With an additional $31,760 added to- day to the Porto Rican relief fund allotted by the American Red Cross, Chatrman John Barton Payne an- nounced the organization is prepared to carry assistance into the remotest parts of the island. Today's allottment brings the total of the relief fund to $87,160, and this | will be expended by the Porto Rico| Chapter for relief to families of un- cmployed in rural communities, where conditions bordering on_starvation are | reported. It will also aid the Red Cross program in the ci Conditions in the island were stressed only last Sunday by Gov. Theodore Roosevelt in an article appearing in The Star. The present distress, Chair- man Payne explained today, is chiefly attributable to lack of employment on the vast coffce plansations. The Red Cross_Chapter, with headquarters in San Juan, is strongly organized, Judge Payne said, and has branches in all municipalities. Improvement Expected. Monthly reports from 28 municipal- ities received here comment on the lack | | of work among the coffee pickers be- cause of destruction of the coffee trees during the hurricane and consequent lack of food, sickness and distress, es- | pecially among the children. In the remaining 49 municipalities an im-; provement is expected in January, when | the cane-cutting season begin: Anticipating that the greatest dis tress which would follow the immediate suffering caused by the West Indies hurricane would come from unemploy- ment among the coffee pickers, the Red Cross employed as many as 40,000 la- borers at one time and spent five weeks last Winter-in clearing 120,000 acres of coffee plantations of debris and dis- tributed 10,000,000 coffee seedlings. For this relief task the Red Cross expended $693,739. These bushes wiil require six years to come to full bearing. Many damaged bushes were sal by th Red Cross. The Department of Agri- culture estimated that 49 per cent of all coffee bushes were destroyed. 134,800 Families Aided. In its relief work the Red Cross aided 134,800 families who suffered in the hurricane and strengthened and re- organized its chapter so that relief work could continue, Judge Payne said. The whole relief operation in Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands called for an expenditure of $3,231,262.47. Rellet in the Virgin Islands cost $84,651. A joint West Indies hurricane fund was contributed by the public, part of which was expended in Florida. The total fund was $5993,725. ROAD WORK SOUGHT.
