Shanties sprout as San Francisco rebuilds after quake
The 1906 earthquake leaves San Francisco a scorched wreck as foundations remain scarce and insurers and banks delay funding. Remnant activity focuses on clearing land while painted lease signs dot the blackened hills. The New York Herald analyzes Bryan’s tariff reform stance amid shifting Democratic currents as Roosevelt supports Taft. A visiting matron avoids meat after jungle journalism scares and praises simpler ball game news. The bill granting $25,000 yearly travel pay to the president passes with Rourke Cockran voting yes. The president predicts Bryan’s nomination and Taft as opponent, while Fairbanks dissents. Longest day of the year noted.

Slaughter Not Notice Amid Railroad Fatalities
The article notes that while Civil War casualties would be immense, actual railroad accidents in the United States from June 30, 1903 to June 30 show 10,046 deaths and 4,155 injuries, a statistic that seems to fail to shock public sentiment, likened to an idle Cincinnati Enquirer attitude.

Old Laws In Forge Clarify City Officer Vacancies
The Supreme Court rules that when a city ward has no vacancy after a tie in electing a councilman, special selection is unnecessary. The ruling interprets the municipal code and states that old officers retain status if no vacancy exists and clarifies the purpose of the act to allow filling by people only when a regular election failed.
