The commitiee’s disinclination was stated to the fu'l board of directors in session vesterday, | with the suggestion that the entire ai- rectorate pass upon the clatms. But the entire directorate was not on hand. So it was suggested that a special meéting be held next Tuesday to en- able all directors to be present. At the special meeting it is planned to pass the whole matter over to a com- mittee of twenty-—a committee inde- pendent of the directorate—so there is a shying all around. The claims are developing into a thorn. The claims came up on a report of the executive committee seeking in- | formation and instruction. “There are,” | the report sa “a large number of claims for goods confiscated without authority. We ask instruction of the | board of directors as to the course to | be_followed in considering them. 1f these claims are to be paid, npon what evidence are they to be favorably re- ported? Incidentally, we would ask, is not the city liable for them?” The suggestion of the special meet- ing was then made. Mr. Dohrmuann | sald at once that the executive com- | | mittee had no time to sit on the claims. | In this statement his colleagues on the | executive committee hastened to back him. The suggestion of the xpccial claims committee brought a look of relief to executive committee faces. There are 2350 claims peniing. Claims aggregating $220,000 for intoxi- | cants confiscated during the fire have [ | [ | | | | | the housing go. | The executive committee was au- thorized to incorporate a real estate holding company for the purpose of buying land. building_houses and dis- posing of the house¥\te those who need assistance. If found to be neces- sary the committee was authorized to| employ a trust company to facilitate its work. Chairman Phelan announced that the | executive committee has appropriated more money to buy land and house the | people than it bas on hand. There is, | however, something like $3,00¢,000 sti'l to be turned over to the corporation. | This money is mostly at Eastern points. Vouchers aggregating $56,476.78 nere | finally passed upon. | “Somebody is golng to pay my claim. | I'm not worrying about it in the least. | If the Relief Corporation does not pay | it somebody else will.

At the time of the fire, Mr. Mills claims, quartermasters. I hold their receipts | for every stick of it.” Colonel Kelley has also roused the ire of H. E. Holmes, who had an auto- mobile taken from him during the fire. Holmes claims that the machine was | seized by force and later accidentally | | blown up by dynamite. He has a claim | {in for $980. Kelley, it is alleged, de- | nounced the claim as a “graft.” QUESTIONS THE CLAIM. | Statement That Relief Lumber Went Into Graney's Shop. The claim of the Hart-Wood Lumber Company before the Relief Corporation has a queer indorsement from the ex- amining clerk. The latter charges that |{$230.49 worth of the lumber for which | the Relief Corporation is asked to pay | went to build Eddle Graney’s black- | smith shop at the corner of Van Ness |avenue and Market street, and that| some of the lumber was used by the Deneen Building Company. The mem- orandum reads as follows: $230.49 of this claim is for the lum- ber used®in the construction of the | blacksmith shop of Edmund' Gramey on | Van Ness avenue and Market street (see Captain Aultman's letter at- tached), sufficient lumber for two | shacks 'as per requisition of Captain Aultman, U. S. A. - Captain Scott gave a requisition for sufficient lumber for one shack. Balance used by Deneen Buulding_Company for purposes not set forth, The comiittee appears to bal responsible for the lumber used in three shacks only. STEALING RELIEF TENTS. Major Gaston Says They Are Being Taken From Camp Lake. Camp Lake has been ordered closed, but its troubles are by no means at an end. Major Gaston learned yesterday that the campers are carrying off their tents and equipment, the property of the Relief Corporation. The major had an inventory made of the equipment, and has requested the Chief of Police to detail a special offi- cer to guard the property, The finest shack on the place was occupied by one Drummond. It is al- leged he has sold it to a man named Dircks. The case will be investigated, and if the lumber fromi which the shack was made be found to have been fur- nished by the Relief Corporation Major Gaston will call the deal off. * HELPLESS AT SPEEDWAY. Infirm People to Be Removed From Alamo and Duboce Squares. The campers at Alamo and Duboce squares who are found not to be selfs supporting aré to be removed to the camp at the speedway. This decision was arrived at when it was found that the two squares are without soup kitchens, and is taken to avold further distribution of uncooked food. Those who can support themselves will be permitted to remain in their tents and no rations will be issued to them. ey description replaced by & TWO THOUSAND DIVORCES : Bond 0t ‘The Metropolitan _Surety | A YBAR GHICAGYS BECORD |,..h° PR 's ione the lings of that Company of New York.

E. Revalk & Co. of 1771 Union street for type- writer supplies furnished on the score of relief, is causing con- siderable comment at relief headquar- ters. Not because of lack of indorse- ment, for the claim comes well recom- mended, bearing the “O. K.” of Angelo Byrne, official stenograpner of the Po- lice Department, but because of the items it contains. Among these items are twenty-five and a half dozen typewriter ribbons, 131 dozen typewriter erasers, 96 dozen pencils, 9900 sheets carbon, and forty- four shorthand vooks. The claim totals :$1024.50. The comment of the examiner noted on the document is: “Needs in- vestigation. Enough ribbons and eras- ers to do an army of typewriters.” Accom@anying the claim is a letter from Byrne to R. E. Revalk & Co. In this Byrne states that the supplies were taken from the firm, but refuses to pass upon their value. Mr. Byrne sa; n reply to your communication of June 15 shall state that I sent your bill to the finance committee with the indorsement ‘goods received; know nothing about prices” I could no noth- ing more than this. I never made a specialty of the typewriting supply business and was therefore incompe- tent to pass upon their value. I had the supplies sent to headquarters by you, carefully checked and found that it tallied with your itemized state- ment.” The committee has approved this claim for $500. It is understood that the firm is not satisfied with the award. At relief headquarters yesterday it was found that $300 worth of the ma- terial taken from Revalk & Co. is still on hand. It may be returned to them. The Rglief Corporation is intent upon rounding up typewriters. Just how many the corporation should have is not definitely known, but the number is large. The work has been turned over to Samuel Snapper, who says that sixty-eight have already been account- ed for, and that he expects to land at least twenty-five more. Mr. Snapper will continue his quest today in an automobile. RELIEF BUDGET PREPARED. Large Reduction in Total Asked For by the Board of Health. Rudolph Spreckels has completed the Board of Health budget. He has suc- ceeded in reducing it from $33,000 to $27,609. Mr. Spreckels has cut out a number of laborers, pharmacists and surgeons, on the theory that they are unnecessary or that their proposed work is already covered. The demand for $275 for buggy hire is denied, as is the allowance for ambulance service. This last is done on the theory that the city should provide such service. The principal change in the budget is the taking over by the Relief Cor- poration of the purchase of equipment. This is done that title in the property may remain in the corporation. When the city can afford the purchase it is proposed to sell the outfit to it. RED CROSS FUNDS. Nearly $2,000,000 Will Be Transferred to Relief Corporation. The American National Red Cross for July, the officlal publication of the Red Cross Society, states that there has been contributed to the Red Cross fund $2,275,489.56, of which $400,000 has been sent to the Relief Corporation. This leaves $1,875,489.56 in the hands of the Red Cross Society. Mr. Phelan has been notified that the money will be transferred to the Relief Corporation as soon as a quorum of directors of the Red Cross can be secured. This will probably be in September. NEW BUREAU OPENS, Department of Special Rellef Proposes to Do Rapld Work. Dr. Gunn formally took charge of the new bureau of special relief yesterday. This department will have to do with the people without the permanent camps. Those that require hospital treatment will be turned over to the hospital department in charge of Dr. J. Wilson Shiels. “We are going to have a ‘service,” sald Dr. Gunn yesterday, “that will be rapid. If we find a case of genuine distress it will be helped Immediately. ‘We shall not deal with rehabilitation, but with emergency cases only.” BUILDING TRADES TO AID.
