To the ditor of The San Fran- cisco Call. e note in Sunday’s is- sue of The San Francisco Call the atement that the Sterling Furniture spany “had been charging poor people $12.00 each for kitchen tables $1.50 each.” That statement is unqualified falsehood.

The surgeons who worked day and night at the Harbor Hospital admin- istering to the wants of those injured and rendered homeless by the earth- quake and fire speak in terms of grate- ful appreciation of the assistance ren- | dered them by John D. Spreckels. Not only were there injured at the Harbor Hospital to look after, there were homeless to house, hungry to feed }and many sick In need of medical aid. The small stock of medical supplies at | the hospital disapjeared in face of the demand as the city®s buildings fell be- fire.” The demand, like the fire, was widespread, and replenishing |the medical supplies through regular channels was out of the question. dilemma the surgeons turned liners that lay anchored In appeal was made to the Pa- |cific Mail liner Mongolia.

After long argument and much {vaccine points box; { lobjection ten vaccine points and ten DEr [ 4iankets were turned over to the doc- The China contributed seventy and thirty blankets. “I then went on board the liner noma, 1 Dr. Ed Diggins yesterday, “and made my wants known to Mr. John D. Spreckels, who was on board, and to whom I was referred. “I told him what I wanted. In a few minutes 1 had 2000 vaccine points, all good and fresh, and permission to tske all the blankets I, needed. He saggested other things that were on the ship that might be useful in alle- viating conditions ashore and said the tors. doctors were welcome to anything there was on the ship. “And he went further. He said his home in the city was at the dis 1 of the Red Cross people for use as hospital. Mrs. Jack Spreckels, who was there, also offered her home. Everything was offered freely and what we took from the Sonoma gave us one of the biggest lifts we got from any private or public source. “We made a number of requisitions {on the Sonoma and every time found the same desire: to help the work and the same free hand.” On the Columbia, capsized in the Unlon Iron Wetks drydock, Dr. Dig- gins found a friend in Captain Doran. “I have no authority to give you any- thing,” said Doran, “and may lose my Job for doing it,, but I'm going to do it anyway.” And Captain Doran pitched in and helped to strip his ship of mattresses, blankets and other equipment. When the Columbia had been stripped Cap- tain Doran took the doctor to the City of Puebla, also in distress, and intro- duced him to Captain Jepsén, who also assumed the responsibility of turnine his ship inside out to proyide beds and covering for the homeless and sick. —_———— Morley Not to Disband Team.
