San Francisco Will Arise From Her
Ashes, Phoenix Like, Greater and
Grander Than Ever.
Oakland, Cal., April 21. U:lo A.
M. Fanned by a brisk northwest
s
wind, (he tire, which swept over Tele
graph Hill, towards Fort Mason, lick
. ed up the strip of buildings along the
water front and heiidutk in a semi
circle for the I'nion ferry house. At
daybreak the Henry Machine Works
had been, dynamited and streams of
water from the tugs and vessels in
the bay apparently checked the flames
at Lombard street wharf. Though
the ferry house, the only means of
exit from -San Francisco, seemed sav
ed, the patients in tin- emergency hos
pitals in that neighborhood were
brought over here. The wind has start
ed a few new tires in the section al
ready burned.
Washington 10:21 A. M. (ieneral
Fujiiston wires this morning: The tire
is making no progress west from Van
Xess avenue. A west w ind of consid
erable force is beginning to blow. The
indications are that that part of the
city from Van Xess avenue north to
the bay will be destroyed. Appre
hension is felt for Fort Mason; how
ever, we expect to save it. The weath
er is tine and warm and there is prac
tically no suffering from the cold. It
is imKissible to establish proper san
itary conditions and we expect much
sickness. If the city to the ".Vest now
landing remains intact, a number of
the buildings will be used as hospi
tals. The increased water supply is
encouraging. Expect ten or twelve
million gallons daily.
An earlier dispatch received this
morning at 2:20 states: Friday's
hard and probably successful tight
may save-the western part of the city.
Supplies are arriving'. Admiral Good
rich landed all available men and
placed them under my orders)
New York The San Francisco re
lief fund is apt to reach eight million
dollars. The donations are the most
liberal ever recorded, as the disaster
was the worst.
Oakland Another ghoul was shot
today on Eighth and Market streets.
Two were shot by the citizens' police
in the Richmond district. hTe Jap
anese are making themselves a terror
to the defenseless people of some of
the districts.
Oakland 2 :.'10 P. M. San Fran
cisco's confidence is restored. The
merchants are ordering stocks and
buildings. Every available man is he
inir hired. The ferry house is defin
itely saved. The tires are everywhere
subsiding. The lawless element is
rowed and no epidemic is. likely.
San Francisco 1:2(1 P. M. The
soldier are working with picks and
spades burying hte dead nil over the
city. There is rm waiting for identi
fication as the exigency requires im
mediate interment to prevent jx'sti-
enee.
Oakland 1:26 P. M. All boats
available were pressed into service
this morning tranferirng Sa:i Fran
ciscans ir this side of the buy. Food
is distributed to each boat load on its
arrival, and only the arrival f relief
supplies here today prevented a fam
ine on this side of the bay. The Oak
land papers this morning sent out
thousands of lists of names of the peo
ple from San Francisco, giving their
ictniN.rary abodes. Also a list of
the injured for free distribution thru
the city and in the refugee camps. At
Mayor Schmitz'1 temporary office on
Fillmore' and Hush streets, all camp
registers ate opened. These will be
Ihe means of reuniting hundreds of
families and relieving much mental
worrv.
i nieago l : Jo J . J he nm gov
ernment relief train made 166 miles
at the Grand on Monday
in 161 minutes this morning. It left
Rock Island at i:'M and expects to
reach Oakland on Monday. The sec
ond train passed through Crestlin, 0.,
at il i. in. and a third at 4:'M a. m.
Trains four and live will pi thorugh
today. Each consists of nine ears
and travels with tremendous speed.
Every shipment is accompanied by
men capabk' of distributing it pro
perly. Washington 2:.')0 If. M House
today appropriated another million to
San Francisco.
Washington 1 :2b" 1'. M. Secretary
Taft has asked Roosevelt to request
a second million dollar appropriation
from congress. The president will do
this.
Oakland 1 :40 P. M. A boat with
four hundred tons of food left Stock
ton last night for Frisco. There is
more to be sent by the Santa re to
day. Hundreds of students at Stan
ford University will work under the
direction of the Associated Charities
as carriers of supplies, or in any ca
pacity required. Hundreds of -
pie permed between the fires on Hyde,
Russian and Telegraph Hills, were
taken off by vessels. Funston and
Schmitz have established new quar
ters at Fort Mason. The relief work
is under their direction, and is har
monious' and systematic. Hundreds
of thousands of gallons of milk are
distributed among women, children
and invalids. Small pox cases were
reported this morning in the colonies
of the refugees from Chinatown. Many
of them are virulent cases and left
their beds at the time of the earth
quake, and are abroad spreading the
infection. This may mean another
calamity to this heroic city which is
a haven for fifty thousand victims.
Bulletin San Francisco, 10:00 A.
M. The fire which threatened the fer
ry house is under control, and 'the
building will probably be saved.
Oakland 11:.'10 A. M. Communi
cation has been re-established, and
probably permanently. The officials
believe that all fires are under con
trol, and the thoughts of the people
are concentrated On rebuilding the
city. Already workmen are engaged
in great numbers to clear .away the
debris for reconstruction in the down
town districts. Trains with building
stone are given preference to every
thing but the relief trains. The San
Francisco post office is transferred to
Oakland and the delivery of mail has
begun.
GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Newspaper Man Says No Pen Can
Describe the Scene.
Oakland, Cal., April 20. A news
paper man who crossed the bay this
afternoon gives the following graphic
description of the destruction of San
Francisco;
"San Francisco is a city of ruins.
"There is no pen that can describe
the scene of desolation left in the
wake of the terrible disaster that has
overtaken it. What made San Fran
cisco famous is now nothing but heaps
of smouldering debris. Its magnifi
cent buildings, its markets, its gay arid
hapjjy throngs, are no more. Its in
habitants are fleeing from it as though
from a dread pestilence. The ferries
are taking its thousands at every trip.
The boats running in every direction
are loaded to the water line with flee
ine people.
"East stmt presents a scene the
rout of an army never equalled for its
disorder. Extending along the water
front it is the only means of access
to the f erries. It is the one highway
along which the rich and poor, old nnd
young, with their bedding and world
ly jMisessiotis tied up in every sort of
odd packages, are making their way.
The scene beggars description and the
pen of a Hugo or Tolstoi would be
unequal 4o give an adequate idea
of it.
"And oh, the loss of it! The aw
ful isolation and waste of what men
in this world set great store by. The
loss is untold and the effects will be
far reaching. The insurance companies
are threatened with a loss probably

GOOD THING FOR TULSA
Mr. Berry Makes Splendid Adver
tising Proposition.
J. V. Berry, a worid-wide known
newspaper man, is in the city and
made a projiosition to the Commer
cial Club last night which, if taken
up, will be of incalculable Value to
Tulsa.
Mr. Berry projxises to write a
story of Tulsa and her great re
sources for publication in tho Joplin
( I lobe, a paper w hich possesses a
circulation of 15,000 and in one of
the richest communities in the South
west. The price of a page in the
(ilobc is tl.lO.
Mr. Berry's idea is to write of
Tulsa in a fascinating manner, for
which he is'welll capable, ami make
his production one that will be read
with interest by ever-ybody and
;opied by the papei-s nil over the
country. He will insert a map of the
city and surroundings, showing just
where are located the oil, gas, coal,
stone, etc., and not a line will be
tiresome leading ami yet the whole
will he the most effective advertise
ment Tula has eer had.
The Commercial Club has placed
the matter in the hands of the ad
vertising committee, ami it is to he
hoped that the citizens will also
take hold with a vim and tell to the
people with money living near by
the treat advantages here for the
investment of money.
Mr. Berry wrote the splendid arti
cle on the earthquake in Charlcsto:i
which appeared i" yesterday's issue
of the World under the caption
