San Francisco, April 30.—At a meet
ing Sunday at which were present
James D. Phelan, chairman of the fi
nance committee, and some noted law
yers and bankers a plan was broached
•-Sot financing the city which it Is hoped
will meet the Indorsement of the gen
eral committee. It being estimated
..that the city has suffered a loss of at
/Jeast $200,000,000 by fire, it Is conced
'ed that there Is not sufficient money
•In San Francisco to reconstruct..the
city and that the people here must
look elsewhere for funds to rehabili-
tate their destroyed fortunes.
-r%' Mr. Phelan said that if the money
,-^tJb borrowed throuh ordinary channels
S5$fthe rate of interest will add a burden
•H'^to the necessarily Increased taxation
5-that will be too heavy to bear. The
plan of Mr. Phelan is to frame leglsla
l«^'tion to present to congress asking the
'A United States to indorse the proposed
'Ji bonds of San Francisco. With this
guarantee of the government the city
will be able to go Into the financial
fy markets of the world and borrow the
peeded money at 2 or 2% per cent,
the bonds to run for fifty years and
constitute a mortgage on the best por

early this morning. No damage

San Francisco can use anything

Three hundred thousand dollars
was forwarded by wire by the
American Red Cross today to
Jam.es D. Phelan of San Francisco.
He was advised that $1,000,000
more was at the disposal/of the
Red Cross committee.

mIt was by virtually such measures that

-j| cently it was by like legislation that
ranways in the Philippines became as
sured to the people of the islands.
"Everybody is willing to work and
to make necessary sacrifices if the
tools, as it were, are put into their
lands to reestablish the social, eco
omlc and commercial conditions
which prevailed before the fire," said
Mr. Phelan. "The1 idea in our minds

iani as in the case of Chicago give us
a new city and give to everybody the
means of resuming their ordinary vo

abundant reward for their steadfast

If years. There Is no money in the com
munity in circulation. The banks are
closed because they dare not open
"*i their heated vaults and when they do

answered, "Well, I'll see," and start
ed aftfer the man, ordering him to halt.
The officer and fugitive raced around
the Union depot and west on the Bur- •:.
lington tracks, Bradley calling to the
man to "halt." Upon receiving no re
sponse, the officer fired two shots, one
in the air and the other to one side of
the fugitive. Immediately after the

man stopped and laying the gun over
his left arm, said, "You've fired twlce
now you die/' and his gun discharged.
