RELIEF FUND To
Be SENT INTACT
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS WILL
BEAR ALL EXPENSE
Money Collected for Stricken Jews
In Russia VIII BE TeIesraphed
to New York by II.
w. HeIlman

The fund for the relief of the Rus
sian Jews had reached nearly $4,000
last evening. d. A. Hamburger, who
is treasurer of the relief committee,
states that the money collected will be
telegraphed to New York at the end
of the week, and any one wishing to
help in the cause should do so as soon
as possible, as the donation list will
soon be closed. II. w. Hellman has
volunteered to telegraph the money
order east at his personal expense,
thereby making the distribution of the
funds gratis from the first until the
last of its journey across seas to be
distributed to the wounded, hungry
and homeless.
The money from New York will in
turn be cabled to Baron Rothschild in
London, where 1t will again be cabled
to his agents in Russia, who will per-
sonally superintend it's distribution to
the needy. Mr.. Hamburger does not
know how the fund will be given,
whether in furnishing provisions and
repairing the wrecked homes, or
whether the money will be given out
right. The funds subscribed will reach
only worthy persons, and that In the
best manner possible under the exist
ing circumstances.
Both Jews and Gentiles are giving
literally and it is expected to send
over $4,000 from Los Angeles.
A memorial service will be held Sum-
day evening at the Synagogue Beth
Israel, when additional funds will be
subscribed Addresses will be made
by DR.. Hecht and DR.. Myers. A second
mass meeting will be held next week
at Columbia hall, the date for which
has not been announced.

FEMININE DAVID HARUM AGAIN
SELLS BAYS, SAYS LATEST VICTIM

man in the buggy with me asked me
where 1 got them: I told him and he
said: You made a bad investment;
those horses are no good. I am an
attorney. II you go back to the house
with me I'll see IL we can't make her
give you back the money so back we
went
"The man did the talking with her,
while stood in the background.
Pretty soon he came back and told
me there was no use in foolinR with
her, as she said she had the drop on
us, and that the bays had been an
eyesore to her for q long time and
was glad to get rid Of them. He then
advised me to compromise with her
and sell them back for $50. But
wouldn't stand for any such game. 1t
was $3.50 back or not a cent with me-"
Mrs. Gertrude McCrimmons, when
pleased with all the advertising she
was getting from the papers.
Mrs. Mecrlmmons Laughs
you see, suckers never read the
papers, and It just helps to increase
business for me-" she said, laughing.
Because she did not know the names
Of any of her customers she refused
to discuss the alleged transaction with
Fishel. Likewise she denied that she
ever recommended her horses to the
opinion of DR.. Crandall. She claimed
she did not even know DR.. Crandall
was a veterinary surgeon. "He only
has a lot of dogs to my knowledge"
she declared, still laughing.
Look here" she commenced, 'if
these suckers are willing to buy the
horses without finding out what they
are getting, why l am going to sell to
them," she said, and laughed some
more.
Say, fellow" put in her husband,
stretched out on nearby couch,
suppose you'd go into a furnishing
store and ordered a silk shirt and
found that they had cheated you when
you unwrapped 1t at home and palmed
off a cotton shirt on you instead-would
you go back and make holler about
it?"
When convinced that the reporter
would do just that McCrimmons said
something about mot being game"
and added, that's just what these
suckers get.'
Fishel called at the office of the pros
ecuting attorney yesterday afternoon,
but because the attorneys could get
no corroboration of his charges against
the woman Fishel decided to drop the
case at present. He said he would
keep the horses so that no one else
would have to suffer by them for a
time at least

CHARLES FISHEL BUYS TEAM
OF WINDBRoKEN BAYS
Complains to Prosecuting Attorney Of
Mrs. Gertrude MecrImmons, but
No Case Is Made Against
the Woman

Mrs. Gertrude McCrimmons again
to the limelight.
A week ago she sold two wind
broken BAYS to David B. Low for S240.
A few minutes later, when Low dis
covered that 1t was a case of the sur
vival of the unfit, two livery stable
keepers-Harry A. Ashton and #. r,
Doyle-offered to purchase them at &c
per cent discount. Low agreed, but
was paid only $110. A vicious fight en-
sued. Low was knocked out, and on
recovery had the men arrested on a
charge of battery. Doyle and Ashton
are now serving 100 days on the chain
gang.
Charles Fishel, a rancher and team
ster of Tropico, is the latest victim of
modern David Harums. Fishel, like
Low, answered an advertisement. He
declares the two bays were the re-
suit. Only the David Harum, in pet
ticoats, has come down in the prices
of the horses. Fishel claims that he
paid her $3.50 for them and that he did
so at the recommendation of an en-
ploye In the office of DR.. r. II. Gran
dali, a veterinary surgeon at 1864 West
Washington street.
Bays Break Down
when / purchased the horses /
hitched them to a buggy and started
down the street." said Fishel yester-
day, but / had gone only little dis
tance when a man stopped me and
asked me IL he could ride down with
me. l consented, but we had gone
only a short distance when the horses
broke down.
Before buying the bays 1 was told
by the woman that 1 should not take
her word for their soundeness, but con-

With a large increase in the
amount of petroleum and it's pro-
ducts shipped abroad during Jan
uary. there was a small decline IN
the value. The fact was due to the
declining market. The January
exports exceeded those of Decem-
Der by nearly 100000 gallons,
but less money was obtained for
them than in December by over
100000.
In December less oil was sent
abroad than during any month
since last May and, owing to a de-
clining market, there was heavy
decrease in the values. In fact,
the value for December was the
smallest of any month of the past
year, while for December, 1908, it
was the greatest for that year.
April was the banner month of
1904 in both the amount and
valuation of petroleum exports
and ranked in value only little
below the record set by the pre-
ceding December. The valuation
for April was nearly $7,5OO,OOO

and in four other months, viz.
June, July, September and Octo'
Der, the valuation exceeded ST.,
100000. Compared with these
months, the loss during January
was $1,50O,000, or about $4,000
a day.
The refined market which, at
the beginning of 1905, was quoted
at go cents per gallon for "A de-
gree Abel test, steadily declined
until September, when a small adj
vance occurred. Another reduc-
ton followed in December, which
brought the market down to 7.65
cents per gallon for barreled oil
and 4.75 cents for oil in bulk at
the close of the year. During
January Of the present year, there
was another drop Of 40 points,
and the month closed with oil in
barrels at 7 :25 and in bulk at 4.35
cents per gallon. These are the
lowest quotations since Septem-
Der, 1902. For January, 1904, the
average price of refined oil was

Ohio Oil Likely TO !
Advance in Price

building hundreds of big storage
tanks, when the Legislature there
attempted to dictate what price
should be paid for Sunfower oil.
AS an instance, six months ago
South Neodesha, Kan, oil brought
5 cents more than Lima and In.
diana Today it is rated Is cents
below these products, while the
other oils of the State range on
down as low as 20 cents. But this
has always occurred in new fields
before facilities were ready to
care for the petroleum. Lima oil
shortly after it's discovery, sold
as low as Is cents a barrel. But
with Kansas wiped off the Stand
ards oil map, the products of the
central States will undoubtedly
soar, and old time activity will be
in evidence in Ohio, Indiana, Ken
tuky and West Virginia.
Men familiar with the Stand
ards methods believe it will sim
ply ignore the State. They cite a
Lima instance. When the great
trust was building it's storage
tanks here, G. D. Critics, then
County Auditor, made a ruling
that oil in storage tanks should
be taxed. The next day orders
were issued by the Standard to
stop all tank building, and since
then not a storage tank has been
built in Allen county, while the
trust went into Hancock and
Wood counties and built hun
