cases were worthy, assisted them as ne
ceSSlty seemed to require. And it was
thankfully received in every instance,
and the people expressed them
selves as thoroughly satisfied. Moth
ing was done, however, save in cases
where the urgency was apparent.
Tomorrow, beginning at 10 O'Clock a.
M, q thorough system will be put in
operation by which all eases will be at
tended to. The executive committee.
with q full corps of assistants and clerks.
under the management OF w. L. R0lph,
chairman, will be at the Board OF Trade
building, and will remain there all day.
Relief will also be gauged by the
Number of Applicants.
For instance, if there are $4,000 to
distribute and 10000 applicants, each
will receive 33115 per cent, attention be-
ing paid to the amount of damage,
which, of course. will cause some varl-
alton. The amount of the fund now in
the hands of Treasurer Buckner, ex-
cept what was used for urgent cases
yesterday, is $4,000. The COM
mittee from the Cincinnati cham
ber of commerce. which came down
at midnight Friday, returned home to-
day. They viewed the devastated dis
trlct and said the damage was much
greater than they had supposed. The
executive committee OF the board of
trade politely but firmly declined offers
of assistance. Chairman Rolph notified
the gentlemen that Louisville proposed
to stand up to the rack and care for her
own people,. The Cinclnnatians .ap--
that Louisville was plucky and
invited call on the Cincin-
natl chamber of commerce if help was
needed. A telegram was received which
stated that indianapolis had raised S2O,-
600 to be sent if needed. There were
offerings of assistance from other points
also. None of these have been accepted.
The spirit which actuates the people
seems to be that Louisville will
Stand by Her Own People.
Mayor Jacob said that, while he was
opposed to calling for outside help, if a
voluntary contribution were offered. he
would advise its acceptance. A good
many people called on the relief COM
mittee to-day for help. Those who
were in great distress were relieved.
Applications were noted, and in
veStigation and relief will speed
lily follow. Mayor Jacob received
many kilograms to-day from all
parts Of the country, offering help and
financial assistance. To all Of them the
mayor responded on behalf of the citi-
zens of Louisville, thanking them for
their kind offers of assistance, and stat
ing that money only could be used.
Many offers of food, clothing, medical
attention and nurses were offered. but
the mayor felt that Louisville could
house and feed her wounded and dis
tresSed and bury her dead, 80 all offers
of this nature were kindly declined.
The relief delegations from Cincinnati,
Indianapolis and from the Kentucky
legislature viewed the devastated dis
trict to-day and saw for themselves the
work of destruction that had been done
and in some measure the distress
that prevails on every hand. Neither
of the delegations were solic-
tied for aid, but the matter was
left in their own hands to do whatever
their inclinations suggested. The in
Spection of the legislative committee
may result in large appropriation by
the legislature. and material assistance
is expected from Cincinnati and In
dianapols whenever their respective
committees return and tell of the
desolation and suffering they wit
messed. The generous donation
of Melville Butler, convict in
the Kentucky penitentiary at Frankfort,
was much commented on to-day. But
Ter was sent to the penitentlary for
long term for killing man named Nc
Coy on jackson and Gray streets several
years ago. A letter was received from
Butler yesterday by Mayor Jacob. con-
tanning four crisp five-dollar bills. which
the donor directed to be used in the re-
lief of tornado sufferers.
