Says Normal_anditions Will Be Restored in Short Time. There is no further need to worry gbout the water supply. In a report submitted to the Board of Health at {the regular meeting yesterday Chief | Sanitary Inspector Hassler, who has | thoroughly investigated the matter, declared that the present supply is |ample and that within two days the normal amount of water will be cours- ing through the mains. Dr. Ward was notified that forty pa- tients would have to be moved from {the Post Hospital at the Presidio ow- |ing to crowded conditions there. They {will be transferred to the City and | County Hospital. This will necessi- {tate the removal of many indigent isick to the Almshouse and tents will probably have to be used there. Following is Dr. Hassler’s report on | water conditions: “I wish to submit the following data relative to the water supply of the city and county of San Francisco at the present time: | “I am relably informed that in a |few days we will have the entire water {supply in normal condition again, in so far as it relates to the quantity and service. the present writing there is stored in the College Hill Reservoir |in the South Mission, at an elevation of 250 feet, seven and a half million gallons; in the Francisco-street resér- voir at North Beach, at 140-foot ele- vation, a e over 1,000,000 gallons; {in the Presidio Helghts tank 472,000 {gallons at 400-foot elevation; Clarendon Heights tank, at an eleva- tion of 600 feet, 526,000 gallons; in {Lake Honda Reservoir 15,112,000 at 380-foot elevation; in the University Mound Reservoir in the South Mission 0,000 gallons, The San Andreas pipe is complete- ly repaired and the Crystal Springs pipe, the big forty-four inch pipe, which was broken for about 3000 feet, t is safe to say that within forty- eight hours there will e probably no complaint as to lack of water supply n any portion of the city. “In e district south of Market which was filled ground, the |8reatest damage to the water mains was sustained, but as this s in the burned district we, as the Health Com- mission, are deeply concerned in this phase of the water situation, except in so far as it jrelates to the proper flushing of the | sewers. However, work Is in progress |1n this section which will remedy this| of the precautions advocated by these | detect In a few days. | “In addition I wish to say that there is running Into San Francisco now séven and a half million gallons of V| water a day by way of Lake Honda, §,000,000 a day by way of the College | Hill Reservoir, and ten and a half mil- lion gallons a day by way of the Uni- versity Mound Reservoir, which makes 126,000,000 gallons a day, which is am- | ply sufficient for the present need, pro- ‘\. ed in the meantime no accident en- I would advise householders against useless waste of water about their premises. This waste is easily ascer- |tained by the water company's in- spectors and if continued household- ers will be shut off from the water supply and appeals will come to the Health Commission to relieve thelr dis- tress In the matter of not having proper water service in their houses. This I consider a very important mat- ter. | ‘I am not able at this time to subi mit & report as to the water suppl {and the proper drainage of the hos pitals officially recognized by your honorable commission, but in an early report that I will submit I will present these facts. Accompanying my next |report will be maps and diagrams, which will demonstrate clearly the en- tire plan of San Francisco's service- ble water supply and Iits sewer sys- terp.” Sl MUNGER AND ZEBERG SURRENDER TO POLICE Hotel Men Accused of Embezzling Funds Intrusted to Them by Guests Give Bonds. berg, former proprietors of the Ameri- can Hotel, 680 Howard street, surren- not at the present time| % Edward M.

All But a Few Tanks Are Filled at Request of Different Cor- porations. Three Reservoirs South of Market Street Check the Conflagration for Three Hours. Once upon a time San Francisco was provided with an auxiliary water supply, which, had it been maintained, might have changed the final result of the recent unequal battle with the | lames and saved from the debris pile much valuable property. The late Chief Engineer Sullivan and his predecessors, Whitney, Scannell and Ackerson, were all advocates of | an auxiliary system, and at one time | this city possessed an emergency sup- | ply of water, which would have been invaluable on April 18. | Old firemen are telling today of how | different it might have ben had the ideas of these former chiefs been car- ried out. Whitney, Scannell and Ackerson, foreseeing the possibility of the city’'s regular water supply being cut off or 80 diminished that the pressure would be insufficient to be or much use in case of fire, advocated the installation of huge cisterns in the vicinity of all large buildings and In every district where the danger of serious confla- gration was likely. Former Boards of Supervisors, con- vinced of the wisdom in these veteran fire fighters’ suggestions, did what they could from time to time to carry them out. Cisterns, bullt of brick and cement and as nearly as possible earthquake proof, were installed in many places. These cisterns, each with a capacity for about 200,000 gallons of water, were placed below the street In the crossings. They were regularly in- spected and kept at all times filled with water, of which there was suffi- clent in each to supply one of the modern engines for a three hours’ battle with the flames at full pressure. When the main supply proved inade- quate the top was lifted from one of these cisterns, the suction plpe in- serted, and for three hours there was available a stream as big and power- ful as the capacity of the engine could make it. At one time there were seventy-five or more of these cisterns In service. | One by one, through the influence of the telephone company, the water company and other corporations whose interests necessitated the laying of underground conduits, these cisterns were condemned, filled up or taken out, until only a few were left. Chief Sulllvan saw to it that the re- maining cisterns were kept in repalr and big fire came there were not enough of | these reservoirs left to supply ef- | fective ammunition for the hose. Such as were left, however, furnished an | object lesson to illustrate the wisdom fire chiefs of days gone by. Among the cisterns that remained on April 18 was one at Second and Folsom streets, another at First and Folsom and & third at First and Har- rison. These cisterns were tapped and for three hours the fire was held iIn check. For three hours three blocks that had been ablaze were reduced to damp blackness and for three hours hope ran high in the breasts of prop- erty-owners and residents in that part of the city. There were no cisterns elsewhere, however, and when the three big basins were empty the surrounding sea of flame evaporated the molsture and licked up the homes and stores, to save which such a gallant fight had been made. “If we'd only had more cisterns,” is what all the old firemen are saying MY OFFIGER WILL SERVE THO YERRS N 1\ MILITARY PRISON Lieutenant Long, ald-de-camp to General Funston, accompanied by Sergeants Fisher and Johnston of the artillery corps, left yesterday morn- ing for the military prison at Fort | Leavenworth, Kans., having In charge | Lieutenant Hugh Kirkman, who will | serve two years for embezzlement and forgery, committed while serving with his company in the Philippines.

The complaining witnesses are F. W. point, who were guests at the hotel at the time of the fire. McMillan had de- posited $240, Burwick $190 and La- point $26 with the defendants, who, it was alleged, had gone to Sacramento, was in the safe. Zeberg returned from Sacramento and was very indignant at the asper- sion cast upon his character, alleging that when the safe was opened all the coin deposited would be found there intact. A few days ago the safe was opened, but Detective Matheson, who only a few nickels and some papers in it. It was alleged that meantime Zeberg had compromised with some of the depositors by paying them a per- centage of the amounts. Detective Matheson learned yester- day morning that the defendants had ifornia and Montgomery streets, and he secured a search warrant from Judge Conlan to obtain possession of the contents of the vauit. P S —— Man Robs Telephone Boxes. Captafh Gleason reporred at police headquarters that for the last three or four days a man has been making a house-to-house visitation in the Richmond district and collecting the nickels from the telephone boxes, without showing his authority or giv- ing a receipt. The fact that he left all slugs roused suspicion and com- plaint was made to the Stanyan-street station. The man is described as small but good looking, about 30 years of age, and wearing a black suit and black derby issued to bring him to headquarters McMillan, Albert Burwick and Joe La-| taking with them all of the coin that| had charge of the case, said there were| money and checks in a vault of the. California Safe Deposit Company, Cal- | hat. Orders have beenl to meet some of his pressing obliga- tions he embezzled $782.23 of the com- pany's funds, then in his charge, and | forged the name of Judge Ross to a note for $800, which was to be paid | jointly by himself and the Judge, so it purported. It is also alleged that he duplicated his pay accounts at differ- ent times with ‘intenf to commit forgery. It is sald that Kirkman took his conviction and sentence very hard, and while still in the guardhouse in Manila attempted to commit suicide. A close watch has been kept on him since, and although he has made no further attempt to take his life, he has shown clearly that he feels the disgrace he has brought upon himself. *- REFUSE TO ADOPT MEASURE TO RESCIND MONTHLY DUES Servian Montenégrin Society Members Are Nearly All at Work and Only Four Ask for Assistance. A meeting of the Servian Montene- grin Society was held Wednesday aft- ernoon in Jefferson Hall, Golden Gate avenue. A commitftee appointed on | | { 1 had been but four applications for as- sistance. A motion to rescind all dues.for a perfod of six months was voted down, the members expressing a willingness and an ability to pay all soclety dues. The committee on labor reported that almost all the members were again employed. The few unemployed are those awaiting a chance to return to their former business sites.
