Inspectors of Chimneys Will Commence on Task Next Monday, The Board of Public Works met vesterday and discussed the various estimates for next years expenses. The total amount for which an ap- propriation will be asked will be in excess of $1,000,000. This sum will, if allowed, be spent in an endeavor to get that portion of San Francisco owned by the public into somewhere near the shape it was before the disaster. The sum of $2683,000 is needed to re- palr what 1is left of the municipal buildings and pay the officials. About $30,000 is necessary for salaries in the main office of the board. The City Engineer wanted $100,000, but his es- timate will eventually be cut mate- rially. The sewer system {is esti- mated to need $60,000 for repairs by the superintendent, but that amount is deemed wholly inadequate by Pres- ident Maestrettl. It is expected that the figures will be revised today. The Works Board will not be able until Monday. The supply of water is so meager and intermittent at pres- with the president of the board. The different bureaus of the de- partment were directed to send in tabulated lists of the property lost through the catastrophe and also supplies are indispensable to the work for the ensuing year. The board decided that no person \ could erect even a temporary one-story building without complying with the plumbing and drainage ordinances. The Police Department is requested to see that this regulation is adhered | to. The complaint of Captain Gray that the men on duty at the Fourth-street bridge are impudent without cause was found groundless. It appeared from the evidence adduced by the ac- cused that the tongues of steamship and tugboat captaips have seemed mduly sharp since the big shake. The| men at the bridge only replied in kind. | It is apparent that things seem more d the bridge than in front of Lotta's fountaln. GAS SITUATION 15 IMPROVING The San Francisco Gas and EHlectrio Company is now ready to furnish gas to all its customers that ask for it in the unburned district. In the burned district it is following the rebuilding of the city and is supplying gas for motive power in factories. The mains of the company were badly shattered by the earthquake, and the plants at North Beach, and Francesca and Fillmore streets, wrecked. The three plants known as the Martin, Potrero and Independent stations were not badly hurt, and they are the ones that are now doing all of the supplying. Immediately after the fire the un- hurt plants were kept “under fire,” that is, ready to manufacture gas, and Engineer E. C. Jones turned a great gang of men to the repairing of mains and plpes. The mains had been broken in a hundred places. On May 7 the first gas was turned on to test the trunk line, and the United States Mint was the first consumer connect- the unburned district were alight. The inspection of houses wishing gas turned on is going on rapidly. Each inspector is accompanied by & spect a house, and if there be no faulty fixtures or defective pipes the meter is tested by disconnecting it through it. After that it is recon- nected, the gas is turned on in the house pipe and the test dial of the meter is watched for five minutes. If no movement is detected the gas is turned on at the fixtures and lighted, after which the consumer signs an ap- s ation blank to complete the com- pany’s records. No charge is made and the employes are not allowed to receive fees. The inspection is going on system- atically by districts, but a number of special inspections have been made for hospitals, public institutions and houses where there is sickness. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage were issued yesterday: Julius Myers, 32, Portland, Or., and Bertha Pincus, 24, 1234 O'Farrell street, San Francisco. Emil R. Schrelber, 29, and Nora J.

S8ome of Occupants Accounted For, but Greater Number Thought to Be in Debris. Undertakers Make Reports of Eight Cases in Which Death Was Due to Shock From Earthquake. The body of Mrs. L. A. Kingsbury, former proprietress or the Kingsbury House at 172 Seventh street, was re- covered yesterday by her brother-in- law, Bert Kingsbury, of Reno, Nev.! Mrs. Kingsbury was caught in the| ruins of her hostelry when it collapsed | immediately after the earthquake, and before rescuers could reach her the fire had ignited the splintered structure. Just how many persons in the same | house is not known. Some of the} lodgers have been accounted for, but & number have not been heard from since the disaster. The names of per- sons occupying rooms in ‘the house were as follows: Boatswaln Hansen, wife and baby; Mrs. Fundenburg, Ed- win Fundenberg; Mrs. Duffy, son and sister; Mr. Riser, M. B. Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. McCullough, Sam Purdy and wife, Mrs. Willlam Moison, L. Todd and wife, M. Mansfield, Mrs, H. Tel- ler, Mr. Gaffery, Mr. Buonip and son, Mr. Moore, Captaln George Gamble; Mr, Stamble, wife and children; Mr. and Mrs. Morris, Harry Wilde, G. Haig? Herbert Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and son, Mr. and Mrs. Holmquist, Miss Florence Carney, Miss Emma _Free- man, Mrs. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Budon, Mr. and Mrs. Crossman, Mrs. Maude | Ransdale, Mr, and Mrs. Parvin Jones, Mrs. Doerr, Mrs. Kell, Mr. Brooke, Mr. Jacobs, John McCall and son, Mr. and Mrs. Ryan, Mr. Oswald, Mrs. Lizzie Woodward and daughter and J.

Among the deaths that resulted from shock on or soon after the day of the earthquake are the following, reportedi by undertakers to the Coroner’s omce‘ vesterday: Allce Whelen, 85 years of age, formerly of 3824 Nineteenth| street; Agnes Lewlis, 65 years of age,| who died at St. Joseph's Hospital; Ramona Sullivan, 10 months of age, who died at St. Joseph's Hospital; An- nie Whitman, 50 years or age, who died at the City and County Hospital; Bridget Cullum, 65 years of age, for- merly of 1308 Page; Michael Conlon, 72 years of age, formerly of 136 Sixth avenue; Elmer Espey, 2 years of age, formerly of 324 Third avenue, and Ann Kelly, 74 years of age, who died at| the Emergency Hospital. Patrick McElroy, a grocer, 5§ years of age, had his leg amputated shortly after injury by the earthquake and dled from the operation. SHLOON MEN ANXIDUS T0 OPEN AGAIN AND WANT HIGHER LIGENSE More than 1000 members of - thae Knights of the Royal Arch, saloon- keepers, and the California Liquor Dealers’ Assoclation held a joint- con- ference yesterday afternoon in Frank- lin Hall and discussed the necessity of reopening for business at the earliest opportunity. A committee of ten was appointed to wait upon the Police Commissioners, Mayor Schmitz and the citizens’ committee of forty, re- questing them to take immediate steps to ald the trade and to raise the sa- loon license to at least $400 a year. The saloon men and the retail liquor dealers probably suffered more from the recent disaster than any other merchants in the city, and, since the time of the disaster, nothing has been done for their relief. Bartenders and clerks in the liquor stores were thrown out of employment and most of them are without money or means of ob- taining a livelihood. The saloon-keepers say that a con- stant demand is being made upon them for beer by the vast army of la- borers now employed throughout the city. Workingmen say they are suf- fering from thirst and are unable to drink the poisonous water. They say they will be satisfled with beer and| belleve they are entitled to a limited quantity each day. Acting on this suggestion, the saloon men and the retallers will ask the au- thorities if some plan cannot be de- vised whereby the workmen may be supplied with the frothy liquid. They are willing to open places in specified sections of the city to supply the de-! mand. They are willing to pledge| their word that nothing but beer will be dispensed if the authorities see their way clear to grant this prayer. The saloon men are out to reform the trade. They are willing to make | concessions and are all for orderly places and warfare against the dives that formerly ' thrived here. They! are ready to accept high license, be-| lieving that this will force a large| percentage, if not all, of the undesira- ble places out of business for all time and thus place the trade on a higher plane than it has occupfed in many years. During the meeting yesterday ad- dresses were made by leading saloon- keepers and liquor dealers. All made stralghtforward talks, explaining the present sad plight of the trade and urging immediate action on the part of the workers, so that the authorities may give the case careful considera- tion. The following committee of ten was appointed by Chairman Holst to draft the resolutions that will be pre- sented to the authorities: J. Holst, chairman; C. J. Clack, secretary; E. L. Wagner, David Becker, Jesse H. Marks, Theodore Lundstedt, P. M. Mc- Gushin, Charles Mitchell, Fred Bent, D. J. A. O'Keefe. ————— Inquiry Into a Death at Zlon. CHICAGO, May 16.—Investigation into the manner of the death of Mrs. Ruth Cantel, wife of Overseer H. E. Cantel of Zion City, has been demanded by her brother, Harry Stevens of Paso Robles, Cal., and it is posible that her body will be exhumed for a post-i examina- tion. Overseer J. G. Speicher, Zion's health commissioner, who issued the per- mit for her burial, said there was noé cause for an inquest, although he would not object to it. - e Secure Warehouse' Sites.

The firms are Sherwood & Sherwood, liquor | rs; Hammer, Bray Co., . hal | i | sidered. - URGES STATE . BOND ISSUE Judge- Shun_n? Fresno Ar- gues Against Raising of Tax Rate. Posterity Should Bear a Share of the Gost-of Construction. Argument against the raising of the present State rate was made yester- day morning by Judge Frank H. Short before the joint committee on call for special session of the Legislature. The speaker sald that the present rate of 51 cents on every $100 was sufficiently high, and that an_increase would keep foreign capital and corporations out of California. As a way of ralsing funds to fill tHe State treasury’s cof- fers Judge Short suggested that the Legislature be called upon to amend the constitution, so that a bond issue of many millions of dollars may be made to repair and finance all State buildings and machinery In the stricken cities. Judge Short maintained that the fu- ture generations which will receive the benefits of the I{mprovements brought about by the expenditure of the money should bear their share In the payment. In this way, with the first payment to fall due at the end of a decade of years, San Francisco and other cities can be rebuilt and the present generation have some share in bearing the expense. The suggestions of Judge Short were recelved with favor by members of the committee and he was requested to draft an amendment for adoption bv the Legislature and submit it to the committee. Representatives from San Jose, headed by Attorney John E. Richards, saild that the principal need of San Jose was money for the repair of schools, firehouses and public buildings. He said that it was necessary to ob- tain $400,000 for this work, which could be done by charter amendment. Ac- cording to law, it will take sixty-five days before amendments to the char- ter of San Jose cdn be made. In view of this, Richards asked that the com- mitee urge the speclal session, after it takes up the urgent relief legislation, to adjourn for a short time, so that when the sixty-five days have elapsed the charter amendments may be con- A representative from the State At- torney General's offite briefly ex- plained the reason for a proposed change in the banking law, giving the Bank Commission power to appoint a receiver directly instead of obtaining one through the courts for an insolvent bank. It was explained that In many Instances the assets of the bank were Alssipated before a recelver could be appointed by the courts, Another advantage, it was asserted, will be the power conferred on the ‘banking commission to take charge of e~ affairs of ‘an-emibarrrassed Bank or six months, and if at the end of that time the affairs of-the institution .are straightened out. the .bank ..may ,again be refurned to Itsg directors. Should the bank .fall to recover from the effects of the disaster at the end of six months the Bank Commission- ers_will notify the Atorney General. ‘The sub-committee on municipal de- partments and police is still receiving reporté from the various departments regarding their needs in the way of legislation.

Continued From Page 1, Cofumn 4 Continued From ge 1, Column 3. has established the ‘temporary head- quarters of the Imperial Consulate at 660 Telegraph avenue, Oakland, says that the former merchants and resis dents of Chinatown will exercise the same rights and privileges in relocat« ing and n-cm!f-hin‘ themselves in this city that other burned out people are entitled to exercise and that it 1s not the Istention of the Chinese Consulate or the Chinese Minister at Washington to Interfere in a matter that Consul Poahsl belleves will ad- Just and settle itself along business lines. In discussing the situation the local representative of the Chinese empire said;: There were from 15,000 to 20,000 Chi- nese in Chinatown when the earthquake and fire came upoh us. Theree are now probably” 2000 Chinese left in the city. About 4000 are in Oakland and the re- mainder are scattered throughout the State, many of them going into the ranch and fruit sections, where there is much work te be done. The rights of the Chineséeé merchants in Chinatown were the same as any other merchants’ rights in that locality before the disaster, and those rights were not shaken away by the earthquake or wiped out by the flames. 1 presume that the Chinese merchant will re-estab- lish himself as best he can in San Fran- cisco, the same as_the white merchant will have to do. The property rights of the Chinese realty owners have not been Impaired by the catastrophe, and if Chinese merchants decide to rebuild what is there to prevent them from doing so? Business conditions will largely determine what course thé Chi- nese merchants will follow. Whether many Chinese meérchants will locate in Oakland or elsewheére is something that the merchants will decide for them- selves. The Chinese Consulate and the Chi- nese Minister at Washington, Sir Chen- tung Ling Cheng, are not concerned about where Chinatown will be located, and at this time there does not apra-r any reason why the Consul or Minister should take any part in the negotiations that are being conducted according to business methods. - The Chinese Minis- ter will pay a visit to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and we expect that he will come here on a visit about May 21. He is not coming on orders from the home Government, but to ascertain per- sonally the condition of his people and learn if any rellef work is necessary. Mayor Frank K. Mott of Oakland was waited upon yesterday by a dele- gation representing the Six Companies and Chinese merchants, who discussed with him the location of & new China- town. Tong King Chong, editor of the Chinese Free Press, acted as spokes- man for the committee. He said that it was the desire of his countrymen to return to their old places in San Francisco, but that rather than bde forced to settle at Hunters Point they would seek another location not so far removed from the heart of com- mercial activity. Editor Chong as- serted that if the Chinese wers per- mitted to settle in Oakland they would bring commercial prestige to that city. Mayor Mott informed the delegation that he would take up the matter with the property owners and would let the Chinese merchants know without de- lay public sentiment 6f Oakland re- garding the building of a Chinatown there. Tenement houses for Chinese are already being constructed on four blocks of land in Oakland in the vi- cinity of First and Second streets, Alice, Jackson and Harrison. One hundred and seven buildings are to be erected. J. W. Johnson, m: e of anager the Standard Supply Company, and B. F. Woolner, an Oskland attorney, are promoteérs of the scheme, MELODY PUT8 CARE TO ROUT T3 AT SYMPHONY CONCERT ‘Disaster Intervenes to Prevent Climax of the Brilliant Musical Series at University of California. » May 16—When the se- ries of symphony concerts at the uni- versity was planned last winter the master minds responsible for the project determined that the sixth and last concert of the season should be the natural climax of the series. The five concerts preceding were to be de- voted to the symphony music of Beethoven, Mozart, Grieg, Wagner and others, and when the sixth programme was made up the human voice was to have its inning. Handel's ‘“.lessiah” was to be sung by a chorus of three hundred university students, the uni- versity orchestra accompanying. The feast of music was to be per- fect, complete. Fate intervened. The earthquake came, and’the fire. University stu- dents became Red Cross workers. Mu- sicians of the orchestra gave up their homes becauss their occupation was gone. Many left the country. Re- hearsals of singing students could not be held. There was no possibility of rendering “The Messlah.” The earth- rendering “The Messiah.” Wolle's programme yesterday in- cluded Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, deemed by many to be the greatest symphony in all of the real of compo- sition. The first movement of the symphony is introduced by notes in triplicate, harsh, and suggest- ing a strident call. Then comes a solid fourth, and a repetition of the same motive. Some have called this: “Fate knocking at the door.” The motive recurs again and again in the movement, and is found also in the scherzo, and still again, in reminiscent vagueness, in the finale. Ears that love melody were tickied, and all who can be moved by dramatie music intermingled with the tripping measures of a merry dance had their fill when Grieg’s ‘Peer Gynt” suite was played. ~The unmistakable tuneful melody of “The Dawn,” with which the suite is begun, followed by the melodic richness of “Ase’s Death,” and again by the dainty movement of “Anitra’s Dance,’ ending with the heavy, ponderous and impressive thunders “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” all served to entrance the throng that drank in to the full the portion of Grieg served by Wolle’s play- ers. ‘Wagner was represented on the pro- gramme by ‘Waldweben,” from the music drama ‘‘Slegfried,” a wonderfully wrought suggestion of all the myriad luring voices of the wood, calculated to inspire a Wagnerian heéro to those great deeds that form the framework of “‘Sleg- fried’ story. The whipped cream of the menu prop- erly was brought in at the end of the concert, when a revelation 'of Tschai- kowsky's genius, in the form of his “Nut- Cracker Suite” was made. In the pre- ceding symphony concert this composer’s “Pathetique Symphony” was rendered. No greater contrast o that music of sorrow and despair than this “Nut- Cracker BSuite” could be Imagined. A series of dances, a minfature overture, put one in a mood to smile, in a good, kind world, where nothing re- sembling pain and weeping ever was Movements ia the sulte. concinding with s movements in sul hu a stately waltz of the o played with exquisite tenderness. — Two Boys Are Condemned to Death.

Both Senators spoke in support of their re- spective provisionséand McLaurin en- tered upon a general criticism of the President’'s course in’ connection with the rate bill. He declared that the President had entirely changed his position #nd pre- dicted the production of a new song to be kihown as “Rooseveit’'s Sur- render” and to be sung to the tune of “Bonaparte’s Retreat.” True, he sald, the President Is a fighter; nor did he quit fighting after his surrender. ct after going over to the enemy.
