WILSON WORKING
As HARD As EVER
No Holiday Let Up for In
auguraI Chairman.
SECRETARY IS ALSO BUSY
Committee Gratifed at Announcement
That Fund Has Passed Fifty
Thousand Dollar Mark

Despite the presence in the air of the
Christmas spirit General Wilson and
Secretary Hitchcock, of the inaugural
committee are at their desks in the
committee headquarters in the New VIII
lard TO-DAY, working as hard as ever.
The correspondence is SO heavy that
neither the chairman nor the secretary
feel justified in indulging in the slight
est let-up. They will rest tomorrow. Of
course. but Monday viii be as busy a
day for them as any day they have
spent since their appointment.
The announcement of NJ. E. Allies,
treasurer, that the inaugural fund has
reached and passed the $50,009 mark is
gratifying to every member of the inaug-
ural committee and reflects credit upon
the efforts of C c. Glover, chairman OF
the committee on finance, and his asso-
ciates. At that, however. the fund is
not large as other inaugural funds
have been by the end of December, as
III 1900 E. Southland Parker had collect
ed $55, ,o00 by December % Mr. allies
now has S55.62 but he hopes 10 have
s60,oo0 within the next few days
Money VIII Be Needed.
The money will be needed, as the ex-
penses OF the inaugural committee will
naturally be heavy. General Wilson S
motto, BE economical without being
parsimonous, will control, but prices
have gone up IN the past four years.
