STUDIES CHARITY
WORK IN CITIES
o. e. M'cRAcKEN, FARGO CHARITY
AGENT, FINDS WORK IN ST.
PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS VERY
SIMILAR TO WORK HERE-eETs
GOOD POINTERS.

Rev. o. E. McCracken, the superin-
tendent of the Fargo associated chari-
ties returned from the twin cities last
evening after spending several days
studying the work of the associated
charities of both Minneapolis and 81.
Paul. He finds that the work Of these
charities is very much the same as
that which Is being carried on here.
"Thev have a very effective system
of work in both cities said Mr.. Nc
Cracken, "and / received many vaiu-
able. pointers from the officials. / was
received very cordially atN the offices
OF both charity associations and the
head OFFICIALS are both sure that Far
60 has now reached stage in its
growth where an association of this
kind Is needed
"In st. Paul the associated chari-
ties is a sort of big clearingg house
for charitable work. They do no d.
rect charitable work at all, but keep
tab on all the work that is done with
in the city limits. For instance
everv charitable institution in the city
whether 1t be a church, fraternal OF
other charitable institution, reports
all cases which they assist to the as
sociated charities. Also before assist
ing any case which comes to their at
tention they call up the associated
charities to and IL this case has re:
ceived assistance from some othel
charitable institution. In this way
every particle of charitable work Il
placed just where 1t is needed ant
there is no duplication
"In Minneapolis, however, the asso
ciated charities do direct work. Thel
have great many paid workers.

They also have system for fur

much on the order OF the system

sociated charities in Fargo"

SELF 5Y REPLYING TO THEM
AT PRESENT.

Copenhagen, Sept. s--When Fred
erfck A. Cook was silown today Gem
mander Peary's statement attacking
his veracity, he replied after mo-
ment's studied reflection:
II won't degrade myself by answer
ing Peary's charges until the accusa-
tion Is made upon scientific data"
Pressed for q more explicit state
ment, DR.. Cook remained silent. He
was clearly angered by Commander
Peary's assault, and his statement y
taken to mean that he will wait until
the data obtained by himself and
Pearv are put to the test of scien-
tific analysis before entering q mora
formal denial to the commander's
charges.
Commander Peary's message created
the greatest sensation here since tht
first news of Cooks discovery.
Despite the inclination OF the Dan.
ish people to accept Cooks statements
aa the absolute truth, there Ia nt
denying the fact that Peary's virtna
denial of Cooks claims has caused {
wavering among Cooks supporters.
1t has also tended to line up thl

FAKE CRIPPLE
"W0RKING" FARGO
ONE MAN FOUND BEGGING HAD
Al RuRNsoN HIS ARM, EVIDENT
IN DELIBERATELY MADE WITH
cAR5oLIc ACID - WARNING
AGAINST PRoMIscous CHARITY

A man entered one of the big hostel
ries OF this city this morning with his
arm IN a sling. He pulled back the
bandage showing a red ugly looking
burn and asked for aims. He secured
q considerable loose change from ten
der hearted travelling men and other
guests OF the house and was finally
directed to the Fargo charities for as
sistance.
The man left ostensibly to look up
the Fargo charities. He had a very
glib tongue and was evidently greatly
relieved when he learned that there
was an institution here which would
see that he received proper care.
Just after the man left, o. e. Nc
Craclen, superintendent Of the Fargo
charities, cilanced to step into the hotel
He was told of the fellow and started
cut to overtake him. He had no diff
cplty I'm recognizing the man and was
about to step up and speak to him
when his suspicious were for some
reason aroused and he decided toswatch
him few minutes instead
The cripple" unconscious of the fact
that he was being watched started
places and accosted several men on the
street, receiving aims from many. He
walked past the Fargo charities, glanc-
ed in it's direction but did not make
any move TO so in.
Mr.. McCracken decided that the fell
low was a fake and together with Cap
tain Dahlgren he overlook the man and
began questioning him. The fellow be-
came greatly confused, his glibness of
tongue entirely disappeared and when
asked how he received his burn he
stanmered and could not tell any con-
nected story He appeared very re-
/ luctant to show the wound and when II
was uncovered IL was evident that IL
had been made with carbolic acid
There were places where the acid had
run on the flesh and the fellow finally
confessed that he was fake.
This is the time of year when there
are all kinds of fake cripples, beggars
i etc. In the northwest They are here
attracted by the hope that they may
be able to secure some Of the easy
money Of the harvest time and the po.
/ lice officials warn Fargo people to bC
sure that they are giving to homes
