APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE
FOR A WASHINGTON MAN
Roy G. Matthews Stranded in Ashe-
vile, N. c., Sick and
Penniless.

An appeal to Washingtonians for
financial help for Roy G. Matthews,
formerly of this city, and now strand
ed. penniless and sick, in Asheville.
n. c., has been made by Rev. J. S. VIII
liams. chaplain of the Mission of the
Good Samaritan in that city.
Roy is friendless, and has no rela-
tives who can aid him. He has twice
been in an Asheville sanitarium. and
Chaplain Williams writes that he has
already paid out some $50 on his be-
half. but that neither he nor the mis-
sion is able to do more. Matthews
landed in Asheville June 81, and was on
the streets and in desperate condition
when Mr.. Williams befriended him. He
has since visited Washington and other
points. and states that his father has
not been heard from for more than
year. and that his mother is in an
asylum. He is tubercular and cannot
endure Washington's climate. he says.
as he has found out by a return here
and treatment at the municipal hos
pital
A generous Washington man has
twice loaned Matthews the money to
pay his fare to Asheville, writes Chap
lain Williams, with gratitude; points
out that the organized charities of
Washington cannot help a citizen in
another locality. and says that there
is no organization in Asheville that
can help a man in Matthews plight
Chaplain Williams writes that he is
Keeping the young man in shelter and
having him kindly treated; Yet his
landlady is a poor woman and needs
what is due her. Matthews, in addi-
ton. needs clothing and other COM
forts The plan is to place him per-
manently in some suitable institution
for the sick
The Star will be glad to receive con-
tributions to alleviate the condition of
this unfortunate. and will forward them
to Rev. Mr.. Matthews as they are re-
ceived.

Might Have Escaped Tax.

Had Mr.. Sothern seen fit to give his
services free in this presentation. with
proviso that the sum that he is now
receiving should not have passed through
his hands but be given directly 10 the
British Red Cross. he would have escaped
tax. but the tax would have been levied
as the revenues of the company produc-
ing the presentation, and the situation
would have been substantially the same
Had it been possible to deliver the pres
entauon under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Red Cross it is probable that the
tax liability would have been cancelled.
Under the auspices of the British-Red
Cross, the situation again becomes prob
lematic. The point OF view is advanced
that the American government would
merely be contributing the amount OF the
tax to the British cause. and that it is no
more justified in so doing than it would
be in contributing without direct war
rant of law to the Red Cross OF any of
the other belligerents.
While this analysis of the prospect is
informal, II seems fairly TO reflect the
probable liability Of Mr.. Sothern's receipts
in the light of precedent and the proc
esses of reasoning of the income tax offi-
Gals.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 1S.-The
San Francisco labor council has tele-
graphed to the American Federation of
Labor in session at Baltimore. asking
the federation not to consider at this
time the question of organizing Asiatics

The message. which was sent last
night in the form of resolution asked
that the organization of Asiatics be
delayed until white workers engaged
in trades which brought them in COM

ACTOR SOTHERN LIABLE
UNDER income TAXLAW
Fact That Performance Was Red
Cross Benefit Doesn't Alter
Situation.

An income tax will be levied against
the receipts Of E. H. Sothern from the
presentation last week of III I Were
King" even though he disposes of every
cent to the British Red Cross, as Is his
announced purpose. There can seem to
be no doubt of this. even though no off,
cial opinion can be had from the income
tax division of the internal revenue bu-
reau.
Precedent. however, establishes the
practice to which Mr.. Sothern's income
may reasonably be expected to submit.

and other wealthy men are constantly
giving away large sums in benefactions;

derived the money has been taxed re-

Appeals for Law to Insure Peace.

He appealed to the lawyers to recog-
nize the field that was open to the
bar of a great neutral nation in help
ing to define international raw and
right in such terms that by them the
peace of the world might be main
tanned, saying:
The nations have been brought so
closely together that there is a GER
tain community of national life
throughout the world. Many. voices
admonish US that all this is idealistic
and visionary, that the standards, con-
ceptions and purposes of our present
civilization forbid the realization OF
any such ideal; that there must be the
death of this era and the birth OF a
new before humanity shall attain to
so much self-mastery. All conjecture
own existence that modern civilization
will ultimately disintegrate and per-
ish IL 1t fails to achieve this idea.
ITO US, involved in the most terrible
struggle that humanity has ever
known-a struggle in which we have
taken part of our own free VIII and
because we realize the world-com-
polling consideration which its issues
involve-the events of the past two
years have brought both a lesson and
an inspiration.
MANY hundred thousand men VIII re-
turn after this war to their homes in
commonwealth They will have throng-
ed upon the stage of the worlds thea
ter of action and taken mighty part
in settling world issues and determln-
ing the future destiny of civilization
and humanity.

MEASLES At AMEs COLLEGE.
Dozen Students Victims Of children's
Disease. -..,

Ames, Jan. q. Similar to the
Christmas vacation grip siege. the
youthful disease measles has broken
out among and on several students,
and the short recess next week will
find several college people staying
close to home and mother in attempt
to shake off the effects Of sickness
before school again opens.
Ten cases Of measles and several OF
grip constitute most of the inmates OF
the college hospital this week. Harold
Lunbeck, who was operated on last
Sunday morning for appendicitis, is
improving rapidly considering the Sc
robustness Of his case. He was i'll but
a short time and the operation was re-
sorted to after consultation at the
hospital Sunday.
Not since the siege that brought
down some 900 students with the grip
has the hospital been free from
patients and now with the outbreak Of
measles keeps the medical force of the
college on the move large share OF
the day and night.

OVERCOME BY GAS FUMES
Ames Family Almost Killed by De-
fective Furnace.


fective Furnace.
Ames, Jan. 27.-Gas arising from the
furnace almost asphyxiated the Prof.
C. f. Bartholomew family, 6l1 North
western avenue, yesterday, for the sec
ond time within a week.
The first experience occurred shortly
after O'Clock last Saturday morning.
At that time Mrs. Bartholomew, the
three children and a nurse who has
been caring for Mrs. Bartholomew dur
ing a recent illness, were all rendered
unconscious. Prof. Bartholomew was
at home at the time and was able to
summon a physician and render first
aid before he was overcome by the gas.
Had he not been able to withstand the
fumes long enough to summon help, it
is doubtful if any of the family would
have survived.
Yesterday the gas fumes were noticed
again, and thru the experience of Sat
urday the members of the family were
warned in time to get out of the house
before any seious effects were felt. The
children, Margaret. Carroll and Charles
and the nurse were still quite i'll at
1880 yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Barthol-
omew was moved temporarily to a near
by home and is resting comfortably, con-
sidering her illness and experience Of
Saturday.
Prof. Bartholomew was unable to de-
termine this afternoon just how the gas
escaped from the furnace into the liv-
ing room.

Chicago. Jan. 27.-Improved shipping
and packing demand lifted the hos
market today despite weakness at the
outset
Eleven markets received lS9.500 hogs
Wednesday, or 20,5O0 more than las,
Wednesday, $4,000 more than a year
ago and Sc, 500 more than correspond
ing day two years ago. Total the first
half of this week $4,000. or $4,000
more than same period last week, H.
600 more than like time last year and
225,0Oo more than corresponding three
days two years ago. Total for 1915
to date $3.50, 900. or 100000 more than
same period 1915 and 1,149,o00 more
than corresponding time 1914.
Cattle.
Most Of the cattle offered were OF
poor quality.
Reports say that the fresh beet
trade is very poor in the east, as well
as most places of the country, on ac-
count of the unreasonable weather
The warm spell of late has cut the de-
mand and packers say their coolers are
well filled from the liberal receipts Of
the PAST week. Western markets have
been getting fair run Of stock, and IN
all the product has been of large VOL
ume.
The soft feed lots and high priced
feed is causing liberal shipping from
feed lots. which is the reason for the
large number of thin and habitat cat
tie offered Of late. Strictly prime goods
have been scarce and good outlet is
found for such offering. A load OF
1870 pound Kansas steers yesterday
sold at 9.25. while some other steers
were able to land at 9.o069.25. Cattle
Of quality enabling them to land at
900 and better have had good CALL but
for all others it has been a very poor
trade.
At the seven leading western mar
kets there were about $1,000 cattle re-
ceived Wednesday against 1880 a
week ago, 10000 a year ago and $1,000
two years ago. Thus far this week
these markets have had a supply of
about $4,000 head. or 1000 less than
same days last week. $4,000 more than
a year ago and 1900 more than same
period two years ago.
Sheep.
There was no special call for sheep
or lambs.
The movement from the west i.
said to be hindered TO an extent by a
car shortage, tho Colorado is reported
to be topping out stuff for shipment
about as fast as the stock is ready to
come and have been the chief source
OF supply for Missouri river points Of
late, as 1t must be for all leading mar
kets for the next three months.
