This source of a water supply, Phelan continued, was agreed upon by Engineers Grunsky, Mendell and Manson as the best and most available supply San Francisco could possibly obtain, and had the advantage | over all other sources in being free,| other sources being offered by private, parties who wished to enrich them-i selves through the sale of their rights to the clty. This question will be glven thorough investigation by the committee on reconstruction At yesterday’s meeting of tha com- mittee Governor Pardee and Presideat Spear of the Board of Harbor Com- missioners | were present. Mayor Schmitz said that in view of the fact that the chief executive of the State was present he would call upon those present to make any suggestions they could as to questions relating to the proposed special session of the Legis- lature and upon the improvement of the harbor front and docks. Garret McEnerney sald that some sections of the State had expressed a desire to have a cessation of the legal holidays, but that it was the wish of this city that should the Governor de- clde to discontinue them San Fran- cisco should be given a week’s notice, that all might prepare for the changed conditions; that banking, commercial and contractual rights might be pro- tected. Governor Pardee answered that his putpose in declaring holidays was solely to protect these interests, and stated that he would give all ample time in which to prepare should he detide to discontinue them. He fur- ther stated that the Legislature might meet while the legal holidays were still in force, his statement containing the suggestion that he will call the Legis- lature to meet and make such legisla- tion as may be necessary before he throws down the bars to legal action now stayed by the holiday proclama- tion. Charles S. Spear, president of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, re- assured the committes by stating that for all practical purposes the harbor front is practically intact. While he estimated that it would take $700,000 to repair the damage wrought by earthquake and fire, he said the front could now place 6,000,000 tons in transit yearly, which was only a trifle less than the capacity of the front before the disaster. It 1s the purpose, he pointed out, to extend the belt road and make other improvements in the future, but for the present emergency the front is in good working condition ter of fire Insurance comtracts were not strictly adkered to by the adjust- ers. It is hoped that the conference proposed by tbe Mayor may result in a relaxation of the bureau’s decision in & way that would not imperll the smaller companies. ‘When the general adjustment has been made, however, each company will be free to make any rulipg it may find expedient. It is probable that the larger and stronger companies will deal liberally with their policy holders. In- | deed, it is generally believed that the leading companies wil] extend their policies to cover losses from either earthquake or dynamite. ——————— VICTIM OF QUAKE AND FIRE COMMITS SUICIDE IN EAST Jumps From the Deck of Ferry-Boat into the East River and Is Drowned. NEW YORK, May 8.—An unidentl- fled man jumped from a ferry-boat into the East River last night and was drowned. Frederick Waterloo, a deckhand, had been talking to the man just before he jumped. He told Waterloo that he had lost nineteen houses in the San Francisco earth- quake and was practically a ruined man. He was about 60 years old and had sandy bair and a mustache. Ha wore a frock coat, silk Dhat, gray gloves and low shoes. et (e METHODISTS ARE TO RAISE $75,000 TO HELP CHURCHES Funds to Be Used to Aid Parishes and Schools Which Su’".red From the Quake. SAN JOSE, May 8.—The board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church will' raise $750,000 to assist the churches and denominational schools in California, and it is under- stood that the University of the Pa- cifio will share in this money. The damage to Bast Hall and Music Hall will aggregate probably $25,000, but all other buildings are intact and daily studies are being pursued as usual. ly informed of the action of the com- mittes by James D. Phelan, chairman of the flnance committee, The fact that many photographers are photographing fire-charred ruins and labeling the same as earthquake- shattered ruins and spreading the same broadcast throughout the country re- cetved the attention of the committea. It was pointed out that ona Seattle paper is persistently asserting that San Francisco has tried to cover up the ef- fects of the earthquake by referring to the fire, and to counteract this effect
