to Restore California
Buildings.
tAssociated Press Cablegrams.)
WASHINGTON, May 8.-Sec-
retary of the Treasury Shaw has
asked for an appropriation of
S75o,ooo to repair public build
ings in California.

Although it is not so stated in the
cablegram, this appropriation is proba-
bly, intended to be used for the repair
and reconstruction of the public build
ings damaged by the fire and earth
quake in California 1t is known here
that the new postofice on Mission
street was seriously damaged, and al
though it has been stated that the Ap-
praiser s building, at Sansome and
Washington, was not hurt, it is proba-
bic that it has also been found to have
suffered somewhat. The postofIice at
the Ferry, of course, was very seriously
shaken, and there are likewise many
buildings at the Preside and at the
military stations around the Bay that
may be presumed to be shattered
Further than this, there are buildings
belonging to the United States in Oak

THE HOWARD ASSOCIATION
w. N. Coffey, Field Repre-.
sentative, Tells of its
Work and Presents
its Claims.

VIM. N. Coffey, Field Representa-
tive of the Central Howard Associa.
|.tion of Chicago, was in the city over
Sunday looking to the interests
of the Society. He spoke in the
Congregational church in the morn
ing and in the Methodist church in
the evening. The object of the as
ISOLATION, as stated in the annual
report of it's work, has in view the
reformation of ex-prisoners. To
this end Mr.. Coffey and other gen
tlemen are delegated TO represent
the Association to visit communi-
ties, awaken public sentiment in be-
half of the worthy ex-prisoner and
to secure them employment; to en-
courage measures for the continued
improvement of prison buildings
and dicipline. particularly in coun-
ty jails and city prisons, where it is
most needed; to facilitate the organ
ization of local and state prisoners
aid societies and to act as bureau
of cooperation between them.
AS a result of the work in 1905
412 ex-prisoners applied for help
from the Association, of which
number 275 were new applications.
Of these cases SO per cent were sue
cessful. Of these men 81 were un-
der twenty-one years of age. Of
men of sixth grade schooling or
below that grade there were 242; of
men above sixth grade schooling
there were 10.
During the year lis state and
county prisons were visited by rep
resentatives of the association and
498 addresses were made in behalf
of the association.
This association has accomplish
ed much good and it should be en-
couraged in its work. 1t is a char
liable organization, deriving the
funds for it's expenses from the vol
untary donations of individuals. In
giving employment and other prac-
teal help to the ex-prisoner it keeps
him from becoming a second offend
er and induces him to reformation
and to good citizenship. Ninety per
cent of the men aided in the past
have become good citizens.
Mr.. Coffey was here a year ago
and called the attention of the
JOURNAL to the unsanitary condi-
tion of our jail. AS result of his
visit the Jail was renovated and
otherwise made more inviting(?),
work which was commended by him
on his last visit.
Mr.. Coffey went to Ellsworth
Monday on the same mission that
called him here. He wishes the
JOURNAL to extend his grateful ap-
probation of the kindness and con-
sideration shown him by the people
of River Falls.
