Three |additional days have been added to the length of the campaign and 10,000 workers were astir early to- day, inspired by the bright sunshine and beautiful weather. It was reported this morning at Salvation Army Headquarters that Greater New York has reached nearly to the million dollar mark, The ‘Theatrical and Motion Picture Com- mittee in connection with the big benefit at the Hippodrome last night, announced that their collections amount to $200,000. This brings the returns up to $960,000, In addition to this a check for $25,000 was received this morning from Mr. and Mrs. will- fam Rockefeller, this being the 55th anniversary of their wedding. 3. Cc. ‘Tenny & Co. contributed $600 and the congregation of Teni El sent in $330. News was received at headquarters that the returns from every part of New England showed a great im- provement. One hundred Salvation Army work- ers started from the headquarters, No. 690 Fifth Avenue, at 11.30 o'clock this morning with an immense quilt which it had taken one woman five years to make by hand, Dollars, nickels and dimes were showered into the quilt and bids were received for the article itself, The line of march was down the avenue to the Wash- ington Arch and across to Broadway to the City Hall, where the quilt is to be turned over to the highest bid- der. Arthur Hammerstein and his chorus girls of “Tumble In,” “Some Time” and “Somebody's Sweetheart” will do their bit to help swell the fund.
