BITTER COLD AND TREMBLING HONGER Bread, Meat and Coal Going Out to All the Needy. THE TERRIBLE STRUGGLE There {s no end to the sad cases of des- titution and poverty that come to the knowledge of the police, and in addition to the work of rendering assistance to the needy who are especially deserving they are also picking up drunken men and sav- ing them from dying from the cold. A po- liceman in conversation with a Star re- porter this morning said he could not de- scribe the sad scenes of destitution and suffering he had seen, and although there are so many people in want a great many poor persons are drinking whisky and spending their money in this way, when their families are greatly in need of it. One great trouble just now, the police find, is the inability of persons to pay rent as well as being without food and fuel. Many families aye being ejected, and fome have been set out in the street in the snow storm. Some of the landlords have been very kind to the occupants of their houses, but in some instances, the police say, the poor people have been in- humanly treated. In one case where a colored man’s effects were thrown in the street to be covered with snow he owed an agent $2.50 on his month’s rent, and would have settled that amount had the agent been willing to wait a few days. It is said that some of the persons so ejected and exposed to the severe weather have afterward had to seck hos- pital treatment to recover from the effects of the exposure. In the fourth precinct, South Washing- ton, the police have been unable to supply the demands for fcod and fuel. There are hundreds of poor families in this section who have nothing in the world except what they are given by the police and charitable institutions. As stated in The Star two days ago, Lieut. Vernon stopped elving large orders for fuel because the orders would not go around and is giving a bushel or two of coal and a few sticks of wood at a time, enough to keep a number of fami- lies warm from day to day. Today the Heutenants were given an allowance of $25 each to expend for the poor, and most of this goes for bread and fuel, although some orders for groceries are given. Fairly Overwhelmed. “Never in all my experience said Mr. Emery, the secretary of the Associated Charities, this noon, “have I been so over- whelmed with the pressure of cases de- manding instant attention. This offict has been crowded all day and the cry for help is fearful. The demand for fuel was never so great as it is today. We are sending out supplies just as fast ‘as we can. We shall mect every case We possibly can. The substations are, in Oe same plight we are. Many of our tases this morning are people who were burned out at the fire on Columbia road. ‘They have nowhere to go and nothing to eat. We must fix them up with shelter, bedding and eatables. 'At the central reljef roams on Louisiana avenue everything js moving today as usual. Mr. C. W. McNulty has loaned a wagon, Superintendent Larne of the street cleaning department has tendered the use of one wagon and the Hygienic Ice Com- pany has added a big double wagon to its donation. Woodward & Lothrop, the Pal- ais Royal and Mr, Ryan continue their Ican of wagons. More are needed, and it would seem as if among all the merchants of Washington more offers of wagons might be forthcoming. If they can be Icaned for only two or three hours that would hasten the collection or distribution of supplies that might keep some poor soul from freezing or starving to death. Collecting Clothing. Loads of groceries, provisions and cloth- ing were sent out today to nearly all the police precincts and Associated Charities stations. Five tons of coal were sent to the police and five to the Associated Charities. The collection of articles contributed is go- ing ahead just as fast as it can be pushed. Over 2,000 blanks have been answered with the wagons so far, and gifts of bedding, clothing and provisions brought in. There are nearly 2,000 more places to go to befare the whole collection will be finished. This will be done just as fast as possible. Peo- ple who have bundles ready must not be impatient if they are not, called for as soon as they expected they would be. ‘The coal yards are working better today, as the streets are in a little better shape. None have given notice today to let up on orde®s. The Georgetown Gas Company sent word this morning that what coke they had was at the service of the com- mittee, and about 150 bushels will be sent out on orders at once. Provisions Coming In. The relief committee received this morn- irg from J. C. Addison 100 loaves of bread; from Mr. Schmidte, 200; Levi Wood & James, 300; Hoar & Willett, 100; George S. Krafft’s Sons, 200; James 8. Low, 100; A. B. Schoterbach, 50 loaves; Willett & Ruoff gave a box of woolen caps, and M. Iseman & Bro., two boxes of woolen caps. The provisions coming in to the committee are chiefly flour now, when beans, coffee, meal and hominy are wanted. This afternoon Mr. Cook of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company sent a big two-horse load cf provisions, and told the committee he would do the same every Saturday as long as necessary. The market dealers also sent a big load of meat and vegetables, as they have heretofore on Saturdays. Ready for Three Thousand. The soup kitchen was full from noon on all day. They expect to feed 3,000 there tomorrow. There is quite a sprinkling of women in the throngs that come there. The kitchen has thus far cost but $7.30. Everything is given—provisions, rent, ser- vice—nobly and bravely given for work that is doing great good. J. T. Varnell gives the use of a wagon to collect sup- plies and the following butchers today sent in a big load of meat and bones: John R. Kell, Karll Bros., W. R. Stuart, Marion J. Riley, J. K. Pfeil, J. H. Buscher, C. E. Gerner, C. H. Brook, B. F. Hunt, E. L. Kengla, A.Loeffler, C. Ebel, L. Rosenbusch, J. H. Johnson, F. P. Norton, N. W.Coumbe, N. J. Garrity, Worthen Bros., J. J. Light- foot, T.

Bread was given by John Kaiser, Fred Vogt, Geo. Kean, Carl Hoffman, 8. S. Cog- gins. Groceries were sent in by A. H. F. Hol- sten, J. N. Fries, and products by C. Engel & Son, J. H. Kendrick and F. A. Heitmul- ler. Several lunclt rooms also contributed. The Great Charity Concert. For some days the police, firemen and public school children have been, quietly but persistently selling tickets for the charity concert that ts to be held in Con- vention Hall next Wednesday night, un- der the auspices of the committee appoint- ed by Judge Cole, consisting of Dr. Frank T. Howe, Mr. Willard Holcomb, Mr. Jay Durham, Mr. Whitman Osgood and Mr. Frank B. Metzerott. Mr. Ed. Guzman, the secretary of the committee, to whom has been intrusted the details of the affair, is active and energetic, and everything prom- fses success. The Marine Band and the Choral Society will participate in the pro- gram, as will also the great southern hu- morist, Mr. Lucius Hills of Georgia. The Marine Band will play at least four num- bers and the Choral Society will sing two chorus “The Heavens are Telling,” from the “Creater,” and the celebrated Hallelujah chorus from the “Messiah.” Mrs. Robrecht of South Washington has provided a simple means of helping a class of the poor not to be overlooked. She has had boxes placed in Mertz’s drug store, Adams Express office, the Bon Marche and Strasburger’s shoe store, where penny gifts may be made to buy nourishment, medicine and clothing fo the poor who are sick. : More Contributions. Contributions have been received at The Star office as follows: Heretofore acknowledged.. W. M._ Poindexter. Mrs. A Washingtonian. Cash Cash Bridget .. B. M. L. Miss G.... Total ... John T. Schaaf sends an order for a ton of coal. The Howard University Relief Asso- ciation. The Howard University Hill Relief Asso- ciation will give a charity musicale in the chapel of the university Monday evening, the proceeds to be devoted to the deserving poor. Among those who have given their services are Mr. Joseph_ Douglass, Mr. Ward, Prof. Harris, Mr. Waring of Chi- cago, Masters Daniel and Henry Murray, Henry Wallace, Mrs. Hilyer,Terrell,Clarke, the Capital Savings Bank Mandolin Club, Miss Mattie Bruce, Helen Adams and 4 Mozart Club and university choir. ie committee of arrangements consists of Mrs. Fleetwood, Mrs. Arthur Gray, Mrs. Bilyer, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. Gregory, Mrs. R. S. Williams and Mrs. Fairfield. Yesterday’s Work by the Police. Some idea of the enormous work done by the police is given in the summary of yes- terday’s work. The nine stations helped 916 cases of destitution, a3 follows: No. 1, 20; No. 2, 60; supplies exhausted at an early hour. No. 3, 66; as many more to investi- gate. No. 4. more than 200; no provisions after about 2 o'clock. No. 5, 80 relieved; supplies short. No. 6, 125; No. 7, nearly 100; No. 8, about 125; at this station there was a great clamor all day long. No. 9, 70 assisted; and could have relieved 70 more if provisions had not given out. At present the police are giving out more fuel than food. In good weather the poor people get most of their fuel from the ash dumps, but these are now covered with snow and the people are compelled to ap- ply to the police. fivery one of yesterday’s cases was known to be needy, and as many more ap- phed for help, but there was nothing left, and they had to be turned away empty- handed. Lieut. Vernon of the fourth pre- cinct, which covers the southwest part of Washington, where the suffering is greater perhaps than in any other part of the city, sent out yesterday afternoon and ordered two tons of coal to the station house, where it was stored in the stables and given out a bushel or a pailful at a time to the most needy, to keep them from freezing to death over night, when the $2,128.98 10.00 10.00 10.00 quarter-ton orders could not be sent. One virtue of the police charity is that men ar always available to visit cases report- ed at any hour of the day or night, and their personal acquaintance with the needs of the people op their beats makes them about as good and practical agents of dis- tribution as it would be possible to find. The officers have been kept busy during this bitter weather in looking up the needy cases, and their prompt action has saved not only much suffering, but has prevented persons from actually freezing and starv- ing to death. + Work of Other Agencies. At the Central Union Mission yesterday there were but 188 applications for aid, against 305 of the day before. There wero 105 calls for aid at the central office of the Associated Charities yesterday, though the number has been close to 200 every day for over a week past. The substations had a larger number. The calls were above all things for fuel. One hundred dollars of the central relief appropriation to the Assoclat- ed Charities was sent to the South Wash- ington station. The association recelved an order yesterday from Matthew G. Emery for ten tons of coal, and a check for $25 from A. C. Snow, who also told Mr. Emery to send any poor people who needed med- ical assistance to him and he would see that they were properly treated by a com- petent physician. This is a feature of the situation that Is not overlooked. There are many among the poor who need medical attendance. The number has increased with the cold weath- er. The police and the Associated Charities are always on the lookout for any need of this kind and promptly attend to it. Ap- plicants are frequentiy asked in the veri- fication of their stories of hardship if any of their people are sick. In the line of this need a timely contribution came yesterday from William A. Roeder of the Dupont Pharmacy, who wrote that he would honor five prescriptions a day for the next ten cays. The Central Relief Distribution. Fifteen loads of supplies came in to the Louisiana avenue depot of the central re- lief committee yesterday and nearly as many were sent out. The committee re- ceived 500 loaves of bread from Havenner’s bakery. The bakery had sent 500 loaves the day before to the committee, but by mistake they were delivered to the soup kitchen, and yesterday Mr. Havenner good- naturedly corrected the error by sending 500 loaves to the committee. Almost every police precinct was supplied with 100 loaves of bread by the distributing commitee, but this went only a little way with the great demands upon this charity. The Loyal Legion Work. ‘The storm of the last few days seriously delayed the Legion of Loyal Women in its collections of donations, but it is hoped that the teams generously furnished by Messrs. Knox and Hawley will soon be able to catch up in the work. Every day brings urgent calls for help. The ladies engaged in the work say many cases of distress are most pitiful, because pride has kept the sufferers from revealing their true condition uatil everything has been ex- hausted, and when found they are in need of everything. There are cases where the carpets from the floor and the furniture have been sold, piece by piece, until liter- ally nothing remains that can be exchang- ed for food or fuel. ‘The legion’s supply of clothing and bed- ding is pretty nearly exhausted, as these things are given out almost as fast as re- ceived. In fact, special things are often secured after the particular needs of the family are ascertained. At present the greatest need is for more materials and clothing to be made over, so as to continue the employment of the poor sewing women. Old shoes are wanted for the cobbler to mend. Of the $25 donated by Mr. Stilson Hutchins and the $30.75 contributed by the joan and currency division of the Treasury Department last week, a small part was used for the purchase of materials for sewing; part was expended for food, and part given to the poor sewing women as wages. These were in addition to the funds provided by the legion itself for these purposes this week and the large amount of fuel, provisions and clothing they had on hand, but which have been al- most expended in the dire necessities of the last few days. Relief for Dixtressed Odd Fellows. Mr. Lewis Hopfenmater, chairman of the general relief committee of the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, announces that that committee will extend immedi- ate relief to transient members of the or- der or their families, who are in want or distrgss by reason of the recent severe weather, when application is made to the committee and the case is found worthy. Mincellaneons Notes. The case of the mother who asked help the other night at the eighth precinct sta- tion house received generous attention yesterday. Her little home out on Whit- rey avenue was made glad yesterday with many gifts. The neighbors turned out in force. The four children were clothed warmly. The mother had repeated calls during the day from people who brought food and clothing. She will now be able to get through the winter. She received over a ton of coal and several packages of clothing and provisions were left at the police station for her, which were taken to the house in the wagon. eee The Ladies’ Meeting on Monday. The committee of arrangements in charge of the meeting to be held at the Washing- ton Club, 1710 I street northwest, Monday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock, have completed their labors, and the occasion bids fair to be a marked success. The program will consist of two addresses by Dr. 8. C. Busey, president of the District Medical So- ciety, and Dr. W. W. Johnston, who have selected as their subject the imperative need for prompt betterment of our water supply and provision for the development of the sewer system without delay. Inter- esting charts and diagrams will be used to illustrate the principal points which the distinguished men of science will present to their audience. Invitations have Ween sent to five or six hundred of the leading ladies of the social circles of the national capital, and there will doubtless be a large and thoroughly representative gathering of the fairer sex. es INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

Page 11 DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A Suggestion. August Peterson, attorney, writes to the Commissioners today in regard to the pro- posed plan of transfers now under con- sideration, and requesting that the transfer system be extended from the 14th street branch of the Washington and Georgetown railroad to the G street line of the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home railroad, either at 15th street, which is now the terminus of the G street line, or at 14th street, should the route of the Washington and George- town road be changed. He says that this transfer station would be one of the most popular in the District, and one that would give more relief and benefit than any other transfer station in the city. Order Canceled. The order to lay 8 granolithic sidewalk on Ist street, from K to Pierce street, under the law governing assessment and ‘permit work, has been canceled by the Commissioners. ; ‘Temporary Appointment. Creed W. Childs has been appointed phy- sician to the poor, vice J. F. Price, on leave, with compensation at the rate of $30 per month. Additional Private. Charles J. Cassidy has been appointed an additional private of the metropolitan po- lice force, for three years, for duty at the Corcoran Art Gallery, to serve with- out compensation from the District. For Collecting Garbage. The Commissioners today transmitted to Secretary Carlisle a recommendation of the health officer for an appropriation of $2,000 to cover the cost of the collection of gar- bage during the months of May and June of the current fiscal year, and asking that an item to cover this amount be included in the pending deficiency bill. Access to Fire Plugs. The Commissioners this afternoon ad- dressed a letter to Attorney Thomas stat- ing that Chief Parris of the fire depart- ment has brought to their attention the faet that there seems to be no legislation which prohibits obstructing access to any fire plug within the District. In section 31 of ‘Webb's Digest there is a prohibition against the obstruction of any valve or stop-cock connecting with main or service pipe. This section, the Commissioners say, should be amended so as to include the word “fire plug,” and they ask that he consider the best means of securing this amendment. Unfavorable Report. . Commissioner Powell recommends an un- favorable report upon the bill incorporat- ing the Washington and Brighton Railroad Company. He says that a part of the route described is indefinite, and another section is highly objectionable. It is be- lieved, he adds, that no steam railroad should be allowed to enter the northeastern section of the District unless its tracks are parallel and contiguous to the right of way of the Baltimore and Ohio road. Mr. Daniel Made Assessment Clerk. The Commissioners today appointed Mr. John W. Daniel as_ special assessment clerk, to succeed Mr. William Oscar Roome, who recently resigned to go into the bank- ing business. Mr. Daniel was formerly connected with the District government as cashier in the office of collector of taxes, and resigned from that office on November 1, 1894. He was appointed cashier on the Ist of July, 1888, and held that position until the latter part of last October, when his resignation was called for by the Commissioners be- cause of some trouble with a taxpayer, it being alleged that Mr. Daniel had insulted the taxpayer. Mr. Daniel is at present residing at 1622 Riggs place. At a meeting of the board of Commissioners today Mr. Daniel’s appointment was unanimously agreed upon. ——_—->——_. THE COURTS.

Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee, was arraigned today in Criminal Court No 2 on the indictment charging him with mali- ciously and falsely libeling Mr. Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas, the District recorder of deeds. He pleaded not guilty, and it Is understood that he is extremely anxfous for an immediate trial. He will probably be so accommodated by District Attorney Birney, and during the trial Mr. Chase's friends intimate that some very interest- ing matters will be developed. The enalty for the offense alleged against Editor Chase is said to be “in the bosom of the court.” That is, it is claimed, the punishment is left to the discretion of the judge. FINANCIAL.
