THE III. HANS
!. HONE AFFAIR
THE STCR* OF GRAFT AROSE
THRCUii a AND
iNG-NEARLY $1,000 RAISED
FOR THE CHllDREN'S LIBRARY.

During tle past few days there has
been considerable excitement and :,
NEWSPAPER comment over the fact 8
that money was collected in Reno for
the Orphans Home which was sup
posed to have been unauthorized and
unaccounted for.
It now transpires that DR.. Henn"ssy
and Rev. s II. Jones were the parties
who collected the money and 1t is atl'
accounted for The misunderstanding
arose from the fact that they did not
notify the Home board of their inten-
ton and when Mr.. Josephs notified
people IN Reno that he had never re-
ceived the money, all sorts of wild
runners were set afioat which reflect :,
cd uniustly upon the parties conduct
ing the enterprise.
The following is renublisheo frC.n
the Journal in justice to all parties
concerned:
Orphans Of Nevada will be given a
haD2v New Year. they viii receive
gifts from Eeno and fne reputation Gf
the reputation Of the generosity #
The rsidenis here will ba upheld. The
boxes which were placed in the stores
and hotels about the city were nearly
all collected yesterday, and the mon
ey in them will be given to commit
tee of prominent local women for use
in purchasing presents for the home
less boys and girls.
It was at first planned to make the
collection before Christmas for Santa
Claus day, but the short time the
boxes were put out catised the Or
ganizers of the scheme to decide 20
leave the boxes out another few days.
When the collections we're counted
yestrday by DR.. Hennessy and Rev.
S. H. Jones $117.95 was gathered But
there are other boxes yet to be open
ed. and the amount will doubtless be
increased. Besides the money
