ST.. LOUIS, June 5.-ITic general re-
lief fund for the torni I, sufferers
Thursday night foots Ia Sl9l ZOO.
There are many independent Is iCf UNI
dertakings that would swe she
amount to SEQ, 900 There Is no abats
ment of zeal in those who have volun-
teered their services in personally
aiding the needy. The money total
probably represents only one half
of the actual relief, as food, clothing,
medicines. furniture. building material,
the use of teams and wagons and many
considered in the summing up. The
task Of giving the tornado sufferers-a
new start In life seems as big -ss-eyer to
the committee at work at the south
side relief stations, but they have
become experts in the art of
learning wants, and they believe that
now as never before they are doing the
greatest good to the greatest number.
One branch of the relief committee is
proving the appeals of the needy and
exposing imposters, and the success of
the latter class in getting undeserved
aid is almost at zero. There are six
distributing stations in the tornado
section, with general headquarters at
the Merchants exchange.
ST. Louis, June 6.-The general re-
lief fund for the tornado sufferers
touched the 500, 900 mark Friday. OF
this $4,000 has been expended. The
fund committee will close its work
next Wednesday, after turning over
the fund to the relief committee. The
latter will continue to act until after
every one deserving aid is past want
In one particular the storm was not
without some good, as building is act
lively resumed and millions of dollars
will be given workmen.
