The distressing conditions prevailing In
Topeka and the river valley adjacent have
got beyond our means to meet. Any con-
tributions you can make will be gratefully
received
''In view of this grave condition, now,
therefore, call upon the charitable people
of Indianapolis TO respond to this call for
relief and urge immediate response. The
emergency is great. Men, women and chill
dren are suffering and dying. Let Indian
apolis be true to herself. Arrangements
have been made to have contributions re-
ceived by Charles E. Coffin, president of
