Relief Efforts Surge as San Francisco Disaster Proceeds
The relief committee reports homeless men women and children are cared for with food and medical supplies arriving from across the state. Despite hardship, aid is organized, whisky seized for medical use, and temporary city offices reopen.

Chinatown residents face grave prospects without government relief, while others in the city endure cold mornings and crowded shelters. Cartoonist April Flord is reported dead near Morton.
