FLOOD OF MONEY
WILL DE EXPENDED WISELY ~
RELIEF OFFICIALS.
ARMY DISTRIBUTES FOOD

Red crsss and cItIxsns' Committee Act
Together Relief Fund Reaches
Four and ons-HaH Millions and
still Coming.
San Trancisco.-What to do with
the immense amount Of money that has
been contributed to the relief of San
Francisco's homeless was the question
that received earnest consideration by
all those now engaged In this all-im-
portant work. So many inquiries had
come to the heads Of the various de-
partments, civil and military, all ask
ing how and by whom the money 30
generously contributed would be ex-
pended, that the Associated Press was
asked to communicate to the country
at large the plan for disbursing those
funds. and the assurance that every
dollar would be put to the use for
which 1t was intended.
All expenditures will be authorized
by the finance committee Of the citi-
zens and Red Cross funds. The mem
bers of this committee are representa-
tive bankers, business men and jurists
National Red Cross Society. This
committee will audit all accounts and
make detailed report to the War De-
partment, where final audit and state
ment will be made.
At noon Thursday the distribution OF
food to the city of San Francisco was
formally turned over to the United
States army, which will act under the
system already described. Under this
system many of the abuses that have
prevailed in the giving out of supplies
by the various local and outside relief
organizations, each of which has acted
independently of all others, will be dis
continued and the direction of all the
stations will be centralized in the de
pot Of the quartermaster of the army
at this post under Major Duval.
The reports from the leading hos
pitfalls at the Preside and at Colder
Gate park to-day showed that the
number of patients is less than yester'
day. At the general hospital in the
Preside there were $50 patients Thurs.
day, which is 200 less than the day bo.
fore. The decrease is probably due
to the fact that the privi-
|lege of free transportation over
the railroads of any part OF the

Probably the most important step
that has been taken in this country
during the last decade has been in the
direction of reclaiming arid and semi
arid lands by means Of irrigation.
Vest tracts In the west and middle
west are now richly productive that
once were considered worthless for
raiSing crops. Deserts formerly given
over to meager brush and cactus are
now wonderfully fruitful fields and
gardens. In this development the de-
partment OF agriculture has been a
most potent factor. 1t has realized
the dreams of the pioneers that were
considered visionary and impractical.

Why Frenchwomen Dress Wei,

faris Letter to London Telegraph
Cheap fashions In Paris.d do not mean cbaan
nnery, and that is,why Frenchwornen dress
wen. When they want finery they nav for
II. ana when they can't afford 1t thew go
without and dress according to their means.
Ihat Is the whole secret They dress. as
wen, relatively. on s10 $50 a year as on
4i,oo0 $4,000. The style is everything. and
that-within limits-is as accessible TO a
short as to long purse
Experts say that the very cheapest dress
which a Partisan shop girl can buy-one at
l9s ooc.. for instance--has style about 1T
and is In the fashion. Would she find its
equivalent in England2 In Paris It is an
axiom that there is only one fashion for
rich and poor alike, and East End hats
and coster-gfrl modes have no French equiv
alent whatever. 1t is true that the French
girl deyotes two-thirds of her life as a
rule to the study of dress She knows
within week or so what the great ladies
are wearing, and, while carefully refraining
from aping their luxury, she follows their
fashions closely. In short, she asks for
style without finery. She would no more
think OF going to her work In an unfash-
toI ably cut dress than she would of hang
ing cheap ribbons sham lace and tin orna-
ments round herself. Hence her own spe-
cial shops must keep as much up-to-date
as the great couturters.

Fisk Favors Pardon.

Judge Fisk Of Grand Forks has
signed an application to the state
pardon board for accumulation
Of the sentence of j. II. Taylor,
alias G. H. Foster, serving seven
and a half years in the pen for
robbing J. E. Perry on a Great
Northern train in card game.
There we're three men involved.
G. III. Bradford got nine and a
half years and r. G. Hicks eight
and a half. The men got Perry
into a game and snatched his
money, which they were forced
to return by the conductor.
Foster was the least implicated
of the trio, and as he has served
two years, Judge Fisk agreed to
sign a petition for a commuta-
tion to a three and a half years
term. Foster has some relatives
who are nice people. He also
has a young wife.
Bradford and Hicks were tried
at Devils Lake because they re-
fused to be tried by Judge Fisk.
Many people believe that the
man Perry was not theinnocent,
unsuspecting old guy he pretend
ed to be, and that he was IN the
game to win if he could, and was
a swift trotting old sport him
self, who squealed because he got
the worst of it. The railroad
detectives then made the most
out OF the case they could.
