Hundreds of Refugees.

Denver.-The second floor at the
west end of the Union depot was an
active scene all day Wednesday. C. H.
Reynolds, who is in charge of the relief
work, and his efficient helpers, worked
steadily. Monday night 220 people ar
rived at 1890 on the Rio Grande rail
road. A committee met them and they
were escorted to the various hotels in
the neighborhood, where arrangements
had been made for their keep. We'd
nesday these people reported back and
were fed and cared for. Some went
out on their journeys early in the
morning and some were compelled to
remain here until evening. Many re-
ceived as high as three meals
At 1880 Wednesday evening sew
enty-five people came in on the
Union Pacific from Cheyenne. These
were fed and most of them con-

These were fed and most of them con-

San Francisco.-What to do with
the immense amount of money that has
been contributed to the relief of San
Francisco's homeless was the question
that received earnest consideration by
all those now engaged in this all-lm-
portant work. So many inquiries had
come to the heads of the various de-
partments, civil and military, all ask
ing how and by whom the money SO
generously contributed would be eX-
pended, that the Associe ted Press was
asked to communicate TO the country
at large the plan for d;sbursing those
funds, and the assurance that every
dollar would be put to the use for
which it was intended.
All expenditures will be authorized
by the finance committee of the clti-
zens and Red Cross funds. The men,
bers of this committee are representa-
tive bankers. business men and jurists
of San Francisco, and DR.. Devine of the
National Red Cross Society. This
committee will audit all accounts and
make a detailed report to the War De-
partment, where a final audit and state
ment will be made.
At noon Thursday the distribution OF
food to the city of San Francisco was
formally turned over TO the United
States army. which will act under the
system already described Under this
system many of the abuses that have
prevailed in the giving out of supplies
by the various local and outside relief
organizations, each of which has acted
independently of all others, will be dis
continued and the direction of all the
stations will be centralized in the de
pot of the quartermaster of the army
al this post under Major Duval.
The reports from the leading hos
pitfalls at the Preside and at Colder
Gate park to-day showed that the
number of patients is less than yester
day. At the general hospital in the
Presidio there were $50 patients Thurs
day, which is 200 less than the day be
fore. The decrease is probably due
to the fact that the privi-
lege of free transportation ovel
the railroads of any part of tho
any part of the state expired at noon
Thursday, and many of the patients
who were suffering from minor in
juries and complaints left the hos
pitfalls ir time to take advantage Of the
generosity of the railroads.
There are now thirty hospitals in
use, all of the smaller institutions es.

CONDITIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO
NOW RAPIDLY IMPROVING

San Francisco.-At 3:15 o'clock this
"wednesday afternoon a shock of
earthquake was felt. 1t lasted nearly
n minute and caused considerable
alarm and caused the death of one
woman. A number of walls of burned
buildings which were still standing in
weak condition were thrown down
and frail buildings were considerably
shaken, but the damage done was
slight. The shock was also felt in Oak
land and Berkeley, but in these places
The Colorado statesman., 1906-04-28

It was slight and of brief duration.
The earthquake caused the death of
Mrs. Annie Whitaker, aged twenty-five
years. Mrs. Whitaker was at work
in the kitchen OF her home on
Shotwell street, in the Mission district,
when the shock came. The chimney,
which had been left in tottering con
djtion by the heavy quake last Wednes
day crashed through the roof upon the
young woman and fractured her skull
Street cars are promised for to-mor-
row morning and electric lights will be
turned on tomorrow evening.
This was day of optimistic reports
from all sides. Conditions improv-
ing" was the happy expression from
those who have had charge of the self
imposed duties of caring for their less
fortunate fellow townsmen during the
last few days. In fact, now that the
most important duty will hereafter be
performed by the United States army,
that of distributing the food and sup
plies which have been donated most Law
ishly by the people, the citizens of San
Francisco have turned their attention
to the details of the reconstruction of
their business.
There was resumption of business to
an astonishing extent to-day, consider
ing the conditions throughout the resi-
dent section. Retail stores were
instructed to reopen and the municipal
goversment has established a scale
of prices for the most important com
modities, food, clothing, etc, which is
even below that existing under normal
conditions. Warning was given retail
ers that any effort on their part to
charge eXorbitant prices would result
in summary action by the authorities.

is taking over the work of succoring
the homeless and foodless thousands
of San Francisco and tomorrow the
Representatives of the army will have
charge OF the gigantic task of issuing
food to all those who still remain in
the city.
This development resulted from the
meeting of the executive committee to-
day and the work will be turned over
to the quartermaster of this depart
ment, who will establish a complete
system of issuing rations at all of the
fifty-eight stations throughout the city.
The lack of anything like an cpl
demic of disease since the disaster
that overlook San Francisco has sur
prised even the medical men. Every
where sanitary conditions are most sat
isfactory Probably there has been less
sickness at the Preside camp than any
of the others, and this may be. attrib-
uted to the fact that the people there
have been sheltered, fed and directed
by the army officers.
The water problem is still serious
one. 1t was decided to-day that still
further restrictions should be put upon
the use of the water now available
Hereafter and until the system has
been entirely inspected and repaired
there is to be but one water tap for
each block throughout the city.

in Chicago, to come Immediately to
