ST. LoUIs. June 5.-Thc general re-
lief fund for the tornado sufferers
Thursday night foots up SOL. 900.
There are many independent relief un-
dertakings that would swell the
amount To 100000 There is no nbate-
ment OF zeal in those who have volun-
'ecred their services in personally
aiding the needy. The money total
probably represents only one half
of the actual relief, rs food, clothing
medicines, furniture, building material
the use of teams and wagons and MANY
other aids in the merciful work nre moi
considered in the summing up. The
task of giving the tornado sufferers n
new start in life seems as big rs ever In
the committee at work ut 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 undeseryed
aid is almost at zero. There are six

Wednesday have been reported either
IN this city or East 81. Louis since
tive o'clock Monday afternoon. The
city rescue corps started digging for
bodies Tuesday in the ruins of the
buildings at Seventh and Rutger
streets and ut the ruins of the SAWYER
manufacturing plant, Mt 1919 Chouteau
avenue. The buildings on three cor
ners of the former location were total
ly wrecked, and i; is said that several
bodies are buried in them. One of
these structures, at the southeast cor
ner, was tenement house. The work
of rescue will be carried on until all of

the death list has crept up TO % and -

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-The lower house
of the municipal assembly Tuesday
passed the bill appropriating 500, 600
for the relief of the tornado sufferers.
The bill provides for n commission of
five, with the mayor as chairman, to
disburse the money. The objection to
the bill on the grounds that it was
illegal because it did not provide that
those given relief should render some
service in return, was overcome by CITY
Counselor Marshall, who inserted an
amendment to the effect that those re-
cciving aid should render such return
as was within their capa abilities. The
people being unable to do anything,
the legal clause would be nullified.
Mayor Walbridgc has not refused to
accept money sent from outside cities
and has turned over SIS. 900 thus Sc
cured to the relief committee. The
mayor, however, believes that st. Louis
should be equal to the task of caring
for the afflicted, and is opposed to solic-
ting aid from outside channels until
absolutely necessary.
The st. Louis Fair association turned
into the fund the net profits OF Mon
days races, about 800. The general
fund footing Tuesday night is slao. 600
OF this large part has already been
disbursed.
James Campbell, Dan Catlin. VIM. j.
Lemp, Charles Parsons and other capt.
talists Tuesday took initial steps to
raise $4,000 to lend to tornado suffer
ers at low rates of interest to rebuild
their homes. No interest will be
charged for 10 months. At the Noon
Day club s35. 900 was raised Tuesday
for this purpose.

FIVE years ago.

One of the peculiar features of the
storm IS the appalling list of missing
persons reported to police headquar-
ters. Up To Monday morning 124 per-
sons are reported missing. The police
are inclined to believe that many of
these will be found with relatives in
other portions of the city.
The situation in East st. Louis is one
of gloom and misery There is some
fear of an epidemic of disease among
the homeless near the river. Under
the ruins is n vast quantity of decay
ing animal and vegetable matter which
is sending pestilential clouds up
through the debris. The sufferers are
weak from exposure and exertion and
are In no condition to fight the malaria
that is breeding on the island. An
other problem is the almost unanimous
refusal of the sufferers to leave their
belongings and occupy the military
tents which have been pitched at
brighton. In spite of the presence of
the militia they fear that their goods
are not safe and refuse to leave unpro-
tected all their earthly belongings.
