ALL FOOD COOKED
IN THE OPEN STREETS;
co ANL, q a NIrrA IlN 1NIrlcA.. -


Every person left in San Francis o
breakfasted this morning on food cooked
in the open streets, no fires being al
lowed in the houses. A few bricks or
stones gathered into a semb.ance of a
furnace with few dry sticks teneath
cans or kettles was the imT revised
kitchen in which the food of the Million
aire as wen .as the -humblest workman
was prepared.
All through the fine residences section
of Pacific Heights peop sat on the side
walks and took their black coffee, dry
bread. crackers and, in some cases, eggs
and bacon
In the parks and along North Bea.h h
or wherever people were camp the e-
lief stations handed out food suffici mt
to relieve the situation.
There were probably very few per-
sons who did not receive some sort of
fo5d this morning. The grave question
to be met today is the sanitary situa-
tion.

Nicon vice president of the Demo-
cratic national committee, in a sensa-
tional speech last night at the Demo-

Bryan Among other things he said:
When I recall the treacherous rec
ord of this man Hearst I am COM
PEELED to contrast it with the honor
able record of William J. Bryan. I
know a true Democrat from a false
one. NJ. Bryan did his best with his
great eioquence and the power OF his
great personality after he was defeat
ed IN the convention to elect the can
didate OF his party.
HE could not control all his
friends. and we knew when he went
on the stump that he would not be
able to control them, but he did not
sneak into our headquarters with
promises of fealty to our common
cause and take our money and put out
his banner under our banner, and then
inspire his emissaries to stab the
party's candidates IN the back"
