San Francisco, May 2.Conditions of life are gradually becoming more nor mal in this stricken city and the work of clearing up the wreck in prepara tion for rebuilding in the downtown sec tion is going on more lapidly. Business is being resumed by retail tradesmen of every description thruout the destroyed sections of the city. George Wittman, chairman of the committee on retail trades reports the following places of business open: For ty-four DUtchers, twenty-nine restau rants, twenty-two bakeries, twenty-two fruit and vegetable stands, seventy-one dairies, fifty-one refreshment parlors, fifty-three grocery stores and seventy one miscellaneous establishments, in cluding tailors, plumbers, drygoods tores, druggists and cigars-tanas. Do Thriving Business. The commission firms located along the water front are doing a thriving business. Yesterday receipts showed a marked increase over the preceding day and prices of dairy gooda and lines of green goods were lower. In less than two weeks the garbage question will be disposed of. An in- ?otrero ectio of the reduction works in the has been made and it was re ported that outside of the 100 feet of tall chimneys repaired to the furnaces can be completed in ten days. Men have been set to work on these repairs and soon there will be established a forced draught so as to insure rapid combustion. As soon as this is com pleted all refuse will be burned. Homes to Be Lighted. Mayor Schmitz has just made the^ an nouncement that all time restrictions as to the lighting of dwellings will be removed today with the suggestion that candles be used exclusively for illumi nating purposes until electricity can be resumed. Petroleum for lighting pur poses is especially prohibited until the water supply is intact. The Spring Valley Water company expects^ to have the city front water supply in commission in ten days. The TJnited Eailways has been given permission by Mayor Schmitz to oper ate its cars until later hours in order that the last-oars, beginning tonight will leave all terminals at midnight. Seven lines have been in operation already, and with these three additional routes will be covering nearly all sections of the unburned districts. All Chimneys Inspected. The work of inspecting chimneys is proceeding rapidly. The inspectors are all architects or builders and are do nating their services for the benefit of householders. Every chimney in every building left standing in San Francisco will be thoroly inspected before any permits are issued to make fires indoors. Nearly all the chimneys in the fyills are found to be in excellent condition. Chimneys of houses located in the flat section are practically all out of com mission. Factories Start Up. Many of the larger factories left un harmed are starting up work with all the rapidity possible under circum stances. At the Union Iron Works 2,300 men are no wemployed and the To Rebuild Chinatown. Fifty Chinese owners of property in old Chinatown have decided to rebuild on the sites where their buildings were destroyed. Legal advisers of the Chinese, the Chinese consul-general and the vice consul, gave it as their opin ion that owners and lessees of land in Chinatown cannot be deprived of the right to rebuild if they so desire.

No damage was done to the three new warships being built at these works for the government, the cruisers California and Milwaukee, and the battleship South Dakota. The steamer City of Pueblo, which was sunk in the bay has been raised, and is being repaired. Workmen are also engaged fixing the steamer Colum bia, which was turned on her side. The hulls of the new Hawaiian-American company's liner were pitched about four feet to the south, but were unin jured and will be replaced. To Ask President's Aid. Victor H. Metcalf, secretary of com merce and labor, who is here as the per sonal representative of the president, will be requested to lay before the president and his cabinet the plan proposed by former Mayor Jamed D. Pheian of having the government guar antee a large municipal bond issue by San Francisco to rebuild the city. This action, it is said, was unofficially decided upon at a conference held last night at Fort Mason between the finance committee of which Mr. Phe ian is chairman, and the mayor. It is proposed that San Francisco shall issue municipal bonds in the sum of $200,- 000,000, to run a series of vears, and the payment of which is to be guaran teed by the United States. To issue such a loan it will be necessary to amend the city charter and have tho legislature remove any other obstacles. m^mM~JM We'dnesday* Evening, The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific companies have adopted the policy of carrying all employees thru without loss of pay by absence Qa account of the fire. The same plan has been followed by a number of large business firms. The vaults of the county clerk's office have been opened, and the contents found in good condition. All the wills which have accumulated in San Fran cisco since the earliest days were in the big steel room and their loss would have been irreparable. The first definite proposition for fur nishing money on a large scale with which to rebuild part or the burned section, is the announcement that a syndicate of New York capitalists have agreed to advance $100,000,000. The news came in a telegram received by W. F. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific, from United States Senator Newlands of Nevada, who had a large interest in the Palace hotel. To Accept Foreign Aid. Senator Newlands stated that New York financiers have virtually consented to supply the money on a bond and mortgage basis. The names of the New York men were not given. The offer is under discussion by the local finance committee. It was decided that the citizens' com mittee shall accept all offers of aid from foreign countries. This decision was reached when a communication was received thru Japanese official sources asking if the citizens would receive the contribution of 200,000 yen made by the emperor of Japan and declined by the United States government. The committee holds that San Francisco, be ino- essentially a cosmopolitan city, is obliged to care for jnany destitute" ror- ,j?ig-nerr and that it would be proper in these circumstances to accept all ten ders of assistance. Want Extra Session. TJje local money stringency was some what relieved when the banks resumed business in a small measure thru the branch United States mint. Well known depositors were given certified checks for small sums by the savings banks, and business clients of commer cial banks were accommodated with sums not exceeding $500 each. A special session of the legislature at an early date is being earnestly consid ered by the general committee. The calamity will call for many changes in the California statutes and in the city charter in order to permit new regula tions for increasing indebtedness, long er leases, etc. Free Employment Bureau. The relief of the destitute was con tinued under the new system and it is reported that all unworthy and unde serving^ persons will within a few days be eliminated from the lists. Plans for establishing and maintain ing a large free employment bureau have been perfected and will be speedi ly put into operation. Thru this means it is hoped to afford another channel for assistance and to distinguish the able adult who is willing to work from the man who prefers to subsist on the generosity of others. An, astonishing amount of building has been commenced. The new struc tures are all one-story frames, but they will be sufficient for the immediate needs of their builders. It is difficult to tell exactly how many temporary buildings are being erected, but the carpenters' union reports 5,000 men at work. Money Brokers Worried. The money brokers are confronted with a serious problem, especially those who have been in the habit of advan cing the salaries of municipal em ployees. Today was payday in many of the departments, and the brokers tried to collect the 2, 3, 4 and 5 per cent which they exact. Between the fire and the earthquake many of the assignments have been destroyed, and Auditor llorton wag besieged by anx ious brokers demanding that he accept a substitute for the missing powers or attorney. Horton refuses to give any satisfaction. "The warrants will be given to the persons to whom tbey belong unless proper documents showing a bona-fide assignment are filed," he declared. draw their salaries thru brokers. The profits had become so great that the privilege of negotiating such loans has become a political plum. To secure it, some brokers advanced large sums for campaign purposes with the understand ing that the business would directed to them. QUAKE MADE NEW ISLAND Land Thrown Up in Bolinas Bay Tremblor's Center There. San Francisco, May 2.Professor E. Knowlton has just returned from a thirty-mile walk to Bolinas bay, where he says there is evidence that the re cent earthquake had its center. Few if any of the houses in that vicinity escaped damage, but no fatalities oc curred. There is now an island in Bolinas bay where formerly there were muddy shoals, and on either side of the island the water is ten feet deep. Needs Money. Oakland, Cal., May 2.Governor Par dee has returned from Santa Rosa, where he inspected the ruin wrought by the earthquake. The governor said that the pressing need ox Santa Rosa at present is money. The debris from the wreckage of many buildings must be cleared away before business can be re" sumed. It is estimated that $147,000 will be required to do this work. Thero is a call for $25,000 or $30,000 for im mediate needs. The governor said that the needs at Santa Rosa were depressing, but the townspeople were brave and had faced the situation with determination to re cover. The business district is in ruins while much of the residence portion is destroyed. Seed Wizard Escapes. A remarkable escape from injury was that of Luther Burbank, the world fa mous horticulturalist. His home and experimental gardens were undisturbed. Mr. Burbank saved his valuable collec tion of photographic negatives. These were unbroken tho the other half of the gallery in which they were stored was smashed to splinters. A report has been received from San Jose, which also suffered severely, that the local relief funds have been able to provide all citizens. Clothing, food, shelter and supplies of all kinds have been abundant, and the work will be maintained so long as a single case of destitution remains. Insane Live in Tents. There has been no scarcity of ready monev in San Jcse for ordinary re quirements and very little inconven ience to individuals. The banks will be prepared to reopen in a few days. At the Agnews insane asylum, where great damage was done, most of the inmates are now living tents. Aid in obtaining better shelter and food and clothing would be welcome. Lit tle has been heard from Salinas and other places which were partly wrecked, but as yet no appeals for outside as sistance have been made. NECK WAS BROKEN. Journal Special Service. Fort Dodge, Iowa, May 2.An au topsy held by physicians on the body of Will Church, killed yesterday with a blow of the fist by Albert Kecht in a saloon brawl, showed that his neck was broken.

Duluth, Minn., May 2.Work in the Duluth-Superior harbor is not tied up by the marine strike. One vessel, the Tomlinson steamer, Ball Brothers, cleared yesterday for lower lakes with her crew intact. Whether she will be unloaded at Lake Erie is problematical, but the fact that she began a new trip the first day of the strike With her crew unchanged ifa regarded as the most interesting devel opment of the strike situation at this point. The eight tugs of the Union Towing & Wrecking company went into the slip at 6 o'clock last night, and the fire men, acting under orders from strike headquarters, left their boats. These are the only tugs affected. Detroit, Mich., May 2.Dispatches from Lake Michigan and Lake Erie ports indicate that there has been an almost unanimous response among the local unions to President Keefe's strike order. It is impossible, however, to get from the silent officials of the union here even an estimate of thet number of men out, but unofficial estimates put the figure at 20,000. Cleveland, May 2.Aside from the big passenger steamers from Buffalo and Detroit, which came in on schedule time, no vessels entered this port in the early hours of today. Several vessels of the Pittsburg Steamship coinpany, which arrived here in the past forty-eight hours and are loaded with ore, have been ordered to Brie, Pa., where the bay affords good protection against storms. No attempt will be made to unload them at Erie, however. Buffalo, May 2.The Btrike of the lougshoremen put an effective embargo on Lake Erie commerce yesterday, and today it is expected traffic will stop at all upper lake ports. About 5,000 men are idle and that number will be vastly increased when industries dependent upon lake commerce for supplies are compelled to cease operations. Marquette, Mich., May 2.Five hun dred men, ore handlers and railroad employees, are threatened with idleness here in consequence of the marine strike. A partial suspension at the mines also is feared, involving many hundreds of additional workers and seriously retarding the movement of ore. ACCUSES MOTHER AS POISON SENDER Child Says Father Would Not Have Sent Deadly Candy Victims Recovering. Journal Special Seivice. Trenton, N. J., May 2.With the pos itive assertion that her own mother was the sender of the box of poisoned candy that came near costing several lives, little Josephine Borden Daven port has turned the tide of police in vestigation in that direction. The woman is held in the county jail on another charge, but this is merely to detain her until the poison mystery has been solved. Charles T, Davenport, the child's father, is "detained'' by the order of William J. Grossley, the county prose cutor, pending the investigation, altho the little girl insists that she knows he did not send the box of poisoned candy to her,'' because he loves me too well," as she said with a smile to the prose cutor. It is believed now that all the victims of the poisoned candy will recover. The authorities have not yet discov ered where the candy was bought, and it is believed that the sender was cun ning enough not to get it from any dealer in Trenton. Dr. Adams says that all of the symptoms in those who ate of the candy point to arsenical poi soning, and it is supposed the deadly drug was sprinkled over the contents of the box by the sender just before it was mailed in this city. CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM, SLOGAN OF PARKHURST Journal Special Seivice. New York, May 2.Talking today of the merciless methods by which so many great fortunes have been amassed, the Rev. Dr. Charles Parkhurst said that he firmly believes that the salva tion of this country depends upon an early acceptance and practice of Christian socialism as a political creed. Dr. Parkhurst declared that people of wealth are too much inclined to make a purely selfishy sets and use of as- that if the continutheir to ig nore their responsibilities to society, the end must be national disaster. "Christ, himself, was a Christian so cialist," said Dr! Parkhurst in support of his belief. "He considered himself the trustee rather than the owner of his God-given powers, and that is the keynote of Christian socialism."

DAY OF BATTLE IN PARIS Dragoons Fight Mobs Thruout Day and Evening in Gay City. Journal Special Service. Paris, May 2.May day was one of intense menace, of shattering, nervous excitement, of much sporadic fighting and some bloodshed, but not of the tragic terror which at certain moments seemed inevitable, and that the future may yet hold. The incidents of the day, the scat tering of crowds, the momentary en counters, were little more than danger ous circus riding jfor the troops and po lice. Their officers, as the day grew older, evidently tired and slightly ashamed of maneuvering that merely exposed them to jeers and ended in arrests of the drunk and disorderly type, relaxed their efforts. They let the crowds which they had diverted from labor headquarters on the Place de la Republique assemble at a short distance from that storm center, overlooking or despising some heaps or stones in the street* Instantly arm ing: itself with these stones, the mob rushed on the police line, bombard ing it. The police broke for an instant and a gang yelling, "Death to the repub lican guards!" cut off a dozen of them from the main body, Charge with Bayonets. First the police charged, prodding furiously with the bayonets, then a squadron of dragoons and the mob fled, the fugitives trampling each other and being trampled by the troopers' horses.

Then the streets were cleared save for some thirty wounded and two horses whose legs were broken. A policeman picked up three bloody hatchets the mob had tried to stop the dragoons' charges~by maiming their horses.

STATEHOOD FOLK AWAIT RATE BILL With Railroad Debate Ended, Conferees Intend to Get Down to Business. By W. W. Jermane. Washington, Mav 2.It is announced that the delay of the statehood con ferees to reach an agreement and report it to both nouses is not so much due to their inability to get together as it is to their policy of withholding any re port until after the rate bill is out of the way. Once before during this ses sion the rate bill and statehood came together, and there was an unpleasant clash. It is the desire of the conferees to avoid a repetition of this occurrence. Just as soon as the rate bill has gone thru the senate it is said that the state hood conferees will get down to serious work. Their report{ it is still claimed, will favor the admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory as one state, and the reference of the question of tho union of Arizona and New Mexico to the voters of those territories in ac cordance with the terms of the Foraker amendment. This conference report may lead to protracted debate in both houses, hence the desire to get the rate bill out of the way first. NEW GOUNT ORDERED IN MARQUETTE ELECTION Special to The Journal.

All of tho people who were shot during the rioting on Monday' are aUVe, altho several are expected to die. Despite the threats of the citizens that another battle would result if any of the trpopers entered the town, four squads of Captain Page's men made their appearance on the streets early today. They were all mounted and had their carbines unslung as they rode slowly thru the place. Guns Beady for Action. Hundreds of persons gazed on them with astonishment, as no one dreamed the constables would venture into town in such a small force.
