RICH AND POOR
DINE TOGETHER
BY Associate ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-Every
person left in San Francisco breakfast
ed this morning on food cooked In the
open streets, no fires being allowed in
the houses.
A few bricks or stones gathered into
semblance of a furnace with a few
dry sticks beneath cans or kettles was
the improvised kitchen in which the
food of the millionaires as well as the
humblest workmen was prepared
All through the fine residence section
of Pacific Heights people sat on the
sidewalks and took their black coffee,
dry bread, crackers and in some cases
eggs and bacon.
In the parks and along the north
beach, or wherever people were camped
the relief stations handed out food suffi-
cient to relieve the situation. There
were probably very few persons who
did not receive some sort of food this
morning.
The grave question to be met today
is the sanitary situation. The ferry
station is still open and is not thought
to be in any danger from the fire more
than half mile north of it

FORT BRAGG ALL
BUT WIPED OUT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERKELEY, April 21.-A private
letter received today by Postmaster
George Schmidt brings the information
that Fort Bragg, one of the principal
numbering towns of Mendocino county,
was almost totally destroyed as the re-
suit of a fire following the earthquake
of last Wednesday morning.
The bank and other brick buildings
were leveled as result of the tenn
blors. when few hours fire had COM
pleted the work OF devastation.
But one person of the 5000 inhab-
itants was killed, but scores were in
jured.
Eureka, another large town in the
same county, fifty miles from Fort
Bragg. was practically undamaged, al
though the quake was distinctly felt
there.
Relief expeditions were at once sent
to Fort Bragg from surrounding towns
and villages and the people Of the
ruined area are being cared for.

today, at which were present many of
the representative physicians, and
measures were taken for an immediate
and thorough inspection of the entire
city by physicians.
For this emergency the board of
health has called for 500 volunteer
physicians.
There is, of course, considerable sick
ness among the thousands who have
been exposed and who have suffered
the hardships resulting from the de-
struction of the city, but it is not be-
lieved that there will be any serious
epidemic of any sort.
The people of San Francisco and par
ticularly the men of large affairs are
thinking only of the future. There is
a spirit of resignation among ali classes
and a determination on the part of
those who have suffered the most from
the great fire to rebuild.
In fact, rebuild is the watchword
everywhere.

BUILDINGS BEGIN
TO CAUSE DANGER
BY FALLING DOWN

The walls of several of the ruined
buildings in the downtown section of
the city collapsed today but so far as
can be learned no one was injured by
the falling stone, brick and steel. The
tower on the Hall of Justice on Kearny
street retains it's upright position de-
spite the fact that but one small cor
ner of the structure bears the immense
weight of steel and granite. Several
walls are in such imminent danger
of topplng over that it is believed
they will be either blasted or torn
down.
On Golden Gate avenue today one
of the side walls of the Mercantile Ii
brary building fell across Golden Gate
avenue during one of the busiest peri
ods of the day, but a grinding noise
before the wall fell into the street
warned pedestrians of the approach of
the collapse.

OAKLAND CROWDED
TO OVERLOOKING
WITH THE REFUGEES
By Associated Press.

OAKLAND, April 21.-Despite the
fact that nearly all the churches, skat-
ing pavilions and large halls of the
city have been converted into tenn
porary lodging places, there will not
be room enough tonight to accommo-
date all the people who have surged
into Oakland.
The effort to maintain ordinary sani-
tation at the congested places is a
serious task and all the medical men
of the city are engaged in taking i'm
mediate charge of the refugees who
become ill.,
Employment bureaus have been has
tily established and able-bodied men
who are willing to work on railroads
and other large construction schemes
in various parts of California and
Nevada are furnished with free trans
portation to the scene of labor.
1t is believed that many men will be
provided with work within the next
few days. and that the present conges-
tion will not last.

Merchants
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-Ho-
mer S. King, president of the San
Francisco clearing house, said today:
San Francisco has a future and
will rebuild. This is beyond any
doubt. This is not even panic and
have seen more than one panic.
1T is only a setback from which
the city is strong and vigorous enough
to recover. l do not believe any of the
bankers consider this disaster any
thing more than serious wound that
will heal quickly and cleanly.
City Will Recover
"The banks are more than willing
to help the people who have shared
in the common distress. Chicago and
Baltimore recovered from even great
er setbacks. The people of San Fran
cisco have always been progressive
and are recognized as hard workers
There is no reason why they should
not do the same.
1.-The bankers will help to rebuild the
city. We are absolutely satisfied and
assured as to our own standing.
Most of the money that is put into
circulation will be directed into cham
nels where it will be most effective In
the establishment of business in
terests.
You may state that the poor people
and the wage earners who have suf-
fered loss by fire should not be need
lessly alarmed. There will be no
pressure for payment on the part of
the banks. We will wait.
I'VE expect to cooperate in every
respect with the people who must
huild the new San Francisco"

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 21.-There
appears to be considerable confusion
ana conflict of orders between the mil
ltary and civil authorities TODAY.
MANY rumors are that summary exc
Gutlons OF men caught in the act of
lootlng last night We're afloat TODAY hnt
with single exception could not he

Inc only case of shooting positively
known this morning is that of for,
elgner who was ordered to chop down
some trees by a soldier Not under
standing English the foreigner started
10 walk away and was shot through
the BODY and dangerously wounded.
Two Reported Hanged
There are persistent reports of the
hanging of two men in Jefferson Souara
last night but not even the noIics
could verify this because no inciividuaI
officer had made regular report to
the chief this morning. 1t is also re-
ported that two Japanese were shot ana
killed by soldiers in the western addi.
ton and that there was considerable
thievery in the residence section LAST
night.
Military Rule Expected
1t is very probable that there will be
al ShOit lidue 10 Drllg about COM
plete cooperation between the military
and the civil authorities today. Al
present each is acting independently
of the other and there is necessarily
confusion.
1t is very likely that the general
committee or some member of that
committee will appeal directly TO Pres
ident Roosevelt to proclaim absolute
military rule, placing the entire situ-
alton in the hands of the federal an.
thorities, which it is believed would
simplify matters and obviate all con-
fusion of order.
There is very little water in the
unburned section of the city today
but it is promised by the water com
pany that all that section lying west
of Van Ness avenue will have connec-
ton with the water mains before even
ing.
Water Kept in 5athtubs
About the only water to be had in
the residence section today is that
which has been conserved by the
thoughtful householders, who have
filed bath tubs and every other means.
The bankers of San Francisco viii
hold meeting today at the residence
of j. II. Martin at 2040 Broadway to
consider the best course to pursue To
open the vaults of the burned institu-
tions and to relieve the financial stu
alton.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-General
Funston has had 160 men arrested under
civil processes.
Many of them are charged with
felonious offenses and were taken into
custody by soldiers.
Owing to the fact that there was
no commitment for them they could
not be received at San Quentin. After
consultation with Governor Pardee the
entire body has been distributed among
the city and county jails OF Alameda
and neighboring counties.
Cadets to Be Recalled
Chief of Police Dinan has request ed
through Mayor Schmitz that General
Funston recall the university cadets
of Berkeley who have been doing patrol
duty.
Many of the cadets are mere boys
and complaints are constantly coming
in that they are handling their guns
in a reckless manner and holding up
people without any regard for passes.
Arrangements have been made to re-
move the carcasses of animals that are
strewn about the city and the health
officers expect to have the burned part
of the city clear of these by tomorrow.
Only two dangerously insane people
