From the Lawrence Daily World for April 24, 1906: “Lawrence people gathered and decided to send as much aid as possible, starting with food donations, to the stricken San Francisco area which had been devastated by earthquakes and fires. Condolences and aid efforts poured in from throughout the world as the city tried to regroup and begin a comeback. .: The Republican count convention went just as our W.R. Stubbs, the chairman, intended and some think he might be a good U.S. senatorial candidate. : A canvass for rooms for those attending the state Sunday School convention here has not turned up but 300 of the needed 1,200 spaces. May some of the delegates be sleeping on the parking areas? : Baker cleaned up on KU in the Saturday night debate. : There are a number of local sources for collection of funds to aid the stricken San Francisco earthquake area and we all should be as generous as we possibly can. There is good news that rains have pretty well drowned out the many fires that followed the earthquake.”
