SAN FRANCISCO STILL NEEDS
, AIN 3d..

DR.. Devine of the National Red
Cross Society, has issued the follow
ing statement from San Francisco:
at is important for the entire
country to understand that the loss
of homes and property in San Fran
cisco has not been exaggerated. Elk
Ipectations have been aroused and
plans have been made based on tele-
Igrams and newspaper reports of large
contributions for relief and the ex-
pectations should not be disappoint-
ed"
+, III the press of this nation has any
power, Dr. Devine will not be disap-
pointed. Newspapers all over the
country have taken upon themselves
the task of urging the people to con-
tribute generously for their unfortu-
nate fellow countrymen in California.
Three newspapers in Indianapolis
have succeeded in raising public gem
lerosity to such pitch, that over
100000 has so far been subscribed
In New York City over $4,000 900 has
lbeen raised. AS the City of New
York has total population of about
s.500,0o0 souls, the contributions per
capita amount to approximately s1.14.
Richmond so far has contributed
shout $4,000, which is at the rate of
Is cents per capita, or practically one
Cellar less per capita than New York
is giving. From these figures it be-
comes apparent that Richmond ought
to send 4 great deal more money than
1t is, to tne earthquake sufferers.

On the first page of this issue there
appears a reproduction of the receipt
sent to the Palladium by the National
Red Cross Treasurer, acknowledging
s809.47 sent to him by this paper and
representing that part Of the fund col
lected for the San Francisco earth
quake and fire sufferers, which was on
hand on Tuesday of last week Since
that time the Palladium has received
from various people between $500
and $500, and tomorrow this balance
will be forW arded to the proper per
sons.
Yesterday morning the congrega-
ton of st. Johns Evangelical Luther
an church contributed $72 for the San
Francisco sufferers and the Rev. A.
j. Feeger, pastor of the church, last
night requested that the Palladium re-
ceive this contribution and merge it
with the fund to be cent away tom@<-
row. With the forwarding of the
balance of the money on hand the Pa
ladiumS work has been concluded.
The contributions of Richmond pes
pie have been liberal. They we're
itation and the only part this paper
has taken has been to act as custodi-
an of the fund and to see that it
reaches the proper authorities. In
sending the first installment of the
money collected to the Hon. G H.
Keep, at Washington, the Palladium
followed the instructions sent out by
President Roose welt. The money
that will be sent tomorrow will either
go to Mr.. Keep or direct to the Red
Cross officers at San Francisco. In
either event the installment will be
properly acknowledged in due time.
Richmond people have done their
part in this work for suffering human
ity, and today will be the last that the
Palladium will receive contributions.
The following is a complete list of
contributions received up to last
night:

ENTERPRISlNG SPIRIT.

Probably the best evidence of San
Francisco's spirit Is shown by the
newspapers of that city. Every paper
in the place was forced to suspend
publication from their own plants
either on account of being burned out,
or due to the inability to obtain pow
er for running the machinery. Three
of the four papers published in San
Francisco moved across the bay to
Oakland and made arrangements to
issue their respective papers from the
newspaper plants OF that city The
other paper has suspended publica-
ton for sixty days, a policy which
does not speak so well for the enter
prise of its owners. The most sur
prising thing, however. is the amount
Of advertising the three San Francis
co papers are carrying. In view of
storSs, manufacturing plants, and Of
fees. it doesn't appear as though any
thing remained in San Francisco to
be advertised. Yet in a fourteen-page
paper printed by the Examiner, there
were over nine pages Of advertising,
and in a sixteen-page paper published
by the Chronicle, at least fifty per
cent of its space was devoted to the
same end. This is surely a flattering
evidence of the work of resurrection
now going on in the stricken city.

Benz. MOORMAN'S DEATH
NINETY SIX YEARS OLD.
One of Wayne County's Oldest ae
Wen as Most Widely Known Men
Was a Native of North Carolina
Funeral on Sunday.

By the death Saturday of Benja-
min Norman, 96 years of age,
Wayne county lost one Of her Oldest
al . most. highly esteemed citizens.
His death occurred at the home Of his
adopted son, John w Turner, near
CoE's Mills. The funeral took place
Sunday afternoon at Arba, Randolph
county.
Mr.. Norman was born in North
Carolina, August 81, 1909. His par
ents were natives of the same county
The family came to Indiana in 1916,
the year of the admission of the State
into the Union. They located twelve
miles northeast of Richmond, in
Franklin township. The farm con-
sisted of go acres, for which the
grandfather of Benjamin Norman
paid $1.25 per acre. The grandfather
lived on the place until his death in
1880
Mr.. Norman was married in 1885
TO Miss Anna Turner. He retired in
1875, after making an enviable repu-
tation as a live sotck breeder and
dealer He was a resident of Rich
mOnd for several years following
1897. He and Mrs. Norman had no
children of their own, but kindness
prompted them to adopt four. They
reared Ruth Frazer Pyle, wife of Dav
id Pyle; John w. Turner, ex-county
treasurer; Emma Turner Rich, sis
ter of John Turner and the wife of
Reuben Rich, who died leaving a son,
Morrison D., who was the last charge
of the aged couple.
In early life Mr.. Norman was
staunch Democrat, of the Jacksonian
school, and leader of the party in
his neighborhood. His opposition to
slavery led him to espouse the Re-
publican cause in 1856, however. and
he was one of it's firmest advocates
to the time of his death. He was
for a long time prominent in the
Friends meeting, and for more than
thirty years was a deacon in the New
Garden quarterly meeting.

Real Estate Trust Company.
by the directors is $2,5OO,OOO, and this,
with the good assets of the company,
is believed to be sufficient to pay the
depositors dollar for dollar. The prop
osition is to pay the depositors one
third of their claims in cash, giving
them preferred stock of the company
for the remaining two-thirds, which is
to remain as working capital for the
rehabilitated company. This stock is
to be preferred as to dividends up to
6 per cent, and such stock is to share
equally in all percentage with the
common stock, after the common
stock has also received 6 per cent, and
is to be redeemed in common stock or
cash, as the holder may elect, after all
the stock shall have received a divi-
dend at the rate of per cent.
The directors are left without any
security for the return of the money
they have pledged, and can only hope
to secure return out of the excess
profits of the reorganized trust COM
pany or through unexpected increase in
the value of the Segal securities ac-
cepted by President Nipple as collat-
eral for his excessive loans.
There is nothing in the plan to show
the propOrtionate subscription of the
directors. The deposits amount to up
ward of S6,000,000, divided among 5000
dePositors, and if all assent to the plan
it will give the bank working capital
of $4,400000.
The plan had an appreciable effect
on the stock, offers being made for
shares at 102. In his statement to the
depositors, Receiver Earle expresses a
desire to purchase some of the stock
for himself and for his companies.
The reopening of the bank depends
on the promptness of the creditors ac-
ceptance of the plan.

STRIVING FOR
PEACE IN CUBA
GovernmeRtkakins Strenuous Efforts
to Avoid American Intervention.
TAFT STARTS FOR HAVANA

Havana, Sept 1.-THE government
store peace in Cuba and thus avoid
any kind of American intervention.
The object of these endeavors, it is
stated, is that it may be able to say
by the time Secretary Taft and Acting
Secretary of State Bacon arrive that
peace already has been secured and
that therefore there is no need for the
American governments intervention,
either to restore peace or insure perma-
nent tranquility.
Members OF the government say they
are making the efforts in accordance
with the advice contained in President
Roosevelt's letter; that thsg have no
objection to friendly assistance of the
United States in case it becomes neces-
sary, but that they believe they can
settle it between the government and
the revolutionists without the necessity
of any Intervention. At least, they say,
they are making an attempt to accom-
plish this end unaided and with fair
prospects of success.
This is the latest phase of a rapidly
changing situation that developed when
an extraordinary gazette was issued
containing a decree signed by Presi-
dent Palma on the recommendation Of
the Secretary of Public Works Mont
alvo. The decree follows:
"All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and in consequence the govern
ment forces will act only on the defen.
sive throughout the republic. The Sec
retary of the interior will issue all the
necessary orders for the execution Of
this decree"
The decree caused great surprise, as
It was believed to signify a change OF
heart by the government oficials. whs
for the past two days have been strong
1y against taking UP peace overtures
with the emissaries of the revolution
lists.
The three American warships are the
most imposing and interesting objects
in Havana bay. Their presence, unde-
signedly yet pointedly, is typical Of the
fact that it is the intention OF the Unit
ed States to take n hand in Cuban af-
fairs to the extent at least OF bringing
order out of the present chaotic condi-
tions.
The cruiser Des Moines arrived Sat
urday and the auxiliary cruiser Dixie
with $50 marines on board ana ready al
a moments notice to land field pieces
and rapid-five guns, came later, and
was ordered to proceed to Cienfuegos
It is believed that the small fierce ol
the gunboat Marietta is not considered
a sufficient guard, owing to the condi
tions in the besieged city.
>1f Commander Colwelps mission her
= was in the nature of making peace ne
gotiations he could hardly be NOR
busy. He is receiving delegates repre-
senting the insurgents and even SOM
of the insurgents themselves, who ar
anxious. through him, to negotiat
peace of some kind. He has held con
sultations with these emissaries, bu
declines to do otherwise than recon
mend that they go to their govern
ment.
