THE RED CROSS FOUNDER
HENRI DUNANT'S GREAT WORK
AS \ PHILANTHROPIST.
Thousands of Soldiers Have Felt His
Influence and Forgotten,
Pensioner in His Own Asylum.

To Henri Dunant, a Swiss gentle
man, belongs the honor of in
augurating the Red Cross Society
Being in Italy at the time of
the battle of Solferino, on June
gath, 1859, he visited the battle
field. Appalled,. says Womans Home
Companion, by the needless and terri
bic suffering, he remained many days
doing all in his power to relieve it.
During these terrible days Mr.. Du-
nant conceived the idea of system
of organized relief whereby aid could
be given under such circumstances.
Returning home he published little
book called "Recollections of Solferi-
no" that aroused great interest. His
appeal touched responsive chord in
all hearts. Being invited to address
the Geneva Society of Public Utility
on the subject, he unfolded to them
his plans. From that time forward
he labored indefatigably to win adj
herents to his cause, writing articles,
delivering addresses, travelling from
place to place, consulting high Off
cials in authority at the European
courts.
BY the provision of the Red Cross
treaty, surgeons, nurses, ambulance
trains and all hospital supplies are
considered neutral. provided they
display a uniform badge and flag, ac-
companied by their national flag.
In compliment to Mr.. Dunant and
the Swiss government the protective
sign and flag agreed upon was red
Greek cross on white ground-the
reverse of the Swiss flag. Turkey
alone has objected to this Her sol
diers, in their intense hatred of the
Christian symbol. refused to work
under banner with a cross, and
they were allowed to use IA red cres-
cent in its place.
Mr. Dunant is now about 20 years
of age. Having spent half his fortune
in establishing the Red Cross, and
having lost the other half in unfortG-
nate business ventures, he lived for
many years, poor and forgotten. in
plain district infirmary in Switz-
erland. of which he himself was the
founder. Now, however, through the
pensions granted him by the Dowager
Empress of Russia and the Federal
Council of Switzerland, and the gener-
our gifts of money sent him by the
citizens of Stuttgart. Germany. he is
spending a peaceful old age in COM
fort and plenty.

DEMAND OF COAST JOBBERS
WANT PROTECTION FROM CHI
CAG0 AND ST. LOUIS
Delegation Before the Transconti-
mental Bureau in Milwaukee Asks
That Local Rates He Advanced to
Fifty Per Cent Above Carload
There VIII BE a Long Fight.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May ia hot
discussion developed today at the meet
ing Of the transcontinental freight bu-
reau relative to proposed changes in
rates on carload and less than carload
lots between Chicago and San Fran
cisco. A big delegation of San Fran
cisco and other Pacific coast jobbers,
manufacturers and hardware men APP
peared at the meeting with a request
that local rates be advanced to 30 per
cent above carload rates.
The present advances average from
10 to rs cents above carload rates.
The demand is being fought by A. j.
Valandingham, commissioner Of the
ST. Louis traffic bureau, and others
from Chicago, who demand that the
difference be maintained as at present,
or that if any changes be made they
be graded In the present proportion
all over the country.
The object of the San Francisco and
other Pacific coast jobbers is to pre-
vent competition from Chicago and st.
Louis jobbers. 1t is expected that there
will be a fight of several days over the
demands. One of the demands of the
Pacific coast jobbers is that the pres
ent rates of SLAB on less than carload
shipments and 81 per 100 pounds on
carload shipments Of drugs, be changed
to slips on carload, and $2.40 on less
than carload lots.
