BAN FRANCISCO, April 27.—Har-/ mony and pledges of good feeling merked the méetings today of the various bodies of citizens, committees and representatives of the army, which are administering the affairs of San Franciseo. The last sign of con- on and misunderstanding which at es existed have disappeared, and the first signs of the return to normal conditions were the resumption of street car traffic ln certaln sections, and the taking out of the first permit for a modern steel structure upon the REDCROSS WOUL First Permit for a ~ Steel Building.

The decision to continue the life of the organization was reached yesterday by the Club directors at the home of President William Greer Har- rison. Until building is begun, ‘the members need not pay dues. Those able to give financial mid are requested to send checks to the President. The new building will be of ex- panded steel and terra cotta with a basement of reinforced concrete. The insurance of $240,000 on the old build- ing will be sufficient to pay for the new strueture. Temporary quarters of the Club are located at Octavia and Sutter streets in the basement of the Soon Chinatown, its inhabitants have been living in tents and in even less com- fortable quarters on a large tract of land on the north shore of the bay.

The Cath- olic Church is perhaps among the very | heaviest losers, but we are undismay- | ed, and I come here today to tell you that the noble men and women over whom I have direction are at your ser- vice.” These ringing sentences of the arch- bishop were enthusiastically cheered. Mayor Schmitz replied to these sen- timents in a speech equaily eloquent, saying that harmony already prevall- d, and that whatever enmity may have been feit in the past was wiped ocut and the citizens of San Francisco had but one object in view—the im- mediate upbuilaing of a newer and better municipality.

The appearance of the first electric cars upon the streets-of San Francisco since the great disaster was celebrat- ed as quite an event. City and railroad officlals and Invited guests fllled the first. car started upon the run across the city, Mayor Schmitz acting as mo- torman. Everywhere the sight of the car was greeted -with cheers from thousands of pedestrians. A continu- ous service was re-established later In the day on several o. the cross-town lines, and thousands of people were carried free of charge. The first building permit was ap- plied for and granted today. It was for a twelvestory steel structure to be erected by Thomas Magee and is one of the first substantial evidences that the business men of San Francisco in- tend losing no time in, getting down to business. { A cold rain fell for several hours last night and this morning and brought additior:al hardships upon the people sheltered only by temts and temporary buildings in the parks. To further add to thelr discomfort the wind blew a gale from the north all ‘day, scattering dust and ashes every- where, In some places throwing down the tottering walls of burned build- ings. Tonight was one of the most un-| comfortable since the great fire, and the lack of heat in the tents of the ‘homeless, as well as in the houses of the more fortunate, brings extreme discomfort. What to do with the unfortuna Chinese of Ban Francisco, & problem | which hes given the authorities con- siderable worry during the last few days, bas been settled, at least tem-| porarily.

I came simply as a messenger of good will and desire to lend a helping hand, not to criticise or obstruct. The task was to co-ordinate the official and volun- tary relief, to make it go as far as pos- sible, to prevent waste and insure if possible that it would be sufficient if citizens’ committee and the'local or- ganization of the Red Cross were con- nected in the finance committee of relief and Red Cross funds. This com- mittee, under the chairmanship of James D. Phelan, comprises twenty of the best citizens of the community, and has entire charge of the financial end of the work of rellef. Direction has been made to all to send all funds to the order of Mr. Phelan.
