WOMEN WORKERS
HOPE TO SECURE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
Churches Aid in Campaign
for Home for Y.
w. G. A.

Managers Of the Y. w. c. A. building
fund campaign hope that the scores of
persons in Washington who are still
considering whether or not they wish
to. contribute will decide tomorrow, the
last day of the campaign. that they
will help increase the fund. Many people
have manifested interest in the cam
paign who have not yet actually con-
tributed money.
The option on the site at Thirteenth
and ! streets. which Is owned by five
different persons, expires May Is. The
money already subscribed Is practically
sufficient to buy the site, so that the
money paid for the option will not be
lost. The sll2,Oo0 total now subscribed
includes a conditional contribution OF
$1,000. and while hope Is entertained that
this subscription will be paid anyway
II is necessary that $4,000 be raised
outside OF this in order to comply with
the letter OF the conditions under which
this sum was given.
In practically all churches of Wash
ington today mention OF the Y. w.
g. A. fund was made in prayers and
sermons. Envelopes were handed at the
doors TO those who attended services.
These envelopes could be used for cash
written on them. a Joint meeting of the
Y. NJ. c. A. and the Y. w. c. A. will
be held at the Y NJ. c. A. building at

A broken flange Is believed by the

ascertain the cause of the Texas & Pa

caused the trouble
At the investigation Thursday morn
ing. it was found that the baggage car
had run along the ties after being de-
rallied for over mile and a half. and
when the wheels struck the spur the
train split. The derailment of the bag
gage car was caused b. the breaking of
a flange on one wheel
