Alas, Poor Lad
Had no Money and
Couldn't Wed

Some weeks ago we published an
article saying that young man who
for year, had made his home in this
valley had rescued certain Reno
belle from burning building at the
San Francisco disaster We further
stated that this deed had kindled a
flame of love in the breasts of the
young couple which was soon To be
eliminated by a wedding.
Now our readers are asking why ocT
prophecy was not realized. Through
letters received from the young man
we have learned that his intentions
were good but by reason of the fact
that his entire earnings. eathel ed in
two years. were deposited in one of
'Fiscos banks and were lost. the
young man was pus in position, I'M.
able to venture along matrim onial
lines. On the Immediate days after
the fire he thought that his bank role
was safe and it was only lately that he
received word from the bankers say
ing that the record of his deposit was
lost and as the young man kept his
bank book in a trunk which was also
burned. the situation became en-
barassing.
Ths young maiden, however, in
whose breast the yearning for his love
seemed only to be temporary vowed
her intentions of not waiting until he
made another stake and has given
her heart into the keeping of another
youth. while the former Carson valley
lad, after all. feels that he is the win
ner and says that it is worth more
than his lost pile to escape matrimon.
ial relations with girl that has pro =
en- false.

RELIEF FUND NEARS
TEN MILLION MARK
Money Pours in From Every City and
Village in the Country-ContTibu-

NEW YORK, April 21--It is estimated
today that the relief fund for the bene-
At of stricken San Francisco will reach
the ten-million mark before noon on
Monday.
From every city, town. and village IN
the entire United states has come a
response which eclipses any other ef-
fort in the history Of this most gener-
Gus nation. So large have been the
contributions, that II will be many days
before a detailed list can be made Id.

ASTOR'S DONATION
WILL GO BEGGING
Government Accepts No
Gifts for Frisco From
Foreigners.

While contributions for relief Of II
San Francisco sufferers are being
eagerly accepted by the Red Cross from
persons all over the country. no matter
their station or whether the sum In cash
be in the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars or only cents. the contribution of
100000 offered by William Waldorf As
to- seems destined TO go begging for
some one 20 accept It.
This situation arises through the fact
that Mr.. Astor. having renounced his
country and his citizenship, is no longer
an American. and the State Department.
on the suggestion OF the President, has
announced that no foreign contributions
will be accepted.
This munihcent contribution, which
has been reported from London snd New
York. has not yet reached either the
Red Cross Society or the State Depart
ment. and It Is unlikely that either
would accept it should IT be offered.
That Editorial.
The offer is put in a particularly un-
favorable light in the eyes OF the Gov
eminent and Red Cross officials who
have 10 do with receiving contributions.
through the publication Of en editorial
in the Pail Mall Gazette. in which 1t
was stated that such calamities as that
at San Francisco only visit nations OF
a degenerate character. Mr. Astor Is
accredited with owning the controlling
interest in the Gazette. and is even said
to write many Of its editorials treating
American affairs.
When announcement of the contribu-
ton was made yesterday the spirit of
the editorial, as well as the act OF Mr..
Astor in renouncing his country, imme-
diately flashed into the minds Of the
officials.
Il Is understood that steps already
have been taken BY Mr.. Astor's agents
in New York 70 point out TO the relief
officials that the editorial in question
was printed without his knowledge, and
IA this way * was hoped that amends
might be made. II can be said on au-
thority that these explanations are not
likely to alter the situation IN the least.
for as two notable contributions al
ready have been declined on the ground
that they were offered by foreigners.
no exceptions will be made.
II is pointed out that Mr.. Asior might
make his contribution directly 20 the
mayor Of San Francisco or governor OF
California. but the understanding is that
all contributions. no matter whore sent
eventually will be turned over to the
Red Cross and army officials in Sar
Francisco for use.
Many contributions by Americans Gl-
ready have been made by draft TO TIE
governor and mayor. and they IN turr
have expressed their intention Of turning
them over 10 the Red Cross headquar-
ters IN washington, as money is now as
worthless in San Francisco as gold ii

UNDERWRITERS PREDICTED
GREAT SAN FRANCISCO FIRE

CLEVELAND. April 21.-The ma
tional board Of underwriters warned
the people Of San Francisco last fall
that the city was in danger Of being
wiped out
Among the fire insurance men now
in Cleveland are the members of the
committee of twenty Of the national
board Of underwriters. For the last
two months this committee has been
at work in Cleveland studying fire con-
ditiOnS. Last October they spent two
months in San Francisco studying con-
ditions- After speaking Of bad fire
conditions IN San Francisco the report
says.
In fact. San Francisco has violated
all underwriting traditions and prece-
dent by not burning up. That il has
not done so Is largely due to the vigil
ance Of the fire department. which can
not be relied upon indefinitely TO stave
off the inevitable"
