HOSPITAL FUND
TOTALS S25,2lO
Women Collectors Raise 81, 900
Today in Aid Of Orange
Institution.

When the women collectors for the
$500, 900 fund for st. Mary's Hospital
in Orange gathered today for lunch
con at the Plaza Hotel it was an
nounced that $1,000 had been added
today to the fund. The total col
lected since the campaign started on
Tuesday now amounts TO $25,210.
There's a battle royal in progress
between the men and women who are
collecting funds for st. Mary's Hos
pital, Orange. They're all so enthusi-
astic about getting the $780, 900 the
hospital needs for an addition in the
ten-day time limit that they're sacri-
f1cing time, business and pleasure in
their efforts to beat out one another.
When the present campaign was in
augurated the projectors had the good
sense to arrange the men and women
who volunteered to help the work
along into separate teams, pitting
them against each other. The result
has been most satisfactory, for when
the collectors gathered for a supper
at the Plaza Hotel last night it was
announced that the first two days
work of the campaign had netted
$25, 900.
DIR. Charles W. Banks. who is in
charge of the campaign, is managing
to keep the two teams strung to the
proper pitch. How we'll he is succeed
ing is shown by the fact that the col
are declaring they will be sorry
when the campaign closes.
Mrs. T. O'Conor Sloane, chairman of
the women's committee, has told her
sister workers to impress on those
they approach that St. Mary's Hos
pita1 is not the only institution they
are willing to aid. This is taken to
mean that other campaigns for other
charitable institutions in the Oranges
may follow the present one.
Among the individual subscriptions
announced last night were the follow
ing: William Runkle, $4,000; Charles
A. Whelan. $1,000; Michael Winter
and Wolfgang Winter, $1,000 each;
George H. Hartford, former Mayor
of Orange, $1,000; State Senator Aus
ten Colgate, School Commissioners
Sidney M. Colgate, Police Commits
sioner Manton q. Metcalf, $500 each;
DR.. T. O'Conor Sloane, of South Or
ange, $3.50; Mayor Arthur B. Sey-
mour, of Orange, his successor,
Frank ]. Murray, and
Mayor Julian A. Gregory, of East
Orange, $50 each. Charles M. Decker
e Bros, Roth & Co. and Miss Mary
A. O'Rourke gave 500 each.

UNCLE SAM IS ANGRY
over the Execution at Parral Of
Thomas Fountain, an American. by
Mexican Rebels

Washington, April 13-The indfgna-
tion of state department officials over
the execution of Thomas Fountain the
American gunner who was captured by
the rebels a. Parral, is believed to be
certain to prejudice any attempt on the
part of Mexican rebels to secure any
recognition of belligerent rights, so
necessary to a successful conduct of
their campaign.
The state department did everything g
in its power to prevent the execution.
which in its opinion was in viola tion of
the rules of war of all civilized coun-
tries. telegram received yesterday
from American Consul Letcher at Chi
huahua, dated on April and much de-
layed in transmission. said that the
consul had protested TO the rebel chiefs
against the execution of Fountain, not
only at Chihuahua, but at Parral,
where the man was arrested. Howev-
er, he had just heard through the local
papers, which he believed to be ac-
curate,- that Fountain had been tried
and executed that morning.
In the opinion of the state depart
ment the mans killing was a deliber-
ate murder.
