The yard engine crew of the Southern
Railway Company shortly before mid
night last night played f1remen for near
ly two hours, and did very well for anna
tours, saving one OF the big Armour re-
frigerator cars from destruction.
The car, which was empty, was at
tached to a train of shifting cars on
Union street preparatory to being placed
on q sidetrack. Smoke was discovered
coming from the car and which shortly
turned into a blaze. The crew ran the
train to a sidetrack, uncoupled the car
and carried it to water tank nearby,
and after two hours hard fighting sub
dued the fire.
The fire was on the inside, having
started between the lining of the car,
and proved very difficult to handle.
The railroad authorities stated this
morning that the origin of the fire was
unknown and that the damage was COM

Charity's Chief Aim.

While the Associated Charities en-
deavors to provide for and uplift the
helpless and unfortunate, its chief aim
Is to enable them as far as possible to
aid themselves. Where this is not pos
slble they are brought by the association
in touch with all public and private in
stitutions that have been founded for the
amelioration of suffering and the correc-
tion Of vice. Only as q first measure and
as last measure is food or money be-
slowed. In the former case persons
claiming to be starving or In urgent and
immediate want are provided with the ne
cessities OF life pending an investigation.
II after investigation there appears to be
no other means Of dealing with the case.
the funds of the citizens relief or the
benefaction fund of the Associated Chart-
ties are drawn upon.
THE work of the Associated Charities
Of Washington IL conducted on a business
and scientific basis. as well as an indi-
vidual sympathetic basis. The strongest
evidence that the affairs OF the Asso-
ciated Charities are wisely administered
Is the fact that the system in effect here
is practically the same as that which
prevails in $50 societies Of similar char
acter located throughout the country.

men who have at heart the desire to re-
lisve distress. and through their connec-

Individual aid. There are also some three
hundred unpaid volunteer workers, men

Our great dificulty." said Mr.. Jen-
nings, lis to get people to understand
and appreciate the purposes and the
working plans of these charitable organ
izations. Most well-to-dO people instinc-
lively desire to relieve the distress which,
comes to their notice. but they find it I'M
practicable to take sufficient time from
their busy lives to satisfy themselves as
to the merits Of the appeals which are
constantly being made to them. Now
what is the obvious thing for such kindly
disposed people to do? The obvious and
in fact, the only wise thing to do is to
delegate the investigation Of such cases
TO those who have both the time and the
training for such work and then to give
them moral and financial support"
Mr.. Jennings. upon being asked to make
some statement concerning the criticism
that so much of the money contributed to
the Associated Charities is spent in sal
aries, said: II am glad you have brought
up this point. for the criticism. although
very unjust, can do the cause very great
injury among those who hear only that
side Of the case. This criticism has been
very fully answered in the report made
by the commission OF inquiry, OF which
Justice STAFFORD was chairman, which
commission was appointed by the Com
missioners Of the District Of Columbia
about q year ago. During that investiga-
ton all Of the affairs of the association
were laid bare and the whole work. the
personnel, the methods, the accounts. the
records. ETC., OF the Associated Charities,
the Citizens Relief Association. the Provi-
dent Savings Fund. the Summer Outings
and the Golden Book Fund. all kindred
and allied societies, were. after thorough
Investigation. found to be free from any
cause for censure or criticism, and the
entire work was most highly commended

Paid Workers Number Nineteen.

"The entire force of trained and paid
workers numbers only nineteen, and they
receive a total compensation OF only
$1,000 per annum. At the head OF this
force is the secretary. who is the eX-
ecutive officer for all of the various
boards. His duties require tact. insight
and initiative. as well as great industry.
In any great commercial enterprise St1ch
all ofiicer would command compensation
equal to the total salary roll OF this Or
ganixation. 1t must be remembered that
one-twentieth Of all the families In. this
city are visited by the trained members
OF this corps and by volunteer workers.
My own criticism is that We have too few
trained workers, and that they are IN
sufflciently paid for the great work that
they are doing.
III il were a fact that the only work
performed consisted OF doing out the
funds Of the Citizens Relief Association
the organization would have no right 20

in personal touch with the poor and dis

in need and what x!nd OF help Will be

They find out to what churches they
belong, what relatives they have, and
they secure such other information as
will aid in an intelligent handling or the
