Senator Newlands said a New York Herald dispatch claiming a $100,000,000 loan plan to San Francisco was premature. He had only asked South Pacific Railway counsel W. F. Herron for feasibility input and no formal agreement or certainty existed. He noted broad sympathy for San Francisco and a tendency to side with relief efforts.

President's Message Promises Forceful Oil Probe Dockets
The president's forthcoming message will harshly critique oil industry methods and expose the Standard Oil trust through related testimony. Investigators report immunity may be offered to smaller rivals to testify, while Standard Oil officials are not expected to be granted leniency. Public expectations mount for possible judicial action and a substantial special fund for prosecutions. Eight men were injured in a New York gas tunnel explosion, with four not expected to survive, and a Springfield will directs about $10,000 to the “saints” after the wife’s death.
