BAN FRANCISCO, April .-The second
Sabbath since the fateful April 18 has
served aa a rlearlnr house in the affair
of this ruined city. While the old-time
quietude it missing-, the day has witnessed
les of the excitement, confusion and
clamor of its immediate predecessors and
the community at large ha been enabled
tn malt a calmer airvev of the Situation
and to enter Into a more Intelligent and
rational prrnnntlon lor the future.
All possible work was auspended for the
day, and the tired officials, who for nearly
two weeka have labored Incessantly, with
little sleep, to bring semblance of order
out of chaotio conditions, took advantage
of the lull to secure greatly needed rest
and to pay some attention to pressing
personal needs.
With the advent of the Sabbath came an
opportunity to review the tremendous ac
complishment of the lust eleven days to
provide remedies In the defects in the task
of Judiciously caring for all clas.ea of the
destitute. Irrespective of race or creed.
Plans for solving the tremendous financial
problems that confront the city begnn, to
day to assume tangible form and Sunday
closed with the brightest prospect that lias
faced Ban Francisco since three-fourths of
Its territory waa laid waste,
Arrar to Distribute Belief.
Probably the most Important development
of Uie day was the promulgation by Qen
eral Greeley of his plan for the dlstrlbu
tlon of relief supplies. Reports of theft.
deception, misappropriation, waste and ex
travagance have been constantly received
since provisions and clothing began pour
ing In to succor the afflicted, and It Is no
believed that misuse of supplies will here
after be Impossible.
In the first daya of the lire little or no
attempt was made to keep check on food
stuffs, the main Idea being to provide
against want, and It la natural thai under
this excusable haphaxard order of affairs
many abuses should arise. But even when
the linea were more tightly drawn un
scrupulous persons continued to take ad
vantage of the general distress and It was
tht-n realised that the salvation of the
sit nation, rested with- the army.' Bo the
ofBrlals of this branch of the federal gov
eminent were called upon to engage In an
unprecedented service. That success will
doubtless meet their efforts may be In.
ferretl from the completeness of the plan
of General Oreeley. The unturned part of
the city will be divided Into seven dl
trlcts In charge of army officers, who will
assume control of all the relief stations now
established.
Responsible civilians will be Installed un
der salary at the substations for the pur
pose of clerical work and dally records and
checks will be kept. It is declared that the
period of extreme distress has passed and
at the earliest possible moment the issue
of rations mutt be confined to helpless
women and children and refused to -adult
males, unless they are sick or In enfeebled
condition. Issues of luxuries or articles of
special diet will be confined to infants and
Invalids. Rigid economy 1 enjoined upon
any officer engaged In relief work. In each
of the seven districts there will be 100. ta.
tlons. The amount of food to be allowed
each person, with latitude for certain con
ditlons, la specified, and the allowance Is
based on the arrry ration.
Plaa to Secure Foods.
At the meeting today at which were pres.
ent Jamei P. Phelnn, chairman of the
finance committee, and some noted lawyers
and banke'iB, a plan was broached for
financing the city, which it Is hoped will
meet with the endorsement of the general
committee. It being estimated that the city
has suffered a loss if at least $-O,OO.Oo0 by
fire, it is considered that there Is not suf
flclent money In San Francisco to recon.
struct the city and that the people here
must look elsewhere for fundi to rehabtll
tat their destroyed fortunes.
Mr.' Fhelan aald that if the money Is
borrowed through ordinary channels, the
rate of Interest will add a burden t
necessarily increased taxation that will
be too heavy to bear. The plan of Mr.
Phelan la to frame legislation to preset!
to congress asking the United States to
endorse the proposed bond of Ban Fran
cisco. Wtth this guarantee of the govern
ment, the city will be able to go Into the
financial market of the world and borrow
the needed money at 2 to 2V per cent, the
bonds to run for fifty years and conatttut
a mortgage on the best portion of the city.
Mr. Phelan asserted that such legislation
would not be new in congress. It was by
virtually such measures that the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads were
built, and more recently by like legislation
that railroad In the Philippines became as
sured to the people of the Islands.
The work of furnishing the necessities of
life to the homeless and needy continues
with more system and with unabated
energy, but desplj the care of the officials
at the heads of the bureau complaint are
reported of oversight in supplying ta
tions, but these error are quickly recti
fled. Tomorrow the Red Cross people ex
pect to have their Individual ticket system
in operation and this will facilitate the
plans ef the army In preventing abuses,
skelter for Practically All.
The number of people without substantial
ahelier has been reduced to a minimum.
The housing committee reported today that
us work had been almost completed, the
applications for accommodations havin,
used. The work of this committee ha
uven lessened by the numerous departure
of people In teal to other part of the
mate. Religious service were held In the
open air In many of the saved district
today and In churches that were pro
nuunced aaf for Immediate use throng
gathered to listen to the sermons of the
clergymen.
Probabaiy the most significant instance of
the determination of the officials to bring
about a restoration of the old order of
things and of the disposition of the people

SUFFERINGS OF LAPLANDERS
Reindeer Starve and People Who
'- Depend oa Them for ffupport
Follow.
STOCKHOLM, April 29.-tSpeclal Cable
gram to The Bee.) Replying to a question
In tho Riksdag with regard to the su (Tur
ing of the Lapland population In the north,
the milliliter of the interior explained that
the starvation of the reindeer herds which
was causing famine among the Lapps was
due more to immediate climatic conditions
In the districts whero the reindeer were
pastured than the effects of the Karlstad
convention limiting the pasture rights of
these nomads. A hard frost following a
partial thaw had covered the snow with a
thick Ice crust through which the reindeer
were unable to reach the mcsse they
feed on.
To save tln ! h leer herds from starva
tion they had b .i driven across the fron
tier Into Finland and Norway long before
the period fixed by treaty for these migra
tions, Biid had been rniseju..fUly driven
back under penalty of Imv.ied.late confisca
tion. Legally this proceeding on the par'.
of tne local authorities Is perfectly Justi
fied, but it ha culled forth articles In the
Swedish press showing that the very exlrt-
ence of the nomadic I-apl.mders in
threatened unler.w a better regulation cf
their pastoral conditions can be devised
A the minister said in concluding hi
statement In Parliament, their existence In
absolutely dependent on the generosity of
the three nations within whose, frontiers
their pasture lar.1i lie. These are bound to
agree In creatine for the Laplander such
conditions of existence as are essential to
their nomadic pastoral pursuits. If thtr
gradual extinction and d'ttrperanv from
the land of which they wre t,e rigmal
owner Is to be averted.

and of Jenny Llnd were evoked the other
day by Maltre Cluny In the first chamber
of the Paris civil tribunal. It was in a

Barnum's widow married a Greek named
Lambro Kallias, who waa the owner of
vineyards at Mytllene, the ancient Lesbos,
In the Grecian archipelago, and H0.0CO. It
appears as though the $40,o0 was deposited
with the Credit Lyonnal., The widow
claimed the money and the vineyard, but
the Greek relative, including a lady named
Aphrodite Kallias, also advanced rights to
the estate. These have Joined with the
Credit Lyonnais against the widow and a
French court has been asked to decide the
matter.

WEEK'S WORK FOR CONGRESS
Senate Will Attempt to Bet Time for Vote
on Bate Bill
SEVENTY AMENDMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
Hon Will Begin Actual Consid
eration of the Agricultural
Appropriation Bill
Today.
WASHINGTON, April I'S.-Railroad rate
legislation continues to hold first place
in the United States senate. There are
three or four more general speeches to be
made on the bill and when the last one
of them shall have been heard, If not be
fore, there will be an agreement upon a
time for taking the final vote. This Is ex
pected to be about May 10. So far official
notice has been given of only two more
speeches. They will be made by Senator
Clark of Arkansas, who will speak Mon
day, and by Senator Daniel, who will be
heard Tuesday. It is possible that Senators
Rayner and Frasler and even others will
desire to be heard, so that a considerable
portion of the present week will be de
voted to general discussion. By common
consent several days will be consumed in
considering amendments under the rule
limiting speeches to ten minutes. The
Intention la to give a week to conslderaton
of the bill under that rule, and as this con
sideration will necessarily be postponed
until the close of the general debate,
the effect may be to delay the final vote,
but not for more than a few days at most.
Set ent Amendment to Consider.
Senator Tillman's. Intention is to ask
for unanimous consent to vote on a day
to be named, an 1 'then If this is secured
to allow the senate to decide for Itself
how much time It will devote to amend
ments. So far about seventy amendments
have been suggested, but It is not expected
that a great many of them will be seriously
considered. Attention will be concentrated
largely upon the court review question.
Senator generally say that some kind of
review provision is probable, but predic
tions as to which of them will be chosen
range all the way from Senator Long'
to Senator Foraker's suggestion. It Is
rlalmed that there will be a solid republican
vole against Senator Bailey's nonsuspen
slon provision
Program of the House.
The real legislative work of the national
house of representatives on the agricul
tural appropriation bill will begin this week.
The general debate on this measure took a
wider range and occupied considerable more
time than had been expected. Tho two
sides of the tariff question were laid be.
fore tho country and there was little said
regarding the bill, although it remained
before the house throughout the week.
Today will be given up to the passage
of bills under suspension of the rules. Many
Important bills have been passed In the
house this session on suspension days and
with Mr. Williams, the minority leader,
objecting to all "unanimous consent" legis
lation, to further the statehood bill sus
pension becomes all the more Important.
Speaker Cannon has received more ap
plications for recognition under thin order
than the time will permit and It I not un
likely that suspension day may be "re
cessed" into Tuesday In order that minor
matter may be cleared up. One of the
efforts today will be by the committee on
Immigration to give the recently Imported
immigration bill a "right of way" over all
but appropriations.
The agricultural bill will be taken up
Tuesday and It Is estimated that two days
will be consumed In reading and perfecting
its sections. The naval appropriation bill
Is in waiting and tho plan now Is to call It
up the moment the agricultural bill Is out
of the way. Claim have the right of way
Friday so that at the best Thursday and
Friday can be given to the navy bill. A
week In addition to these two day will
be occupied on this measure.
The sundry civil bill will be In readlnes
when the naval bill Is out of the way.

When the first archblshon of TU.lt Imnra

foundation upon which the church of
America was to rise to its full and glorious
height. For, whether we consider the
ever-Increasing number of priests ordained

We need not tell you what sentiments of
good will and of heartfelt Interest we share

we have always most ardently sought and
are now equally eager to adopt whatsoever

the American people to still greater efforts
In behalf of our catholic faith.
Right Joyously, then, we express our

FRAUDS IN REGISTRATION
Three Hundred and Fifty Discovered in the
Third Ward Alone.
ILLEGAL WORK EXTENDS TO OTHER PARTS
Republicans Assert Democrats Mean
to teal Election and Warrants
of Arrest Will Be Beady
nt Polls.
Conclusive evidence of election frauds
on the largest scale ever known in Omaha
waa disclosed by the registration Satur
day. Detectives and volunteer cttlxens. work
ing under the direction of the republican
city committee Sunday, canvassed the
residences given by men suspected of hav
ing registered illegally and discovered
hundreds of fictitious addresses. The Il
legal registration is said to have been
chiefly In the Third ward, but was found
to have beon crevalent In the Second and
Tenth wards and In the Fifth precinct of
the Ninth ward as well, besides having
extended to ether wards In small propor
tions.
Three Hundred and Fifty In Third.
A. II. Burnett, a member of the republi
can executive committee, said:
"In the Third ward alone we have dis
covered something like 350 Instances of
registration of persons who cannot be
found at the addresses given. There are
hundreds In other wards and we are still
prosocutlng the effort to run down every
case of Illegal registration. There Is no
doubt whatever that a desperate attempt
has been concocted to win this election
for the democrats by foul means. The
character of the registration shows be
yond a doubt that Benson should carry
the city by from 2,000 to 3.500 votes. We
have made careful arrangements to arrest
every man Illegally registered when ho at
tempts to vote. The warrants will bo Is
sued Monday by the county attorney's of
fice and deputy sheriffs will be on hand
at the polling places in every precinct to
arrest the fraudulent registered persons
when they appear. The names used will
be thosa of men registered who cannot bo
located in Omaha.
Agents Jo Ont In Pairs.
"Our plan consisted of sending reliable
men out In pair with quantities of circu
lar addressed to names we suspected
were fraudulently entered. In the Third
ward the registration total was about 850.
Our agents worked hard Sunday and at 6
o'clock had discovered about 350 instances
where the men could not be found. Va
cant lots, business houses and even the
middle of railroad yards were Included In
the addresses given. Where a house stood
at the number the Inmates declared they
knew of no such persons as the names
registered. One man gave his address as
the Barker hotel, a house that has not
been doing business for several years and
which was. converted into a wholesale
implement establishment. These are fair
Illustrations of the frauds exposed."
F. K. Buckmlnster, the Chicago detec
tive, who with a force of operative Is
hired by the republicans to prevent fraud
on the part of the deomcrat say that
at least 200 non-residents registered Sat
urday, not onJy,ence but several times.
He suspect that many of them came from
South Omaha.
Democrats Mean to Steal It.
"It 1 aa clear as daylight to me that the
democrat mean to steal this election,"
said he. "Gangs of repeater have been
brought here to register and vote a many
times as possible. At least 200 men are Im
plicated In the Job. Warrant will be Issued
Monday and those who can't be found will
be arrested when they attempt to vote.
We have been promised all the special
deputy sheriffs wo need in addition to the
regular force."
At the Fontanelle club activity in check
ing up registration lists continued all day
Sunday. Much was suspected Saturday
night, but few members of the republican
committee dreamed of anything like the
disclosure developed.
Over Six Thousand Total.
The total number registering Saturday
with three precincts missing Is 6,618. It is
estimated that at least half of these were
transfer from one ward or precinct to an

Jens Ktintson of T wenty-llfih nnd Bur
lielte streets, while peering through tho
lion fence between the tracks and the '
camp, e.-pn d a youth whom lie Instantly
claimed us his son, who ran away from
home at Fremont six yiars ago and waa
last hen rd of n year hk in California. Tho
youth in iiu.stion gave his name as Arthur
Lucas, lately of 4S7 l'erry street, San Fran
cisco, and now en route to an iinelo at Dav
enport, la. The young man stoutly denied
any relationship to Knutson nnd gave dates
and other Information to establish his luen
tliy. Al h nKlh the man and youth parted,
the latter taking the matter as a Joke,
while Knutson turned sorrowfully away
and prosucd through the curious crowd.
Wo a n on H mi a father.
The mutter was lirst brought to the at
tention of young Lucas Saturday afternoon,
when Mrs, Warren SI I bolt of 25(il BurdcHo
strcit accosted Lucas and declared him to
ho Alfred Knutson, who ran away from
Fremont six years ago. Lucas at once de
nied the allegation, but the woman said she,
knew the. Knutson boy for many year as
a neighbor and could not be fooled. Mrs.
Ktllinlt then went went away, to return
Sundry ufternoon with her friend, Jen
Knutson. Mrs. Stlbnlt told the man to look
around the camp and pick out the boy for
himself, and sure enough Knutson picked
young I.uciiS out of tho crowd after a min
ute's survey of the faces.
Iietectlves Maloney and Pruminy and sev
eral Red' Cross attaches became interested
in tho inaiter and effected a meeting of the
man and youth. Kuutson's face waei visibly
a fleeted, but the youth showed no signs of
emotion.
"I know that is my boy Just ss sure as I
know- I am living or standing on thin
ground." declared Knutson when ques
tioned. "Those eyes, that face, the teeth-
why, I know he is my boy," continutd Knut
son.
Hut Still the Hoy Maya Xary.
But Lucas told his lire story and said
Knutson surely must bo mistaken. Lucas
said he was born at Harlan, la., and re
membered going to his naither's funeral
when ho was 6 years of age. He remem- '
hcred his mot tier telling him his father
dii'd when ho was a year old. Hla
mother wna burled at Mount View ceme
tery, Oakland. At the time of the earth
tinko Lucas was living with his cousin,
Tin. mas Williams, at the address mentioned.
Lucas aroused ihe cousin from a deep
slumber and escaped from the house shortly
before tho cousin was killed. Lucas said
he Ih now on hla way to Pavenport, la.,
whero hla uncle, Frank William, resides.
Asked for the address of the uncle In
Davenport l.urus said ho could not remem
ber the address, and questioned a to the
last recollection of that relative the youth
said it was on an occasion when the uncle
scut him u 10 bill.
Knutson said his lost son wa born In
Denmark and would be 19 year of uge If
living now. Lucaa said he would be 19
net SeptemlM-r. Knutson now live In
Omaha. His wife, from whom he separated,
resides at Fremont.
At the conclusion of the Interview be
tween Knutson and Lucaa yesterday after
noiai the man said: "Well, I can't make
him own me If he does not want to. I
know 1 I. ave seen my son and I guess the
best thing to do Is to let him go 111 way."
There was a striking similarity of fea
tures when Knutson and Lucaa WKS
brought together.
