He believed that when that statement was issued the President was acting in accord with misinformation as to the conditions, or maybe the fact that the speaker, while en route here, wired to Washington for information relative to how the relief consignments were centralized may have been inter- preted by the President to mean that there was lack of centralization in the reception and using of the contribu- ticns. Devine, “that the President simply in- tended to facilitate the relief work by centralizing the handling of the funds, and now, after seeing what you gen- tiemen have done and are doing, I shall be most happy to inform him that the work is admirably managed and rec- ommend that i{ts management remain | undisturbed.” FPHELAN AGREES WITH DEVINE Mr. Phelan shared Dr. Devine opinion s to the President’s misun- | Cerstanding of the situation and the | intention of his statement. “I may state,” the former Mayor added, “that last evening the Mayor and the com- mittee of fifty informally discussed the advisability of turning the entire mat- ter of providing rellef over to the Fed- eral authorities, so that we can begin doing our share of rebuflding the city.” Mayor Schmitz spoke in similar strain. “The people of San Francisco,” said the Mayor, “know the President | of the United States too well to .ancy for a moment that he would do any- thing to cast reflection upon the integ- y of the gentlemen comprising the mittee of fifty, many of whom are his personal friends.

Cheers were given at the meeting of the general committee yesterday when James D. Phelan announced that John D. Spreckels had contributed $25,000 to the relief fund. The transportation committes is sadly in need of horses, wagons and teams of all descriptions. Complaint is constantly seizing these teams, thus putting the work of the committee at & standstill in many dis- tricts. All owners of horses and wagons are urgently requested to communicate with J. W. Raphael, chairman of the transportation committee. A representative of the Los Angeles Chember of Commerce was present at the meeting of the general committee and he stated that Los Angeles would continue to send supplies as long as they were needed. A telegram weas also received from Governor Curtis Guild of Massachu- setts saying that Massachusetts had subscribed $260,000 and had sent enor- mous supplies, and that they were pre- pared to continue to do so until every one was satisfied. The reading of the telegram was followed by great ap- plause. The Stockton relief committee offers to supply everything and care for a thousand people at Sanitary Rest Camp in Stockton Oak Grove, which is con- veniently located, and asks that fam- ilies, particularly women and children, be sent there. They request those coming to bring as much bedding as possible. OTHER MAYORS OFFER AID. Mayor Schmitz today received the following téfegram from D. D.
