greater sensation in Chinatown than

streets in that quarter are crowded

More Suffering than the Relief Commit.
tees Can AlIeviate-The Mayor TO Issue =
ProcIamat!on,and the Police to be Added
to the Relief PatroI-Hundreds OF fam-
lilies Being Daily Added TO the Lists OF
the Needy.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The cold wave
which reached Chicago last night
frightened it's grip to-day and at mid
night ~Ckicagoans were ~shiverinE IN a
I6-below-Zero atmosphere. At el@ht
o'clock this morning the thermometer
registered IA below. The temperature
then moderated somewhat, but at nc
time during the day did the mercury
rise above three below. Shortly after
sunset tie temperature began drop
ping rapidly and tonight promises to
be a record-breaker. The weather
bureau promises no relief tor four OF
five days. The suffering among the
poor is intense and Mayor Swift VIII
issue a proclamation calling for bread
for the starving.
According to reports made to the
mayor bv the bureau of charities and
other committees that have applied to
him, the number of destitute families
is increasing each day until the con-
ditions in some parts of h city are
appalling. Immediate relief is neces-
sary, or, it is said, many will die OF
starvation and cold. The police sta
tions all over the city are filled VIII
dodgers. Hundreds of homes are with.
out fuel or 600 and skilled workmen'
are begging on the streets.
~, nn iii n KIfn hIa lnGfIfn-
tions and many individual philanthro-
pists have called upon Mayor Swift to
urge him to make an appeal to the
pu bile for immediate help for the sui
ferers. He will issue a proclamation.
tomorrow setting forth the a con-
ditions of the poor in Chicago and.
make an appeal for public help. Nc
actual cases of starvation have as yet
been reported, but many are suffering
with hunger.
Distributions of fuel and food have
been carried on by the bureau OF
charities, but they say they are unable
to take care OF one-ffth of the people
who beg assistance. County Commits
sioner Healey reported to Mayor Swift
yesterday hat the lists of needy are
growing at the rate of from 300 to SOC
families a day. These are not the
families OF paupers, but skilled work.
men who are unable to get work.
Last nights blizzard continued until
early this morning. There was no
serious delay to street a traffic and
the thoroughfares were kept open by
the hundreds of men who were kept
at work ali night ManyOf those suf-
fering from want were given an OPP
p%ortunity to earn a few pennies by
clearing away h snow.
All trains are late out the delay Is
not serious.
Through the suggestion of Mayor
| Swift, Chief of Police Badenoch issued
an order tonight which will facilitate
the furnishing of relief to such as are
in danger from the want of food or
fuel. The patrolmen throughout the
city were ordered to make reports on
all cases of extreme restitution and
explain the character of relief re
quired. On all such reports immedi-
ate assistance will be rendered.

e. . boat MachIas at Banzkok
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The gunboat
Machias has arrived at Bangkok I'M
der orders to protect American inter-
ests. having been hurried there from
Hong Kong, 1000 miles away, on re-
ceipt of official news at the state de-
partment last week of an attack by
Siamese soldiers on United States Dep
uty Consul-General Kellet.
Commander Mckenzie will confer
with Minister Barrett, and if the cir
cumstances warrant, a salute to the
American flag will be demanded. The
fact that the Machias has been or
dered to bangkok has already had the
effect of altering the attitude of the
Siamese government toward the United
States. She is the first American war
vessel to visit Bangkok for seven
years, and the effect of her mission as
soon as its character became known is
reported to have been exactly as Sec
rotary Olney desired.
