Committee to Solicit Funds
for San Francisco.
MESSAGE OF SYMPATHY SENT BY
MAYOR CALLAGHAN TO
STRICKEN CITY.
The Aidermen Start Fund by Donat-
Ing Their Fees
of $6O.
The city council held a special ses-
sian at 11 o'clock this morning at
which resolutions of sympathy for the
stricken people of San Francisco were
unanimously adopted.
Resolutions providing for the dona-
tion of $6O the fees of the aidermen
for a meeting to a relief fund and the
appointment of committee chairmen
to solicit money for the fund were
also adopted.
Mayor Callaghan was authorized to
telegraph the mayor of San Francisco

of San Antonio to those of San Fran-
cisco and assuring them that this city
would do all In its power to extend
a helping hand.
Mayor Callaghan Presides.

council chamber was called to order
by Mayor Callaghan who stated the
object of the gathering. Aiderman
Richter thereupon moved that the
council resolve Itself into the com-
mittee of the whole. The motion was
seconded by Aiderman Ixtckwood and
adopted. On motion the mayor was
selected to preside.
‘‘As an old Californian I am most
sadly impressed by the awful calam-
ity that has overtaken the Californi-
ans” said Alderman Ixickwood. “I
had the experience of being in an
earthquake in California about fifty
years ago. but that was nothing com-
pared to the shock of yesterday morn-
ing.”
"The present earthquake is the
calamity ot the age" continued the
aiderman. “and not only hnvc the peo-
ple of San Francisco suffered but
those in other adjoining towns as well.
No one knows what the death list Is
and the people In San Francisco nr“
confused. We do not nor even do
those tn that stricken elty. realize
what a great disaster has happened.
As yet no cries for aid have come but
they will come and it Is for ns to
stand ready to help. San Antonio Is
noted for Its hosnftality and we must
not stand back In the hour of need.
Let us then extend a helping hand to
those poor unfortunates."
Each Aiderman An Anent.
Aiderman l/tckwood then suggest-
ed that the mayor take time bv the
forelock and be ready to act and of-
fered the following resolution:
"That the aiderman of each ward he
and is hereby appointed as chairman
of a committee to solicit subscriptions
in aid of the people of San Francisco
with power to add to their commit-
tee as manv of our citizens as may be

Aiderman Mauermann seconded the
motion of Mr. Lockwood.
Aiderman Dav’s offered as an
amendment the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved That the mayor be
chosen the chairman of the general
committee; that the four aidermen

pointed as chairmeti of eight sub-
committees. with each alderman as
chairman of the committee In his
respective ward with full power given

On motion of Aiderman Lambeit
seconded by Aiderman Davis it was
decided that each aiderman donate
his fee for one meeltng of the city
council towards assisting those In
California. As each alderman receives
$5 per meeting this means the sum
of $6O.
Aiderman Richter advised that im-
mediate steps toward getting funds
be taken so that when the cry for re-
lief conies this city will be able to
assist at once. The suggestion met
with favor and the various committee
chairman will at once appoint citizens
of their respective yards to assist
in raising subscriptions.
