Seven Hundred CarloacU Have Been Distributed and Only 103 on the Way Check on Waste Four Build ings Wrecked by Dynamite. San Kranclsco, May 1. A feeling ttltln to consternation was created at the meeting of tho general inuulcipnl coin in ItLuo when Mayor Schmltz staf 'd Hint tho city laced a shortage In the food supply. It had been tho pop ular belief, and that of many otllcials also, that San Francisco, through tho Kencruti3 aid of tho nation, had been I Iilnced In a position above wont for a I long time, and tho mayor's declara tlon cunio in tho nature of a naintul surprise. Mayor Schmitz Informed tho committee that from' Information in his possession it appeared that 700 carloads of food and supplies of varl-' oils descriptions hud been distributed i since tho morning of tho earthquake AN mANCISCO FLATS SUNK ONK BTOIlV INTO OKOUND. on April 18, and tho railroads had In formation of only 108 cars on the way. "If," said tho mayor, "this Informa tion is correct, and I have no reason to doubt It, wo will soon bo worse off than we wero a week ago. If tho information has gono abroad through out tho country that we aro amply supplied, it is most unfortunate, for It is apparent that wo aro not." It was decided at a confer ence held by Governor Pardee, Con gressman Kahn, General Greoly and Mayor Mott that tho distribution of relief supplies In Oakland should be iilso placed under military direction, fcimilnr to that In San Francisco. Oaklanl. being tho nearest large placo of rcluge from this city, has been obliged to attend to tho task of feed ing and housing thousands of unfortu nate people and It Is stated that tho flamo misuse of food by unscrupulous and mercenary persons has been un earthed there. The plan of General Greoly for dis tributing food to people In want was commenced In a number of tho newly created districts and there was some diminution noticeable in tho output of food. An unfortunate happening was the destruction of a number of homes In the saved section on Van Ness ave- line. Tho blasting gang was notliled that certain insecuro walls were a menace to pedestrians, and In order to blow up an unusually solidly con structed Tncado, was obliged to use a large quantity of dynamite. As a rc- CITY ItAIX AKTEH THE rillK. eult of the tremendous explosion, four houses on the other sldo of the city's broadest thoroughfare wero utterly wrecked. Signs of renewal In industrial activ ity were apparent in many parts of tho burned district and tho work of clearing nway debris preparatory to rebuilding was In progress In a score of plnces. It was suid that plans for over thirty largo buildings will bo drawn nnd will be submitted to tho author ities Immediately after the building laws aro promulgated. Tho mayor notified tho board of supervisors that lie would appoint a committee, con sisting of engineers, architects, build frs and lawyers, to preparo plans for laying out streets and boulevards and reconfetructlng San Francisco. Street car lines aro being extended In all directions and tho United Rail- iiEi32Ejaj i i wa'B hna Promised to glvo tho people within a Hhorttlmo a boUor system of transit than existed before tho fire. At tho meeting of the flnnnco com mittee no plans were submitted for solving tho flnnnclnl troubles of tho city and that question still remains open for future consideration. Chairman Rouse Is Dead.
