ney D. Barrett, police officer at Pena-

Miss Chadwick. in the meantime, had
FASTENED to the elevated car, which was to
bring her to this city. where she was en-
ployed in the telephone exchange.
Barrett ran through the streets in pur-
suit of Miss Chadwick, who, as she boarded
the electric car, pleaded with the motor

POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 1.
Executive Committee Of the Red Cross
Did Not Meet

Because of the absence Of Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary Bacon, the meet
ing Of the executive committee of the Red
Cross, called for today, was postponed
until October 1. In case Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bacon do not return from Havana before
that time the meeting will be again post
poned, as their attendance is especially de-
sired. It is the purpose Of the Red Cross
executive committee to decide as soon as
possible what disposition shall be made of
the $2,50OOOO San Francisco relief funds
which are still held in Washington. Judge
w. w. Morrow, president of the California
Red Cross, and Mr.. James D. Phelan,
chairman Of the incorporated finance COM
mittee Of relief and Red Cross funds, are
anxious that the money be turned over at
once to the relief committee, but Secretary
Taft and other members Of the Red Cross
executive committee do not feel that this
money should be given to the relief COM
mittee until it is known positively for what
purpose it Is to be used. Members of the
relief committee have shown a disposition
to pay claims with the money, but the gen.
eral officers of the Red Cross do not favor
such a plan and insist that funds for relief
work must not be diverted to the payment
of claims. It Is the desire Of the general
officers of the Red Cross that all money
subscribed for relief now held by them
shall be used to afford food and shelter
for the refugees encamped in the parks Of
San Francisco. AS winter is approaching,
the Red Cross executive committee feels
that 1t should be instrumental in providing
homes for earthquake sufferers who are
living temporarily In tents and have no
means of obtaining better shelter.
The Red Cross officers have advised the
relief committee that the delay in the meet
ing of the executive committee will in no
way prevent the relief of persons who are
in need Of food and other necessities as
the Red Cross treasurer has been instructed
to supply the California committee with
money necessary to meet the urgent de-
mands Of refugees.
