WHAT JHE JUDGE DOESN'T
KNOW.

Many men in prison are suffering
for the sins Of the Judge that con-
demned them quite as much as for
their own The magistrate has no
means of knowing the really siEni-
fieant things about the man before
him; what strange, occult. myster-
ions currents of human viii or fate,
moving in the mans mind or In the
minds Of his ancestors impelled him
to his deed he has no means of
knowing how far the man has been
the prey of economic forces that the
judge does not understand. or what
hidden physical defect may have
created moral defect or obliquity in
him All the Judge knows is that In
tween minimum and maximum limi-
tations there is mysterious num-

Self-Help in Small Savings.

In the collection of small savings on the

made by agents and 1894 visits by VOL

Besides these. in the regular fundamental

work of studying and befriending needy
families, 1874 visits were made by the
trained division agents and $50 by volun-
teers working under their direction. In
developing charitable resources 645 visits
we're made by the eight agents and q by
their unpaid assistants. Altogether 7O,O22
personal visits were made to or IN behalr
of poor families who needed such charitable
attention
There are many alleys and neglected
neighborhoods with countless households
where no church, mission or Salvation
Army worker or other representative OF
the constructive social forces of the COM
munity Is ever seen. Here the agents and
volunteer visitors OF the Associated Chari-
ties are not simply aims giyers in times
of physical distress, but advance agents
of civilization. Unconsciousy In many
cases, the visitor suggests new views OF
life and higher ideals. The people who read
this report, who possibly think of the
needy poor as exempliied by hardened beg
gers who easily make known their wants,
can hardly realize the friendlessness OF I'M
resourceful, sensitive families who have
gradually lost all social connections
through misfortune or misconduct. and have
shrunken away from agencies and indi-
viduals who would gladly help them II they
knew the facts.
The great need for such personal friendly
ministration Is suggested In a typical way
by the fact that the 4.S77 cases dealt with

members Of the Citizens Relief Association
to receive and disburse funds for the relief
of distressed families. In other cities the
relief society employs it's own agents and
bears all the administrative expenses OF Its
work. In Washington, by wise and for
tunate arrangement, the Associated Char
tiles renders all the personal service neces-
sary and the Citizens Relief Association
represents exclusively the function of ma
terial relief.
The Citizens Relief Association spent
last year the following amounts: Groceries
and meat, 81, $50; fuel, $3.50; shoes, 500;
clothing and sundry relief, $36; milk and
eggs, $2,471; total. $7.077.
Altogether only 81, 30749 was collected by
the Citizens Relief Association between
November /, 1905, and November 1, 1906.
Even of this small amount 81, $3.50 came
through the District Commissioners as the
interest on the centennial inaugural relief
fund and N.118.49 from the escheated es-
tates relief fund was also turned over to
the association by the Commissioners. Thus
$933. 70 came from public funds and only
$f,373.70 from voluntary private contrfbu-
tons. With its report of the good work ac-
complished during the past year the Citi-
zens' Relief Association submits an earnest
appeal for voluntary contributions from
residents Of Washington who are able to
spare a share of their income for the as
sistance Of their needy neighbors.

each conference, to be appointed by the
board of managers" The committee also
reported that series Of confidential talks
to mothers had been arranged for each
Thursday afternoon in February in the
Georgetown and northern division offices,

The real -four hundred of Washington
are surely the 4O1 unpaid workers who gave
personal service during the past year in the
upbuilding of needy families. The needs and
opportunities for appropriate volunteer work
are declared to be many and urgent. There
are drunkards who might be strengthened
to overcome their craving; discouraged
mothers who need to be inspired with new
courage; young men and women who may
be won from paths of moral danger; idle
people for whom employment could be Sc
cured; sick or "shut-in'' sufferers to whom
some one should read occasionally; chill
dren whose parents should be influenced to
keep them In school; households whose
standards are degenerating for lack Of the
Ideals and influences which q wholesome
visitors could supply; all these and many
other needs are encountered constantly and
not supplied because Of lack of volunteers.
The following are reported as the main
causes Of need: Sickness. 20 per cent: ig-
norance and weakness. 26; desertion. Is; In
temperance, II; old age, z: lack of proper
employment, 6; evil surroundings, /; other
causes. 4: total percentage. 100.

FIRE CAUSES GREAT HAVOC.
Many Persons Hurt or Made Home
less and Fifty Horses Perish


Twelve persons were injured. forty
families were made homeless, 1000 people
were driven from their homes, fifty horses
were roasted to death and property valued
at 100000 was destroyed Wednesday in
the worst early morning fire New York
has experienced in many months. 4 large
tenement house at 427 West Fifty-thIrd
street and a large boarding stable at ~
431 West Fifty-third street were destroy
ed. Seven tenement houses at 426-43i
West Fifty-fourth street were damaged.
One Of the worst features of the IRE was
the tremendous crowd which gathered IN
the streets around the burning district
causing disorder and Iawlessness. SO
great was the jam that the police mad
difficulty in preserving order. and for
time thieves had n free hand in lootlns
the burned buildings. Two policemen
who detected six young men acting sus-
piciously in a house chased me men over
the roofs down to Tenth avenue, firing
several shots at them without effect. An
other exciting incident occurred when
woman among the spectators screamed
that three negroes had tried to rob ner.
One negro was seen running away, ana
group of white men gave chase, nrlhg
after the fugitive as they ran. After
pursuit OF several blocks two detectives
joined in it and they. too, began to nfe
at the fleeing negro. Not one OF the snots
reached the mark, but the man gave up
and was taken to a police station
