Food and Sanitation First Considered
?Huddled Together in the Parks,
Men and Women of All Classes
Make Best of the Situation.
San Francisco, April 21.?Order
and system are gradually being
wrought out of the indescribable
confusion which has prevailed in this
city for the last three days. The
hungry thoosand9 are being plentifully
fed, wherever they are camped,
and the fortunate householders- who
were not driven from their homes
are procuring food at the various relief
stations established throughout
the unburned district.
Water in sufficient quantities to
meet all immediate and pressing
needs of the people can be had. Sanitary
measures are pushed with vigor
everywhere. Sewers are being repaired
hnd the thousands of people
camped on open spaces and in the
parks are being organized into model
camps by the military authorities.
Temporary buildings were erected
in the parks to shelter women and
children, and all the churches, educational
institutions, vacant houses

^ Food is being brought in plentiful
SQpply and distributed in an orderly
and systematic manner. All those
who desire to leave the city are being
provided with transportation to any
point in California free of charge. No
one is allowed to enter the city who
cannot show satisfactory excuse for
Koin hofo
The sick and injured are being
cared for at the general hospital in
the Presido and at various other hospitals,
as well as emergency hospitals,
established by the Eed Cross
society at several widely separated
points.
AUTHORITIES COOPERATE
Gen. Funston, Mayor Schmitz and
Gov. Pardee met in conference at
Gen. Fanston's headquarters at Fort
Mason today, and had a thorough
understanding as to the relief measures,
and the policing cf the city. It
was decided to divide the city into
three districts, one under the federal
troops, one under the State troops
and the other under the police.
There will be no relaxation of rigid
police measures, and the entire city
was patrolled tonight in a thorough
and systematic manner: There has
been no disorder reported.
The board of health held a meeting

stances. The relief committee has
supplied every sufferer with food,
blankets have been supplied aud
many tents are in place.
An effort has been made by the
military and civil authorities to
secure some kind of an accurate list
of the dead in the neighborhood. So
far they have been greatly handicapped
through their inability to get
reliable people to engage in the work.
Among the homeless in the square
li
aits uuaujr utue uuoo. jusou uigui
there was a shortage in the milk supply,
but this condition was relieved
at an early hour this morning by the
arrival of many cans of the precious
fluid.
Early this morning there was great
excitement among the refugees over
the reported shooting of a looter in
the Eqaare. Certainly a shot was
flred, but by whom or at what point
neither military or civil authorities
doing police duty in the neighborhood
have been able to ascertain. It
is known, however, that no one was
Bhot by either soldiers or police at
Jefferson square during the night.
There was some relief of th6
crowded condition of the camp in the
square before noon today when a little
army of refugees, carrying all
they had in the world upon their
backs, made their way through debris
and wrekage to the Ferry building.
Here those who were out of funds
were given transportation across the
bay. At Golden Gate park, where
there are camned nrobablv the great
A. A. W
est number of refugees, conditions
today were improved.
The food situation is not serious.
There was plenty of food of the simplest
Bort, of course, provided for
every one in the bread line.
As yet there has been little sickness
aside from nervous shocks and
physical exhaustion end from these
most of the people have recovered.
Under Sentence of Death.
There are three white men and one
negro under sentence of death in this
State with the day of execution near
at hand. Epps Snowden, a negro, is
to be hanged in Kingstree next week
unless respite or commutation can be
secured. Bob . Smalls, a white man
from North Carolina, is under sentence
of death in Darlington county.
This man is confined in the penitentiary
for safe keeping.
Commander Johnson is another
white man under sentence of death.
R. A. Adams of Colleton is in the
| penitentiary awaiting the final cNsj
disposition of his case.
Mr. .Tnhn T. "Rrittnn. an nf.fnrnov
came here Saturday from North
Carolina to see Gov. Heyward with
reference to the case of Bob Smalls.
This white man was convicted of
having killed a negro in Darlington
county. 'Gov. Heyward stated to
Mr. Britton that any official appeal
for Smalls should go through the
regular channels and be directed to
the State board of pardons.?The

Obituary.
Malvina Wingard, daughter of
Elisha and Adelaide Calk, was born
July 15, 1882, and departed this
mortal life April 19, 190G, making
her ehort stay on earth 23 yearB, 9
months, 4 days.
She leaves to mourn her departure
a father and mother, one sister and
two brothere. One brother preceded
her to the spirit land about three
months ago. We trust our loss is
her eternal gain.
The funeral services were conducted
by ltevs. W. D. Quick and J. G.
Graichen at the home. The sermon
was based on Col. 3rd chapter, 1st
and 2id verses. Deep sadness prevaded
the large congregation who
were present to pay their last tribute
of respect and love.
The interment took place in the
family cemetery near the home.
"She is not dead, the child of your affection.
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our protection,
For Christ himself doth rule."
"Now a fair maiden in her Father's
mansion,
I liorl tt-ifli /-'Alocfin.! trrnru*
And beautiful with all the soul's ex
pansion,
Shall we behold her face."
