HOW RELIEF IS HANDLED Consolidation of Red Cross and Citizens' Committee? ManyChlldren Lost to Parent Cana da's $100,000 Still Available Crap- sey Heresy Trial Vesuvius Becom. log a Dead Volcano Miners' Con vention This Week. What to do with the large sums of money Unit has been contributed to the relief of San Francisco's homeless peo ple was the question that is receiving careful consideration by all those now engaged In relief work. While the complete details of dis bursing and accounting for the Im mense sum of money already contrib utcd have not been formulated, they have been thoroughly discussed in committee and may be briefly stated as follows: "All expenditures will be authorized by the finance committee of the citi zens and Red Cross funds. The mem bers of this committee are bankers, business men and jurists of San Fran cisco and Dr. Dcvino of the National Red Cross society. This committee will audit all accounts and make a de tailed report to the war department where a final audit and statement will be made." Many Tots Lost to Parents. Governor Chamberlain of Oregon sent the following telegram from Salem to Governor Pardee: "Many children and some babies are coming through here unidentified and unac companied by anyone, cared for only by strangers. Can they not be gath ered together at Oakland and kept to gether for subsequent Identification? As it is, they will be forever lost to their parents." Empress' Gift Declined, The Empress Dowager of China of fered a personal subscription of $75, 000 to American Minister Rockhlll at Pekln for the relief of the San "ran clsco sufferers, which Mr. Rockhlll was instructed by the state de partment to decline with an expres sion of the appreciation of this gov ernment. It is probable that this money will be sent direct to Chinese representa tives In Sail Francisco for the use of the homeless Chinese. Canada's $100,000 Still Available. It was announced in the Ottawa house of parliament that the Cana dian government had been officially informed that the $100,000 voted for the relief of San Francisco earthquake and Are stifTerers had been declined by the United States government. The appropriation, however, will be passed so that the money will be available should there be any change of senti ment in regard to accepting the money. Another Shock at San Francisco. At 3:15 o'clock Wednesday after noon another shock of earthquake was felt at San Francisco. It lasted nearly a minute . and caused considerable alarm. A number of walls of burned build ings which were standing were thrown down and frail buildings were consid erably shaken up, but the damage done was slight. It, however, caused the death of Mrs. Annie Whitaker, aged 25 years. Mrs. Whitaker was at work in the kitchen of her home on Shotwell street in the Mission district when the shock came. The chimney which had been left In a tottering condition by the heavy quake the week before crashed through the roof and fractured her skull. Her body was taken to the morgue at Portsmouth square and burled an hour later at Laurel Hill cemetery. Crapsey Heresy Trial. Before an ecclesiastical tribunal of hlB peers, in the quaint little Batavia courthouse, the Rev. Algernon S. Crap sey, rector of St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church, Rochester, is being tried on the charges of heresy and violation of his ordination vows against him. The trial was to have been held In the parish house of St. James' church, but it was too small to accommodate the witnesses and spec tators. , The trial as a whole promises to de velop greater interest than any the Protestant Episcopal church has known In years. John Lord O'Brian of Buffalo is leading- counsel for the prosecution, assisted by John H. Stln ess, former chief justice of Rhode Is land, and Rev. Francis J. Hall of the Western Theological seminary, Chi cago. Dr. Crapsey is represented by Congressman James Breck Perkins of Rochester and Edward M. Shepard of New York city.

ONLY TWO REGIMENTS. Reinforcement of Regulars Re duced One-Half. General Greely Divides the City Into Seven Districts In Charge of Army Officers Chairman Phelan Tells of the Demands Upon the Relief Committee. Only two regiments of troops, in all about 1,350 men, will be sent to San Francisco to reinforce those now there, instead of the 2,500 men as originally proposed by General Greely and sanc tioned by the war department. Sunday was the,,flrst rest day San Francisco has experienced since cata clysm and conflagration wiped out half of the city and made 200,000 persotis homeless campers in parks or recip ients of chanty under the roofs of friends. The loss of some 300 lives and tho devastation of almost four square miles of the best part of San Francisco fcave now been written in history and Jhe day found every one confident of the rapid rebuilding of the greater and better San Francisco. CITT HALL AFTKR TITE FIRB. According to the plnn of General Greely the unburned part of the city will be divided into seven districts in charge of army officers who will as sume control of all the relief stations. Responsible civilians will be Installed under salary at the sub-stations for clerical work, and daily records will be kept. As the period of extreme distress has passed the issuance of rations will at the earliest possible moment be confined to helpless wo men and children and refused to able men. Luxuries will be confined to in fants and invalids. Rigid economy is enjoined on every officer engaged in relief work. In each of the seven districts there will be 100 stations. The amount of food to be allowed each person, with lati tude for certain conditions, Is speci fied. The allowance, In a measure, Is based on the army ration. Banks Have Not Yet Opened. . James D. Phelan, chairman of the municipal finance committee, in a statement said: "The demands on the finance committee are very great and we don't see how we can meet them If the conditions continue. There Is no money in circulation. "The banks are closed because they dare not open their heated vaults and when they do open them, they will probably pay out slowly, as they re alize upon their assets. They expect next week to cash the checks of well known customers to the extent of $500 each. That measure will help in a small degiee the resumption of bus iness. "There is sufficient food supply In sight for the present, but the great problem for us is how to piovide for the absolutely destitute, for the sick, old, children and all other dependent persons. "The means of support of the hos pitals, orphanages, religious and char itable associations of all kinds are ab solutely cut off. The local Red Cross estimates that $1,900 a day is neces sary for the hospitals. To set these institutions on their feet will be work of years, because the local people are unequal to the task because of per sonal demands." Fire Department's Losses. The losses of San Francisco's fire de partment during the earthquake and fire were not large. So far as known. three firemen were killed and one In jured.
