Daily Tribune, Terre Haute, Vigo County, 21 December 1914 — Page 8

fSi With But Three Days of Campaign I ,. Remaining, Workers Push Effort to Increase Total.

Only three days more remain of the 1914 Red Cross Christmas seal sale and the workers are exerting every eiTort to remain in second place in the a league.

the Hotel Demlng and Terre Haute house booths reported good sales, although not as many as at the postoffice. Tlie booth at the later place has proved the best booth that has ||§s Ibeen operated this year, on account of

I the large number of packages which iare being sent out. Monday morning scales were placed 'In the lobby of the postoffice, where [packages might be weighed and the (Workers were given a conspicuous 'place near the scales. The sales for (•Monday promise to exceed any that ihave been yet made. Members of the 'Caledonian club volunteered to remain |after 6 o'clock until the crowd at this Ifoooth cleared away in the evening and •this is expected to result in increased sales.

The inclement weather which has prevailed practically during the entire smonth has worked a hardship on the district workers, many of whom did not get started on the campaign until numbers of people in their districts had purchased seals from other places.

However, an effort will be made to land Terre Haute in second place in the league campaign, even though hope for first place has practically Deen abandoned.

Letters were sent out to the cistrict and out-of-town workers who cannot be reached by telephone Monday requesting them to make their reports to the office in the Manufacturers' club not later than next Monday and if possible to make them the day following Christmas.

According to advices from Indianapolis, reports will have to be filed at state headquarters not later than January 15 and Terre Haute wishes to be among the first to make the final reports. The city and county reports are expected to be ready to mail to state headquarters by January 5 and the final reports will be made for the state to the American Red Cross by January I'O.

WILL CONTEST CONTINUED.

Witnesses Fall to Appear in Suit to Break Rosa Fritts' Will. The trial of the Rosa Fritts' will *cont&sl case set before a jury in Judge

Swango's court Monday morning was continued until later in the day, owing to the failure of witnesses on both sides to put In an appearance. William H. Goodwin, a nephew of Mrs. Fritts, who was a resident of Pierson township, and left- an estate of some $4,000, and other relatives are contesting the probate of the will on the grounds tha Claude Welch, one of the beneficiaries, used undue influence on her, and that she was of unsound mind.

URGES CONSTITUTION CHANGE.

Citizens League Official of Ft. Wayne to Speak Here. Ross Lockridge. secretary of the Citizens league, of Ft. Wayne, was a visitor in the city Sunday and Monday. Mr. Lockridge is touring the state in an effort to arouse interest regarding the holding of a constitutional convention and a meeting of those interested will be held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, Monday evening, December 28. Several speakers from out of the city will attend this meeting and also a general meeting to be held in Indianapolis, shortly before the legislature convenes. The Terre Haute meeting is the only one that will be held in the Fifth district.

Still Need for More, However, if All Poor Kids are to Receive Christmas Gifts.

If a few more donations like the ones received from the Young Men's Institute and from the school teacher who did not give her name and the one from the Social thimble clufo who sent into Captain Stahl ?5.00 each for the Poor Kids Christmas tree there would be no question but what an amount large enough to make all the poor children in the city happy on Christmas day. "With what money we have In sight, if I could get 100 men and women to give $1.00 each," said Captain Stahl this morning, "the amount that will be needed to give 1,200 children tnelr Christmas would be complete." Over 700 tickets have been distributed by the captain and 500 more will be given away this week. "A ipathetic instance happened this morning when a widow who recently buried her husband came for tickets and said that the only Christmas she would have this year would be from the Poor Kids Christmas tree. These are the kind of families we expect to provide for. Get in with your donation and help lighten the burdens of people like this," said Captain Stahl.

NAVIGATION MADE DIFFICULT.

Variety of Weather Causes Inconvenience to Terre Hauteans. Terre Hauteans found it very inconvenient to get to work Monday morning, or to move about at all out otf doors, owing to the fact tiiat the streets and sidewalks were covered with a coating of thin ice, resulting from the weather

of Sunday. Weather

Forecaster W. R. Cade predicts that more cold weather is coming and that the thermometer will be down to 8 degrees above by Tuesday morning, The dangerous condition of the streets was accounted for by the fact that it rained, snowed and sleeted, Sunday, accompanied by freezing weather. According to the weather man, this variety of weather was accounted /or by the passage of a storm from the southwest to the northeast.

An interesting meteorological fea- 1 ture of Sunday's weather was the fact that rain fell at such a low temperature.

Ethel Barrymore is presenting a playlet called "Drifting Apart, hi vaudeville. It was written by an linglish nobleman and was usec\ as a curtain raiser by Irving, Tree and Wyndhani. Miss Barrymore, ii: her first film vehicle, will be the drawing card at the new American theatre on Christmas da.y and Saturday next. Andrew Mack in "The Ragasti Karl" is the opening attraction Thursday.

It was rather tame burlesque or "burley cue" that was on ta.p at Germania hall yesterday afternoon and last night. Even the "cooch" dancer was on her good behavior. There was a long magic act and a dramat:c Sketch, very preachy, which didn't appeal to the crowd out front at all. The Holy Poly girls were in rather cramped quarters on the Germania stage. They arc due TO open in In-diariapc-lis today. Almost any sort of a "burley cue" troupe can get by in Indianapolis but our diminishing devotees of thin form of entertainment clamor for something a bit more gingery than that offered .bv the Roly Poly girls.
