Declined to Comment

Asked why, in his estimation, the as sociation had closed the dormitory, MT Gelders declined to give his opinion as to whether or not it was done to sup port public appeal for funds
 But the dormitory is not closed and will not be-" he said. "There were nearly hundred men slept in it last night and I suppose there are fully as many there tonight"
 MT. Hill stated last night that he thought it would be entirely feasible to operate the dormitory alone and without the woodward, which yester- day was closed down because 1t was said there was no sale for the product made there.
 He stated that he fully realized the seriousness of throwing 100 or more homeless men upon the community with no place to sleep
 q believe the public will give enough, money to keep this dormitory open for another month at least" said MT Gel ders, "when the warm weather will be here and it's need will not be so keenly felt. know that it can be oper- ated for not more than $20 per month, 'oA thC oiiiS tilllS icctSSdTy IS steam heat to warm the bath water and a small amount of electric light.
 Tt would be serious thing to turn those men out onto the city in weather like this I'm sure that some means will be found of keeping the dormitory open. It seems that if they have the building, their laundry, their water, that surely the remainder of the ne- cessities of these men will be supplied from some SOurce"
 Holds Newspapers Responsible
 No one can imagine the terrible con sequences to the poor and needy of BIr- mingham," yesterday said Mrs. w. D. Smith, If the Associated Charities is compelled to close its doors. I hold the newspapers guilty of cutting the throat of thei Associated Charities
 Mrs. Smith is president of the Womens 8 Auxiliary of the Associated Charities, body of women which has had charge of the women's work room department of the association, and she stated yesterday that unless some financial aid was given by the public this work would be com yelled to stop entirely.
 Last Saturday night the women who weave rugs and sew in our work rooms at Twenty-second street and First ave- nue went home without their days pay in groceries said Mrs. Smith yesterday.
 
 them were gone, and you can imagine what joyful Sunday dinner I ate next day.
 "It nearly breaks my heart to think of those poor women, all of whom have from four to eight children, going back to their little four-walled homes, and in answer to the appeals of their babies, hold out empty hands
 They are honest and honorable women, most of them wives Of working men or widows with no support. You only need to look into their faces to see their hum ble appeal for aid, which their pride keeps struggling to conceal. They are paid by us 70 cents for each days work and given groceries instead of the money. But we must have money to buy these groceries with, and it's all gone'
 Mrs. Smith stated that the women con- templated having a Rag Day" upon VI which the public would be asked to donate

Ralph R. Silver Says Persistence of Directors in Retaining McGrath Despite Unpopularity Resulted in

MRS. W. D. SMITH

Contrary to announcement of off, oormitory at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, where about 100 unemployed men have been sleeping for the past several weeks. was not closed yesterday.
 Assistant Secretary Hill of the asso- ciation stated last night that the dor mitory had been closed. Secretary W. M. McGrath, MT. Hill stated, was in Florida. Louis Ge1ders. owner of the building, stated that the dormltory was not closed and would not be closed
 MT. Gelders challenged the state ment of the Associated Charities in yes- terday mornings Age-Herald in which it was stated the dormitory had been closed on account of a lack of funds MT. Gelders owns the building.
 Tt is entirely misleading and false to state that this dormitory was closed for lack of funds" said MT. Gelders. Tt takes no funds for the association to conduct this dormitory except a very slight expense for soap and some few such articles. I give them the use of the building free, the water com rany gives free the water the men use for their baths. The Acme laundry did the washing for the dormitory free the first month, the Empire did it free the second month, the American did it free the third month and the Excel sior is doing it now. So that there is practically no expense attached to the dormitory from the Associated Char ities standpoint"

why. sir. did. as far as that goes.
but it was nothing to boast Of, ,
Hadn't twenty cops, specially detail

Il believe So
And didn't every member OF the gang
There was something of the sort. I

well, give me the story

in which to accomplish what the force
hadn't done in year, or / was to

But don't call that fair"
TT wouldn't have been by anybody
else. but l was Casey, you see, and he
knew it,
And you set forth"
Il did. sir. i never went anyWhereS
yet but what I first set forth. I knew
where the headquarters of the Red
Rockers were, and l appeared there
at midnight"
You were armed TO the teeth"
II had four six-shooters."
But as there were only twenty in
the gang you had four shots too
many"
But you see some of them might
need second shot"
Correct. Mr., casey. Did you find
the gang all there"
Every mothers son Of them. sir"
And did you order them to throw
up their hands"
81 did"
And when each one drew gun in

We all began firing. sir"
And when the ruction was over, Mr..
Casey"
Il lay there sound asleep among the
twenty dead Red Hookers"
Sound asleep"
Yes. sir. It had tired me out kill

There was an awful silence for two

You ought to have spared at least

ARIZONA KICkLETS


Ring the bell twice and wipe your feet
on the mat.
Col. Dawson. who lives on the Red
Clay road. is a good hearted man, but
a crank. He sent us in for publica-
ton a few days ago a bitter attack
on Judas Iscariot. We thought Judas
had been pitched into quite enough
during the last eighteen hundred
years. and therefore refused TO pub
lish the coloneIs article. He at once
stopped his paper and threatened to
shoot US We rode out to his home yes
terday and had it out with him. That
is, we drove him under cover. fired
twenty-siN budllets around his ears
and received his surrender and 4 new
subscription. We have to do this twice
a year. but we do it cheerfully. and
should be read sorry to hear of the
coloners death.
We have always been proud Of the
fine shooting to be found IN this town.
and II pleases us to know that most
of the citizens maintain their ambi
ton in this direction. AS a test in
the matter, we put on a plug hat the
other day and started down Apache
avenue. Before we had gone two
blocks the hat was shot of our head
with bullets, leaving only tho rim
on our hair. 1t was quick. neat work.
and we heartily congratulate each of
the twenty different men who had 4
