREAU. A central registration bureau has| been established in the Hamilton | School, 2001 Geary street, near Scott. There all applicants for relief will be| enrolled. The registration will also| be conducted at each of the relief sta- tions under the supervision of the central bureau. One card will be drawn up for each family or group of persons living to- gether. Each station will keep a set of registration cards covering all the families within its territory who a ply for relief. This set will be re- ferred to each time a food card is re- newed or other relief i{s granted, and on any occasion when it may be nec- essary to verify the right of a person to a food card or other rellef.

If the applicant is not found where reported rellef will be suspended until the applicant shows to the satisfac- tion of the officers of the station that he belongs In their district. All kinds of stories have been set afloat because of the fact that the Mint is not paying savings accounts. Many persons have circulated the report that | none of those banks will be able to pay depositors in full because they are sup- posed to have loaned great sums on real jestate.

To facilitate a uniform system of checking the issue of supplies, the Registration Bureau has prepared a| ten-day food card, which will be sup- plied to rellef stations as soon as such stations can arrange to use the new plan, The food card is simple in form and the requirements for its use so flexible as to meet the conditions in every station. It bears around the edge a row of numbers from 1 to 31, corresponding to the days of the month. When issuing it the station |/ officer will enter on it the station number, its own number in order of issue, and corresponding to the num- ber on the registration cards, and, in a conspicuous square near the top, in the middle, the number of rations (a ration is a day's supply for one adult person, children under 12 take a half ration each), necessary to supply the family. The food card will be kept in sight, placed in the hat band or pinned to the clothes while the person getting the supplies is at the serving station. The number of rations to be issued, as indicated on the card, will serve as a guide to the assistants who give out the supplies, suggesting to them how much food should be issued. When the rations are beilng issued the checking officer, before admitting the person to the space before the supply counters, will examine each food card, note whether it is drawn on| his station, dlso that the time for| which it was issued has not expired, ! and will cancel in the margin the number corresponding to the day of| | that the sum of $90,000 was pald out to | the men, who have been doing such , splendid work during the last ten days Two hundred thousand dollars in gold |and notes were transferred from the | City Hall and placed in the vaults of the bank. Out of this sum the fire- | men will receive their salaries to-mo- | row. The teachers will be paid next Mon- day and in the meantime city officlals | and employes of the different branches of the municipal government can cash their warrants. There is still $5,600,000 in the vaults | at the City Hall. This will be removed /to the Western National Bank, where it is needed, as the Treasurer believes it is safe in its present repository. ——— Thank People of Oakland. OAKLAND, May 2.—The Baggage Messengers' and Transferers’ Union, Local No. 10167, has adopted resolu- tions thanking the citizens of Oakland for generous relief, and particulariy the Oakland Traction Consolidated for liberal transportation privileges grant- ied the union’s members in the dis- tress. tunity for reopening each case and ascertaining the necessity for contin- ulng the rellef. The transfer of a food card from one person to another will be prevented In most cases by the | fact that such transfer cuts off the rightful holder's own supplies (the | ticket . being honored but once in any | glven day). | The order outlining this reliet | scheme makes this noble suggestion to | subordinate officers: “Station officers are urged to bear/in mind constantly that the prevention of fraud and of abuses Is entirely a minor matter, subordinate in every sense to the prompt and effective re- Southwest Corner Cali- fornia and Gough Streets, san Francisco.
