NO LONGER REQUIRED AT
GALVESTON.

BUILDING STUFF NEEDED
Approaching Winter Finds Many
Families in Tents Along
the Beach.

Galveston, Nov. 1O-After spending
nearly two months in the relief work
among the sufferers at Galveston n
other places on the Texas coast, Clara
Barton feels that there is no more
necessity for her remaining in the
field. The work of relief will have
to be continued, however, during the
entire winter, but the local Red Gross
order in Galveston, organized at Miss
Barton's suggestion, and the local
committees at various points on the
main land are in such thorough work
ing order that they will be amply able
to distribute their supplies now on
hand and the large quantity that will
continue to be sent without the aid of
Miss Barton's staff there. 1t is her
purpose to withdraw from Texas
within a few days.
Miss Barton said to the Associated
Press today:
II am DESTROYS of getting back to
Washington and my association as
soon as possible to aid in directing the
work throughout the United States
for the meetings that will be held
under the auspices of the National
Red Cross on the night of December
81"
Miss Barton gave out the following
statement:
1.-The change in temperature from
the warm weather which has pre-
vailed almost constantly since the
storm. on the Sth of September, to
very chilly wheather, which began
here two days ago, is causing great
suffering with thousands of homeless
people who are living in tents upon
the beach and dilapidated houses and
shacks, constructed out of the debris
of the storm. Tt will be almost a
miracle if pneumonia and kindred dis
ease do not follow the cold spell if it
continues.
"Appeals which were sent out for
building material have not met with
the same generous responses that fol
lowed the appeal for food and clothing
which went out Immediately after the
storm. The present apathy with
which the appeals for building ma
terial have been met is probably due
to certain rumors that were circulated
to the effect that Galveston had been
we'll supplied with provisions and
clothing that were sent forward in
large quantities and also to the feel
ing that seems to prevail generally
throughout the country that it would
be unwise to rebuild the city in the
face of a possibility of a recurrence of
the storm. 1t seems to be entirely
overlooked that the business houses
and about one-third of the dwelling
houses We're left standing, although
generally badly damaged. The city
with its vast business and over 80, DOC
inhabitants are here and must remain,
but the problem of providing shelter
or homes of a modern character for
the thousands who are homeless is
the most troublesome that confronts
the relief committee. The few thou
sands of dollars that the COMMITTEES
has been able to set aside for repairs
10 damaged buildings and constructing
others amounts to much less than five
per cent OF the actual needs of the
people in that direction"
