ANOTHER Case OF
HUNGER and Want
Turned Away by the Associ-
ated Charities.
A Wife's Pathetic Appeal Received
With Unconcern.
The Invalid Husband Meets With
business Rcvcrses. Followed
by Destitution.

Another case Of destitution deserving of
attention has been discovered by The
Times after having been practically ignored
by the local Associated Charities.
This is case wherein respectable
couple. having been reduced to a condition
of poverty and being in need of food and
fuel applied for aid at the office of the
Associated Charities, sl1 G Street. Here
the woman was refused aid because, as she
states, the lady said that the appropria-
tion had run out and they could do moth
ing"
The destitute couple are J. T. Lee and
his wife who occupy a room at 20l1
Eleventh Street Lee was at one time
feed dealer in Georgetown and later kept
a feed store in c Street. in the rear of the
new city postofiice. He is a colored man,
sixty years old, and incapacitated from
hard labor by years OF illness.
Both Lee and his wife are Canadians,
and came to this city about ten years ago
from St. GATHERINGS. Ontario. They came
here with a little capital, and had been in
comfortable circumstances until their re-
cent misfortunes. Lee met with business
reverses. He is without funds or employ
ment.
These people are not crawling around
their rooms in 4 naked condition. They
are not absolutely without furniture, hav-
ing several chairs and a bed. They also
possess a little square Of carpet sinful
luxury. as was shown in the case CT Mrs.
Evans vs. the Associated Charities. New
ertheless this couple have no food or fuel
and no money to purchase food or fuel.
They also have no hope of obtaining food
or fuel unless some charitable person sup
plies these needs or gives Lee employ
ment.
Mrs. Lee is a good seamstress and would
be glad of any sewing which would help
provide food. At present the couple are alb
solutely destitute and when the remainder
of bushel of coal procured by borrowing
% cents has been used. they will be left
without fire as well as food. Any as
sistance, however small. will be greatly
appreciated by them.
The Associated Charities have made no
investigation OF this case and have done
nothing further than TO tell Mrs. Lee 10
inform her husband that he might obtain
work siovciing snow from the streets. Lee
is too old and toosill 10 attempt this kind OF
labor. although very anxious TO obtain
some lighter employment or indoor work.
Both he and Mrs. Lee are bright and intel
ligent and the case, according to those who
know of it, deserves more attention than
was given TO ii by the Associated Char

Proposals to furnish the Police and Fire
Departments OF the city with clothing were
received at the District Building yester-

innovation for that branch of the District

bids.

the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. Il does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him. but be distiguTed by ursightly

missioners 10 detail Policeman Thomas
Markwood for day duty in Langdon. Win

John II. Watson, the president of the asso-
citation, wrote a letter to the Commission
ers stating that although the mounted po-
licemen offer ample protection when on
duty an officer should also be in the vicin-
ity of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
tracks to guard pedestrians from accident
while express trains are rushing into the
city.
President Watson stated that numerous
accidents had occurred in the vicinity of
the station at Langdon and argued that
children passing 10 and from school
