ManyChlldren Lost to Parent Cana
da's $100,000 Still Available Crap
ey Heresy Trial Vesuvius Becom
ing a Dead Volcano Miners' Con
vention This Week.
What to do with the large sums of
money that 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 Utt im
mense sum of money already contrib
uted 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. Devlne 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 Docllned.
The Empress Dowager of China of
fered a personal subscription of $75,
000 to American Minister Rockhlll at
Pekln for the rellof of the San Fran
cisco 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"
tlves in San 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 fire sufferers 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 laBted 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 Wbltaker,
aged 25 years. Mrs. Whltaker 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 au hour
later at Laurel Hill cemetery.
Crapsey Heresy Trial.
Before an ecclesiastical tribunal of
his peers, in the quaint little Butavla
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 havo
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'Brlan
of Buffalo Is leading- counsel for the
prosecution, assisted by John H. S tin
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.
Vesuvius Becoming a Dead Volcano.
Professor Matteuccl, director of the
royal observatory, succeeded In reach
ing the crater of Vesuvius. He de
scribes the spectacle as one of great
grandeur. The diameter of the cra
ter, which before the eruption was
about 100 feet, la now about 5,000
feet. There Is no eruption of Incan
descent stones as before the recent
outburst, but a small quantity of
ashes is being ejected. Vesuvius
seems to be assuming the character
of a dead volcano. The cone of the
crater, which before the eruption rose
to a height of C.000 feet above sea
level, has diminished about 800 feet.
Work Is being vigorously pushed to
re-establish the Funicular railway- to
the observatory.
Dowie Spoke at Zion City.
Standing with great effort before
an audience of 2,500 persons in Zlon
tabernacle on Sunday afternoon, John
Alexander Dowie charged hU traduc-
wrt, If any were present, to make theli
accusations before the whole congre
gallon.
Dowie was borne bodily by two ue
gro attendants from an ante-room tc
the platform and deposited upon hit
feet before the elaborate altar. H
was attired in a new apostolic robe ol
white, gold and purple. On his head
was a turban of marvelous pattern,
embroidered In purple and gold. He
delivered his address seated before
tho altar. Only occasionally, when
roused to an unusual pitch of earnest
ness, did he rise.
Mrs. Dowie, who has severed hei
allegiance with Vollva, sat In a wicker
chair among Dowie's followers in the
congregation.

state of apprehension concerning the
imminence of a crisis May 1, when all

tic eight-hour demonstration.
Whether this will be accompanied
by violence and bloodshed Is only con
jectural, but the people are alarmed

treme military and police precautions.
The garrison at' Paris Is being rapidly
strengthened, and It is expected that
60,000 troops will be available here

ish troops from Egyptian territory.

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 ..first rest day San
Francisco has experienced since cata
clysm and conflagration wiped out half
of the city and made 200,000 persons
homeless campers In parks or recip
ients of charity under the roofs of
friends.
The loss of some 300 lives and the
devastation of almost four square
miles of the best part of San Francisco
have now been written in history and
Jhe day found every one confident of
the rapid rebuilding of the greater and
better San Francisco.
r!63?S.
CITY HALL AFTKR TRC FIRS.
According to the plan 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 degtee the resumption of bus
iness. "There is sufficient food supply in
sight for the present, but the great
problem for us Is how to pi o vide 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. The apparatus of the depart
ment, while damaged, Is still intact.
Nineteen companies have been put out
of commission and many of them will
be disbanded.

Destitution Has Not Been Exaggerated
San Francisco, April 30. Dr. Devlno
of the National Red Cross Issued a
statement in which he says: "It is Im
portant for the entire country to un
derstand that the loss of homes and
property In San Francisco has not
been exaggerated. Sick and delicate
persons will need care for months.
Inmates of Institutions which have
been burned and destroyed must bo
established elsewhere on some plan
yet to be derlsc2. Families which
canot get stuted otherwise may be

POLICE AND MINERS IN RIOT.
Crowd That Attacked the Constabul
ry Fired On Several Wounded.
Mt. Carmel, Pa., May 1. After thi
dining room girls at three local hotcli
refused to serve Lieutenant Smith't
command of state constabulary hen
yesterday, the troops In front of th
Commercial hotel were charged upot
by a large crowd of foreign miners
The troops beat them back, injurlnj
several of them.
One trooper was badly Injured by t
blow from a club. The crowd retreat
ed and prepared for a charge. Lieu
tenant Smith drew up his men am
threatened to shoot, while the chle.
burgess addressed the mob and ad
vised the men to disperse.
The speech had the effect of diapers
Ing the men, wliereupon Smith's com
mand moved on the Lehigh company'i
Sayre colliery in the suburbs, when
ton-union men had been stoned bj
foreigners.
A second collision between the con
ttabulary and the mob occurred short
ly after noon when a man threw I
stone at the soldiers. More stones fol
lowed and then Lieutenant Smith or
dered his men to shoot.- As the car
bines began to crack the crowd scat
tered In great terror. A man numec
Wilson fell with three bullets in hit
body. He will likely die. A numbei
of other men were wounded, but man
aged to get to their homes.
After several volleys had been Dree
Lieutenant Smith ordered his men t
fall back to the Sayre colliery, frore
where he reported to headquarters ai
Pottsvllle the news of the fight He
was ordered to hold his ground anc
was notified that reinforcement!
would at once be sent to him.
Later he was told to take his com
mand back to Pottsvllle. Before leav
ing he was placed under $500 ball
charged with assault and battery with
Intent to kill. Three foreigners alsc
in the fight were held In ball.
It was said before the troopers left
a larger . body of men would return
soon and offer more protection to the
operations if the workmen were furth
er Interfered with by union men.

Miners' Delegates Uninstructed.
Wllkes-Barre, May 1. A great many
of the miners' locals elected delegates
to the Scranton convention. Returns
of the election received at miners
headquarters show that a majority ol
the delegates will go to the convention
uninstructed and will be governed
largely on the question of declaring a
strike by the course President Mitchell
pursued. The five washerles at work
in the Wyoming region will Increase
their output considerably as they have
a larger force of men at work. It Is
not believed that the big coal com
panles will make any attempt to re
sume work until after the miners' con
vention at Scranton.

fire and about an hour later young Ger
lach's form was taken from the ruins
a charred and burned mass.

in the barn when the storm broke.

view the storm. Suddenly there was a
blinding flash of lightning, which
struck the barn. Young Gerlach fell
to the floor, dead.

came confused and rushed from the
barn, leaving his stepson on the barn

slightest injury. The barn and its
contents were soon destroyed.

ruins, enabling relatives to look for
the body, which was soon found and
taken to the house. Dr. Earl D. Dan
ser, medical examiner, was called. He
found that a large area of the boy's
skull on the left side had been chipped
out. The body was turned over to an
