SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Had it
not been for the sight of the rude
affairs set up in the open air wherever
San Francisco's homeless thousands
were camped, one would have had some
difficulty in finding any of the peace
full associations of the Sabbath In this
city today.
Everywhere throughout the burned
as we'll as the remaining section Of
the city, there was the greatest activ-
ity.
Streets were being cleared of debris,
1aborers were repairing broken water
pipes, sewers and gas mains; electri-
clans were everywhere seeking to un-
tangle the almost hopeless confusion of
wires-in fact, San Francisco was in
The first stages of it's regeneration.
There are no hungry people here to-
night the gaunt specter of starvation
has been banished by the magnificent
response of the people of California
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 last night and to-
day in sufficient quantities to over
whelm the committee which has in
charge its distribution.
So great was the volume of food
pbulLS -DlOuShL llilO LLe BGIlGIdl QepOL
at Oakland Mole that the general COM
mittee today made an appeal for skilled
labor in the handling of these supplies.
Grocers, butchers and commission
men have been requested to secure
men who are familiar in the handling
of foodstuffs in order that the confu-
sion attendant upon the distribution
at the stations established might be
eliminated.
Oranges Hailed With Joy
The homeless people are no longer
obliged to subsist upon bread and
canned stuff entirely, as they had been
during the previous days of their try
ing experience, but were today given
hot coffee, canned meats and even
cakes and oranges. Oranges have
come in in plentiful supply from
Southern California and the sight OF
California's famous product was every
where hailed with words of delight.
1t must not be understood by the
charitable people of the country that
there is a surfeit of food for the suffer-
ers. While the supply is abundant at
this writing, it 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, therefore, that contribu-
tions be continued everywhere until

MORE THAN $4,000 TO COME
Hordes of Refugees to Pour Into Los
Angeles, Says c. D. Willard
of the Municipal LEAGUE

c. D. Willard. secretary of the muni-
cipal league, returned from San Fran
cisco last night. He was in Salinas
when the shock occurred and said that
he experienced a sensation that he will
never forget.
1.-THE reports of the disaster" said
Mr.. Willard last night, ARE not ex-
aggerated in the least. The list of dead
will probably run from one thousand to
five thousand but l think that it will
reach the latter figure.
Los Angeles can receive a valuable
lesson from the experience that San
Francisco has had. 1t should teach us
the value of steel in the construction
of buildings. Buildings of steel con
struction withstood both the fire and
the earthquake to greater extent than
any others.
There are twenty-five thousand peo-
pie who are coming to Los Angeles.
They are trying to get out of Oakland
as soon as possible"

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-Wed-
dings in great number have resulted
from the recent disaster. a7r3
Women driven out of their homes and
left destitute have appealed to the men
to whom they were engaged. and i'm
mediately marriages have been effected.
Since the first day of the disaster
an increase in the number of marriage
licenses issued was noticed by County
Clerk Cook. This increase is getting
greater.
Yesterday morning seven marriage
licenses were issued in an hour. Cook
himself has been on duty much of the
time, as has his deputy, Paul Wuthe,
although no other business has been
transacted.
"I don't live anywhere" is the
answer given in many cases when the
applicant for license is asked where
his residence is. 81 used to live in San
Francisco"

By Associated Press.


FRESNO, April &C. ]. Lindgren of
the San Francisco Fresno contracting
firm of Lindgren-H Hicks company re-
turned last evening from San Francisco
with definite news that the disaster is
to have no deterrent effect upon con-
templated skyscrapers for San Francis
co and that many of the great build-
ings reported destroyed can be reha-
bilitated, some at no great expense.
Lindgren- Hicks company had the
contract for the Humboldt bank build
ing on Market streets, between Third
and Fourth streets. The plans call for
an eighteen-story structure to overlook
the Call building. Lindgren yesterday
called upon the president and the
cashier and asked what they proposed
to do in view of the crushing disaster.
Follow Original Plans
Build the building according to the
original plans without single change"
said the president. "only rush 1t as
fast as it is possible. In the mean
time put us up a temporary structure
on Third street."
Herbert Law is going right ahead
with the repair of the Fairmont hotel.
Lindgren examined the ruins yesterday
and said that it would be necessary
to rebuild the first two stories. The
Lindgren- Hicks company have also
contract for building a $500,000 annex
to the FairTnont, containing the largest
theater in San Francisco.
Lindgren did not discuss this with
Law, but says he has no doubt that
the work will go right ahead. In fact,
says Lindgren, there is the more like
lihood of it's being rebuilt now that all
the theaters in San Francisco have

use the magnificent hostelry as a
boarding camp for his crew of men.
Permits Issued by Governor
Lindgren obtained a permit from
Governor Pardee and Mayor Schmitz
yesterday to make an examination of
some of the principal buildings still
standing and the result of his inspec-
ton is reassuring.
He says the Haywards building at
the corner of Montgomery and Cali
fornia street is only slightly damaged
and can be repaired at small cost from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The Merchants Exchange, while
badly gutted, can be repaired at an
expenditure of from 100000 to 100000.
The building cost $4,000 900. The front
of the Rialto building will stand, but
the rear was dynamited. ~
Many Withstand Shock
Other buildings in the burnt district
that have withstood the ravages of the
flames to admit of rebuilding are: the
James Flood, the Union Trust, the New
Chronicle, the Call: the Mutual Saw
ings bank, the Crocker-W Woolworth and
the st. Francis hotel.
Buildings that are practically un-
damaged are the new postoffice, which
was reported in ruins, the mint and the
old custom house.
Lindgren has volunteered to clear
way through Market street for traffic.
He obtained permission from the mayor
and chief of police to do this work
and will start gang to work Monday.

In the case of San Francisco an

Santa Rosa has suffered the greatest
disaster in her history, but the in

as usual on Monday morning, the build

to be safe.

CON CRESS GIVES
S1,500,00O MORE
NO DELAY IN FURNISHING SUP
PLIES
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to congress "a
message, accompanying documents
and papers from the war department,
recommending the appropriation of an
additional 100000 for the relief of the
sufferers by the calamity at San Fran
cisco.
The president conferred with Secre-
tary Taft, with Senator Allison, chair
man of the senate committee on appro-
priations, and with other senators and
representatives about the need of fur
ther aid for the residents of the stricken
city, and decision was reached that
congress should be requested to appro-
pirate the additional $1,5OO,00O.
Assurances were given by the mem
bers of congress that the appropriation
would be made.
Presidents Message
Following is the text OF the presi-
dents message:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
II submit herewith a letter of the
secretary of war with accompanying
documents, including a form of resolu-
ton suggested for passage by the con-
gress. e
This letter refers to the appalling
catastrophe which has befallen San
Francisco and neighboring cities, a
catastrophe more appalling than any
other of the kind that has befallen any
portion of our country during its his
tory.
II am sure that there is need on my
part of no more than suggestion to
the congress in order that this resolu-
tion may be at once passed.
But 1 urge that instead of appro-
priating further sum of $1,000,000, as
raised by the secretary of war, the ap-
preparation be for $1,500,000. The sup
plies already delivered or en- route for
San Francisco approximate in value
81, ,5000 900, which is more than we have
the authority in law as yet to purchase.
"I do not think 1t safe for us to
reckon upon the need of spending less
than $1,O0O0O0 in addition. Large sums
are being raised by private subscrip-
tions in this country, and very gener-
Gus offers have been made to assist us
by individuals of other countries, which
offers, however. 1 have refused, as in
my judgment there is no need of any
assistance from outside our own
borders"

Regulars Are Reliable
The soldiers of the regular army are
doing splendid work. but the beardless

mittee Saturday and talked with Gavin
McNab and Mayor Schmitz.
These men, with General Funston,
have saved the city. They have risen
to every emergency and the people
have complete confidence in them.

people seem to give no time to thought
