W. R. Hume Returns From the
Earthquake Distri.t.
RELIEF SUPPLIES WASTED
Mr.. Hume Says Many Carloads Of Sup
plies Were Allowed to Spoil In
Yards--No System at
First.

". X. Hume bas returned from Oak
| land and San Francisco where he went
Immediately after the earthquake. He
states that his family which resides in
Oakland escaped all harm, and asids
from the fatigue attendant upon the ex'
citcIneni, are we'll.
Mr.. Hume upon his arrival, was de-
tailed by Mayor Mott and Governor
pardee, whom he knows personally, to
net ~ sort Of intermediary between
General Funston in charge Of the army.
and the civil authorities, In regard to
arranging a scheme whereby the dis
tribution Of supplies might be adjusted
and carried on In mutually satisfac.
tory manner
Il have worked hard during my stay
in the city" said Nr. Hume, "bnt be-
fore I left had the satisfaction Of seeing
the matter Of the food distribution, put
on systematic working basis. The
first week after the catastrophe, when
the carloads Of supplies began pouring
, into Oakland there was no sort OF sys-
tenn t1 the distribution Of the food. The
waste was terrible, and the grating
which was employed in many cases was
worse than the waste.
"a great many Of the carloads Of per.
ishable food simply spoiled in the yards,
where they were left for days. Other
cars were rihed, and for time il seem.
ed that no order could be brought out
Of the chaos that existed. The relief
committees were unable to cope with
the situation, but now that the army
has charge things are becoming better
and most OF the graft Is being cut out.
Continuing Mr.. Hume stated that the
ruin and desolation in San Francisco,
are utterly beyond the comprehension
Of one who has not seen it, at is to-
tally impossible to adequately describe
what destruction the fire and quake have
wrought. The entire business section
OF the great city, is in ashes; the bro.
ken and blackened skeletons of those
immense steel structures which formerly
graced the city, loom up against the
sky. in grim mocItry of mans efforts
to defy the flames. The mammoth
steel girders, are warped and twisted
BY the blasting heat which overcame
them. and many OF the supposedly fire.
proof g,lildings will have to be torn
down.
"0flicial figures which have been pre-
pared show that in San Francisco the
burned district includes an area of l6
square miles, or 3,070 blocks. Sixty
thousand buildings were burned in this
district, and the property loss will am
cunt to S4000O0,000 OF which about
S200,000,000 is covered by insurance"
