FOR PURCHASE OF HOME
UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS
RAISING MONEY.
President Roosevelt q Contributor
Gen. Greedy Commends Project and
Also Contributes to Fund.

Renewed efforts are being made by men,
bers of the United Spanish War Veterans
to raise by subscription a fund with which
to purchase building to be used as head
quarters for the society. The pledges SO
far received, it is said. aggregate $1,000.
while the amount needed to carry out the
wishes Of the veterans of the Spanish

partment; Col. James l., Petit and Gen.

Gen. Greedy wrote:
Il concur in recommending all possible
assistance to needy veterans of the Span
ish-American war"
1t is stated by those in charge of the fund
that some of the subscriptions have been
received for use in connection with either
the building fund or relief fund, as circum-
stances permit while others have definitely
specified to which fund their subscriptions
should be accredited. The association has
already done great deal of charitable
work. Various charity organizations are
formed to look after certain classes of in
digent people. The Spanish War Veterans
say they hope to provide for the needy
among their comrades

For headquarters and a home the young
veterans have in view the house at 10 9th

building is equipped with parlors, smoking
rooms. large halls for meeting purposes,
committee rooms and kitchen. Actively
in charge of the work of soliciting sub
scriptions are Messrs. Alexander Campbell
and John H. Ashworth, who have been
deputized for the purpose by the COM
mander of the order, DR.. s. Clifford Cox
Of this city. Mr.. William r. Stone, jr.,
quartermaster, department of the District
of Columbia, is acting as treasurer Of the
fund.
The movement to secure q home for the
organization was begun under Major f. S.
Hodgson. while the latter was corps COM
mander A number of buildings have been
suggested as suitable for headquarters since
then, but nothing definite came in view I'M
til the present quarters were secured. The
veterans are hopeful that the rented house
may soon become their own property
through the assistance of their friends in
the District.
