RAISING A FUND.
Efforts to Save Home for Late Lieut..
Moore's Family,

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent Of police,
says he will make a move next week in the
matter of raising a fund for the relief of
the widow of Lieut.. James A. Moore. He
told a Star reporter today that he will en-
deavor to arrange a revolver match be-
tween local associations and ask the Com
missioners for permission to dispose of
tickets. In this way, he says. he hopes to
raise fund which will materially assist
the widow and her children in their eff
forts to pay what they owe upon the house
in which they live. 1t is highly probable
that the Police Association of which Lieut.
Moore was a member, will assist in the
matter of raising a fund.
Mr.. Frank p. Madigan and Mr.. Frank p.
Hall, business men who had known Lieut.
Moore for many years, started a fund on
behalf of the merchants two days ago by
contributing $40 each. Maj. Sylvester says
that the police department will act as Gus
todian of the fund and will receive and
acknowledge contributions sent from any
source.
for $40 to be used in assisting to pay off
the mortgage of 81 500 on the home of the
family of the late lieutenant. 1t will be
turned over to the parties having custody
of the fund In the course of his letter
transmitting the check, Mr.. Hopkins said:
HE was a noble soul, and the character
of his service for the citizens of this Dis
trict was such that / hope others may feel
that 1t Is a privilege to help to make secure
the home of his widow and children"
