FORT MYER DONATIONS
GIVE WAY TO CLOTHES
Troopers Anxious to Give For Police

Soldiers at Fort Myer yesterday made
contributions toward the fund which is
being raised for the widow OF Police
man Smith. the Georgetown patrolmaD
who was shot by Cavalryman Young on
July T.
The list of names which had been
inscribed was held open until yesterday
as that was pay day at the fort. and tho
first opportunity for many Of the
troopers TO lend assistance TO the widow.
II is believed that about 81 90 will be
raised among the men. This IS. how
ever. much less than had been antici-
pated Not that there was a lack Of
inclination on the part OF the soldiers
On the contrary, the men were particu-
larry anxious 10 contribute. but Uncle
Sam is a hard master with al his good
qualities, and June was the dav
for the settlement Of all clothing bills
at the fort and money owed by the
men was taken out Of their salaries be-
fore the envelopes were turned over TO
salary at ALL as their bills edualed or
exceeded their regular stipend.
A more unprOpitiOus time for such a
collection could hardly have come about
and the men apparently regretted their
inability further 10 aid Mrs. Smith
more than any other reason for receiv-
Ing a small allowance. Some OF them
expressed their desire 10 add contrfbu-
tons when the opportunity presents it.

All that need be given, and. in fact. all

Since the Democrats held their con-

Great Gain and No Loss.
The splendid list of cash prizes is IN
doubtedly the largest which will ever

vantage of this especial opportunity to
win $1,000 at one clip 1t is a chance
which is not often presented to win

that a certain amount be paid for sub

demand for The Times. and the perana-
nency Of the popularity II is acquiring.
Full particulars Of this contest will be
found IN the regular advertisement
