PREP AIRING FOR
| SYSTEMATIC WORK
Chamber Of Commerce Committees
Assigned to Districts and VIII
Begin Tomorrow.

There was large attendance at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday of the
committeeman appointed by President
Morris to raise relief fund for the Cal
! weston sufferers Deep interest was mani
tested in the movement, not only by those
who We're present, but by communications
from those whose enforced absence by
reason of sickness or leaving the city
prompted them to send expressions of
sympathy and> proffers of contributions
and service. President Morris said there
( was no need for any appeal to the SYM
pathy OF his hearers, but he would briefly
explain the work to bs done by the COM
mtttee. The business section OF the city
had been divided into forty-seven dis
trlcts. and over one hundred committee
men had been appointed to call upon the
business men in those districts. He fur
Their ased the subcommittee to enter upon
their work early Tomorrow, as reports
would be expected the evening of that
day, or. at the latest. on Tuesday morn
ing. so that the fund night be promptly
RENTED. He also called, attention TO a
communication received bJA him from Mr..
Henry NJ. Boykin. general agent OF the
Seaboard Air Line, advising that all con-
tributions of food and clothing would be
forwarded free by the Seaboard, so that
the committee might accept them, if par
ties desired to contribute in that way.
In conclusion he called attention to an
| arouse the sympathy of this community
or its generous response. ought yet 70 be
mentioned as indicating the feeling Of the
people of Galveston towards this city. be-
fore their great calamity. He referred TO
what had occurred at the last meeting of
Confederate, Veterans in Louisville, when
the ladies' of the Galveston Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy pledged q
larger fund for the erection of the Jeffer-
son Davis monument, at Richmond, than
the Chapter of any other city in the South
even including the Richmond Chapter.
Doubtless many of the noble women COM
prising the Galveston Chapter, and their
dear ones, have fallen victims to the aw-
full storm
Outside Of the carnage and desolatins
consequences OF war with which the an
nails of this city and the experiences of
many render US so sorrowfully familiar. no
event since the civil war. except the Capt.
toll disaster. has touched this community
so deeply and then the number of VIC
tins WAS comparatively small. and even
it's narrowing details were not such as
those in Galveston. The intensity OF that
{ peoples sufferings cannot fail to make US
feel nearer to them
