FatiRued on Arrival.
In response to notice of the arrival of the
first coach load of homeless San Francis
cans journeyinR eastward Mayor Zimman
and superintendent Morris Of the.Assoclated
Charities hurried to the Union station and
spent almost the whole morning there ar
ranging for the feeding OF the arrivals. A
combination breakfast and dinner was at
last procured at the station eating house
for 80 cents a person and the band which
had not tasted food for hours was repen-
ished. The people were worn out physically
and mentally after their long. hard ride in
the coach at the expense OF the Union Pa
cifc and the meal gave a pleasure to be re-
membered in later years. Mayor Zimman
said:
1T is clear that from now on much of
the energy and funds Of the relief COM
mittee will have to be devoted to taking
care of the refugees passing through II
they come in anything like the numbers
indicated. We have used up most Of it,
not more than the amounts collected and
It may be that for a while our cash must
be devoted TO helping the throng passing
through. l have received no replies to my
kilograms asking San Francisco whether
we should continue sending supplies or to
remit money"
