THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1906. RELIEF WORK MUDDLE CAUSES DELAY. By Deftly “Passing the Buck™ Requisitions Are Not Filled, Though Storehouses Are Full. “CARPET-BAGGERS” HAVE _SITUATION IN HAND| head of the Californmia Club relief committee, after repeated failures to land the goods therein, and at the sug- gestion of Mrs. Merrill, who graciously volunteered to put the thing through out of courtesy to Mrs. Scott and to BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. Fran- t ery s poor—the the tragedy of the club. And with Mrs. Merrill's O. K, it went up. The requisition called for necessa- ries—practically emergency suppiles. Out of these six were filled, the rest going the way of nearly all previous requisitions—filed, unfilled and forgot. And why? If the supplies are mot in the store- houses, then why not, with the $4,640,- 000 on hand with which to buy them? Without mincing matters, some facts in the case are these: 1. That the local Red Cross is com- pletely dominated by the National Red I'bat there is something wrong some- where no unbiased or disinterested ob- | Crogs representative. server can deny—nor does. 2. That Dr. Devine, the secretary of W cit the New York Board of Charities; Mr. Bicknell, secretary of the Chicago Board of Charities; Miss Higgins, sec- retary of the Boston Associatéd Chari- Mrs. Curtis of New York, all foreigners to San Francisco, are “run- the real machinery of relief work 3. That the absurd and cumbersome red tape is of their making and en- forcing. 4 That the aim of the local Associ- ated Charities, Osgood Putnam presi- dent, is to obtain control of rellef work in the -near future, and in its illegiti- bition it is aided and abetted above mentioned Professional ty Workers. Osgood Putnam, by the way, at present employed as chief of district 4, at Hamilton square. Here, too, are the Associated Charities headquarters. They seem, even now, to very tenderly assoclated with each other, to the extent that the finance committee last week voted the A. C, with Mr. Putnam at its head, $2500 to use for “investigation” pur- poses until July. Not for “relief,” you will understand, but merely for “sta- tistics.” 5. ,That there's a movement on foot to grant the same body $2600 a month for a year, for “investigation” pur- poses—in other words for salaries, wooden statistics and automoblle hire. When the commissioners draw down their $18,000 per year and the Associ- ated Charities get their $30,000 per year for salaries and “investigations,” there may be a little left for real relief —who knows? The new $15,000-a-year Relief Com- mission has assumed control of the situation—Dr. Devine of New York, president; Ernest P. Bicknall of Chi- cago, secretary; C. F. Moran and Colonel George Pippy. The fact that there will now be one visible, tangible head to the work of relief is a tremendous step toward a correction of the wrongs discussed. There will now be no “passing of kiss after the park commi of nopoly ude of tents of story s in b by starvation There will now be no shifting of re- sponsibility. When abuses are found to exist there is & definite head whom to report—to hold responsible. Whether the centralization of power is worth $18.000 a year is a question. If that's all that gets out of the people’s funds, and the rest is honest- Iy, humanely and wisely used for the people, then it's worth the money. And from the attitude,taken by the com- mission at its initiatery meeting on Saturday it would seem that it means to do the right thing. And setting out with good interitions I am sure the gentlemen thereof will be greatly indebted to me for the tips herein contained! frering AND R to FAVORITISM ng. that iscern y,” ask the clubwomen of it that, in spite of the city, acknowledged service t y since the disaster, not one woman has received an appointment pon a commission, nor been given a s e in the shaping of policles? Os- isibly Mre. Merrill is a factor, but rpet baggers' are running every- ing and the local Red Cross is tak- ing orders from them. Would it not be a nice thing and a ust thing to appoint a capable woman upon some of these boards—say in Dr. Devine's place when he retires to New York? And the blessed are still coming! So are the babies to wear them. The California Club relief committee has a dozen little round wads of flan- nelly things that smell of paregoric. But by sundown they will be given into the hands of soul-tried mothers. Won't you, and you, and.you—happy nen of happy homes, won't you try your hand at the little things? or nightgowns for old folks—tennis flan- —gowns warm and big and com- forting.

Newhouse was requested to call at police headquarters yesterday to meet Mrs. Billee. Both told their stories to Detective Wren. Newhouse declared that the trunk had been destroyed by the fire, and said he had shown Mrs. Billee a burned portion of it among the ruins. “It was everybody for himself and Ged for us all that time,” said New- house in explaining why he did not save the trunk. As jt was his word against Mrs. Billee's, Detective Wren decided that he could not take any ac- tion in the matter. —_———— ‘Will Play Ball in Denver.

CONGRESS BREAKS ALL PAST REGORDS - FOR APPROPRIATIONS Nearly One Billion Dollars Is Voted Out in Single Session. l CALL BUREAU,'POST BUILDING, | WASHINGTON, June 24.—When Thom- |as B. Reed was Speaker of the Fifty- | first Congress only fifteen years ago | there was a great outcry in the public | press because the appropriations for two years had reached the enormous total of $1,023,792,365.35. The criticism was that it was a “billion dollar Con- gress.” Mr. Reed replied that this was “a billion dollar country,” but it was not until elght years later that the appropriations reached that figure for |any. two years, when the Congress, | which had much to do.with paying for the Spanish war, voted the enormous total of $1,553,000,000. The Fifty-ninth Congress, which is approaching the completion of its first session, is going to put all its predeces- sors to shame as an example for the discouragement of parsimony. The ap- propriations of . public moneys which will have been made by the time the session ends will be perilously near the | billion-dollar mark, for a single ses- sion.. At the rate public money is being expended and demands for greater sums aré being, formulated the short session will come to a close in March, 1907, with ‘appropriations very near $2,000,000,000 for two years. 3 - MERGENTHALER LINOTYPE | MACHINES IN DEMAND Manufacturers Will Ship One Hundred and Seventy-Five to San Francisco.

BIG MEN GLASH IN THE SENATE Vice President Fairbanks Snubs La Follette | of Wisconsin. |Regarded as | Bearing on the Republican Nomination, SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, June 24.—Vice Presi- dent Fairbanks yesterday acted toward Senator La Follette of Wisconsin in a manner which indicates that he sees in the Badger statesman a formidable opponent for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination in 1908. Fairbanks Follette and then spent most of the afternoon in an effort to explain it away and to placate the somewhat net- tled Senator. This is popularly interpreted as first evidence of the Vice President's dislike and then of his fear of retaliation by | Senator ‘La -Follette. The incident, which is all the more significant be- cause the Republicans have subjected Senator La Folletts to a systematic snubbing throughout this session, came during the morning hours. La Follette sought unanimous consent for the con- sideration of one of his own bills, but Senator Beveridge objected, calling for the- regualr order on the agricultural appropriation. bill with the meat in- | spection amendment. |lette then rose to make another re- quest for unanimous consent that his bill be taken up on Monday. The Vica President thereupon stated . that the only thing in order was the agricultur- al bill. Despite Senator La Follette's tically ruled him out of orde Senator La Follette resumed his seat plainly angry. His ire was noticed by most of the members and especially by the Vice President, who soon requested La, Follette 'to step to his desk. The Vice President sought to explain. the matter by saying that when appropria- tion bills were up it was necessary to be more strict in the ruling than at other times. He took the position that Senator Proctor had insisted on the regular order when Senator La Follette rose to make his second request. The Wiseonsin Senator informed the Vice President that he was mistaken; that Senator Proctor had not so insisted, and that the Vice President himself had made the objection. Fairbanks showed very plainly that was angry at the ruling, and several times later in the afternoon he called the Senator to his desk and resumed his explanation. The rumor soon was in circulation that La Follette had { served an ultimatum on the Vice Presi- | dent that he would rise to a question of personal privilege and appeal to the lSenMe for fair play If the Vice Presi- dent continued to make rulings dis- | eriminating against him. | There is a story behind the coolness | between the Vice Presidest and La Follette. The Spooner and La Follette | factions sent contesting delegations to | the Republican convention in 1904. The |Indiana member of the credentials com- | nlittee was favorable to seating the |La Follette delegation. ;He was per- | suaded, however, to. give his place on | the credentfals committee to former | Governor Durbin of Indiana, who im- mediately helped to seat the Spooner delegation. B A A RS PIMPLE ON HIS NOSE PREVENTS HIS MARRIAGE Denver Man Loses Prospective Bride Because He Is Lacking im Pulchritude. DENVER, June 24.—Daniel Gross- man of Denver and Miss Dorothy Gal- land of New York cannot wed because | the former is poor and has a pimple on his nose. Miss Galland and Grossman first met in Denver last summer, when she came to this city on a visit. They fell in love at first sight and plighted their troth. The wedding was set for the 20th of this month. Grossman left Denver on May 26 and went back to the home of his prospec- tive bride at 11838 Halsey street, Brook- lyn. A reception was given to friends of both families on June 3 to announce the engagement. Two days later David | Galland told Daniel Grossman that the later could not marry his daughter. “Young man, I thought» you were wealthy,” said he. “My daughter is an artist, a musician, an accomplished and beautiful woman. You are poor and I find that you have an unsightly pimple on the end of your nose: ‘The lovers are determined to wed despite oppeosition.

Wireless Station Is to - Be Built at Cape Flattery. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, | WASHINGTON, June 24—The naval | board of inspection and survey has | completed its arrangements and re- S | cejved, authority for a trip to the Pa- |cific Coast, the first to be taken by that official body. The board will leave | Washington-about July 16 fup Seattla instead of San Francisco and :vill con- | duct the trial trip of the Nebraska. | Later the board will proceed to San | Francisco and will try the Milwaukee. The trial Tuns will be made off Santa Barbara, where there will be a meas- ured mile and where the facilities are considered suitable for the standardiza- tion of the ships. After the trial of the Milwaukee the naval board will return to the At- lantic Coast, leaving such instructions as. will enable the Pacific Coast board, | made up of officers on duty-at Mare | Island and Puget Sound, to conduct | trial ‘trips of vessels hereafter. The Navy Department announces that it has established and placed in operation a wireless. telegraph station at Point ' Loma, Cal. Other stations { will be opened later just as soon as the | department. is able to expend the ap- | propriation of $65.000 which will shert- |1y be avallable for the establishment of = wireless stations on the Pacific Coast. . The first contract to be let will be that of the station at Cape Flattery. [ Reports from the Pacific Coast indi- jcate zhat the naval wireless stations escaped injury during the earthquake and had a system of communication been effectsd there would have been no such delay as occurred in the trans- mission 9f messages in and out of th> city. As it was much valuable service was rendered in the early days of the panic |and disaster. By the location of the Chicago at Fort Mason messages were recelved on board the ship and were communicated to the wireless station at Yerdba Buena and thefce sent to the |outside world through the wireless | outfit whieh had been erected by = | youth In Oakland. The latter comes in for a generous share of official praise |for the gratuitous service he appears to have rendered at critical times dur- i‘“! the trouble in San Francisco. | The following changes in the sal- |-aries: of California -postmasters under the annual readjustment are an- | nounced: " | Alagedm from $2300 to $2700: Ar- |royo Grande, $1200 to $1400; Bakers- | fleld. 32600 to $2700; Clovis, $1000 to ‘,iqoo; Coronado, $1500 to $1600; Corona, | $1700"to_$1800; Crescent City. $1000 to 1200; Dinuba, -$1200 to $1300; Dixon, | $1800° to $1400; East Auburn. 31400 to | $1500; Fortuna, $1100 to $1206; Fowler, 181200 to $1400; Fresno, $3100 to $3200: | Gilroy, $1500 to $1900;: Hemet, $1000 to | $1300; Hollywood, $1300 to $1700; Laton, 131000 to $1100; Long Beach, $2800 to 2800; McCloud, $1300 to $1400; Madera, 132100 to $2000: Merced, $2000 to $2100 Monrovia, $1600 to $1700; Nordhofr, | $1200 to $1300; Ocean Park, 32000 to $2400; Oceanside, $1100 to $1300; Onta- 10, $1700 to $1300; Oroville, $2000 to : Pacific Grove, 32100 to $2200; ndsburg, $1100_to' $1000; Rea Biu 2300; Rio Vista, “$1100 San Bernardino, $2600 to $2700 n ; San Jacint, | $1300 to” $1400; San Lais Obispo, $23¢ | to $2400; Santa Barbara, $2300 to $2900; V;Hulo!'n $1900 to $2000; Visalia, $2300 to | The Senate today passed a bill re- | ported by Semator Perkins providing sfor the unloading of bonded merchan- dise at night from vessels or cars, the inspectors to be paid reasonabls .om- pensation, which shall be borne by the owners of the goods. ‘Washington sclentific societies at the request of Senator Perkins are cor- dially co-operating in the work of re- placing the libraries of the .cademy of Sciences and the Sierra Club.
