Native Sons to Provide Fund to Assist
Fellow Members.

The Native Sons have organized a
State board of relief, with headquart-
ers in Native Sons Hall, at the corner
of Geary and Cough streets Each
member of the organization will be
assessed cents to provide a fund,
and it is thought that we'll do mem
bers will make additional contribu-
tions. To facilitate the work, the
State has been divided into five dis
tricts, and an active campaign will be
made to bring the plan to success
full fruition.
The distribution of the fund will
be made through Native Son officials.
No applicant will be given assistance
until careful investigation of his case
has been made. The help will be given
in the form of weekly benefits.

tee then had of the last appropriation,
made on Friday of last week, bank
balance of sS,74S03 For the present
the committee will stop giving money
for finishing houses and has slowed up
on the plan of establishing people in
business.
Chairman Dohrmann of the rehabilita-
tion department sounded the note OF
warning last week when he pointed
out that it was possible to exhaust
the entire relief fund within ninety
days. Since Mr.. Dohrmanns warning
economy has been the watchword at
relief headquarters.
In to Wednesday night the rehabili-
tation committee had acted upon 1886
applications for assistance. represent
ing 1926 persons. OF the s2s3,605S5
expended in the work se2, has
gone for tools; s166,692.35 in house
hold establishment; S67.123.55 for
business enterprises, and $37,694.30 for
special relief OF these sums sss,ss245
is pledged TO be paid back into the
fund, but only s92S.S5 is secured.
AS has been said, the entire fund
in the hands of the Relief Corporation
has been appropriated for housing pur-
poses. In addition to this there is
about $4,000 900 that has not yet been
turned over to the corporation. OF this
s1.S0o,000 is in the Red Cross fund
at Washington. The money will be
tember. But of the approximate bal
ance of $4,000 600, held at Boston and
New York, the disposition is not clear.
Should this money be withheld from
the corporation and expended through
special agents from New York and
Boston the Relief Corporation would
find itself seriously handicapped.

CANCELLED TICKETS MAKE SCENE
Refugees at jefferson Square Who Had
HOarded Meal Checks AnRercd.

Meal tickets boarded In the hands of
refugees led to something of a dis
turbance at Jefferson Square yester-
day. On Wednesday the new tickets
went into effect, and all unused tick
cts of former issues became void Then
lit developed that hundreds of tickets
have been boarded in the hands of
those who have been receiving aid. A
head of a family, for example, entitled
to five tickets per meal, would con-
Itinue to draw tickets after part Of his
family had left the camp. The extra
tickets thus secured would be traded
for luxuries in some cases and saved in
others The canceling of the old tick
cts left a large number OF persons with
worthless tickets on their hands
Yesterday at Jefferson Square they
demanded to know the reason why.
Superintendent Sullivan succeeded with
some difficulty in explaining the new
rule. The hoarders finally subsided,
convinced but dissatisfied.

ENFORCING ECONOMY.
Relief Corporation Realizes That It's
Fund May Easily BE Exhausted.

The work of rehabilitation has

on hand, with other expenses running
into thousands Of dollars daily, re-

a temporary setback. Originally 1t

REV. MooRE's HARD LUCK.

Rev. Samuel Moore. our beloved

Mrs. Moore woke up her husband and
said. "S-h-h! think there is burgu-

Rev. Moore was for going to sleep
again. He said there wasn't cent in
the house and the burgulars was well
come to all they could find. Mrs.
Moore however, was nervous, so at
last the pastor arose and started down
stairs to investigate. He was in his
bare feet and durn near broke his toe
on the stair case, but he said nothing
and proceeded down stairs in the dark.
When he entered the kitchen with his
hands before him he straddled the
door which was standing half open.

square on the nose. smashing same

lit a lamp. He thinks his nose must
have bled a quart and it panied him
terrible. The noise which Mrs. NJ.
heard was made by the cat, which had

the cellar and was helping herself.
Rev. Moore kicked the cat outen the
house, and after he had bandaged up
his nose and returned to bed.
In speaking of the matter later Rev.
Moore says he always endeavors to
lead Christian life. but II he could of
cut loose and swore when he run into
that door he thinks it would have been
a great comfort to him. No doubt it

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-There
was a very fair supply of cattle on this
market last week and average quality
was good. The demand was rather bet
ter than proceeding week and the
movement a little more active, but not
much change In values one way or the
other. A good many beef steers were
offered here and packers were very
goou bu.ers, but they prefer the light
weight kinds and the heavier stun was
a little slow. A bunch of eastern Colo
RADIO corn-fed steers sold al Si.15, with
others at $40, and most of the better
killing grades at $3.50 and up. Cows
were in good demand. but supply not
very heavy. Best corn-feds sold at
81 10, and most of the fair TO good kill
ing cows at $500 to $500. Common
cows were a little slow. Bulls were
fairly active and little change from a
week ago in the situation. Feeder and
stocker supply was very light and not
much business done. The demand was
very good for the good kinds. Choice
stockers have the call, but there is also
d very good demand for good heavy
feeders, and several dealers have or
ders.
The hog supply was fair last week.
but not as heavy as preceding week.
The light run has enabled packers to
get in better shape to handle hogs and
demand will be very fair this week.
Prices are about dime lower than a
week ago, tops now selling around
sG.22k-
The demand for sheep was good last
week, but few came TO this market.
Ewes sold up to $3.50, against $3.50
the preceding week, market being 20
to % cents higher. Lambs are also
close to so cents higher. There is a
strong demand for good sheep and
lambs on this market.
