PEOPLE ARE GIVING FREELY
Half a Million Dollars Already on the
Way, and Thousands Flowing Into

New York, Jan. 2.-The spontaneous
action throughout the country to sue.
cor the distress of Italy has assumed
the character of an imposing national
movement.
Reports from all sections of the
country show cities, individuals, so.
cieties, religious bodies, private cor.

expression of the American people in
behalf of the afflicted nation. Already
over 100000 in cash Is in hand and
most of this has been cabled or is on
its way to Italy. The reports show
this total to be only the beginning, and
the aggregate promises to swell to
millions.
Governors of states and mayors Of
cities have issued appeals, and a
message from the president to con.
gress is expected when that body re.
assemblies on Monday. The New York
total is upward of $150,OO0; Boston is
nearing S50,000 Chicago is raising
$100,000; st. Louis exceeds S25,000;
Milwaukee and Providence are each
nearing the $4,000 mark, while the in
itial amounts in scores of other cities
are reaching thousands of dollars. The
Canadian government has appropri.
ated 100000 and the city of Toronto
has added $4,000. About $250,0OO
worth of supplies are already on the
way to Italy on the United States sup

tion which the American congress is
expected to make the aggregate from
the United States and Canada will run

HAVE PUT UP THEIR GUNS
Unique Compromise in ereathitt coun
ty Feud.

Jackson, Ky, Jan. 2.-Fearing that
the governor would send troops TO
Breathitt county to preserve order, the
Callahan and the Deaton factions on
Friday agreed to a truce and disband-
ed. Both bands left Jackson late in
the day.
The compromise was the result OF
the dismissal of the warrants against
former Sheriff Ed Callahan and seven
of his adherents, who were charged
with the shooting of Rash Sebastian,
and those against Goyan Smith and
two of the Deaton faction for con-
federating and for shooting up the
Callahan home shortly after the presi'
dental election.
Judge Taulbee's action In dismissing
the warrants, it is said, was taken on
the recommendation OF some OF the
most prominent citizens and leaders
in the law and order movement In
Breathitt county. When the cases
were called Judge Taulbee was about
to direct the summoning of armed men
to take the place of the troops which
the governor had been asked to send
Then the proposal to dismiss the war
rants in the interest of peace was
made and to this the court agreed.

RESUME WITH MORE HANDS
GOOD DEAL OF OUTDOOR WORK
is GOING ON.
Dun's Says Plants viii Have Larger
Forces than In 19os-5usiness
Prospects Good.

New York, Jan. 2.-R. G. Dun e. Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable quiet is reported In
wholesale and jobbing trade, travelling
statesmen preparing to start out next
week. Confidence in good spring busi-
ness is general, results of inventories
thus far available indicating that re-
ports of depleted stocks were not ex-
aggerated. Conservative buying during
the past year has made the statistical
position very strong among dealers,
while curtailed manufacturing Nopera-
tions prevented accumulation at the
mills. Current distribution of staples
is fair, but open weather retards sales
of heavy weight wearing apparel. The
same influence operates on the other
hand to facilitate outdoor work, and
estimating rooms are busy on plans for
future construction. After some over
hauling and repairs the leading inGus-
trial plants will resume next week with
larger forces than at any time during
1908
A quiet closing of the year was ex.
pected in the markets for iron and
steel, but an improved demand is an
ticipated early in January. Mills are
now in condition to produce freely
having made necessary repairs and in.
creased the number of hands. The
chief pig iron inquiry is for basic and
in small lots, but the furnaces have
substantial contracts on hand, against
which meters specify freely
Shoe manufacturers report a steady
demand for seasonabe lines to be de-
livered up to April, and conditions are
more satisfactory than at any time
during the year.
