In the first stage Of Its regeneration.
There were no hungry people here
Sunday might; the gaunt pecter of tar
vation has been banished by the mag
nificent response Of the people of CAL
ifornia in particular and by the entire
nation In general to the appeals that
went out for assistance. Food by the
carload and boatload poured into
Oakland Saturday night and Sunday in
sufficient quantities to overwhelm the
committee which has in charge its dis
tribution. So great was the volume
of foOdstuffs brought in to the general
depot at Oakland mole that the general
committee Sunday made an appeal for
skilled labor In the handling of these
supplies. Grocers, butchers and COM
mission men have been requested to
secure men who are familiar in the
handling Of foodstuffs in order that
the confusion attendant upon the dis
tribution at the scores of stations es-
tablished might 60 on without con-
fusion.
1t must not be understood by the
charitable people Of the country that
there is surfeit Of food for the suffer
ers. While the supply is abundant at
this writing, 1t is well for the public
to remember that the homeless thou
sands must be fed and cared for by the
organized relief committees for an in
definite period. 1t is desired, thern-
fore, that contributions be continued
everywhere until the people who have
been rendered helpless and destitute by
the city's misfortune can care for

the following suggestion:
Contributions both In money and In
kind are being given most generously
for the relief Of those who have suf

Unless there is a proper organization
for the handling Of these contributors
they will in large part be wasted and
will in large part fail to reach the
very people whom 1t is most to be de-
sired they should reach. The Ameri
can National Red Cross Association
has sent out to take charge of the re-
lief work Dr. Edward Devine, general
secretary Of the Charity Organization
society Of New York, whose experience
has been very large in work Of this
kind. DR.. Devine will work in con
junction with Judge Morrow, United
States circuit court of the Ninth circuit
and the head of the California Red
Cross Association.
Gen. Funston has already been Ill
rected to cooperate with DR.. Deylne
and has advised the secretary of war
that he will do 80. Secretary Metcalf,
who is on his way to the Pacific slope.
will at once put himself in touch with
DR.. Devine as well as with the judge,

mayor Of San Francisco, to see II there

do, and he will assist In all possible

that DR. Devine be notified by tele-
graph of the consignments.
At the same time Mr.. Jacob H.
Schiff, the treasurer of the New York
Red Cross Association in New York
may be notified that the consignments
have been sent to DR.. Devine or else
the notification can be sent to Hon.
Charles H. Keep, assistant secretary Of
the treasury, Washington, D. c., and
treasurer of the American Red Cross
Association. also suggest that all
contributions that have already been
forwarded be brought to the attention
of DR.. Devine by telegraph, which tele-
gram should state the name and adj
dress of the consignee and the amount
and nature Of the consignment. 1t is
better to send all moneys to Mr.. Keep
or Mr.. Schiff; they will then be telc-
gfraphed to DR.. Devine as the money is

Los Angeles, CAL, = "Straage is

who reached Los Angeles Friday

wooden warrens where the slant,

deep holes and scared with dark pas.

gone and the winds are streaking
the ashes.
While men never knew the depth
OF Chinatown's underground CITY,"
says Mr.. Overton, "they often talked
of these subterranean runways And
many Of them had gone beneath tha
street levels, two and three stories.
But now that Chinatown has been
unmasked, for the destroyed build
ings were only mask, men from the
hillside have looked on where it's
inner secrets lay. In places they can
see passages 100 feet deep.
"The fire swept this Mongolian Sec
tion clean. 1t left no shred of the
painted wooden fabric. 1t ate down
to the bare ground and this lies stark,
for the breezes have taken away the
light ashes. Joss houses and mis-.
sion schools, grocery stores and opl-
um dens, gambling hells and thea
ters-all of them went. The build
ings blazed up like tissue paper
lanterns when the guttering candles
touched their sides.
"From this place, |, following the
fire, saw hundreds Of frightcrazed yell
low men fee. In their arms they bore
their opium pipes, their money bags,
their silks and their children. Be-
side them ran the baggyitrousered
women, and some of them hobbled
painfully.
"But these were the men and women
of the surface. Far beneath the street
levels in those collars and passage
ways were other lives Women, who
never saw the day from their darken-
ed prisons, and blinking jailors were
caught like rats in huge trap. Their
very bones were eaten by the flames.
"And now there remain only the
holes. They pit the hillside like a
multitude of ground-swallow nests.
They show depths which the police
never knew. The secrets of those bur-
rows will never be known, for into

vicinity of San Francisco, whether it
belong to the navy, army, revenue
cutter service, fish commission or

to carry supplies of every description

officers of the army on the Pacific
coast and elsewhere have been given
imperative instructions to ship tents.

authorities of San Francisco and the

Offers of assistance from abroad
have been very gratifying to the
president, but he feels the United

Francisco sufferers and contribu-
tions from foreign countries will be
declined.

Roosevelt, after conference with

issued, in the form of proclamation,

The Globe-republican., 1906-04-26

One of the noteworthy features OF
the situation Is the remarkable
promptness with which the work oi
systematically caring for the homeless
has been thoroughly organized and
put into operation. The fear that ex-
listed two days ago that the immense
task of caring for the destitute and
helpless people could not be organized
quick enough to save thousands from
hunger and possible epidemic exists no
longer.
The administration of the city's af-
fairs is progressing most harmonious

ton are working in perfect accord
The total number of bodies recover
ed and buried up to Sunday night is
500. No complete record can be had
at this time as many bodies have been
buried without permits from the COR
oner and the board of health. The
searchers of the coroners and the
hoard Of health departments found
Sunday not more than twenty bodies.
They were buried Immediately.
The Associated Press reports Sunday
covered the entire area of the burned
section. The circumference Of the
great confagration, is as near as
could be ascertained by the markings
Of a cyclometer twenty six miles and
comprises the entire business district
and large section of the residence
district, all of which was densely pop
ulated.
1t was estimated Sunday by compe-

courage and indonitable spirit shown
by its inhabitants during the present
awful emergency.
The care Of the 100000 starving,
homeless refugees now gathered In the
city's public squares and parks is now
the main problem the local authorit-
les have to solve. They must be fed
and bread, meat and drink arc lacking.
All the leading cities throughout the
country are now exerting themselves
to alleviate the sufferings Of the un-
fortunate victims Of the fire, and pro-
visions are now headed for them from
many points.

Washington, D. c., - Every
branch of the government service
from the president down, is bending
every effort to bring to the earth
quake sufferers speedy relief. The
cabinet Friday considered the San

cided that Secretary Metcalf should
proceed to that city as the repre-
sentative Of the national government
and to consult with the authorities
as to what is needed to alleviate dis
