Mrs. Mary L. Sykes, president of the
Ladies' Seamen's Friend Society, has filed
a complaint in the Superior Court charging
Rev. James 3. Campbell with SANDER and
asking that he be required to pay her $4,000
damages and costs.
The action grows out OF the derogatory
remarks made by Mr.. Camnbell before the
Street Committee of the Board Of Super
visors and others few days ago when the
subject Of renewing the lease to the Sailors
Home was under consideration.
The offensive words as spoken by Mr..
Campbell and as set forth in the complaint
are as follows:

Captain McFee, in command of the Lie

business on Tuesday. happy in the thought
of the good he and his aids had done in the
past thirty days.
When asked by a CALL reporter what
success the LifebGat had had he said:
splendid And we have fully realized
all our expectations.
when we just started our expenses were
very high, rs we were not familiar with the
work. consequently there was good deal
of waste-that is not waste, but giving too
much for the money.
at was also very hard to divide the food
up right so that it would go around.
Every day has made US more familiar
with the routine work, and now we have cut
expenses down to minimum.
During the month we have fed 49, 279
men.
"Of this number about one-fourth paid
cash, the other three-fourths receiving their
tickets on the outside.
''In the way of lodging, we have housed
1868. an average of about fifty night.
"On the blue tickets Is the. privilege OF
taking n bath. One hundred and twenty
took advantage Of this. while about one
hundred more paid cash for washing their
clothes and bathing"
Captain McFee said the place was not
self-supportiug yet but had almost become
so.
