A SHARP DISAGREEMENT
has arisen among the different mem
bers OF the relief committee. Many
desire to ask outside assistance. while
others oppose it. At a meeting of the
mittee held today, much y time was
given over to a discussion of the mis-
understanding that has gone abroad
concerning the attitude of the COM
mittee on outside relief. DR.. Boyd
was instructed to prepare a statement
for the press that will make clear to
the public and to the outside world
the exact position of the committee on
i this question. They will endeavor to
show the gentlemen who called the
meeting for tomorrow that at no
time has any outside assistance been
irefused when it was offered, but they
will strenuously oppose the issuance of
any appeal from the city to the out
side world for help. From a, concensus
of the opinions of the members of the
executive committee, it is the impress
sion Of the men and women who have
the work of relief in charge that ST.
Louis is perfectly justified in
ACCEPTING EVERY KIND OFFER
of assistance. With this end in view,
Secretary Morgan, of the Merchants
exchange, has taken care of every
check and draft arriving in the city
from outside.
There are a number who believe an
appeal should be made to the outside
world for help. This is based largely
on the assumption that the full reali-
alton of the enornity of the calamity
which has overtaken the city has not
yet come to the people.
1t is to find out just exactly what
these gentlemen are going to do that
we have appointed a committee to con-
fer with them, said Mr.. Spencer, presi-
dent of the Merchants exchange. We
cannot afford to have any friction in
the work of relief 1 am under the
impression, and so are my associates
on the committee, that the gentlemen
who sent out the mass meeting CALL
have been laboring under a misap-
prehension. From the tenor of the
call, they seem to think all offers of
outside aid have been refused This
was not contemplated when the word
was sent out that ST. Louis is able to
take care of her own. But st. Louis
cannot afford to go on record as beg
ging for funds. We have nearly $112,-
900 collected already and it may get
to 100000 long before that time we will
have matters in shape to know APP
proximately how much we will need
If it becomes necessary to call for
| assistance from the outside we will do
it, but that is not yet apparent.
