(Special) Tele grams have been pouring ln on Governor Mickey today from towns out In the state, whose mayors have been appealed to by the governor for aid to the Ssn Francisco sufferers. The response has been most generous. This morning the governor was notified by the Nebraska Telephone com pany and the Lincoln Telephone company that all messages relating to furnishing aid to the stricken people would be trans mitted free of charge. This afternoon Oovernor Mickey held a consultation with representatives of the four wholesale houses here and It has been arranged to send out two cars of provisions tomorrow. These provisions will be paid for out of the cash contributions to the governor. In Lincoln all supplies In the nature of bed ding and clothing to be handled by the state are being sent to the storehouse of the Lincoln Transfer company. Among the individual contributions re ceived today was $100 from W. J. Bryan, which was sent In by Charles Bryan.

RELIEF SUPPLIES BEGINNING TO ARRIVE Arrangements Made for Distribution o Food and Tents. BLAZE FINALLY BURNS ITSELF OUT Confliotinc: Beporti of Damage to San Frano sco Water Front. DESCRIPTION OF THE BURNED AREA Market, Van Ness, Greenwich Streets and Bay the Limits. OTHER PARTS OF CITY ARE AFFECTED Section Bounded by Market, Guerrero, Dolores and Twenty-Second ad Bay Shore Is Wiped Out. BAN FRANCISCO, April a.-Order and system are gradually being wrought out of the indescribable confusion which has prevailed In this city for the past three days. The hungry thousands are being fed, and plentifully fed, wherever they uro camped, and the fortunate household ers who were not driven from their homes are procuring food at the various relief stations throughout the unburned district. Water in sufficient quantities to meet all the immediate needs of the people can lie had. Sanitary measures are being pushed with vigor everywhere. Bowers are being repaired and the thousands of people camped on open spaces and ln the parks are being organized Into model camps by the military authorities. Temporary build ings are being erected ln the parks to shel ter women and children, and all the churches, educational Institutions, vacant houses and those houses which have been deserted by their occupants tonight have thousands of homeless. Food Is being brought in in plentiful supply snd dis tributed in an orderly and systematic man ner. 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 can not show thoroughly satisfactory excuse for being hero. The sink and Injured are be ing cared for at the general hospital In the PresldicS and at various other hospitals left Intact as well as emergency hospitals and those established by the Red Cross society at several widely separated points. Relief Work Divided. General Funston, Mayor Schmlts and Governor Fardoo met tn I conference at General Funston's headquarters at Fort Masin today and had a thorough under standing as to the relief measures and the policing of the city. It was decided to divide the city Into three districts, ono under federal troops, one under the statu troops and the other under the municipal ' police. A plan of co-operation between the mili tary and civil authorities waa formulated snd all future conflicts of orders or authorities will be avoided. The supplies brought Into the city from Interior points will be stored at Oak Und mole under Major Duval, of General Funston's staff, who will foivard the same by boat to the various water front Bu ttons, whence they will be distributed under direction of General Funston and his staff. This means that all supplies donated by California cities and transported free of charge by the railroad and steamship companies, will be put Into the hands of tho national government. Banks to Resume Business. The bankers of San Francisco met this afternoon to discuss the financial situation. The question of opening the vaults of the wrecked financial Inbtltutlons was thor oughly canvassed and It waa the sense of the meeting that a limit of thirty days be made for the resumption of business. While the subtreasury building ls unsafe and cannot be entered at present, the mint, with over $200,000,000 is Intact and New York transfers of money may be drajMI there. The stringent military rule of the pad few days has been modllled almost to tho extent of permitting citizens to come and go at their pleasure. There will be no relaxation of the. rigid police measures, however, and the entire city will be pa trolled tonight ln a thorough and syste matic manner. There has been no disorder reported from any section. The Board of Health held a meeting to day, at which were present many of the representative physicians, and measures were taken for an Immediate and thorough inspection of the entire city by physicians. For this eynergeney the Board of Health has called for 6") volunteer physicians. Dancer of Fire Passed. Late this afternoon a Journey along the northern water front of the city showed fires blaxlng ln but two places and theue were hardly capable of spreading unless a severe gale spreads them tonight. Unless the smouldering embers are again fanned Into a blaze and scattered by the winds. It Is believed that the water front for tho time being is safe. The walls of the ruined buildings in the downtown section of the city collapsed today, but so far as can be learned no person aas Injured by the full ing stone, brick and steel. The tower on the Hall of Justice on Kearney street still retains Its upright position despite the fact that but one small corner of the structure hears the Immense weight of steel and granite.
