APPEAL TO WOMEN.

The Women's League, feeling
that the Women of Richmond
should do something toward re-
Iieving the homeless and desti-
tute people Of San Francisco, has
called mass meeting for Satur-
day, at 2:3o at East Mtin Street
Friends Church to consider using
for that purpose the fund now Iy-
ing in the treasury, and to raise
as much more as possible. Even
the smallest sum will help to swell
the general fund. Contributions Of
clothing, bedding and supplies will
be most welcome. These are our
fellow citizens; they are home
less and starving. Is it not our
first duty to do all in our power to
alleviate their distress?
Every woman of Richmond is a
member of the league and as you
responded so promptly to our call
last fall, woIl you not do SO now?
MRS. JAMES MORRISON Pres.
MRS. GEO. n. kNOLLENBERG,

The Richmond Commercial Club. the

Of supplies Of one sort and another

The ferry is their destination and
none feels relief unless the boat to
convey them to Oakland is boarded.

cracked and crumpled walls, grim
monuments of the frightful disaster,

a scorching sun that glares redhot

from the bodies in the debris is un-

Care of Three Hundred thousand
Homeless Persons Is Now
the Problem.

San Francisco, April 20.-The care
of three hundred thousand homeless
and hungry is now the main problem
the authorities have 20 solve. Bread,
meat and drink are lacking. All the
leading cities and towns throughout
TIE country are now eXerting them
selves to aid the sufferers and pro-
visions are now heaced for them from
many points.
Bread has already sold as high as
81 loaf in the stricken city and two
loaves and can o. sardines brought
in one instance $3.50. But this condi-
tion cf affairs will not be permitted
to last long. In towns across the bay
the master bakers have met and fixed
the price of bread at cents a loaf,
with the understanding that they will
refuse to sell to retailers who attempt
to charge famine prices. The commit
tee of citizens now in charge of the
situation here will also use every eff
fort to keep the price of food down
to the ordinary price.
Police confiscate Goods.

of fifty of the leading citizens of San

fremen at Leary and Vanness street

Had this failed nothing would have
been left except few shacks on the
Citskirts of the city The success of
the final stand was due to the use of

is saved which is the northwest resi-

ing Mr.. Lynch of the First National
reported that a committee had exam
ined all bank and SAFETY deposit
vaults and found them intact. With
this assurance that all money papers
are safe he also reported that books
and records of the City Hall escaped
injury.
Situation Well in Hand.
Funston reports the situation we'll
in hand and no more troops needed.
Owing to threatened famine he asks
for large supplies of food, tentage and
blankets.
Now Under Control.
The situation at San Francisco is
at last under control, at least one
quarter of the city can be saved but
that portion is but sparsely settled.
The residential section and the en-
tire vitals of the metropolis of the
Pacific coast is burned out and a
mass of smoking ruins marks what
was the business section of the city.
General Funston, who under the di-
rection of the mayor is relieving dis
tress, succeeded in bringing consid-
cradle order out of chaos that existed
since the first and now no one is suf-
fering more than is to be expected
when the magnitude of the catastro-
phe is considered. Concentration
camps are being handled with mill
tary precision. Rations are doled out
without stint.
Water Famine Averted.
The one horror feared-water fam
ine-was averted tonight when the
water company completely connected
with the larger mains and now no
one feels pangs of thirst. Supply
trains bearing provisions of all kinds
turned over to the military authori-
ties.
AS far as possible all refugees have
been taken from the city and work
will now go on with vigor.
Will Rebuild City at Once.
The city will be rebuilt. This was
decided on at meeting of the lead
ing citizens and city officials today.
Just what will be done along this line
can not be fully determined for sever
al days. But already scores of men
are at work clearing debris, making
start getting conditions for shape
for contractors and builders. There is
enough aid in sight so that every one
will be able to rebuild. There will be
general ,readjustment Of street lines,
so that thoroughfares will be wider
than heretofore and laid out with an
eye to preventing conf1agrations in
the future.
Relief stations for the homeless
have been established at Golden Gate
Park, Preside and San Bruno road.
while at North Beach there are small
er camps, chiefly inhabited by well
known merchants.
BY the order or the authorities
Funston will take charge of all sup
plies of nature in order that exhorbit-
ant prices cannot be charged by those
controlling supplies.
Terrible Tales Told.
Terrible tales are told of the mad
things which have been done since
Wednesday. This morning the sol-
diers had to use force to keep the res
idents from rushing into doomed
buildings TO rescue their valuables.
The Business District.
To state just what sections have
been destroyed is TO print list of
the streets in the business districts.
Customs houses and bonded ware
houses are the on.y buildings left.
The business district is bounded by
the water front on the east, Franklin
street on the west, Broadway on the
North and Folsom street on the
south.
