CLEVELAND IN CHAIR.
Ex-President Presides at National
Charities Meeting.

Philadelphia, May 10.--With for
mer President Grover Cleveland as the
presiding officer the opening meeting
of the thirty-third national conference
of charities and corrections was held
last night IN the Academy of Music.
The large auditorium was filled with
representatives Of organizations en-
work not only in this country but in
Canada and Europe and the ex-presi-
dent was given an enthusiastic wei
come as he appeared on the platform.
Among the many distinguished per-
sons present was Mrs. Cleveland, who
occupied a proscenium box. Mr..
Cleveland made the first address Of
the meeting and said IN part:
This national conference of ehari-
ties and corrections, in view of the OBJ
ject it seeks to accomplish. may well
be described as a general clearing
house of charitable and benevolent
work. Through its constituent agencies
it touches the individual and through
the betterment of the individual it
serves the nation. Ny thoughts dwell
upon the duty OF individual charities.
In sense. all that IS done in discharge
of this duty, whether done by individ-
uals or governmental agencies repre-
senung US. all may be said to rest in
personal responsibility and may be
traced to one source-a recognition
of the fact that in the field of charity
we are our brothers keeper The
field is so large and the labor is so
delicate that none of US can secure ac-
quaintance without personal service.
TT is this element of personal ser
vice represented in this national con-
ference that give the occasion its great
est importance and Significance.
I have sometimes wondered If those
active in charitable work fully appre-
ciated how extensively. under the guise
of charity, schemes are put on foot
that are either so illegitimateIy related
to it or so unimportant and imprac-
teal as to abundantly excuse a denial
Of their appeal for aid and I often
fear it is not realized as II should be
IN charitable circles that these schemes
are pretended so constantly and with
such impol tunity and so often prove to
be unworthy, disappointing or faddish.
as to DerDlex and discourage those
willing to give to sensible and prom
erly organized charity. It is thus that
quite frequently all charitable move
ments are discredited or .pretudfced =

He HTS The ARMY
SaIFatiOnists Come in for a
Scoring Today.
Mr.. SoIenberger Says Relief Is
Poorly Administered.
STATISTICS ARE BAD.
Work Is Largely Subservient to
Financial Interests.
Their Lodging Houses Not What
Is Claimed.

Philadelphia, May 10.-rhe first
business session of the thirty-third an
nual conference of charities and cor
rections opened today in Horticultural
hall. In a paper on Relief Work OF
the Salvation Army by Edwin B.
Solenberger. general manager OF the
Associated Charities, Minneapolis. he
declared that the social relief work of
the Salvation army as carried on
through It's homes, lodging houses and
other agencies is poorly organized and
poorly administered and that the $50
called charity work of the army is
largely subservient to financial inter
ests.'
Continuing, the speaker said:
"One of the chief difficulties in try
ing to arrive at definite conclusions
concerning the army's work is untrust-
worthiness of their statistics. probably
due largely to lack of uniformity in
recording and summarizing data
Most people have gained the i'm
preston that the army has a large
number of farm colonies and that
thousands of poor people from the
Sums have been transferred to them.
There are at present but three col
onies, one each in Ohio. Colorado and
California, having a total Of but $50
people.
THE Salvation Army maintains at
present ABOUT "A lodging houses in our
various cities. furnishing beds at the
rate of 10 and Is cents a. night IN its
appeals for funds the army speaks Of
lodging thousands of homeless and
most people gain the impression that
such lodgings are, in part at least. a
charity and that the accommodations
furnished are much superior to those Of
the ordinary cheap lodging house run
for private profit. Reliable information
from large number of typical Ameri-
can cities indicates that the system OF
cheap lodging houses conducted by the
army have ali the defects of the poorest
Of the privately owned lodging houses.
and few, If any. advantages over them
Recently, in an eastern city a Salvation
Army lodging house was closed when
the local board of health began to en-
force the sanitary ordinances, while
from widely separated cities come ac-
counts of specific glaring evils.
It is exceedingly difficult, said Mr.
/ Solenberger. ITO secure satisfactory in
formation about the financial affairs OF
the Salvation Army.
THE business affairs of the Salvation
Army are rapidly attaining large pro
portions and those who give financial
support to the Organization certainly
have right to expect clear financial

in it. This freight business is a hard
thing to handle at the best and I don't
think it would be the part of wisdom
to throw it open without any restric-
tions about it. Probably their hours
in the franchise are not what they
should be but 7 think that could be
fixed up in some manner
one of the largest merchants in the
city, who did not wish his name to be
used said: THE whole thing is wrong,
dead wrong. That's not the right move
for the Street Railway company to
make. Nobody wants to see these
streets lined up with freight cars
Think They Own the Council.
z. G. Glenn of the Fair: Il can't say
that it hurts my business, but I take a
broader look at it than that. there are
others whose interests are injured. I
would be in favor of restricting them
entirely rather than to see this amend
ment go through"
This street railway thinks that it
owns the council and that it can get
anything through that 1t wants to now
since they got that ordinance killed. -
said Councilman William Green. You
come right down to it there is nothing
to prevent the council from forfeiting
its franchise right now. It says that
the franchise is to be forfeited if the
provisions are violated, but that is only
80 days after due notice has been given
in writing by the city that the violation
is taking place. If they don't violate
it after the notice the franchise can't
be forfeited. There is really no regu-
latiOn at all or penalty for violating the
hours named
