To several people during his life- time Chief Sullivan imparted the in formation that he believed San Fran- cisco would some day get a quake that would disrupt the water mains and that in that he had mapped out the fight he would make in case such a temblor ever came. Among those to whom be spoke about this was Clar- ence Waterhouse, the horseman. Only last summer up at Shasta the n chief was talking about the possibility of an earthquake that would break the water mains in San Franecisco and at the same time break the mains and shut off the water supply,” said Wa- terhouse yesterday. “He said he be- lieved there would be such a gquake some day and that the only salvation of the ecity would be dynamite. He said he had flgured out Jjust™ what buildings and blocks he would dyna- mite, according to which direction the fire was sweeping. He had a diagram red, where It was no one knew, for the chief was never in a condi- tion to tell after being injured. “It looks as if the incapacitating of the chief was part of the terrible plan fate worked out to destroy San Fran- cisco.” ——————————————— WANT ALL CITIZENS TO REPORT IRREGULARITIES Military Authorities Determined to Right Any Unsanitary or Unsafe Conditions in the City. e military authorities desire all cit- £ to report any irregularities, such as unsanitary conditions or danger from fire, to the nearest section com- mander.

He states that bodies. were buried in various cemeteries of which no ree- ord had been made and that the re- moval of bo from one resting place to another been the occasion of much confusfon. Many communicatfons have been received by mail giving in- formation of #leaths, but in many in- stances the details have been meagre and . insuficient to complete records.
