! Fesentatives of the relief committees
Of San Francisco are making any dis
tinction in relieving, succoring or pro-
tecting the Chinese or any other peo-
pie differing in race or color are to-
tally false and entirely unfounded. The
committees, and even the homeless
sufferers themselves are treating the
Chinese and all other fellow unfor-
tunates with the consideration worthy
of our civilization and our country.
The people of San Francisco are striv-
ing with all their heart to relieve their
destitute. care for the sick. protect their
helpless and uplift their stricken, ir-
respective of the race, creed or color,
in accordance with the dictates of hu-
manity in manner worthy of Ameri-
cans, and in the common brotherhood
of man. Please give press"
Food For All.
The work of housing and feeding the
homeless and reconstructing the sani.
tary conditions are carried on with
tremendou r is certain that
mo one Is San Francisco.
There is food for all. and the method
of distributing it has been so perfected
that it is within the reach of all As
for the health and sanitary conditions,
there is, considering all circumstances,
nothing to be desired. An investigation
of the sewers has shown that they were
not as badly damaged as was feared.
and while there were breaks they have
been repaired. There has been no out |
break of disease of a contagious char
acter, nor is any feared. and as for
those pulmonary diseases that might |
be expected to be prevalent in such .
a crisis, they are chiefly notable by |
their absence. The hospitals, which
in the few instances were crowded by
great numbers, are discharging them
by the score.
Housing the Homeless.
In the great stretches of the Golden
Gate Park. famed the world over for
its beauty, have arisen frame shells,
housing 10000 people. There is still
want of blankets, bedding
and cots. and when this has been met,
as possibly it will be within the next
"a hours, the condition of those unfor
-unates will, in view of all that has
happened, be almost ideal.
For some days San Francisco
showed an unwonted eagerness to get
i'd of its people. That period has now
passed. Of the able-bodies mechanics
md laborers she had especial need
nd is making every endeavor to hear
