How Funds VIII Be Raised.

Just what form of raising funds any
citizens committee that might be ap-
pointed at this time would adopt is, of
course, something that would havo to be
decided upon when the organization is
perfected, but In the meantime Mayor
Baker Is quite willing. he states. to do
all that he can I'm the matter.
He says that he would like to learn
just what the most urgent needs of the
sufferers are, and expects that the may
ors of the leading cities throughout the
country will be communicated with very
soon.
When asked II he did not think that It
would be a good idea to send a train
loaded with provisions. blankets, clothing
and other necessaries to the scenes OF
the disaster, Mayor Baker said that he
had not thought of a train. and was
rather of the opinion that tho express
companies could transport articles cheap
er and quicker.

of both councilnen Grinnell aud Smith.
The new element which has come into
the Fifth claims that 90 per cent of the
electorate has been drafted from the
Sixth and Seventh wards, and fully one
half OF the 90 per cent. is from the Sixth.

demanding representation In proportion

William X. Reynolds, the present alder
man from the Fifth ward. will be renom-
mated. and this will end the list ss far as
the old ward delegation Is concerned.
