Blizzard Drives Home Neces-
sity of Central Head to SUI
pervise Distribution of Inn
mediate Aid.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
COMMITTEE TO MEET
Jordan Hopes Charity Organ
izatiOns will Assist in De.
velopment of Idea to Sys-
temiZe EndeavOr.

Need of a central charity bureau
with an efficient head was demon
strated by the suffering attending the
blizzard which struck Richmond Sun
day and continued without abatement
until today.
meeting has been called for
cial club rooms for the purpose Of or
ganizing the proposed bureau. All
charitable societies are requested to
send representatives, instructed as 20
whether their respective organiza-
tions will join the bureau.
Charles Jordan, father Of the move
ment. in speaking of the plan today,
said that 1t would have three good re-
suits:
1. Would assist in the raising OF
funds.
2. Money would be judiciously ex-
pended; there would be no duplica-
tions and no INDECENT persons missed.
3. Study of problems in how to
bring about relief in a permanent way
Sees Permanent Aid.
According to Mr.. Jordan most Of
the organizations are heartily in ia
vor of the idea and will cooperate.
1t is Mr.. Jordan's opinion that it will
bring about efficiency in all phases
of charity work and will do much to-
wards bringing about temporary and
also permanent relief.
In this connection Mayor Robbins
has offered suggestion to Mr. Jor-
dan which the former believes can be
worked out satisfactorily. The city
executive believes that secretary
should be appointed for the bureau
who could also perform the duties of
a police matron.
Provides Work.
During the winter the secretary
could devote most of her time to the
work of the charity bureau and in the
summer when there is little charity
work she could spend her time in look
| ing after young girls" said the may
or. 81 have not given this matter
much thought but l believe something
Of the sort would be good thing.
| The city and the bureau could pay
her salary"
The recent cold spell has shown
the need Of a centralized charity body.
This fact is proved by persons who
we're in dire circumstances and in
need of instant aid. Many telephon
ed social workers but we're referred
to others and these in turn told the
applicants to talk to some other Off
Ger in the charitable society. Temper
airy relief, consequently, was not OBJ
tained in many cases and in other
cases it was not received until late
today.
A charity bureau, it is believed
with a person at its head who is au-
thorized to give instant aid where it
is needed, will do much to solve the
problem.
! The Associated Charities, township
trustee and school attendance officer
were busy today issuing orders for
coal and provisions to worthy per
| sons.

DEALERS IN COAL
HAVE BUSY Time.
Report Heaviest Business in
Years Although There Is
No Danger of Famine.

With the arrival of the blizzard
came the demand for coal, local deal
ers reporting the heaviest business in
years. The offices Of dealers Of the
city being literally flooded with ord
ers.
Practically every concern has put
on an additional force of men in an
effort to fill the orders.
Condition of the streets makes the
delivery of coal next to impossible,
the heavy wagons proving too much
for the horses to pull, in many cases
horses becoming exhausted and hav-
ing to be replaced before trip can
be completed.
The demand for coal, coming from
the poorer districts of the city was
never greater. many persons asking
for small amounts, as low as 25 cents
worth. Inability Of the coal compan
les to fill these orders is causing
many home to be without warmth,
and only break in the weather will
alleviate conditions.
There is no immediate danger Of a
coal famine in this city as dealers
have a good supply on hand.

"PALL" CARRIERS
DELIVER ON TIME

Despite the many feet of snow and
frequent drifts in the outlying dis
tricts the Palladium carrier boys were
able to make their deliveries on
scheduled time. An automobile was
engaged to take the papers to the var
ious sub-stations. This gave the Pal
ladium carriers a chance to make
their deliveries long before any other
newspapers were in the same terri
tory, in addition to the fact that ii
saved them a long walk to the city
office.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-General
Villas plea of mot guilty" in connec-
ton with the disappearance of Gus
tave Bauch will not be accepted by
the state department unless the miss
ing man is found, according to infor-
nation secured from an authoritative
source today.
Discrepancies between the state
ment of Villa and his officers at Juar-
ez, who admitted that the American
had been taken to Chihuahua for trial,
remain to be explained. Villas fail
ure to send the body of William S.
BENTON across the border to his widow
upon her request, has tended to
strengthen the belief that an examin-
alton OF the body would show that
Benton was not executed by a firing
squad.
The excuses that Benton's grave
was unmarked and therefore could not
be located, as put forth by Officers at
Juarez, will hardly hold water, accord
ing to the belief expressed by Off
cialS today

CITY OF CHIHUAHUA, Feb. "a
Gustav Bauch, the American for
whom Secretary Bryan has command
ed a trial from the Constitutionalist
was freed a week ago at Juarez ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Gen. Villa today. The statement from
the rebel leader was received with

the American prisoner had been taken
to this city to stand trial on charges of
being a spy.
Villa also declared that he had no
knowledge of three other men Law

friends at Ell Paso fear that they have
met the same fate as that of w. S.
Benton. the Englishman who was put
to death.
