URGENT NEED OF RELIEF.
Appeal for Contributions by the Gem
trail Committee.

The finance committee of the central re-
lief committee has sent out special appeals
for contributions to supply immediate needs
of the poor. The committee is now with
out funds, but it is believed there will be
an immediate response to the requests sent
cut, and that the unpleasant necessity Of
a house-to-house canvass may be avoided
Judge Cole has called meeting of the
full central relief committee for tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50 in the board of trade
rooms to consider any matter that may be
brought before it.
The subcommittee appointed to consider
places of permanent organization, with
General Sternberg as chairman. has been
considering some plans, and may make
preliminary report at the meeting tomor-
row.
Contributions to meet the pressing needs
of the committee should be sent TO Beriah
Wilkins, treasurer, Post building, or to The
Evening Star.
The applications for relief made to the
agents Of the Associated Charities are
numerous, and the association has been
obliged to deny many families owing to
obliged to limit relief to extreme cases
where sickness existed or where there were
vry small children.
Secretary Wilson reports that there has
heen more sickness brought to the atten-
ton of the agents during February than
in any month since he has been in the
work in Washington.
The agent in Northeast Washington had
during the month sixty-seven cases of
sickness. Seven deaths are reported in
this section during the month. Pneumonia
is most common, ard this weather is very
bad for that disease. Relief has always
been granted in cases of sickness whether
the committee had funds or not 1t has
drawn upon its credit TO supply the most
urgent cases. There Is still a large de-
mand for fuel.
Yesterday Walters & Co. of 18th street
northwest donated $50 worth of coal. to
be delivered in quarter-ton lots, to poor
families in the northwest
Cash contributions have been received
since last acknowledgment as follows:

Fred Ashton, colored, was brought here
yesterday afternoon and committed to iail
by Justice John r. Taylor. The prisoner is
charged with breaking into Mr.. S. p.
Troombley's store, near here, about 6
O'Clock Monday evening, and stealing about
$50. After a warrant had been issued Of
fcers Steele and Swartz were put on Ash
TONS trail. and they overlook him about

Cfhcer Swsrtz to handcuff the prisoner af-
ter his apprehension, but Ashton started to
run. OfficeT Steele shot at him, but missed
MIN. Tten Officer Swartz fired two shots.
one Of which entered the body of the fugi-

SHIP BROKEN IN TWO.
Part of Mafne's Keel Forced Upward
Twenty-Nfnc Feet

Part of Names Keel Forced Upward
Twenty-Five Feet.
In telegram from Havana last night
to his paper in New York the Herald cor
respondent says: The Names back was
broken. The latest discoveries made by
the divers not only support the informa-
ton furnished concerning the disclosures
of paramount Importance made by Ensign
Powelson, but convince those in charge of
the submarine investigation beyond all
doubt that mine rent the battle snip
asunder
l am able to write positively that the keel
of the ship has been found In two pieces.
Nearest the ends, which are now separated
by a distance Of two and one-half to three
feet, the sections are no longer lying In
one straight line, but show the effect of
force exerted from port to starboard no.
ticeable in the other wreckage From the
discovery of the present condition of the
keel, one section of the bottom was found
Twenty-Five feet from it's natural position
and was rent from the keel by the first
explosion and driven upward. The keel
itself was forced in the middle until it was
broken In two, and then~collapsed in two
sections, which fell in the position in which
the divers found them yesterday.
/ am assured by reliable persons familiar
with the result of high explosions and with
the wreck above and under the water that
the breaking of the keel as now disclosed
could not possibly be done by an inside
explosion. In fact, this last discovery Of
the manner in which the Names back was
broken, taken together with earlier dis
closures made public here, convince men
working about the wreck that further in
vestigation as to the manner in which the
ship was blown UP is perfectly useless.
They consider the question solved beyond
doubt
The board of inquiry will of course hear
evidence of the wrenching apart Of the
keel
Witnesses and officers In charge will he
summoned to Key West if the board does
not return to Havana.

CoIored Native of County Cork.

A colored man named Tom O'Brien, a
native Of County Cork, Ireland, was among
those who called at the District building
yesterday to register his name for en-
ployment. Tom has been in this country
for several years, but his Irish accent Is
more distinct than that of many white
Emeralders who have lived here the same
length of time.
O'Brien discussed the topics of the day in
his native tongue to the amusement of
those who heard him. When he was ready
to leave the building he was escorted to q
neighboring saloon and when he put down
the bottle there was no room left in the
glass for water. He refused to accept a
glass Of water and parted from his new
friends after saying that there was no
beverage as good as Irish whisky. He said
his father was native OF Portugal, while
his mother was born in England.
