HELP FOR FRISCO ARTISTS.
Artists Here Contribute Works to BE Sold
for Their Special Relief.

The artists OF San Francisco will get
help direct from the artists OF this city.
A sale of pictures and other works OF al :
will be held probably on Saturday evening,
the proceeds of which will be sent to San
Francisco Immediately.
The idea originated with Emil Carlson, a
Californian who has a studio at 43 East
Fifty-ninth street. He has been ably as
sisted by Miss Francesca Del Mar. AS a
result Of their efforts a number Of Cali
fornis artists and some Others met in Miss
Del Mars studio at 152 West Fifty-ffth
street yesterday morning. Mr.. Carlson
was made chairman; Gutson Borglum, the
sculptor, treasurer, and Miss Del Mar
secretary.
1t was voted to request each artist in this
city to contribute one of his own works.
MIR. Carlson said he already had promises
of at least fifty works. Mr.. Borglum,
Ernest Peixotto and George Deforest Brush
were made a committee TO send out an
| appeal to artists.
J. Alden Weir, Mr.. Carlson and Mr.. Peix-
otto were appointed to select a gallery and
arrange for the sale, Mark Twain will be
asked to preside. 1t is requested that con-
tributions be sent to Miss Del Mars studio.
Among those who have already promised
to send paintings or sculptures are Angus
tus Saint Gaudens, j. Alden Weir, George
Deforest Brush, Henry G. Dearth, Henry
Ranger, j. Francis Murphy, Mrs. j. Francis
! Murphy, Henry B. Smell, Paul Dougherty,
Seymour Thomas n Clara McChesney.
| Homer Davenport has offered 1000 car
toons to be sold for the San Francisco re-
lief fund. The Californians will ask him
TO contribute these cartoons to their sale.
The money raised at the sale will not go
into the general relief fund, but will be
solely to help out the San Francisco artists,
There was a large art colony In San Fran
cisco and most OF the studios were in the
Latin Quarter on the lowlands, which was
destroyed. Not only have these men and
women lost the products Of their labor but
their market as well.
The committee has selected Arthur
Matthews, the head OF the Mark Hopkins
art school, q trustee Of the fund. He is to
choose two associates. The Mart school
was in the Mark Hopkins Institute, which
was destroyed. 1t is part of the University
Of California.
The Caifornians will meet in Miss Del
Mars studio at 8 o'clock tonight to make
final arrangements for the sale. II q gal
lery can be obtained the sale will be on
Saturday evening.
The sale Of the California artists has no
connection with that announced by James
p. Silo, the auctioneer, in the Fifth Avenue
Galleries. Mrs. Daniel j. Sully has au-
thoriZed Mr.. Silo to remit 2 per cent. Of
the proceeds of the sale of the Sully COL
lection, which begins on May 7, to the relief
fund, Mr.. Silo announces that the sale
he is to conduct will be held as soon as
possible after the SuIly sale is concluded .

FIFTY EAST RELIEF TRAINS.
Union Pacific Gives Them Right OF Way

NhsN -
Over Mall and Limited Trains.
OMAHA, Neb., April 22.-Between Omaha
and San Francisco the Union Pacific to-
day has fifty fast express trains filed with
provisions and supplies for the earthquake
sufferers. The Overland Limited, Pacific
Express and Los Angeles Limited, and
even the fast mail trains, the fastest trains
in the West, are sidetracked at little sta
tons while the long line Of relief trains
rush westward.
These fifty trains are run with ten cars
to a train, and each car is loaded with pro-
visions of some kind. q
Incidentally, the Union Pacific does no
receive one cent for the long haul of 500
cars half way across the continent. Mr..
Hartman has ordered that everything OF a
relief nature be hauled free.
A number of these cars are filled with
packing house products from South Omaha
Orders nave been received by the big
packers from almost every State in the
Union.
Other cars come from various parts OF
the country and are filled with various
stores. Six trains we're turned over to
the Union Pacific by the Burlington at
Denver to-day, to be forwarded to San
Francisco. The first train reached San
Francisco Sunday and one will follow
a lmost hourly.

more famous committee, that OF SO, were
in Pioneer Hall, which is down. There
were a lot Of other valued relics there.
The one single object which Galifornians
will be most sorry to lose was the Bear
Flag" In 1s4s an abortive California re-
public was founded by Americans at So
noma. On the plaza Of that town they
raised a crude flag made by their women
and displaying the figure OF a bear. The
republic lasted only a few months; a little
later, at San Juan Baptista, Fremont nailed
the American flag to a pine tree; but the
raising Of the bear flag was regarded as the
act of American occupation, and the bear
became the State emblem. This flag was
carefully kept and was brought out only
on great occasions. There Is a dim hope
that the vaults In which it vas locked pre-
served 1t.

An old business block at Montgomery
and California had been down and up be-
fore. In the early days, when they got
ready to make the city permanent, they
found that there was no building stone
TO be had. They solved 1t by bringing
from Southern China shiploads Of granite,
The first order, "stone enough for a three
story building was a puzzle for the
Chinese. To he sure that they had the
order filed right, they built in China a stone
building Of the dimensions mentioned in
the specifications, took it down,and shipped
IL across the Pacific, This used to hold
the Adams Express Company. In the
early days a lot Of powder blew up in the
basement. 1t did many things to the
surrounding buildings, but never disturbed
the structure Of the Chinese stone cutters.
The Mantle Building, at Clay and San
some, was named after a vessel that was
wrecked there when the water came up
to that point. Sheds were built over it,
and the decks Of the Mantle became the
floor of a store. When they tore the sheds
down they took away most OF the w~reckage,
but left the foremost of the Mantle, which
BECAME a part Of a new building. So went
