from a sojer and no woman kin
come into ut" "All> right, my
good woman, conceded my guide.
We found one dame in a tent
alone. She was possessed of a
fine iron bedstead, part of her res
cued effects, but she was a lofty
individual, who asserted that she
was not strong and was used to
having a room by herself. A
strange man, conferring with her
in low tone, spoke up to the
same effect, and my good Samar-
itan, starting off, calculated,
We'll, if they won't do it for pay,
we'll see if we can't make them do
it for nothing"
So. to the doctor in charge of
the tents we wended. "Why, we
can let Mrs. Jennings have tent
to herself said DR.. Booth with
out hesitation, ''but there is no
bedding to be had" And such
was the case. For three days l
waited for bedding, and not a
blanket, let alone mattress or
cot, came into the relief ware
house. For all the authorities
knew to the contrary, homeless
woman had come into the park

found a bare tent, nothing to
sleep on but a board floor and not
a rag to protect her from the cold.

WeH-Meant Advice.

This attitude was evidently the
result of an unofficial opinion in
regard TO the established camps
as homes for homeless women.
The we'll meant intention of my
new friend, Mr.. Ruess, nearly
cost me my opportunity to be-
come a regulation refugee, for |
was obliged practically to force
my way against his inclination.
But now properly launched on my
mission as Margaret Jennings,
refugee, burned out at Powell
street, and since existing on the
kindness of friends, | declared |

night, Mr. Ruess set off to find
me a shelter in some tent. At the
Red Cross headquarters near the
conservatory | overhead him say :

must have a place to sleep to-
night. | can't risk delay by going
through red tape and am going to
try to rent her a place in a tent
with some other women for a
tartan fund that is at my dis
posal."
SO forth we went from tent to

good deed and take this woman
in? I'll pay you for it, he would
plead. But at canvas house after

the answer that there was no

Ford's Office in the Jackson Pri-
mary School, on Oak street, near
Stanyan.
Arrived there, we found that
DR.. Ford, the head of the relief
camps, was so busy with his du-
ties on the rehabilitation commit
tee that his hours at his Oak
street Office were practically un-
known. Three waiting women
assured us that they had come
more than a score of blocks sew
eral times to get orders for goods
from him, but had so far been un-
able to catch him in, and that no
one else at his office seemed to
feel empowered to execute orders
for him.

woman in mourning, as she quiet

To us all waiting patiently for
some one in authority (for the
slip of a girl at the desk seemed
to know little more than the rest
of us), appeared Rev. Christopher
Ruess Of the Red Cross, very
busy, very earnest and very anx-
ious to help. Some he promised
an interview with DIR. Ford the
following day, others he started
on the road to what might be the
road to their desires. | had dress

 New York. Oct. 7.-Justice Remsen, one of the coroners of North Hemp stead, L. L, said tonight that he did not see how 1t would be possible to hold Elliott F. Shepard for the killing of Curt L. Gruner of Passaic, N. J., in the Vanderbilt cup races on Satur- day.
 The coroner inspected the scene of the accident on the Jericho turnpike o-day and examined several witnesses who saw the tragedy. Justice Remsen held that MT.

CUBAN POLITICAL REFORMS
Preliminary Steps for Organization of
 Good Government League.

Good Government League.
 Havana, Oct. 1.-The preliminaries of an organization to be called the Good Government League of Cu'5a were be- gun this afternoon at a meeting of Americans, Cubans and others, at which resolutions were passed to the effect that the purpose of the associa- tion should be promoting by all legiti- mate means the establishment and maintenance of a permanent, stable and lawful government, competent to ad- minister justice, insure domestic tran quility. promote the general welfare, and nsure the blessings of liberty to all the inhabitants of the island" It was declared that the league intended to adopt whatever means to this end were deemed wisest by a majority of the membership, which is intended to be representative of all nationalities and all sections, and not to be com mitted to any inc of action until it is decided what is most conducive to the objects named. While there was no expression to that effect, the movement generally is regarded as pointing even tually toward some more definite degree of American control or oversight in Gu ban affairs than is vouchsafed by the Platt amendment.

 Praise Service.

New Haven, Oct 1.-The state Chris tian EndeaWor convention, which has been in session here three days, was brought to close tonight with praise service and sermon by the Rev. Dr. Roland D.

FIRST MEN OF ARMY
 0F OCCUPATION LAND
SMART WORK OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS GETTING INTO
 CUBAN CAMP.

Within an Hour From the Time the
 Transport Summer Docks, the $50
 Men Of the second and Third BattaI-
 ions of the Fifth Regiment Had Dis
 embarked and Reached Camp--Gen-
 eral Funston Pitches Headquarters
 Nearby - DiHarming of Insurgents
 Goes on Mere Smoothly.
 Havana, Oct. 7.-The first landing of American soldiers in the present occu- patton of Cuba was accomplished to- day with marvellous promptness, and tonight the second and third battal- ions of the Fifth United States infan- try are settled under canvas in Camp Columbia. The first and fourth battal- ions of the same regiment, which arr rived this afternoon, also were sent out to the camp promptly. To-day General Frederick Funston established his headquarters at Marianao, convenient to his command. Colonel l.. w, n Waller, commanding the marines, has been ordered to report to General Fun ston, and the entire force of regulars and marines will be under F'unstons command until the arrival here next Tuesday of General J. Franklin Bell, who will direct the distribution of the forces throughout the island.
 Within an hour from the time that the transport Sumner came alongside the railroad wharf the disembarking had been completed, and the $50 men composing the second and third bat talions of the Fifth had been trans ported on street cars direct to the camp. Their equipage followed. The movement was so skilfully handled that the men prepared their midday meal from their own rations. The men are in good condition and are pleased with their camp and its pleasant surround ings
 The disarming of former insurgents went on much better to-day. Reports from members of the disarmament con- mission in various provinces indicate that the trouble which was threatened yesterday may be avoided, although ex- rebels and volunteers in a few towns In Santa Clara province are still disin- clined to be the first to disarm, and it is feared that American soldiers will have to be sent to back up the demands of the disarmament commission. HavA ana, Santiago Pinar del Rio, Matanzas and Puerto Principe provinces are practically clear of rebels and show no signs of trouble.
 Governor Taft, Assistant Secretary of State Bacon and General Funston are gratifed at the situation and believe that the difficulties in Santa Clara province will be overcome in a few days. So confident are they that Gov ernor Taft and MT. Bacon say they be- lieve they will be able to start for home next Saturday. Governor Taft will spend the time after Tuesday in familiarizing his successor, Charles D. Magoon with the situation. MT. Ma goon is expected here on that day. It is believed that after the arrival in
