HELP FOR THOSE
WHO ARE IN NEED
BUT NO GENERAL INVITATION is
/ EXTENDED TO THIS LOAF
| ING ELEMENT.

While the appeals ror provisions,
fuel and clothing have been fewer
during the past two days than the first
were made at the Associated Chart
ties yesterday for help, Although a
large number OF negroes continue to
visit the headquarters, the crowds are
nothing like the one of Saturday,
when more than 1000 were lined up
in front of the building. DIR. Buchan-
an has issued a warning TO the city
against the announcement OF a ration
line. He declares that 1t will cause
every negro foafer in Richmond To
apply to him for help, thereby taking
the bread from those who really are
In need Of help.
Many Of the city's unemployed came
to DIR. Buchanan yesterday in search
OF work, and about fifty of them were
placed in the wood yard. A wagon
was used to collect contributions made
during the day, while an auto truck
was pressed into service delivering
wood and coal To those in need.
A large quantity of groceries were
given away to the poor. while many
articles OF clothing and shoes were
sent out to the various visiting COM
mittees throughout the city for distri-
button to those who have made appli-
cation.
DI. Buchanan says he VIII gladly
receive any articles of clothing and
with be glad to send TO any section OF
the city after them.

RETAIL BUSINESS
I. PROSPECTS BRIGHT
MERCHANTS FEEL THAT 1915 HAS
MUCH GOOD IN STORE FOR
THEM.

The committee. authorized recently
by the Beard OF Directors of the Rich
mond Retail Merchants Association,
and named by President Charles T.
Norman to perfect the arrangements
for the annual meeting of the associa-
tion Will. within a few days, have the
program completed. The committee is
headed by Carl Boschen. and Is made
up of j. G. Coriey. w. II. Schwars-
child. Nathan Simon. Louis Kaufman,
Charles Rose and Walker E.. Cottrell-
The date for the meeting. originally
set for January 81, has been changed
by the directors OF the association to
January IS. The meeting place has
not been definitely fixed.
The directors at their last meeting.
at which Second Vice-President Julius
c. Levitt presided. heard very good re-
ports from several of the association
members, The reports showed that
business had been better In 1914 than
the merchants had anticipated, tina,
the outbreak of European hostilities
had not so seriously interfered with
the retail business MS had been antici-
pated. and that the outlook for the
new year is much brighter than was
the outlook al the beginning of 1914
Reports of members on the eff
fectiveness of the protection secured
by them from shoplifters showed that
the detectives OF the Burns Agency,
who have been in Richmond since the
middle OF October, have caused q
number of arrests, and that the mer-
chants are prosecuting the cases. Sew
erai cases are yet to be heard. The
association Is also making an effort to
break up the practice of those who
defraud through bad checks.
The arrests already made and the
publicity given the cases has greatly
reduced the activities of shoplifters
and bad check operators. The associa-
ton has decided to keep the opera
tives of the detective agency In this
city and ut work in their stores. Roth
men and women detectives are en-
gagged In the work.
