GOOD ORDER IN CAMPS DESCRIBES CONDITIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO REFUGEES
San Francisco refugees face ruin after the fire with money losing value and food plentiful in some families while others lack clothing and meat. Camps in Golden Gate Park show a mushroom city amid ruins where wealth is measured by stored food and cooking utensils scarce. Many evacuees share spaces with former merchants and factory workers, and social lines blur as Chinese and Japanese neighbors help each other. Fresh meat disappeared Wednesday morning as the fog and dew bite daily life.
