EXPENSES CUT BY
EXPRESS FIRMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-More than
5000 employees of the big express
companies have been thrown out Of
work by an economy policy" which
the companies have adopted. officials
of the company to-day declared that
the policy was caused by a double
blow-inroads by the parcel post sys-
tenn and the big reduction in rates
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which became effective
February l.
Orders have been issued by the eX-
ecutive officers of the companies to
"cut expenses" in every way, possible,
and it was predicted to-day that sew
eral thousand other employees will
lose their jobs or suffer a salary re-
dutcion.
Not only are the express companies
reducing their working forces to save
money, but in thousands Of the
smaller cities, where two or more
companies have operated under sep
arate roofs, they are reducing rental
and drayage cost by housing all COM
panies under one roof
The American Express Company
had about $4,000 men in its employ
before February /, but it is under
stood that between 1900 and 1000
have been let out. The United States
Express Company reduced its work
ing force of nearly $4,000 to about
$4,000, ana like reductions are said to
have been made by the Wells Fargo,
Adams AMI other big companies.

IN HELP FOR STARVING;
FUND IS GROWING FAST

tinue. or that death will overtake the
sufferers before aid reaches them.
The war victims already are dying
in droves. William Leveson Cover, a
member of the family of the Duke of
Sutherland, who has just returned to
London from a trip through Albania
and Bulgaria, has this to say of con-
ditions:
THE plight of the refugees in
Soutari is peculiarly distressing. Not
only have their homes been burht by
invaders, but they are also victims of
tribal troubles. Refugees have con-
gregated in immense numbers at Ell
bassan and Tirans, where they are
lodged chiefly in disused barrack
buildings, which, in many cases, are
without roofs, windows or doors and
are most unsuited for the rigors OF
the fierce winter.
Lack Food and Shelter.
Many came hither from Dibra, the
center of the recent Albanian rising,
and arrived in most pitiable condi-
ton. Judge of their state now, after
several weeks stay in a place where
neither food nor shelter is available
for them!
Money is urgently needed. first to
save the refugees from perishing from
cold and starvation, and second to re-
build their homes. Local relief re-
sources are practically negligible"
Famine has stalked among the de-
PRAYED and uncivilized for centuries,
brol ght about by various causes. But
in this instance it is an enlightened
people, who have led the battle for
humane principles, who are dying.
Persons who have seen something of
the misery in the stricken districts
declare that the situation is without
parallel in the annals of civilized
nation.
Babies and Mothers Dying.
The crisis has arrived. Babies and
their mothers are dying for lack of
food. The situation is not fully real
lied in the United States, else every
purse string would be loosed for the
relief of the sufferers.
Authorities who doubted and made
personal trips of inspection have been
Mortified by their discoveries. Women
become mothers upon the hillsides,
absolutely without shelter. Hundreds
in a community subsist upon daily
allowances OF bread and water.
Others who are less fortuante do
not always get that much and they
are starving by the hundreds every
day. Others, without shelter or
clothes, are freezing. Thus death
hedges the refugees on all sides. The
price of bread has reached the pro-
hibitive price of 35 cents.

Bell Blanche Believes Firmly in
Adherence to IdeaIs-Scorns
to Use "Tricks."

Miss Bell Blanche is one actress
who believes firmly that adherence to
ideals is a better stage policy than
tricks of the trade"-that is, the va
rious "mthods" and subterfuges
adopted by so many to get it across
the footlights.
Miss Blanche is at the Forsyth this
week, and there certainly is no doubt
that she gets it across" Her imper-
sonations are meeting with an almost
extravagant welcome.
"And yet" said Miss Blanche Il
sometimes fear / am becoming eN-
treme in my adherence to ideals. The
only thing that treasures me is the
kindness of the theater- going public.
Somehow, this art of ours seems to
me a thing too high and honorable TO
be cheapened by mad scramble aft
er up to- date tricks and so-ealled
modern methods.
There IS no particular reason why
stage art should be subject to whims
and fancies any more than literature,
or music, or painting. There are GER
tain fixed standards in allEor at least
there should be. In my own small
way, | am trying to find the true
standard of the stage and to live up 10
it. or course, It is gratifying to find
that the effort is appreciated

CAVE WOMAN g
TRAC|CFL|GHT
LAID BARE
Mrs. Folsom, Writer of Famous
Dawn Letter." Deserted by
Ranchman Brute.

Los ANGELES, CAL. Feb. S.-The
innermost tragedy of tortured wo-
mans soul was laid bare here to-
day
The woman is Mrs Florence Fol-
som Williams.
Her story is the anti climax of
weird reversion to the cave woman
type, which startled the whole coun-
try by the fierceness of its sudden
resolve when she left her husband
ten months ago.
Mrs. Folsom tells how she became
infatuated with brute strength in man
by seeing the play, The Great Dr.
vide"
Her ruthless viyisectlon of her
own heart and her own mind reveals
her temperamental nature-the nature
which prompted her to destroy the
humdrum peace OF her wealthy and
refined household in New York to run
away with Gus Williams, a Nevada
ranchman.
She tells how she was fascinated
with Williams strength and his sub
lime brutality. and how it beat down
all the barriers between her and the
open road with Williams.
Was Wife of Rich Lawyer.
At that time she was the wife OF
Charles Dwight Folsom, a rich New
York lawyer. To-day she is penni-
less, wanderer upon the face of the
earth, with only her 15-year- son
| as her hope.
Without mentioning Williams name
once, she told how, from love to hate,
from plenty to starvation, from hap
piness to the wretched state of the
social pariah her life had been ruined
| by her passions.
OF Williams she once wrote to her
| husband in the famous dawn let
ter"
Williams has treated me with
crushing brutality, but he has
also treated me with the utmost
| kindness. He is a man in whom
| good and evil are strangely
blended. love him in every
way. I never loved you one-tenth
| as well. nor any other. He Is my
natural mate. l suffered hell at
his hands, but I shall say nothing
further of him.
The strange recital begins with the
story of her fight from Williams.
After She Left Williams.
Il and my son fed she said, slow
toiled to be together, and we have
achieved our purpose-we are to-
| gether.
| Looking back upon the past year
it seems that my heroic boy and
