General Funston Man of the
Hour in Ruined San Francisco
Proving Himself Equal to
Unprecedented Task
Suddenly Thrust
Upon Him.

OAKLAND. Cal, April zL-Almost
universal praise is expressed for Gen.
Frederick Funston and Mrs. Funston.
General and Mrs Funston have been
working twenty hours a day, and some
days they have gone without sleep or
rest General Funston jumped into the
breach as soon as anyone realized that
help was needed, and that disorders
might follow the calamity OF earthquake
and fire. First cooperating with the
mayor. he ordered 4,OOO soldiers at the
preside TO patrol the streets. When
martial law was declared, he assumed
active command, and has since been the
sole director of the situation. He
requistioned all the available explosives,
when IL was seen the fire department
was helpless. ana started to blow no
buildings. When il was realized the
whole city would be destroyed. he set
about the relief. Without waiting to
hear from Washington he ordered army
provisions. and fed the hungry
He issued an order TO shoot any per
criminals have been killed by the sol
diers.
There has never been one moment OF
excitement with General Funston. Doing
many things at the same time he has
planned the sanitation of the camp of
the refugees: he answered scores Of
messages on every conceivable matter
from every quarter OF the globe; he has
directed the military wiring OF the ruins
and of the vicinity so that he might
keep in instant telegraphic communica-
ton with every phase OF the situation
He ordered many soldiers Older in the
service than himself-and so far as any
one here can see, he has not made one
mistake.
General Funston had no precedent 20
follow, as the situation was new, and
he had to use solely his own judgment.
The people of San Francisco, admiring
the heroic work Of General Funston. will
undoubtedly memorable Congress IN his
behalf.
