LOGAN TALKS OF
THE WORK AT PALOS
How to Care for the Widows
and Orphans
SOME ACTS OF HERoIsM
Citizens of Little Community Are
Showing Fine Spirit and Are Do
ing All In Tkefr Power to
Relieve Distress

]. c. Logan of the Atlanta Associated
Charities, who has been at PaIos for the
last few days, helping the Red Cross
society with the relief work. came to
Birmingham last night and left for At
lanta few hours later. In speaking of
the latest developments at Palos and
what was being done by the relief bu-
reau, he said:
THE emergency work at Palos is prac-
tically over. Things have now simmered
down to what is to be done with the
widows and orphans, and how are they
to be provided for in the future. Their
immediate needs have been supplied.
There was not one call for food today,
which shows they have all been supplied
for the present. But these people must
live in the future, and how they are
to do it Is the present problem being
worked out by the Red Cross bureau at
Palos. Their clothes and food and shoes
arc going to wear out and then after the
excitement of the disaster has worn away
how are they going to get any more?
There was the case this afternoon
Ol b HtSTo Will tHiCc SiliiAi GIL
and without relatives. She is fine
woman and well thought of by everyone
al Palos. She had some furniture and
a COW and calf upon which there was a
mortgage. We found her place to
work in Birmingham, where she can
keep her children with her We arranged
with the mortgage to extend the Tins
on her COW and furniture, and yester.
day afternoon we moved her and the
Whole outfit to Birmingham and she has
now started to work with the hope OF
paying off the mortgage and becoming
independent.
This is fair sample of what we are
doing ard what we have still to do. II
is a simple matter to provide for These
unfortunates for the time being, but we
are trying to look out for them In the
future. TO do this, and do it properly, we
will have to have in the neighborhood Of
mother and the children together. SEND
the children to school and see that they
are given the correct training and do moi
become little vagabonds. thieves ant
criminals. II the money is forthcoming
believe that all this work can be done II
the next four weeks.
"A most remarkable spirit of human
kindness and aid is being shown among
the people of Palos and surrounding min
ing camps. An instance of this was to
| day when man hauled a woman's furni
| ture and effects over two miles to the
railroad to ship them to her new home
| and refused to take penny for his labor
Many of the men who were not killed ant
have back payment coming at the of
fees of the company have gone to thu
| timekeeper and said that they wantt
their undrawn salary turned over to on'
of the widows and 1t Is done. Truly thu
good people of Palos have risen to thu
occasion and are covering themselves will

Suits Aggregate $4,000

If George G. Pace should get full
verdict in each of the suits which he
has brought against the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company and the An
niston Electric and Gas company, he
would have received $4,000 in compensa-
ton for misfortunes which he has suf-
fered within the past few years
Mr.. Pace has placed valuation OF
$4,000 on one Of his eyes, which, he
claims, was destroyed while he was in
the service Of the railroad company. and
valuation of $4,000 on the partial de-
st-rction of the usefulness of his feet,
as result of an injury sustained while
he was in the act of boarding a car OF
the Admission Street Railway company
On North Noble street year or so
since.
Both of these suits will come UP in
the city court of Admission before Judge
Thomas w. Coleman this week. The
former case comes back for trial the
second time on a decision OF the Ala
bama supreme court, which decided
against the Admission city court on a
technicality, which involved a nice point
OF law In the initial hearing It was
shown that the plaintiff had received
about $500 from the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers a result of his
Injuries. and the supreme court ruled
| that the admission of this evidence might
have had a prejudicial effect in causing
| tho jury to decide against the plain
| tiff.
| The case against the Admission Elec-
| trio and Gas company comes up at this
| term of the court for the first time Each
| of the cases will attract considerable at
tention on account of the fact that the
plaintiff is well known and has. 1t is
said, suffered extensively as result of
his injuries.

FOR COMMISSION

Another man has come forward with a
formal announcement for police commits

general timekeeper for the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company.
Mr.. Armstrong is well-known In Bir-

period. The only other formally an
