RED Gross
Is Ready to Disburse Funds
But the State Must
Raise Them.

ATLANTIC CITY. y. j., Sept. IT.
Politics and mining troubles have
80 absorbed public attention in West
Virginia that few in the state seem
TO realize that a neighborly emer-
gency has arisen within the last two
weeks" said E. C. Routzalm. OF New
York. who has been spending some
time in the state. Following a
last personal visit to Collier ven
ture a last word OF reminder to the
public spirited citizens of the state.
So far as know only Wheeling
papers have published a series OF
interviews which set forth the little
understood facts about the Collier
situation which has been overshad-
owed by other events. The com
plete wiping out OF tn business ma
chinery of the town and the abso-
lutte need of cooperation so that the
town may take care OF itself during
the winter which win soon arrive
have not been revealed to the state
buplic bodies and public officials.
There may be misapprehen-
sion in one direction. The American
Red Cross sent modest $500 for
emergency relief. but the Red Cross
can not furnish the funds needed to
put the people on .neir feet. The
Red Cross can only distribute wisely
what West Virginia gives it to use.
Wheeling and Cleveland Associated
Charities have loaned two trained
workers when they were not needed
at home, but those workers can do
nothing further unless West vir-
gina gives them something to work
with. The two have made the very
necessary preparations to spend with
special wisdom whatever is to be
spent. but so far they have practical
ly nothing to spend beyond keeping
the folks from hunger and naked
ness for the time being. BY the
time this interview is read in West
Virginia the two workers in Collier
must be tremendously embarrassed
by not being atee to do the things
which they believe should be done
by the good neighbors OF the stricken
town. But 1t is not the spirit that
is lacking, 1T is the lack of under
standing of the needs"

NEW FA[)S.
Do Not Bring Real Benefits
Like Good Roads Do in
This Country.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 49,
Giving her complete approval to the
purposes OF the american Road Con-
gress when is to be held in Atlantic
City September 30 October 5, and
making plea for the restoration OF
the old Trails Road, Mrs. Donald
Mclean. honorary prcsident-general
OF the Daughters Of the American
Revolution, in an interview declares
that more real prosperity will he
brought to the United States by the
development OF plrblic highways than
by many OF the new-fad movements
that Are engaging the attention of the
country at the present time.
Speaking specifically Of the especial
interest taken by the Daughters oc the
American Revolution in the .Qld
Trails Road, AIRS. Mclean says:
Such Old Trail is natures high
way. followed first by the buffalo, then
by the heroic settlers, who carried
civilization across the continent. No
table among such pioneers are Daniel
Boone. James Brides and Kit Carson.
The natural Old Trails highway Is the
only road of such character conceived
of and endorsed by women. And to a
woman must be credited the sugges-
ton that telegraph and telephone
poles along this national highway
should bear markings of red, white
and blue bands. so that transcont-
mental travellers and tourists by fol-
lowing the flag need neither guide
nor road map. and yet cannot be
LOST ~..a f"o4.-
In her letter to president Page Il
the Road Congress. Mrs. Mclean
says that she believes the work of the
congress will have remarkable in
fIuence on the happiness and pros
pc ity of the country, and adds:
1T would seem emInently suitable
and credltable that the congress
should endorse this Daughters of the
American Revolution project. making
the transcontinental highway that Of
the Old Trails, thus insuring a patri-
otto as well as practical interest in
such touring. AID also intoxicating
without effort a knowledge OF Amer
lean history in its earliest develop
ment.'
Mrs. Mclean has accepted the In
vltatlon of the directors of the con-
gress to make an address at one OF
the sessions in Atlantic City.

institution of this character was
opened in Providence. R. /. On jan
uary l, 1910. there were only
thirteen open air schools in this
country and year later the mum
Der had increased to twenty-nine.
Thus. the real growth in this move
ment has been with the last two
years.
Massachusetts, now leads the states
With e:ghty-six fresh air schools and
classes for tuberculous, anaemlc and
other school children, Boston alone
having over eighty. New York
comes next with twenty-nlne, and
Ohio is third with twenty-one. Open
air schools have now been estab.
lished in nearly fifty cities in nine
teen different states.
Based on figures OF population
and mortality furnished by the
United States Bureau OF the Census,
1t is estimated that not less than
1000 children now in school in
the United States will die Of tuber-
culosis before they are eighteen
years of age, or that about 1000 OF
these children die annually from
this one disease. Estimating that
on an average each child who dies
from tuberculosis has had six years
of schooling, the aggregate loss to
this country in wasted education
each year amounts to we'll over ST.
100000.
THIS loss and much of the inciden!
suffering could be materially de-
creased II open air schools or classes
for these children and those who are
slckly and anaemic were provided.
The National Association estimates
that there should be one such school
for every, $4,000 population. espe-
cially in cities.

At New York Mrs. Marchesi, the
young wife of Theodore Marchesi,
printer, was shot twice in the heart
and killed shortly before midnight
Thursday night in her home in the

EXCHANGING VILE EP1THETS.
Beckham and Watterson Arc Abus'
ing Each Other.

A dispatch from Louisville, KY,
says the feud between farmer Gov
ernor Beckhann, who has espoused
the cause of Woodrow Wilson IN Ken
lucky, and Henry Watterson has
reached the stage Of personalities.
Under the heading, "a Diseased
Liar" and "The illumination Of a
Coarse Blackguard and an illiterate
Blatherskite," the Courier-Journal
this morning prints an attack on
Watterson made by Beckham in an
other paper Thursday afternoon COM
menting by way Of introduction to
what Beckham said:
The following rigamarole OF dirt,
malevolence and lying was yesterday
put forth by the most Infamous mem
Der OF the frm OF Haly, Beckham &
Co."
Accompanying the article was an
editorial by Mr.. Watterson in the
same vein. The attack On Mr.. Wat
tersoa by former Governor Beckham
is no less severe, charging him with
"deliberate and wilful falsehood, y
being devoid OF all sense Of honor
and wanting in every instinct Of a
gentleman.

flag CALLED DIRTY Rag
RED BANNER OF ANARCHY DIS
PLACED OLD GLORY.
Stars and Stripes Torn Down and
Trampled Under Foot at Meeting
of Socialists and Workers Union.

The Stars and Stripes were torn
down and trampled under foot and q
red flag substituted during a fierce
fight at May Day meeting of the
Socialist party and affiliated unions
in Union Square Park, New York,
late Wednesday. That serious pam
ic did not ensue is believed to have
been due to the fact that thousands
Of persons on the outskirts Of the
crowd did not know what the trouble
was.
Responsibility for the tearing
down Of the flag is disclaimed by the
Socialists, who assert that members
of the Industrial Workers Of the
World committed the act. The So
cialist representatives on the plat
form appear to have done their best
tc protect the national co!ors.
The trouble started at the conclu-
sion Of a parade Of 5000 men and
women, who gathered Ia the park for
speech-making. Red banners, the
emblems Of Socialism, already adorn-
ed the speakers platform and the
band was playing the "MarseiHaise"
when the Stars and Stripes were car
ried to the stand as the first speaker
was about to be Introduced.
Instantly there was the widest ex-
citement. "Take that dirty rag
down." went up cry from the crowd.
But those on the platform held their
ground and some with cooler heads
tried to quiet the tunult that had
broken out.
eve don't recognize that flag"
cried a man in front as he tried to
reach the platform. That cry was
taken up by others, a number OF
whom fought their way to the plat
form. Those on the platform tried
to protect the flag and a fist fight
resulted, in which lone policeman
was the only officer VINO figured. His
club knocked three men down. Sey-
eral men were tossed bodily over the
platform rail into the crowd. Bloody
faces were numerous.
The big American flag was finally
torn down and hurled to the ground.
Miss Caroline Dexter, a member of
the Socialist party, a tall muscular
woman, elbewed her way to where
the fallen banner lay.
Men like you ought to be shot,
she cried as she gathered up the flag.
She met no resistance anc carried the
flag home with her. With nothing
but red banners to decorate the plat
form the meeting proceeded, but the
programme as arranged by the So
cialist party had to be given u2 and
the speakers were mostly from among
the ranks OF the Industrial Workers
OF the World

WARD CLUB FOR CAUSE.
Recognized Blease Advocate, Being
Defeated in Home Club. Joins An

|
The Columbia correspondent o.
The News and Courier says George
R. Rem bert, who was on lats Satur
day night left off the list Of delegates
to the Richland County Convention
from Ward /, in which he is a resi-
dent and in which club he was en-
rolled, is now enrolled in Ward
Club, his name having been put on
that club roll since the action Of
Ward l Club in leaving him out Of the
list of delegates.
While no statement has been is
sued along this line, it is presumed
that Mr.. Rembert will be IN the Coun-
ty Convention as a delegate from
Ward 5, and this action toreshadows
fight in the Richland County Con
vention between the friends and op-
ponents OF Governor Blease, for Mr.
Rembert is the recognized Blease
leader in this county, and the action
Of the Ward Club in leaving him
out Of the list of delegates is con-
ceded TO have been the work OF the
opponents Of the Governor.
The action Of Mr.. Rembert in NOV
ing his name to Ward 5, which Is
known as the mill ward, following
the action OF his home club in leaV-
ing out his name from the list Of del
egates to the County Convention is
similar to the action Of Governor
Blease at Newberry, the Governor be-
ing chosen delegate to the New
berry County Convention from an
other club following the action Of his
home club in turning him down as g
delegate.
Everyone looks for Mr.. Rembert in
the County Convention and also looks
for a big fight between the Blease
and Anti-Blease forces. They con-
slider the action gf Mr.. Remoert to
mean that he will cary the fight to
the floor Of the County Convention
and endeavor to go to the State Con-
vention, and it has been rumored
that Mr.. Rembert is looking to one
of the places on this districts delega-
ton to Baltimore. That Mr.. Rembert
will lead the fight for Blease dele
CATION to the State Convention is
what everyone expects, and the meet
ing Of the Richland Convention ror
rext Monday is looked forward to
