As the Central Relief Committee is now
ready to take up the local charitable work,
announcement Is made that the collection
OF morey for The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club Is ended. The good effects of
this crusade against cold and hunger are
still felt In every section of the city. and
hundreds of children are attending school
daily with warm, solid shoes on their feet,
who would have been utterly unable to go
II the silver pins had not been sold in such
quantities throughout the District. Very
nearly 300 was raised for actual distribu-
ton in the cause of charity. The amount
actually subscribed was s2.S11.92. OF this
sum s5lJ.J0 was for the purchase of the
pins and ribbons and the printing of the
latter. and was covered by the amount
given by The Star to the club at the very
start. So every cent raised in the schools
and elsewhere by the sale of badges. at
ten cents each. and by contributions re-
ceived at The Star office, was available for
the purchase of food. fuel and clothing for
the poor OF the sum thus at hand for
this good work 81 $50 was distributed De-
cember 81 among the supervising princi-
pals of the schools and the Associated
Charities, according to the needs of the
various sections. In the distribution the
colored schools were cared for equally
with the white. In the proportion of their
needs. Later. on January z, the sum of
s316.12 was distributed in the same proper
ton among the schools, to meet the de-
mands that the increased severity of the
weather had caused. Thus a total of
s., 296 AZ has been put out in these chan
nels and the good work, 1t Is reported by
the principals. IS still going on. This con-
stitutes the final report Of the Santa Claus
Club for 1S94-5.

Governor O'Ferran of Virginia has evil
IDENTIFY come to the conclusion that the
state of which he is chief executive Is the
worse for the presence of those who run
the winter racing that has gone steadily
on through snow and sleet and hall and
rain and ice and mud and slush at the
Alexander Island track. Many times has
The STAR on behalf Of the people of the
District of Columbia, attacked those who
are deeply interested in the double-headed
organization known as the Grange Camp
Association OF Northern Virginia and the
Old Dominion Jockey Club. The former
title was leased. for a consideration. and 1t
Is under the shelter of that lease that the
gamblers expect to be able to continue
their occupation. This hope is probably
without good foundation, for neither Gov
ernor O'Ferran nor the states attorney
general would be likely to institute legal
proceedings unless they were reasonably
sure of their ability to carry them to a
successful conclusion. The gamblers take
comfort out Of a decision that on its face
seems to favor their contention, but there
Is evidently better authority in existence;
to be produced when the proper time ar
rives. By their presence and their con-
duct the withdrawing visitors have rem
dered this city a less desirable place of
residence than 1t was prior to their advent
at Alexander Island. which by reason of
its close proximity is practically a part
of Washington. The better element of
this city's population has felt like resent
ing the migration hither of those whom
even Gloucester and other sin-seasoned re-
sorts cast out. but 1t has mover been pos
sible to do anything more than protest
since the occupation of Alexander Island.
II Governor O'Ferrall makes good his
promise to put a stop to winter racing in
Virginia he will be entitled to and will re-
ceive the thanks of this community.

The cold snap prevented the authorities
In charge OF the city post-office building
from breaking the record as to the number
CT men employed. Only fifty-two were at
work today. Pending the construction of a
new table of prophecy and possibility 1t
would hardly be fair to mention any pre-
else date as one which would witness
structural completion. People who demand
date will have to be content with the
reasonable Idea that the post-office officials
will not vacate the structure in which they
are temporarily located until somewhere
In the vicinity of August II, 1906.

THEY TANNED HIS SKIN
CuticIe of Tom BIanck Made Into
Pocket Books
Novel Proceeding Allowed by the Authorities
in Seattle Which Will Astonish
the World

TACOMA, WASH. May 1.-The cuticle
of Tom Blanck. the desperate who held
up the King county jailer at Seattle with
wooden gun recently and turned half
dozen murdelers loose has been tanned
and will be made into pocket books. The
people of Sumner, near where Blanck was
killed with rifle bullets when captured,
say it is an attempt to immortalize a
red handed murderer" They accuse a I,
physician of that place of having charge
OF the tanning of the human skin. They
say he presented enough OF Blancks hde
to M. Kelly of Sumner to make pocket
book. 1t is denied by some that Blanck's
cutcle was removed but it is admitted
by others that enough was tanned to
make three to half dozen pocket books.
AS soon as it was learned that pocket
books made from the murderer's skin
could be had there was q decided de-
mand for them, especially among police
officers who took part in the two great
man hunts, the latter of which resulted
in Blanck's capture.

the direction of the government. was
begun here today despite the protests of a
large number of Indians who threatened
to make trouble if any of the purchasers
of the land attempt to take possession.
The Puyallup Indians are recognized by
decision of the U nited States circuit court
as citizens and they exercise all the
rights as such, with the single exception
that land on their reservation is he Id i'll
trust for them by the government, the
Indians only being allowed to enter into
lease of the same for period not to ex-
ceed two years. Great dissatisfaction ex-
lists among them on this account and
when the sale of lands began today,
squad of redskins announced publicly
that the whites had not better take any
land.
John Laclaire. one of the chiefs, said:
The land belongs to us. The whi te
father gave it to the Indians; these men
come out here to sell it when we do not
want them to. We want to be let alone.
We are good Indians. If we want to sell
lands. we SELL but the government says
no. If the government wants to sell
lands and we say no the government says
sell anyhow. The Indians don't like
that. No man can take lands if he buys,

THOSE NEW WARSHIPS
The Disagreement of the Board of Engineers
Regarding Designs

WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the first
time in its history the board of naval bu-
reau chiefs have come to an absolute dis
agreement. and have been obliged to so
report to Secretary Herbert. leaving him
to determine which side is right
The disagreement grows out of the de j
signs of the six new gunboats for which
plans were prepared by the construction
bureau. There are two reports on the
subject, one signed by four members of the
board. totally disaprpoving of the plans,
and one signed by two mem bers. vigor-
ously upholding them. The four men,
bers objected that the boats proposed will
draw fourteen feet of water. and so would
not meet the requirements of the act OF
congress which describe them as light
draught gunboats. They also hold that the
fitting of the vessel with a complete full
sail power is mistake, as the experience
of the department with such vessels as
the Adams shows that no steamer fitted
with sails can beat against the wind, and
therefore the sails will be almost useless
in average condi itons.
On the other hand. the supporters of
the plans undertake to demonstrate that
the vessels would be efficient and yerv
much more economical than the boats
without sails, arguing that the criticism
is founded on vessels not given full sail
power and giving figures to support their
assertions.

has prevailed very widely here even in
some official quarters although the policy
of the government has been to accept the
good faith of Great Britain's s representa-
tions.
The withdrawal Of troops from Corinto
and the departure of the fleet not only
ends all question of British territorial ex-
pansion in Nicaragua, but also puts at
rest the fears entertained that the control
of the canal route would be seriously
affected by the proximity of the British
forces.
The affair has cost Nicaragua more
than the original $77. 800 1t was neces-
sary to use 300 extra troops al cost of
$4,000 per day. The abandonment OF Co.
rinto as a customs point has also resulted
in much loss. The disturbances to busi-
ness and commerce is a loss which can
not be measured in dollars.

in condemnation of the administration at
