FUNDS ARE NEEDED
FOR SANE FOURTH
Only 10 Out of $4,000 Persons
Have Contributed to the
Amount.

The committee in charge OF the safe
and sane Fourth OF July celebration has
raised only about half Of the amount
required to defray the expense Of the
festivities. The public has again been
appealed to. and it is felt certain that
the people OF the city will respond nobly
10 the call.
The celebration will cost between 5000
and 500 Out OF the city containing
approximately $1,000 persons, only 10
have so far subscribed to the fund
The safe and sane celebrations during
the past three years have proved much
more successful than those Independence
Days when persons neld their own small
demonstrations.
There will be many features to the
festivities on the Fourth and II Is only
Just that the people OF the city. who
wish 10 enjoy the celebration. should con-
! tribute a small amount toward the fund
for the defrayment Of the expenses.
There will be band concerts. athletic
events. aeroplane flights, hydroplane ex-
hibitions, canoe races, fireworks, and the
illumination OF Pennsylvania Avenue at
night.
New Way Safest.
The superiority of the safe and sane
Fourth over the old type Of celebration
was pointed out last night by Commits
siOner Cuno H. Rudolph, who is chair
man Of the committee in charge OF the
festivities.
In 1905" he said. fireworks were De-
mitted, and there were lO4 persons treat
ed IN Washington hospitals fo- injuries
from explosives. In 1909. 1919. ana 1911,
the safe and sane Fourth was in crara-
ton and not one case OF injuries result
ing from the use OF explosives was
taken in by the hospitals. In 1903 there
were 2l5 deaths in cities throughout tn,
country from explosives on july I. IN
1911 the safe and sane celebration move
nent had grown % such an extent that
but fifty-seven deaths were reported
against 4bG in 1903. President Taft has
Endorsed the safe and sa7s Fourth m
these words: I am heartily in favor
with the movement to rid the celebra-
ton OF our country's Catpl day OF those
distressing accidents that might be
avoided. and are merely due 30 a reck-
Iessness again & SlnSLs the rubE, II O.
test cannot be too emphatic"

Fourth fund should be addressed to
George W. White, treasurer Of the COM
mittee, at the National Metropolitan
Bank. Contributions, however small Will
be gladly accepted. E. c. Graham,
president Of the National Electrical Sup
ply Company, is one of those taking an !
active part in the raising Of the fund.
