BIG DRAIN ON CHARITY
II. ". Bruere Reports 1895 Fami-
lies Needing did, to 1913 Last Year.

According 10 statistics compiled by the RELIEF
department Of the Association for Improving the
Condition OF the Poor. the number of families in
need of charitable aid is three times greater
than this time last year. The books Of
the department show that whereas only ls4s fani-
lies needed and received aid June last year.
<2e5 families receiving assistance from the
association that date this year
To carry this increased relief work, which
has been steadily mounting up since last october.
the assoca has already been compelled 10 with
draw $4,000 from its reserve fund. But even this
appropriation addition current contributions
aggregating s7ee44. has been found TO be lnsuf-
fcient to continue the work throughout the sum-
rner AS result. when the board OF directors OF
the association meets tomorrow, ii Will be re
ouested TO approve additional withdrawal OF
900 from the reserve fund.
Robert w. Bruere, general agent OF the assocla-
ton, said last night that the deaTth of employ
-nent was largely responsible for the extra bur
dens which the charitable associations would have
70 bear this summer Continuing, he said:
when men are out of work it means that we
have TO feed their families cothe them, pay their
rent furnish medical attendance and do virtually
everything else which the worker workers in a
family usually attend Naturally, therefore, all
our expenses since October last, when the panic
threw thousands of men out OF work, have been
greater than they were the preceding year. Our
food bills alone show increase Of s1O.o52.
ANY outside contributions which We may receive
this summer will be welcomed, for unless condi-
tions improve we will have to depend largely upon
our reserve fund TO carry on our work.

HILL SEES PRESIDENT.
Declares Lasc-TioIating Corporations
Should Be Punished.

Washington. June 13.-James j. Hill, chairman
Of the board of the Great Northern Railroad,
conferred with the President to-day, and after
ward stated that he was going on his vacation
and had taken his leave of Mr.. Roosevelt. He
DID not care TO discuss either politics finance,
but when the Presidents policy toward corpora
tions was made a subject Of inquiry. as bearing
on the future of the railroads. he disavowed any
special knowledge. but vigorously insisted that
any corporation found violating the law should
be prosecuted to the utmost.
Speaking of the segregation of subsidiary COM
panies by railway corporations he said that so
far as the Northern Pacific was concerned all
the coal lands owned by that company were
needed for the company's purposes sug-
gesting that only in the of coal famine
would the question arise of furnishing coal TO
any outside of the corporation.
Mr.. Hill fingered behind all other callers at
the White House, remaining in conversation
with the President for twenty minutes.

GENERAL FlRMIN TALKS
Continued from first page.

Of the United States would not permit it to es-
tabsh a protectorate And as SAID IN my
book Mr.. Roosevelt and Hayti.' it is natural
that the United States does not want Hayti
placed under the care of a European nation. The
United States is sure of the sympathy of Hayt1,
and we prefer it to all other nations. We want
international fraternity
AT the beginning of the last event in Hayti
1t seemed to me that the American government
had the opinion that the revolutionary move
ment was the result of the desire of one man
to replace another man in power, and the United
States processing the doctrine of peace in the
little American republics acted for the support
Of the so-called constitutional government of
Hayti.
But. on the other hand the European
powers, which were better informed of the true
situation in Hayti, while observing the neutral
ity laws gave their sympathy to the revolu-
tionists, not in the way of supporting them
against the government, but for the purpose of
preserving their lives, for the sake Of humanity.
But now, after the fine reception that the
honorable Secretary of State gave me at
Washington. I quite convinced that the
American government is aware Of the true con-
dtion of affairs in Hayti. And I am sure that
in the future international conflict like the
last one happen.
''1f the United States had been aware of the
true condition In Hayti. 1t would probab bly, have
adopted the same course the other nations did
International law is for all civilized countries
but when all justice and all law put aside
by a country it is not entitled to claim any Of
the benefits OF international law. I have ex-
planned the situation to Secretary Root.
DISSATISFIED WITH GENERAL NORD.
'I anxious that the true situation of
Hayti be known. The Haytian people dis
satisfied with the government of General Nord.
They are compelled to cringe before the power
of the sword and bayonet They at the
same time suffering the greatest misery that
they have ever experienced. And there is no
hope that the lean hand of want that is seen
everywhere in the republic will grow
vigorous under the present regime. So it is
to be foreseen that another movement will burst
out soon. NY trip to the United States, there
fore, is to TO it that there will be no mis-
understanding in the future to the respective
positions of the parties concerned.
Il regard Booker T. Washington continued
Mr. Firmin. 'as a great man of his race. We
entered into a friendly correspondence ten years
ago. [ admire very much the spirit in which
he is making efforts to uplift the nergo race
in America. Indeed, it is to be hoped that the
conciliation will take place between the differ
eut races that constitute the American people"
Mr. Firmin has been Secretary of State of
Hayti, Secretary of the Treasury and Minister
70 France DR.. r. Bobo accompanied him to
this country. They will sail for Europe on
Thursday.
