FIREM EN- APPEAL
TO THE VOTERS.


On February 20 you will be called
upon to vote for $4,000 bonds for the
building of a new fire station, and
the equipment of the Fire Department
of Roswell
We appeal to you and ask for your
vote to carry the bond issue of SIS 900,
not as an object of charity, but from
a plain business standpoint. We do
not wish to be looked upon as a char
liable organization, for such we are
not; but we do claim to be a neces-
sary organization for the protection
and upbuilding of a better and great
er Roswell. When we are called to
protect the lives and property of our
citizens we do not not ask whose
lives or property are in danger, nor
do we say it is too dark or too cold.
We do not ask if it is a mansion or
a hovel il danger. 1t is sufficient for
us to know that help is needed, and
we are ready to respond to the call.
We give our services free and will
ingly. We are ever ready to risk our

your property, and in return for this
we only ask of you to provide for us
comfortable quarters and sufficient
apparatus with which to do the work.
You must admit that our present
quarters are not fit for human beings
TO live in. In the winter we must
rcowd together to keep from freezing
and in the summer the heat is so in
tense We cannot sleep; and yet we
do these things that we may be near
in getting the apparatus out to save
your property from destruction by
fire.
In return we ask your appreciation
of our services by voting for the
$1,000 Fire Department bonds. 1t will
extent, as per cent on $4,000 will
amount to $3.50 a year to be paid by
nearly half million dollars taxable
property.
Abolish the Fire Department and
the raise of insurance will amount to

Don't knock, but come out and aelp

When fire is cried, and danger is
nigh, God ana the firemen is the peo-
pies cry. But when it is quenched
and all things righted, God is forgot

THAW WAS
PECULIAR

New York, Jan. 16.-More evidence
as to alleged Irrational conduct on the
part of the defendant was offered at
the trial of Harry K. Thaw today, the
last witness being Abraham Beck,
uncle of former Assistant Attorney
General James NJ. Beck. The elder
Beck taught a select school of fifteen
boys in 1881 and 1882, and young
Thaw was one of his pupils. Beck de-
scribed TAaw as a boy of ulgoverna-
Bile temper, and produced a letter of
Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the
defendant, who said she feared Har-
ry's mind was unbalanced, ne was so
different from the other four child
rem. One of Tnaw's eccentricities,
which it was said today would soon
be testified to was sending eighty
pounds of beef to Evelyn Nesbit on
hearing that she was i'll. The attor-
neys have a receipt for the price of
the beef from the butcher Who sent
it. Mrs. William Thaw, mother of
the defendant, will be called as a
witness this afternoon or tomorrow.

BURYING WITHOUT
FUNERAL CEREMONIES

Boyertown, Pa, jan. 16.-This lit
tie borough, which lost one-ifteenth
of its population in the opera house
horror Monday night, today turned to
the task of burying the dead. All night
long scores worked at the morgues
preparing the identified bodies for
removal to their late homes or to the
cemetery. More than sixty death Ger.
tificates were issued up to ten O'Clock
this morning, and most of the bodies
will be buried today without funeral
ceremonies. There is not a clergyman
in town able to conduct services. The
borough has set aside eight lots for
the burial of the unidentified dead in
the cemetery. Space will be left for
monument to be erected by tne
borough. The scenes about the NOR
CUES were very much the same to-
day as yesterday. Daylight found the
crowds clamoring for admittance. At
seven O'Clock the doors were opened
and the work of identifying the dead
taken up. 1t is believed that more
than fifty bodies will never be iden-
tilted.

THE CHARITY
PROPOSAL

Editor Daily Record The letter
ciologist,' is far too suggestive to
come from one not vitally connected
with our local Salvation Army work;
but l am sure that Roswell is not
ready to make the Salvation Army
the guardian of her poor and dispens-
er of all our charity funds. Such a
suggestion is over-reachi1g and ridic-
ulous. l am perfectly willing to ac-
cord the Salvation Army any rights
and privileges that legitimately be-
long to them, but they should learn
that their rights end where the peo-
pies rights begin. AS a matter of
fact, the Salvation Army of our city
is in intent, purpose and practice,
church. The Army has its stated ser
vices on Sundays at the same hours
t,.at all the churches of the city have
theirs. Besides, | have been informed
that the Army claims to be a church,
and | am sure that no other church
of our city would presume to become
d cndflly DOdru ana request dll IIe
charity funds of the city to pass thru
their hands and be dispensed as the
poor of the city might demand. AS
a matter of fact, the charity of the
city is not the work of any one church
or all churches; but many good peo-
pie of the city, not affiliated with any
local church organization, are inter
ested in the poor and never fail, when
called upon, to give of their bounty
to relieve the needy poor of our city.
AS to the cost of organizing and op-
Grating such society as 1 have sug
gested, | am sure it would be small
indeed. and l insist that the ladies
of our city should take up the matter
at once, organize and begin the work

ATTEMPT TO BREAK
JAIL DISCOVERED.

Today the story leaked that there
was an attempt made several days
ago for a Jail delivery in the Chaves
county Jail; but the success of the
attempt was spoiled by the vigilance
of the jailer and his deputies. The
prisoners had pried off one of the cell
doors and with it were trying to prize
off the outside door when caught.
Nose Lewis and a man named kooch
who is awaiting trial on the charge
of stealing a saddle are thought to
have been the ones who made the
attempt.

An Appeal for Charity Organization.

An Appeal for Charity Organization.
Editor Record 1t did my heart
good to read the appeal in your paper
for an organization of men and women
whose purpose it is to distribute to
the unfortunate ones. All people of
all creeds and shades of thought are
touched unto tears by the simple, ap-
pealing pathos, unlimited sympathy
and devoted unSelfiShneSs contained
in the story of the Good Samaritan
There are very few who will not give
to those who are in real want of the
necessaries of life. These acts of Civ
ing lift up the human into the Di-
the human. The giving of whatever
we possess in the name of humanity,
or in the name of the All Father, is
the first outward evidence of an ia
ward closeness to God.
In these days of great things, al
though in many unseen and little
ways our hearts go out in gifts to the
poor, to do great deeds of charity we
must organize.
l never felt the need of an orgali-
zation of Associated Charities as
did last week when | walked into a
home of distress and witnessed al
most at our doors one of the most
appalling conditions of destitution
and poverty. gave them of my means
at the time, which was very little il
so great need. Then in the cold night
outside | asked the All Father with
er l should turn for help. There was
no organization to hear my appeal
After almost a week, having in the
meantime through illness been de
TERED from looking after these poor
came back to find them half clad
hungry, without coal and food. But
came with nurse who had volunteer
ed her service. We secured coal from
the Wool & Hide Co. We begged and
bought clothes and began to clean
and clothe the little ones and scour
the home. Many nave helped us; ma
ny are willing to help. But dear men
and women. / appeal to you, organ
| ize, ORGANIZE, that fraud may be
obviated and relief be brought quick
| ly and efficiently to those who have
fallen into misfortune in our midst.

DESERTER FROM NAVY
ARRESTED ON MANCHURIA

Under guard at Camp Very await
ing transportation to Cavite for trial
by court martial is E. E. Castleberry,
an ordinary seaman, who is charged
with desert1on from the navy. He
was arrested on the Manchuria when
she was in port, on a cable request
from Rear Admiral Hemphill, in COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron The
cable requested the arrest of three de-
serters, but apparently the other two
took some other route.
Castleberry was a steerage passenger
on the Manchuria. There were only
two passengers on the Manchuria who
might by possibility be the man want
ed. One of them was able to make
clear his innocence. But Castleberry,
who was travelling under the name of
E. E Howard, betrayed himself by
his efforts to make out a good case
for himself He had on navy shoes
and hat and some of his other clothes
were navy clothes. His manner of
CARRYING himself indicated that he had
been in the navy. He will go by the
next transport or naval vessel TO Ca
yite for trial.
