Ing the relief work. Reports showed that
fifty carloads of food have been started to
San Francisco by representatives of the
Red Cross in all parts of the United States.
and as the army is rushing provisions from
every convenient center, 1t is likely that
the Red Cross Will hereafter concentrate its
efforts on the raising of cash. The dispatch
or Judge Morrow and similar dispatches
from other persons in California Indicate
that food for present needs will be avail
able IN a short time, and as storage facii-
ties are limited In California an attempt

in additional checks. This money Is being
sent to army officers in the west who have

Cross agent sent from New York to San
Francisco, will reach California today and
begin immediate cooperation with the
army in caring for the needy. Both Mayor

dee have advised the Red Cross of their

TIES IN CONCORD.

directed to the reports that friction ex-
listed at San Francisco between General
Funston and Mayor Schnlitz, he sent a
message to General Funston asking for the
facts in the case. General Funstons reply,
received at the War Department yesterday,
reads follows:
Report of disagreement between Mayor
SchTnitz and myself must be based on the
excited imagination of some overworked
newspaper correspondent. Mayor Schmitz
and myself have been working together in
the unity of doing great work, and we are
helping to the extent of our ability, and
apparently to the satisfaction of every
friend of the community and all unfor-
tunate people of the city,

grams from Mayor Schrnitz on this sub
Ject. The first one which was dated Sat
urday. reads as follows:
report of conflict between General Fun

ship and harmony General Funston's ex-
ceifent work, his good judgment and his
zeal in cur cause by day and by night are
appreciated by the people of San Fran
cisco IN this hour of great distress. The
army and nation are to be congratulated
on the possession of such officers as General
Funston
The second dispatch from Mayor Schmitz
is as follows:
experimenting my telegram of Saturday
L wish again, even in the midst of our great
troubles to express my indignat ion at the
remarkably malicious and decidedly I'M
truthful suggestion that a conflict exists
between General Funston and myself
wish to emphasize the pleasantness and
harmony of our relations and co-opera-
ton"

flying people of the danger and caring for
the helpless. The homeless are being
cared for in Oakland and other suburban
places. Thousands are camped in the park
and other open country south of city. Peo-
pie are being able to get into the ruins
