California and some of the Southern
California exhibits. His only COM
ment as he hurried along was as he
passed the Kings County display.

Fund Raised for Woman With Nine
Children on Her Way to
California

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Among the
arrivals on the Baltic to-day was Mrs.
Marion Kring. who with her nine chill
dren is on her way from Budapest to
California. Soon after leaving Queens
town she discovered that the 1900
kroner (about $3.50. which she had con-
cealed in her dress, was missing. The
woman was in great distress as the
money had been sent by her husband
In California to pay the passage of his
family across the continent.
News of Mrs. Krings loss reached
the passengers in the first cabin and a
subscription was started with the re-
suit that s225 was raised and given the
woman. Her delight was so great that
soon the whole steerage knew about the
collection and then Mrs. Sylvia VenteH,
who had seven children with her, dis
covered that she, too, had lost money.
This story. too, reached the first cabin,
but unfortunately for Mrs. Ventell the
subscribers to the other rund got the
idea that an epidemic of robbery was
on the point of breaking out in the
steerage and were 10th to encourage it.
