WALKER STARTS RELIEF FUND
Turns Over 81 Returned to Him from
Fireworks Contributions.

Editor of The Rcformer:-
Because OF my letter in The Re.
former with regard to using the Fourth
of July fireworks fund for the benefit
of Company l boys my own little con-
triburion OF one dollar has been re-
turned to me by those in charge.
This was tseXactly my idea of the
way this money should be turned over,
but as it comes to me as a sort of chal-
lcnge l shall accept the same, and in
stead of $50 we will start this fund
with one dOll0r. | have turned it over
to Col. J. Gray Estey with that idea
and l prophesy that this is going to
be the most prolific dollar that ever
came into the colonel s possession for
expect that the other 999 will imme-
diately start in the same direction.
There will be no soliciting for this
fund, nor do l expect contributions
from members of the families of Com
pany l boys. but l do expect that every
patriotic man. woman and child in
! Brattlcboro will forward their contri
| buttons, no matter how small, to Col
Estev without any further request.
| This money viii be needed more il
/ the first 10 days the boys are there
| than at any other time. The suddeI
! change in climate, food and water vii
| be the cause of considerable temporary
illness and the dispensary of the regi
ment will be unable to handle al OF
the eases. Funds for the purchase OF
supplies and delicacies for q few days
will alleviate conditions greatly.
Very truly,
HORTON D. WALKER.

them 90 at once, but the two younger boys
wanted SO badly to follow in the footsteps
Of their older brother that neither father
nor mother found the heart to refuse their
permission.
George H, the oldest son, has been en-
ployed in Lowell, Mass, as a cook, but
when the call to arms came he hurried to
Brattleboro to obtain the consent of his
parents to his enlistment and was followed
immediately by his two brothers. Only
two were able to obtain uniforms here
and Harold had no uniform when the pic
turc was taken, although he had been
sworn into the service at that time.

CREW LACKED TRAINING
Roanoke Survivor Explains the Loss
of So Many Lives.

San Francisco, May 12.-No word
of the missing lifeboats of the steamer
Roanoke has reached here from Port
San Luis Along the coast for 80
miles watchers scanned the sea for
signs of the boats. Outside, the tanker
Lansing and the steamer Yosemite
cruiSed fruitlessly up and down the
coast At San Luis Obispo hospital
the three survivors, Joseph Elb,
Manuel Lopez and Gales Robino, are
gradually gaining in strength.
A report was circulated that the
steamer Edgar H. Vance had picked
up a lifeboat containing two men, one
dead and one living, but there is no
confirmation of the story. The de-
stroyers Hull and Truxton were dis
patched today from San Diego to
make a systematic search for the
missing men and boats
Manuel Lopez recovered sufficiently
today to talk.
The Roanokes crew was ineXper-
ienced,'' he said. "A well trained
crew could have launched all of the
IL lifeboats and saved everybody on
board. The listing of the vessel went
on for hours before the steamer
finally tipped over
