Committee Has Raised 100000 For II
In Four Weeks.
New York. June 11.-The India famine
fund committee held Il meeting in Plym
outh church, Brooklyn, which was large
" attended by the public. After the
work of the committee was explained
collection was taken for the famine fund.
Robert c. Ogden said that in four weeks
the committee had raised 100000 and
that last Friday it sent $4,000 to India.
The Rev. DR.. l.. L. Chamberlain eX.
planned that India was not really very fan
away when cable message could be sent
there in 80 minutes and when any money
sent from America could be utilized in
India within two hours. He said that
the first contribution for the sufferers
came from a woman servant in Roches'
ter, who sent S6S.
The United Endeavor society of Mag
ara Falls, he said, had collected all kinds
of old india rubber goods, such as over
shoes, rubber shoppers, water bags, etc..
and after selling them for 1927 had turn
ed the proceeds over to the famine fund
The Rev. Horace Porter, assistant pastor
of the church, said in the course of his
address:
"Most people in this land are suffering
| from overlooking and not from under
| feeding. 1 can realize how things are in
India from my personal knowledge of af-
| fairs as | found them in Cuba just after
the war. Sixty millions of people are
actually suffering from the pangs of hun.
ger in India, while 20,000,0O0 are suffer

Railroad Mileage BooI Not Trans

Settled.

The Washington, D. c., Times, Of June
2, 1900, prints the following decision of
the Supreme Court of New Hampshire,
which will interest the holders of rail-
road mileage books:
The question as to whether railroad
company has the right to take up mile
age ticket limited to particular person
when presented by another person than
the one to whom the ticket was issued,
was decided in the affirmative by the
Supreme Court of New Hampshire, in
Eastman VS.. Maine Central Railroad (46
Att. Rep, 54). The plaintiff was accus-
toned to rent railroad mileage books at
an advance on their purchase price. The
conductor took one of these books from
a passenger who had purchased it from
the plaintiff, whereupon the plaintiff
sued to recover the amount originally
paid for the mileage book. But the court
denied his right to recover, holding that
the conditions on which the mileage
book was issued were not contrary to
law or pnblic policy, and that having
violated these conditions the law affords
the plaintiff no relief.

tain S1ayden and Lieutenant Stanley,
reached Washington from his home at
Rochester, where he stopped over TO
visit Mrs. Otis and his children. He was
met at the station by Adjutant General

Otis repaired to the war department,
where he formally reported to Mr.
Meiklejohn as acting secretary. Thence
General Corbin escorted him and his aids
to the White House.
General Otis made no report to the

in the Philippines in general way was
almost the sole theme touched upon. Inc
president was intensely interested IN
what the general had to say and with his
opinion of the existing situation III the

When General Otis left the White

"While there seems to be little doubt
that the differences between Russia and

war may begin.
Russia has pursued course which
can be construed only as an intended

there is nothing to indicate that war is
expected.
"Work on the Japanese navy is being

At the request of the Standard Oil
trust President Mckinley sent its
regular army into Idaho to shoot down

Crooked All Through.
Mr.. Mckinley was free silver man
in 1893, a bi-metallist in 1896 and a
single gold standard advocate in 1898.
He was champion of civil service in
1896, and two years later he discharged
5000 civil service appointees to make
place for political pets of Hanna and
Plat.
Through his pro-British secretary of
state he entered into a treaty with
Great Britain whereby the American
people were to dig Nicaraguan canal
and leave it defenseless to be used at
pleasure by John Bull.
He permitted the opening of special
mail matter to our consul at Pre-

"Forcible annexation is criminal ag-

He Immediately proceeded to i'm

did not possess and had not power to
deliver. The president has since that
time spent of the American peoples
money $2O0,O00,O00 trying to obtain
that for which he had paid $4,000
600. In this attempt he has only
succeeded in filling graves, hospitals,
insane asylums and fat insular jobs.
The end is not yet.
He has appointed more commissions
to carry out his unconstitutional pol
icy than all other presidents have
legally created. He is paying these
commissions in violation of the con-
stitution. (See article L, section 9,

These commissions have never done
anything beyond administering coats

President Mckinley is responsible

banker, who turned the treasury over

spirators, and for Griggs, whose sole
duty is to shield the robber trusts
from prosecution.
He is responsible for Hay, the Brit
