MAKE APPEAL FOR

F LOCAL C1TIZEIIS Associated Charities Ask for Contributions to Conduct the Winter's Work in Richmond. LACK OF FUNDS BINDS ORGANIZATION TOO MUCH There Is Use for $2000 Among Dependents and Finance Committee Issues a Strong Appeal for the Money. Appeals to public minded persons of Richmond are now being sent out by the f nance committee of the Associated Charities, asking contribu tions with which to conduct the win ter's work of the association. It Is believed by the committee, consisting of Timothy Nicholson, Rev. Addison Parker. A. L. Smith, Henry Slekman. J. F. Ackerman, Benjamin Johnson, George H. Knollenberg, Samuel W. Gear and Walter Doan. the coming winter of 1910-1911 will be one of the hardest for several years partly on account of the failure of natural gas and for other reasons. According to the circular accom panying the appeal for help, the asso elation has constantly labored under disadvantage because of lack of fundi. Much more of this practical worlc could be done If funds were available. About $1,700 waa expended last year, Out of this sum the salary of the sec retary and rent for headquarters re duced the sum for relief work. At least $3,000 will be required this year to successfully take care of all the demands on the association. The township trustee has no facilities for providing such assistance as le given by the association, but co-operate with the missionary so that no relief is duplicated tor the ? on scrupulous. This plan Is greatly to be desired over the old method of Indiscriminate beg ging and giving and is really making producers out of many wno nave been dependents. Last year there was subscribed $1,7(5 by 275 . persons. One person gave $100, one gave $50, twelve gave $25, four gave $20, three gave $15, and other gifts below these sums. A car load of coal was donated by coal deal ers. The circular states that the poor of Richmond received better care than la any other city of Indiana, not that the people are more liberal In giving. but because the system of giving aid Is more Intelligent and renders more permanent benefit to the recipient When applications are made for aid the cases are always investigated. The following letter, of appeal Is be ing mailed: "To Our Citizens: The finance com mittee of the Associated Charities of Richmond together with an assisting committee appointed by a meeting of representative citizens, would hereby announce that it has adopted for the coming season the same plans for the proper support of this noble phllan throplc work that were so successful last year. "We ask from those who have hith erto contributed annually to this benevolence and from many other con siderate and philanthropic citizens, cash and subscriptions to the amount of two thousand dollars. "Wo make this appeal after careful Investigation of the operations of the Associated Charities and an examina tion of the treasurer's books. "The accompanying : circular will serve to explain and to commend the work of the organization. "We advise that all unknown appli cants for assistance and all known cases of destitution be referred to Its secretary, Mrs. Rev. Joseph Beck. 130 8outh 8eventh street or to Its agent and efficient missionary. . Mrs. Elisa beth Candler. 21 South Fifth street "An contributions In money should be sent to the faithful and careful treasurer. Mrs. Emma E.

J ' ACCIDENTS HAPPENED EARLY IN THE CONTEST Harry Grant, in "Alco" Won Cup, with Marmon Second and National Third 300,000 People Attend. (American News Service.) New York, Oct. 1. Three men were killed at least two others fatally injured, and a score or more spectators sustained lesser Injuries during the most spectacular and disastrous auto mobile races which have ever been run over the Vanderbilt Cup Course. Long Island. Fully a quarter million of persons and thousands of automobiles lined the thirteen mile course over which the three great contests, comprising an unusually large number of entrants were under way simultaneously. Harry F. Grant In the "Alco" car won the Vanderbilt cup. covering the 278 miles In four hours, fifteen minutes and fifty-eight seconds. The Marmon car "Dawson" finished second. National car "Altken" third. In the eleventh lap Dawson averaged 73 V miles an hour, a new record. J. F. Gelnow in the Fal car. won the Wheatley Hills sweepstakes. Bill Endicott In a Cole-30, won the Massapequa aweeprtakes. . The first fatalities occurred during the first half hour when the Columbia car swerved from the track and crashed into a telephone pole, maiming driver Harold Stone. His mechanician. Billy Bacon, died on the way to the hospital,' Stone's leg will be am putated. - Driver Chevrolet of the MarquetteBulck car struck a touring machine containing spectators near the edge of the track. His mechanician. Chas. Miller was killed. The car driven by Ferdinand Zluba, New York manager for the Pope-Hartford Automobile Co., containing his wife and five other spectators collided with a pole, killing Zluba and seriously Injuring his wife. Among those probably fatally hurt are Thomas Miller and Henry Hagendorn, spectators. - - It was estimated that nearly 300, 000 people lined the course at the start The cars with even numbers occupied one side of the starting point and those with odd numbers the other. The chief trouble with the contest ants was with the crowds that lined the course. The turns at Massapequa, Hicksville and Westbury were hard propositions and so were the bridges and ruts, but wont of all was the crowds that shoved np to the danger zone and were kept from the course Itself only by the strenuous efforts of detectives and special officers. Heavy clouds hung low and a little rain fell at Intervals, but the more than twelve miles of humanity mass ed about the twisting circuit refused to have Its spirits 'dampened and a continuous roar of applause followed me nying oust in wnicn bidden ma chines were going over the course. The original plan of starting the cars fifteen seconds apart was adhered to and it required 7 minutes to get them all under way. . SMALLPOX IN ANDERSON. Anderson, Ind Oct 1.
