Women's League Sent Over
One Hundred Pairs of BIan-
ketS to Sufferers.
STILL MORE TO FOLLOW
CANNED FOOD AND CLOTHING
ARE NOW BEING COLLECTED
AND THEY WILL BE SHIPPED
THIS WEEK.

Bound for San Francisco, consigned
to the thousands of destitute and suf-
fering human beings who are home
less as a result of the terrible disas-
ter of last week, large box contain
ing over one hundred pairs of heavy
woolen blankets was shipped yester-
day afternoon on a fast freight train
by the Women's League of Richmond.
This is the first form of relief that
has gone from this city, but it will
be followed later, today and tomor-
be gathered together, with other and
larger boxes of goods which will
cheer the people of the stricken cities.
The League is working along inde-
pendent lines, but it is accomplishing
great good. The money which has
been received in contribution is being
expended here and the articles which
are purchased are dispatched by
freight. Over $3.50 was spent yester-
day and there still remains a large
sum to be spent. This morning, cloth
ing and food, as well as any kind of
bedding will be received at different
places, and will be sent west as soon
as possible.
The kinds of food asked for are
canned vegetables, dry beans or peas,
potatoes, or smoked meats. Flour
sugar and other staples are also ac-
ceptable. Clothing is most needed
however, and a large amount should
be donated.

MASS MEETING
Centennial Association Takes
Steps To Arouse Interest in
Coming Event.
FIRST CHARTER OF CITY
PROF. WALTER S. DAVIS IN MAX
ING REPORT ON HISTORY OF
CITY, EXHIBITS RIcHMoND's
FIRST CHARTER.

At meeting of the Centennial AS
sociation last night it was decided to
hold mass meeting to arouse inter-
est in the coming Centennial celebra-
ton. The matter of arranging the
days and place of the meeting was left
to the executive committee. The pur-
pose of the mass meeting will be to
show to the people generally the scope
and extent Of the celebration. If the
plans of the Centennial Association
are carried out the event will be one
long to remember and will mean
much in advertising Richmond. 1t is
thought by those promoting the affair
that the people do not fully appreciate
this and they wish to make it all
plain to them and enlist their hearty
support.
AT the meeting last night William
Russell presided in the absence of
Prof. Hodgin and Prof. T. A. Mott act
ed as secretary. Many reporfs, were
made, among them one by Miss Fran
ces Robinson, the secretary of the
committee on family reunions. She
told of many prominent families who
will hold reunions during the Centen-
nial. The pupils of Hiram Hadley,
now state superintendent of public
schools in New Mexico. will hold a re-
union. A letter was read from Prof.
Hadley stating that he would be here
Prof. Hadley taught in Richmond in
the fifties and sixties.
Prof. Davis, in making a report on
the progress of preparing the city's
history, exhibited the first charter of
Richmond and said that he had Sc
cured the pictures of Messrs. Bond and
Bovd, two of Richmonus first three
settlers He now wishes to get the
picture of David Hoover.

Jury Returned Its Verdict
Against Negro Murderer

CONVICTED MAN PLEASED
HE SAYS THAT HE is SATISFIED
WITH THE SENTENCE HE RE.

LIVE DOWN HIS DEED.

Mack Profit, colored, who shot and
killed Emma Davis last month, was
last evening found guilty of voluntary
manslaughter, after the jury had de
liberated nearly three hours, and will
receive a sentence of from two to
twenty-one years as punishment for
his deed.
In the indictment, Profit was charg
ed with murder in the second degree
the grand jury having decided that he
killed the Davis woman in the heat OF
passion, without provocation. Had
he been found guilty of this crime, he
would have received a life sentence
His attorney, William A. Bond, made
a substantial defense for his. client
however, and secured for him the min
imum punishment. The evidence
showed that the Davis woman was OF
questionable character and that Prof
fit had hitherto borne a good reputa
ton. 1t was shown that she had
taunted and provoked him.
Profit, who will be twenty-four
years old today, feels satisfied to en-.

jury dealt fairly with him. 1t requir.

In Speech on Rate Bill He Says
That Senate Makes Its
Own Reputation.
TOUCHES ON THE PRESS
SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN CON-
TENDS THAT NEWSPAPER
MAGAZINES WILL NOT POISON
PUBLIC OPINION.
Publishers Press1

Washington, April 23.-One of the
most notable speeches on the railway
rate question was concluded in the
Senate late this afternoon by Mr.. La
Toilette of Wisconsin.
The Speaker was warmly applaud
ed by crowds in the gallery as he fin
isned and was personally congratu-
lated by many of his colleagues and
members of the Wisconsin delega-
ton.
The Senator's peroration was in the
nature of an arraignment of the Sen
ate.
rs it to be marvelled at" he ex-
claimed, that the American people
have become convinced that railroads
and industrial trusts stand between
them and their representatives; that
they have come to believe that the
daily conviction of public officials for
betrayal of public trust in municipal
state and national government, is but
a suggestion of the potential influence
of those great Americans of wealth
and power.
The country's Hysteria.
During this debate there has been
much talk about the country having
hysteria. Magazine writer's and press
correspondents have been denounced
and there would seem to be an agree
ment that they are to be pursued and
discredited, lest they lodge in the
popular mind a wrongful estimate of
the public service.
"It does not lie in the power of any
or all of the magazines of the coun-
try or of the press-Sreat as it is
to destroy without justification. the
confidence of the people in the Amer
lean Congress. Neither can any man
or earth, whatever his position or
power, alter the settled conviction of
the intelligent citizenship of this
country when it is grounded on fact
and experience. 1t rests solely with
the United States Senate to fix and
maintain it's own reputation for fidel-
ity to public trust. 1t will be judged
by the record.
I'VE have either the opportunity to
meet the demands OF the hour, or we
may weakly temporize while the
storm continues to gather. Our res
possibilities is great; our duty is
plain"
