ASK $4,000 FOR CHARITY
ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED OF
MONEY IMMEDIATELY.
Automobile Craze Is Blamed for De.
crease in the Number of
Contributions.

The Associated Charities and the
Citizens Relief Association are in inn
mediate need of about $4,000, according
to a statement made at the meeting OF
the board of directors held yesterday.
The members of the board declared
that it requires today 81 to purchase
what at this time last year cost only
$50. The automobile craze and the
great increase in the number of ma
chimes have, it is stated, decreased the
number of contributions to charity.
A meeting of the board of directors
will be held late this afternoon at the
Washington Loan and Trust Company
to adopt resolutions Of sympathy for
Mrs Brewer. The late Justice Brewer
was president of the Associated
Charities,
Canvass of Departments.
It was decided yesterday to address
letter to each member of the cabinet
requesting permission to seek contribu-
tions among the departments. The man.
ayers decided that campaign OF edu-
cation is necessary to awaken public IN
terest in the work of the Associated
Charities and to correct some of the
criticisms that have been made OF the
organization. One of the unfavorable
comments made is that the associations
spent last year S1,7OO in salaries and
only gave away $1,000.
such criticism is only due to COM
plete misunderstanding of the methods
we employ said Corcoran Thom.
sometimes the public seems to forget
that we give relief in constructive
way-never making gifts of money and
food until every opportunity is given to
the needy ones in question, until every
effort has been made by our agents to
make them help themselves. That is the
whole principle of organized, scientific
charity

YOUNG NEGROES IN JAIL
AWAIT ACTION OF THE GRAND
JURY ON CHARGES.
Alleged Attempted Assault Near
Sunnyside, Nd, With Child as
the Accuser.
Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md, March 80, 1910
Genevieve Clover, thirteen years old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Clover
residing near Sunnyside. Prince George
county, was accosted by two young
negroes on the Edmunds road near Belts
Vile yesterday afternoon. and she de-
clared they attempted to assault her. Two
hours later Deputy Sheriff Thomas H
Mohler and Constable Wallace C. Ray
bold arrested Moses Henson of 22S Az
street southwest and Alfred Ford of 1122
C street southeast. and they were identi-
fed by the little girl. A. l.. Grimes and
Albert F. Moore. two farmers, were the
first to hear of the alleged attempted as
sault, and they dropped their tools and
ran to Beltsville to spread the alarm. 1t
was reported the boys were riding BIZ
cycles and were headed toward Washing
ton. Deputy Sheriff Mohler and Con-
stable Raybold started in pursuit and
they overhauled the negroes at the Mary
land experiment station.
Committed to Jail.
The officers placed the colored boys in
the Hyattsville lookup and this morning
they were committed by Justic of the
Peace A. H. Dahler to the Marlboro Jail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Little Miss Clamer, who is on at
tractive and modest child, said she was
returning from school when the negroes
on wheels passed her. About a half mile
farther along, at a lonely place in the
road, the boys suddenly jumped out of a
piece of woods and one of them said to
her: What you call me a niger for?"
She started to run and one of them threw
a coat over her head. She screamed and
this, it is believed, frightened them away.
Miss Clamer ran to Mrs. Grimes house.
800 yards away, and was SO frightened
that for several minutes she could not
tell her story.
When the officers were returning with
the boys after they had been identified
they stopped at about the place where
the alleged attempt was made and when
the boys were told to point out the ex-
act spot where they approached the girl
they did not hesitate to do so. This was
the first time they admitted that they
were the boys wanted.
Deny the Charge.
They declared, however. that they were
looking for the road to Baltimore and
that when the little girl came along they
asked her the way. They denied that
they ran after her or that the coat was
thrown over her head. Both displayed
remarkable GOODNESS throughout the or
deal. Henson gave his age as fifteen and
said he lived at 22S AZ street. Washing
ton. and Ford said he was fourteen years
old and lived at 1122 street southeast.
Washington Both looked to be older
than the ages given.

The brachial artery of the arm was severed by the ends of the broken bone, and the young man suf- fered considerably from loss of blood be- fore he reached the hospital.

On account of the dis tarce 1t was some time before the am- bulance was able to reach the wounded boy. but Dr. Prince was able to give him considerable relief and stanch the flow of blood from the severed artery

Pulling down time has arrived in city politics. and it is quite probable that this week will see a dozen or more are poor. or whose business has inter- fered with their canvass. usually get out of the way in favor of some friend.
 While It will be impossible to get the names off the ticket, a general under standing among the voters will throw the vote the other way.
 If four candidates for mayor finish the in a number of years. While three start el two years ago, only one remained at the end.
 However, all seemed to have good wind last week, and declared yesterday thas only election day stood between them and the mayors chair. It Is generally agreed that Exum is the strongest man. if his opponents hold out Friends of both Seals and King have made de- termined efforts to get one or the other down, but they both claim to be win ners. and proposed to make the campaign sti enuous this week.

Massey Thinks e City
 Should AdOertise Wares

Tt strikes me-" said Richard w. Massey, that now is the physiological moment to advertise Birmingham. The growth of the population of Birming- ham of nearly 300 per cent in ten years will focus the attention of the world upon Birmingham.
 "The advisability of municipal adver- Using is no longer a debatable ques- ton. It Is merely a question of the most effective means and the methods to be employed to gain the desired end
 More than 100 cities of the United States have launched municipal adver- Using campaigns, proving that cities are susceptible of successful exploita- tion the same as any purely commercial enterprise.
 "I have recently noticed on the first page of a daily paper publish ed in Memphis an account several columns 900 just raised in that city for munic- ipal advertising purposes.
 Does this not show enterprise on the part of Memphis? If we wish to be in Memphis class we must wake up and get busy.
 For too long Birmingham has hid den her light under a bushel and slept soundly upon her rights while other cities with far less to offer than Bir- mingham have made tremendous strides by advertising to the world what they had to offer.

place to locate These advantages could be told interestingly and profitably We have certain needs we can call upon the world to supply.
 "As an example of what can be ac- complislfed along these lines l would cite the experience of the city Colum- bus, Ga. That city. owing to its natural water falls. could manufacture elec- tricity for power and light cheaper than any other city in the south Columbus advertised this fact. A fund of a few thousand dollars was raised.
 "The west has been especially ag- gressive in the matter of municipal ad- vertisng The city of Portland, Ore, wanted factories, jobbers, wholesalers, farmers for outlying lands, fruit and vegetable growers. business men, etc. Portland went at the matter just as business man who wanted more busi- ness would go at the question-it ad- vertised. Tom Richardson, secretary of the Portland Commercial club whom I have the pleasure of personally know ing, in a recent letter to me describ- ing the experience of that city with its publicity campaign closed by saying that a more profitable investment was never made by the city of Portland than it's expenditure in general pub
 icity and that the results more than meet their expectations.
 Dallas on authority of Printers Ink secured eleven good sized manufactur-
 ing plants and a number of smaller concerns besides twenty five branch houses, the direct result of its ad- vertising campaign.
