The list of savants, literateurs and holars of national, and even inter- ational fame, who are scheduled to appear at the summer school and ! give instruction to the army pof spe-! cial students who gather for this pur- po:e is perhaps larger and more im- ! posing than the faculty has provided | for any similar school during the last three years at the university.

To Aid in Disburs- ing Red Cross Funds. | General Bates, president of the Red Cross, has come to San Francisco as the personal representative of Secre- tary of War Taft, to prepare the ac- counts of the disbursement of the Red Cross relief fund, In accordance with Government regulations. General Bates, accompanied by James D. Phe- lan, appeared before the reconstruc- |tion committee Wednesday. In re sponse to a request of Mayor Schmilz he addressed the committee. He said: “It is a great pleasure to be among you at this hour of your affliction. None of you can understand the effect the news of your disaster has had throughout the East, and, in fact, throighout the entire country and the ‘What can I do for San Francisco? “For three days and nights the en- | tire country watched the bulletin boards and followed the progress of the terrible conflagration. “Finally 1 went to Secretary Taft and asked him what I could do.

Relief will | be extended upon the recommendation of a committee of each tribe that is | nable to care for its own members. |Up to Monday $2700 had been re- \cehed and a letter from Great In- cohonee Cherry that the Red Men of all reservations will help their broth- | ers. Plans were adopted by which aid is to be carefully given after the “pread line” is discontinued. The hall association committee re- ported that it has an option for the |lease of a lot on Sutter street, near | £cott, on which a $5000 structure will | be erected for the accommodation of local tribes and general business. Bids will be invited for a steel and stone building on the Golden Gate avenue lot. Last Monday night Goodfellowship Camp, Modern Woodmen of America, hed a large meeting in Oakwood Hall, where three strangers were Initiated, the first taken into an order of this kind since the fire. | At a reunion of the local lodges of the Independent Order of B'nal B'rith last Sunday it was decided to continue as in the past. The different lodges were assigned meeting places in ves- |tries of synagogues and in private reeidences, The records of the grand lodge were all saved. The order had but one loss by death during the earthquake, but since two members have dled from the effects of the shock. No member will be suspended for April and May assessments and dues. Mission Rebekah Lodge held its first meeting since the shake, on last Bat- urday, at the residence of Mrs. Larimer, on Capp street, with thirty members present.

Will Rise From the Ashes of Confla. gration by the Enmergy of Her Own People. Every Bank Is Solvent and the Mer- chants Have Ample Resources and Credit. The California State Board of Trade has issued the following statement concerning conditions in this city: “The California State Board of Trade, which for nearly twenty years has been the exponent of the re- sources and capacities of Californla, and has in its archives the most ac curate statistics of the State’s pro- gress, submits this statement of the situation in San Francisco and of the causes which compel that city to rise in greater power and splendor than ever. “For the third time in her history San Francisco has been destroyed by fire. The only difference between each disaster is the increase in the values of property destroyed. Twice before the city was rebuilt upon an The width of streets was unchanged and no wide intersecting avenues and frequent plazas were provided as checks to-a general conflagration. The water sup- ply bore no relation to the result, as in case of a general conflagration water 18 powerless to resist, ag was proved by the Chicago and Baltimore fires, that had their way against a full -supply and pressure of water. The city will now probably be rebuiit upon g reformed ground plan that will interpose space to prevent the spread of fire, and it is planned to be the safest city in the world from con- | flagration and to furnish to others an |and while he knew that everything| example of construction. ‘“The earthquake damage relatively was inconsiderable. Many of the buildings on both sides of Market street stood against the earthquake. The modern steel frame buildings sat- fered least, and that style of structure stands vindicated. The city has to rise from the ashes of conflagration and not from the ruins of an earth- quake. That it will rise by the en- ergy and credit of its own people is well assured. Already it is threaded by temporary rallroad tracks to carry off the debris and clear the ground for building. Contracts are let for'a multitude of great buildings and the city will rise new, strong and equipped to again take fits place among the great commercial centers of the world. Every bank is solvent. The great merchants have resources and credit, and all of the people have hands ready for all branches of the labor of res- toration. It js significant of the high expectations of enterprise that real estate values remain stiff and in a large number of cases have advanced since the ground was cleared by fire. The loss of life was small and is feit as a personal sorrow rather than by the economic energies of the ecity. “California is a State of great pro- ductivity, in her mines, manufactures, waters and land. San Francisco Is located to receive the commercial drainage of an annual production of wealth from these sources amounting to $150,000,000, and rapidly increas- ing. A considerable proportion of her population will ald the processes of reconstruction by resorting to the mines, mills, lands and waters, to in- crease their output of wealth that flows to the city. A State with such a variety of resources upon which la- bor may be applied has the ready means of redistributing population and locating it in gainful occupations, all of which hasten the rebuilding of the city. “All this s in the immediate hinter- land of San Francisco farther in, zone after zone of production and commerce of the country drain toward San Francisco. That eity was cre: ated by commercial energies and ne-| cessities that fire cannot burn nor earthquake destroy, and they exist now as they did before, and pile up the results of human energy at the same point, as the current of a great river continues to build its delta. “The California State Board of Trade, with its long experience, is able to give the situation as it is and as it will be, and is glad to reach the; public through this statement.” At a meeting Wednesday represent- atives from Kern, Santa Clara, flo~' noma, Contra Costa, Alameda, Sacre-| mento and San Joaquin counties de-’ veloped a strong sentiment in favor of continuation of the State board’s work. About a half of the State ex- hibit at the ferry building was de- stroyed. Funds will be raised to re- new the display., The following reso- lution was adopted: “Resolved, That the California State Board of Trade hereby expresses its high appreciation of the public serv- ices and sacrifices of the railroad ags- tems of California in alding the peo- ploot!mi‘mmwommdfiu during the recent ecalamity and t.w we also express appreciation of W efforts of the United Rallroads of San Francisco in rmmm communi- cation by street car.” . .

Many house owners and comtractors apparently have the mistaken idea that any sort of build- ing work willl pass muster since the catastrophe. The Board of Public Works has been conducting a quiet investigation for a day or two which shows that the laws are being viclated right and left. The Mayor's general order provided that one-story wooden or corrugated fron structures might be raised as a temporary rellef meas- ure. No permission was given for the erection of any other sort of building. The Board of Works has dlscovered that in several instances two-story siructures have been made almost ready for occupancy within the last week. - Some people, too, are con- structing bulldings whien are evi- dently designed to outlast the period | GENERAL GREELY'S REPORT DESCRIBES PRESENT CONDITION More Than a Quarter of a Million Ra- tiong Still Distributed Each Army Commander Comments Upon thoy Wmd-flul Courage of the - People, Every Effort Being Made to inmtJ the Giving of Supplies to Those Not in WASHINGTON, May 10.—The War egram over night from General Greely, “While conditions improve slightly, | the miserable situation may be indi- food for 800,000 people in San Francisco is yet necessarily cooked on the public streets.

In the very midst of the ruined and devastated district on Bush street, near Leavenworth, stands a wooden cottage, very cozy and comfortable to look upon.

The ground around the house has been cleared of | debris and its occupants find easy en- trance and exit to their new dwelling place, the first of its kind in the dis- trict. Maskey’s idea will be followed out| by several other residents of the dis-| trict who were burned out. Already several of them are at work erecting cottages on the ruins.
