Enormous Crowd at Bernhardt BENEFIT
Performance in Chicago.
Eugene Duval, assistant general western
agent of the Milwaukee has returned from
Chicago, where he says the interest in the
San Francisco sufferers is just as keen as
it is in Omaha and other points along the
line of the transcontinental roads, where
the people are being fed.
II never saw such crowd OF people
in one place in my Hfe as turned out to
the Sarah Bernhard performance, when
was given for the benefit of the relief
funds in Chicago" said Mr.. Duval. THE
performance was given in a huge tent on
the lake front, and I think over 1900
people must have tried to get into that
tent, which seemed to be nearly a block
long, and which the people nearly tore
down in their efforts to spend their money
for the benefit of the sufferers"

SuppIIea Stolen.

The alleged systematic theft OF several
tons OF Red Cross supplies has been dis
closed by the arrest of Arthur Jacobs
yesterday by Police Commissioner OGrady
and Detective Mathewson. Jacobs is said
to have made a confession duplicating
several cOnfederates and revealed the place
where he had hidden the loot. Jacobs is a
teamster who volunteered his services to
haul supplies from the water front TO the
various relief depOts. His offer was ac-
eepted and 1t was while hauling Red Cross
supplies that he Is alleged to have done
the looting during the FIRST few days Of
the relief. when II was not organized as
Il IL nov. Under the present system Of
handling supplies this would be practically
impossible. About two tons OF the stola
goods have been recovered and it is 81

Household Emects burned.

The knowledge that has come to the
people of the possibility of saving house,
hold effects through burial under lorna
does was put to good use during the big
fire. The back yards of Russian hill
residents were freely used as burial
ground for all kinds of household goods,
even costly vases, silverware and brio
abrao being placed in holes dug for this
purpose.
The chief clerk of the International
hotel, who lived in house on the corner
of Calico and Leavenworth streets, saved
the larger part Of the furniture of two
floors in this way. Digging into the slop-
ing bank at the rear Of his residence a
hole was made ten feet square, and into
this was placed trunks, bedding and
household effects. The building was com
pletely swept away and yet when the
goods were dug up the mattresses and
similar infiamable belongings were free
from the smell Of fire. A foot of earth
over the buried goods proved ample pro-
lection for the most destructible goods
and many dollars worth of family pos
sessions were saved in this manner.

paratively few tents have been issued TO
those camped there, but the ground is high
and the drainage good. Where the rain
pentrated the mprovised tents of blan-
kets, quilts and other like material, the
soldiers took the women and children into
the houses in the vicinity. In many in
stances they gave up their own tents TO
shelter the suffering. Many tents have been
provided at Jefferson square since the last
rain, where several thousand are camped
few who were not adequately sheltered
were taken into the large automobile
garages in the vicinity and to the Lutheran
church. In several instances people in
houses refused to admit women and chill
dren in distress from the cold and rain
and the militia unceremoniously broke
down the doors with the butts of their
rifles.
Several thousand tents are enroute here
and 1t is expected that within a few days
fully 10000 refugees will be comfortably
housed.
over one hundred and fifty stores were
opened for business yesterday. but before
night numerous complaints were received

prohibtive figures.
