ASSOCIATED FUND
OF CHARITIES
IS GROWING FAST

A number of additional subscriptions
swelled the relief fund started by the
Associated charities of Los Angeles
yesterday.
From the report made last night the
fund had reached $3.50 in cash and about
the same amount in provisions.
The Garvanza residents We're promi-
nent among the relief workers yester-
day. Early in the day a meeting of the
women was called at the First M. e.
church and $50 cash was secured at
once. The women then INDUCED in a
cooking bee and number of great dry
goods boxes of provisions of every sort,
all of cooked foods, were prepared and
sent to the Associated charities.
Ten boxes of good clothing and blan-
kets were secured and were sent north
under the direction of the charities for
distribution.
Mrs. Briggs of Griffith avenue Sc
cured large quantities of cooked stuff,
clothing and some money from neigh
bors and this helped out in the relief
sent north.

sent home with instructions to prepare
packages of lunches and bring clothes
and bedding to the schools where they
would be collected. The response to
this suggestion surprised the Native
Sons. Where they had expected to Sc
cure a wagonload from two or three
schools they secured numbers of wa
gonloads from each school. 1t took
125 teams and many automobiles all
day yesterday to collect the goods left
at the schools More than 100000 boxes
of lunch were secured in this way and
these were packed by the Native Sons
relief committee at their headquarters,
211h West Second street. The street
was practically blockaded all day long
with the vast quantities of goods re-
ceived. At these headquarters two hun
dred women were engaged in packing
the goods into crates and one hundred
men were kept busy mailing up these
crates. AS fast as they could be trans
ported to the freight stations they were
loaded onto cars and sent north.
San Jose was not neglected. Two car
loads of provisions We're sent to that
city yesterday via Oakland. This ship
ment was from the chamber of COM
merce organization.
Headquarters of refugees have been
opened at the reading room of the

SAN PEDRO GIVES
BLANKETS AND
MONEY TO FUND
Special to The Herald.

SAN PEDRO, April 2O.-The request
for help for San Francisco sufferers
will receive warm support in San Pc
dro. Already over $1,000 has been
raised. The city council started the
ball to rolling by ordering warrant
drawn on the treasury for $780, Bert
Mackley went the rounds of the saloons
and raised 5000 in an hour. The fire de-
partment gave $100 and the First Ma
tional bank $100, besides many small
contributions.
The different orders of the city will
all raise funds which will be given to
the common one and the school chill
dren will contribute clothing tomorrow.
Little if any money will be sent to the
stricken city but necessaries of life
will be forwarded. One hundred blank
cts and 5000 worth of provisions have
already been purchased and will be
sent north tomorrow on the steamer
Francis II. Leggett. Probably the Rev.

committee has just begun it's good work
and will endeavor to keep it up as long
as its services are required. This is a
subcommittee of the general relief
committee of the chamber of commerce
organization of which M. H. Newmark
is chairman. All these goods are being
obtained at first cost price from the
wholesale houses, some of them are
much lower even than that and some
are donated altogether.
While this seems to be a great amount
of provisions, when the fact that spe-
cial trains are being sent to San Fran
cisco loaded with the same kinds of ma
terials from every part of the United
States, the committee wishes to impress
the fact that there are 100000 hungry
people in San Francisco to feed and
that they must be fed. not for one day
or one week, but probably a month or
more.
Cots Badly Needed
But according to a telegram from
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco one of
the crying needs is cots. The relief
committee has issued a general appeal
to every person in Los Angeles having
a cot to bring or send it to the chamber
of commerce. There are tens of thou
sands of homeless people sleeping in the
parks and the demand for cots has gone
all over the United States. The market
ordinarily is not overstocked with this
class of beds and every available cot in
the Los Angeles market has been pur-
chased and sent to San Francisco.
Women Are Baking
The relief committees appeal to the
women to bake bread was generously
responded to yesterday. Thousands Of
loaves were received. They came in
such countless numbers that no effort
was made to keep track of them. Those
who could not bake bought bread and
placed their offerings at the disposal
of the chamber of commerce and the
Native Sons. But the need Is as press
ing today as it was yesterday. Do not
weary in well doing is the urgent re-
quest the committee has issued to the
women of the city. Bake bread. Bake
more bread. Bake still more bread and
send your donations to the chamber of
commerce as quickly as possible. The
quicker they are brought the quicker
they can be shipped to San Francisco
and feed ravenously hungry human
beings.

her suffering sister cities of the north,
Yesterday was a day of organized con-
fusion. In spite of the confusion the
desired result was accomplished-that
of furnishing food, bedding and clothes
to the victims of the terrible disaster,
although no one central body directed
the movements of all the relief sup
plies.
1t was impossible to estimate the
exact amount in carload lots.
Supplies were picked up and hustled
into passenger cars, fiat cars, box cars
and any kind of conveyance on iron
wheels that could be depended on to
run behind an engine.

EFFORTS TO SECURE COMPLETE
INVESTIGATION
FRIENDS AT THE CAPITAL
Appear in Washington Armed With
Big Bunch of Affidavits to Show
That Darksy Soldiers Were Brave
and Orderly and Took No Part in
Shooting.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Gilchrist
Stewart, representing the Constitu
tional league and 145 of the soldiers
and Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris, pas
tor of the Abyssinian Baptist church
of New York city are in Washington
in the interest of the battalion of col
ored soldiers recently dismissed from
the service.
Stewart said the evidence he pre-
scented to the president embraced 172
affidavits, that they show that with
in five minutes after Major Penrose
ordered "call to arms every man
of the battalion answered roll call,
"and was under the direct supervi-
sion of white officers who verified
the roll call, making it impossible for
substitutions; that all the officers
and men thought that the firing was
being attacked by certain element
in the city which had threatened to
drive the colored soldiers out of the
city. Stewart says the afidavits
show that Penrose ordered the three
companies in position of defense on
the walls of the fort, each company
supporting the order, and Company
G staying on guard all night. He
contends that the evidence makes it
clear that an attempt was being made
not only to do the soldiers bodily
harm, but failing in that, to lay the
blame upon the soldiers both by
shooting up the town and then get
ting the government cartridges and
clips from the target practice grounds
and scattering them along the
streets.
He says the afidavits show that it
would have been impossible for any
soldiers to have gotten back into the
lines without being seen by the white
officers and adds that there were
threats by citizens to shoot colored
soldiers after II o'clock on the night
of the difficulty; that citizens were
dressed in the khaki uniform and
regulation hat and carried rifles,
being seen on the streets that night.
The men are asking as a result of
these affidavits that there be con-
gressional investigation by a com
mittee having power to subpoena
witnesses or that the president might
take steps to restore them to the
army without prejudice.

Most diseases start in the alimentary

A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any Of

are digested in the small intestines, and
if we eat too much. as most of us do,
the organs that should digest this kind
of food are overcome by excess of work,
so that fermentation, Indigestion, and
a long train of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated.
