HELP FOR STARVING JAPS
President Asks Aid For Famine
Stricken Japanese.
SITUATION HAS BECOME SERIOUS
Thousands in the Northern Section
Are Said to be on the Verge OF
Starvation.

President Roosevelt took official
cOgniZance Of the famine which has
grown to such serious proportions in
Northern Japan. In an appeal to the
American people, the President re-
quested that contributions for the suf
ferers from the famine be forwarded
to the American National Red Cross.
The appeal, which was made public
by Secretary Loeb, is as follows:
"The famine situation in Northern
Japan Is proving much more serious
than at first supposed and thousands
of persons are on the verge of star
vation. II is a calamity such as may
occasionally befall any country. Ma
tions, like men, should stand ever
ready to aid each other in distress,
and | appeal to the American people
to help from their abundance their
suffering fellowmen of the great and
friendly nation of Japan. recon-
mend that contributions for this pur-
pose be sent to the American Nation
al Red Cross, which will forward such
funds to the Japanese Red Cross to
be used as the Japanese government
may direct. Contributions can be
made to the local Red Cross treasur-
ers or sent direct to Charles Hallam

Demand For Steel Far Exceeds Out
put Leading Industries Falling
Further Behind With Deliveries.

Weather conditions have continued
TO stimulate retail trade in season
able merchandise, part of the earlier
unsatisfactory results being Offset by
vigorous demand for winter cloth
ing and footwear, while household
consumption of fuel has revived re-
tail trade, SO that coal dealers win
not carry over as heavy stocks ut
the end OF the season as was mdi-
Gated by last months business. Nor
has the possibility of a strike unset
tied confidence in the future job
bing and wholesale sales of dry goods
for the spring trade reaching great
er aggregate than last year, and col
lections are prompt in most instan-
ces.
Manufacturers in most leading in
dustries are falling further behind
with deliveries, particularly in the
steel business, while increased ca
pacity has not kept pace with require
ments. As to foreign trade, prelim
mary statistics of exports in January
fell short of the month preceding, but
promise to surpass all records for the
corresponding month in previous
years, while for the last week at New
York exports were s2,91l 1896 larger
than a year ago, but imports declin-
ed Sl,74l $50.
Railway earnings in the first week
of February were 2i.5 per cent larg-
er than in the same week OF 1905, but
prices of securities We're somewhat
irregular because of the firmer money
market and heavy new bond issues.

EXTRA SESSION ENDED.
All Measures Except the Civil Ser
vice Bill Passed.

The extra session OF the Pennsyl
yania Legislature, which met Jan. Is,
concluded its work and adjourned
Feb. Is. All of the legislation ad-
yocated by the Governor passed with
the single exception of the State civil
service bill, which failed in the house
after having passed the Senate.
One of the last acts o. the session
was the adoption Of resolution for
an investigation of the Philadelphia
G Reading Railroad Co. The resolu-
tion authorizing this investigation
must be signed by the Governor be-
fore it becomes effective.
Two bills-Greater Pittsburg and
the insurance commissioners salary
measure-have been signed by the
Governor. The Philadelphia Grip
per" repeater will be allowed to be-
come a law by default. Among the
other legislation which has been en-
acted and which has not yet received
executive approval is the following:
Senatorial and Representative ap-
portionment; uniform primary cleo
tions; Philadelphia civil service; lin
iting the amount to be expended by
the State annually for the erection OF
bridges: personal registration for
cities; State Treasury regulations, and
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
salary bill. The two salary bills wipe
out the fees of the offices of the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth and In
surance Commissioners. The Gov
ernor has 80 days in which to dispose
of the legislation left with him.
The cost Of the session was about
100000. Senators and Representa-
tives are entitled to $500 each for
their services. This was the first ex-
ira session since 1883.

GOT PACKAGES MIXED
Clerk Gives Customer Money Instead
of Suspenders.

David Jones, a colored man, walk

penders costing % cents. He made
the purchase just as the woman cash
Ter was wrapping up the days re-
ceipts to take to the bank She used
the same kind of paper to wrap up
the money and the suspenders and
got the two packages mixed. AS a
result the colored man got an even
1000 and the girl gave the suspend
ers to the manager to take to the
bank.
After the mistake was discovered
the whole store force turned out to
watch trains and depots, but to no
avail. At O'Clock Jones walked in
to the store with the money, his
wife having discovered the mistake
on opening the package.
