'jteh San Francisco, April 30.—At a meet
sfev log Sunday at which were present
James D. Phelan, chairman of the fl
nance committee, and some noted law
yers and bankers a plan was broached
for financing the city which it is hoped
will meet the indorsement of the gen
eral committee, it being estimated
b-that the city has suffered a loss ot at
lleast $200,000,000 by fire, it is conced
s^j&ed that there Is not sufficient money
i-i^|In San Francisco to reconstruct .the
•A^icity and that the people here must
i.^ look elsewhere for funds to rehabili
tiijEtate their destroyed fortunes.
Mr. Phelan said that if the money
MJfijiis borrowed throuh ordinary channels
4isthe rate of interest will add a burden
%to the necessarily increased taxation
-rfss&sthat will be too heavy to bear. The

States to indorse the proposed
of San Francisco. With this

"needed money at 2 or 2% per cent,
ijthe bonds to run for fifty years and
constitute a mortgage on the best por
tion of the city.
Precedent Is Pointed Out.
Mr. Phelan asserted that such legis
lation would not be new In congress,
it was by virtually such measures that
/the Central Pacific and the Union Pa
cific railroads were built and more re
cently it was by like legislation that
railways 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
omic and commercial conditions
which prevailed before the fire," said
Vlr. Phelan. "The idea in our minds
"S to somehow get large sums of mon
ey at low rates of interest, secured by
the improvements which we will erect.
Such moneys would be. amply secured,
ani as in the case of Chicago give us
a new city and give to everybody the
means of resuming their ordinary vo
cations in life with the promise of an
abundant reward for their steadfast
ness, within a period of less than five
years. There is no money in the com
munity 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 realize upon their as
sets. They expect next-week to cash
the checks of well-known customers
to the extent of $500 each. That mea
sure will help in a small degree the
resumption of business."

f-o-l The second Sabbath since the fate

in the affairs of the ruined city. While
the old time quietude was missing, the
day witnessed less of the excitement,
confusion and clamor of its immediate
predecessors and the community at
large has been able to make a calmer
survey of the situation and to enter
into"- a more intelligent and rational
preparation for the future.
All possible work of a municipal
character was suspended for the day
and the tired officials, who for nearly
two weeks have labored incessantly
with little sleep to bring a semblance
of order out of chaotic conditions, took
advantage of the lull to secure greatly
needed rest and to pay some attention

several officers
of the Ottumwa police force, at the
point of a big 44-callbre Colt revolver
for almost half an hour, an unknown
man was shot and killed yesterday
morning shortly after 7 o'clock In the
old starch mill building. The shot
that ended the life of the fugitive waa
discharged from a riot gun in the
liana8 of Constable George Blount. Thft
victim evaded arrest by Officers Geo.
Bradley, William Downey, Ernest
mons and Constable Blount by de
liberately firing upon Bradley ani
holding his other pursuers at bay.
The affair occurred early yesterday
morning, while the city was shrouded
in quietness. The unknown man re
fused to pay for a breakfast at the
Pullman cafe on South Washington
street. Ignored the commands of his
pursuers to halt and drop his arms,
and in the end suffered death before ho
would surrender to the law.
Started in Cafe.'
According to the testimbny of Geo.
Pate, waiter in the Pullman cafe, given
at the coroner's Inquest, the man came
into, his place of business about 6:30
o'clock yesterday morning anJ ordered
a thirty cent breakfast. Upon finishing
he drew a 44-calibre gun and backed
out the door. Pate drew the attention
of Officer Geortt^Bradley, who was
standing with-l^Tjfck^ doo%-to—^
the iiian by sayinl^What right has
that man carrying a gun?" Bradley
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
second discharge o" Bradley's gun, the
man stopped and laying the gun over
his left arm, said, "You've flred twlce
now you die/' and his gun discharged.
Getting behind a telephone pole Brad- u'
ley took deliberate aim at the man
and flred three times, but the bullets
went wild. The fugitive continued run
ning until he reached the old starch
works, where he entered the elevator
and ascended to the top floor,* where
he was afterwards shot.
Officer Bradley run out of ammuni
tion before Wapello street was reach
ed. He attracted Officer Pitts' atten
tion and that patrolman approached
frojn the Union depot. He exchanged
guns with Bradley, and the chase after
the man was again begun. Pate, the
waiter, continued to follow the man
when Bradley stopped, and upon the
arrival of the officer at the starch 'X.
works, Pate told him his man was up ..*"•
in the elevator. Assistance was imme
diately summoned and Officers Wil
liam Downey and Ernest Simons and
Constable George Blount were soon on
the scene.
Officer Simons ascended the stairs
to the floor Immediately below the top,
When his head came within view ot
the fugitive, the gun was leveled upon*
him. He immediately descended and
said to the other officers, "He's up
there and has the drop on us." The
riot guns and Chief of Police Daniel
Hannon were telephoned for. Fire
man N. F. Cavens arrived with the
riot guns a short time after and they
were given to Constable Blount and
one of the other officers. Chief Han
non was at his' home and did not ar
rive until after the shooting. Blount,
gun in hand, ascended the stairs ta
capture the man. Upon raising his
head over the level of the top floor,
Blount was immediately covered. The
officer repeatedly commanded the man
to drop his gun and come down but
this was of no avail. Upon ralslr
