MOVEMENT BEGUN
FOR RAISING FUND
Initial Step Toward Financial
Aid to Families of Ma
tionaI Guardsmen.
PROGRAM is MAPPED OUT
BY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Appeal Made for Liberal Contribu-
tions-Rotary Club to Continue
Collection of Data.

Initial steps toward financial relief
for the families of National Guardsmen
of the District who need aid were taken
by a central committee, composed OF
representatives from a number of local
trade, civic, patriotic and literary
bodies, at a meeting in the Grldlron
clubroom at the New Willard Hotel yes
terday afternoon. John Dolph, tenn
porary chairman of the committee, was
authorized to receive funds, and all
interested in relief work are urged to
contribute as much as they can, send
ing money to Mr.. Dolph's office, Room
s41 Munsey building. In the time elaps-
ing before the next meeting, Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, which also Will
be held at the New Willard Hotel,
Harry c. c. Stiles of the Commercial
Club and Mrs Allyn K. Capron of the
National Lineal Society of Spanish War
Veterans, will aid in direct relief work
for the guardsmen by supplying re-
cruiting stations with ice water, soap
and towels for the men on duty there.
Work of Rotary Club.
The Rotary Club win continue the
work of collecting data from the
guardsmen at Camp Ordway. and the
Women's Relief Corps Of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia will
take care of cases that have come up
before it. Other societies also will con-
tinue their efforts pending the definite
organization of the central reHef com
mittee.
AT the meeting yesterday afternoon John
Dolph was elected temporary chairman of
the central committee to be formed and
Walter s. Ufford was elected temporary
secretary Mr.. Dolph put the proposition
of a definite organization up to the dele
gates and after d number OF them had
pledged the support Of the bodies they
represented the proposition was unani-
mOusiy carried. Isaac Cans, one of the
committee representing the Chamber OF
Commerce, read resolutions passed by the
chamber at a meeting earlier IN the day
to the effect the collection of individual
contributions from the members of that
body was authorized.
The question as 70 what classes OF or
ganizations should be allowed to cooper
ate with the Rotary Club in the relief
work came up upon the reading Of a let
ter from "A society for the relief of col
ored guardsnen, which contained an ap-
plication for permission to help. After a
short discussion. in which Mrs Archibald
f. Hassan, Mrs. John NJ Speel. Maj. Le-
roy w Heron and Col. John G- CaperS
spoke, to the effect that it would practi-
cally be impossible to refuse any
ganiZation. regardless of race or creed,
mittee decided that any organization
really interested and which would do its
share would be allowed to come in. There
was very little opposition to this

Case Similar to Enlisted Men.

1t has been pointed out that 1t Is just
as difficult for the families of non
CONS" to get along on s21 month as
it is for families of enlisted men to get
along on SIS, since as a rule the fam
lilies of the mon CONS have been ac-
customed to great deal more and will
feel the sacrifices and curtailment even
more keenly.
1t is planned that this organization
will do all that is possible for the Off
GERS themselves to make their life in
the field as comfortable as devoted
wives at home can make them. 1t is
also planned to do systematically and
in a practical way whatever kindly
service can be performed among them
selves toward each other since they will
be tied together by the common bond Of
devotion to husbands who are COM
rades in service under trying circum
stances.

LINE ON PREPAREDNESS
GIVEN BY MOBILIZATION
Temporary Lack of Shoes Available
for Militiamen Explained by
Army Officers.

Army officers on duty at the war
Department believe some good Illus
trations of what real preparedness
means have been obtained as result
of the mobilization of the National
Guard and the Quitting and equipment
of the troops in such a short space OF
time. Incidentally, an explanation Oh
the dispatches from all over the coun-
try to the effect that various state
commands were ready to move except
that they lacked serviceable shoes came
to light today in the militia division
and the quartermaster generals de-
partment. in connection with state
ments that the shoes for the National
Guard, frequently reported lacking,
have now, so far as is known, reacheo
practically all the state troops
Some years ago it was the custom
of the War Department to furnlsh
shoes to the militia, as well as UNI
forms and other equipment; but mllltia-
men in many cases walked OH Win

MEXICAN LINE RIDER
KILLED BY AMERICANS

Ell PASO. Tex. June 30.-A Mexican
line rider of the Carranza customs
service was killed last night by a squad
of American soldiers, who fired across
the Rio Grande into Mexican territory
near Ysleta. twelve miles east of FL
Paso, according to a report received by
Gen. Gonzales in Juarez today

to five years Imprisonment for issuing
a certificate of deposit with intent to

fraud was contemplated and that the
loss had been made good. They were
granted respites a few days ago and

Stored Shoes in Depots.

The result was that the federal gov
ernment stopped the issuance of shoes
to militiamen, and. instead, adopted
system of accommodating shoes at quar-
termaster depots throughout the coun-
try, ready to issue upon call for the
militia Enough shoes to equip twelve
militia divisions at war strength were
thus stored at the various quarter
master depots throughout the country.
When President Wilson called out the
National Guard ten days or so ago orders
went forth automatically to all the quar-
termaster depots to ship the necessary
shoes as well as other supplies to mobili-
zation points. In many cases the rail-
roads however, were not as well pre-
pared with empty freight cars as was the
War Department and in some cases there
were complaints that National Guard
mobilization camps were not obtaining
the necessary supplies of footwear. The
railroads, however. have bent their ener-
gies to mobiliZing their freight cars at
needed points, and it is now believed at
the War Department that the shoe ques-
ton is not hampering the movement of
any state troops who are otherwise ready
to go where ordered.

Relief Movement Explained.

D. ]. Callahan, president of the Ro-
tary Club, laid before the meeting the
history of the present relief movement,
stating that his organization took the
initial steps for other bodies to follow.
He said that in view of the fact that
the Rotary Club has an almost perfect
organization and is able to do the work,
it is willing to take over the entire
task He added, however, that the club
also is willing to become unit in a
central body If that body will be able
to work harmoniously and efficiently.
Mrs. Allyn *. Capron of the National
LineaI Society of Spanish War Veterans
stated that her organization is willing
to Join in the work of aiding guards
men, but that it would not discontinue
the broader scope of its work, which
aims for national military relief for all
classes of fighters and their families.
The question as to whether the organi-
cation should confine itself simply to
guard relief or whether it should aid in
general relief work then came up.

Referred to Organization Committee

morning at IL o'clock in Mr.. Dolph's
office, room 841 Munsey building, to
decide this and other questions at
tendant upon organization.
That the organization should do re-
lief work for all families in the District
of Columbia that suffer because |of the
calling out of their supporters for mill
tary service was recommended by the
organization committee. The title of
the general body which will be sug-
gested for adoption at the meeting next
Monday was Citizens Welfare Asso-
citation for the National Guard and
Volunteers of the District Of Column

The initial membership of the asso-

Mining Employees to Get Bonus.

M Ices have been sent to the State
Industrial Commission from several
mining and smelter companies of the
state announcing that bonuses will be
paid to the employees of the com.
panies as long as the present prices
for zinc, lead and silver continue. The
Leadville smelters and the Mary Muir.
ply Gold Mine Company are two of
the concerns which have raised the
pay of their men in this way. The
men working for $3.50 per day and
under will receive 25-cent increases,
while those working for more than
that amount will get 50-cent raises.
If the st. Louis price of spelter falls
below 10 cents or silver below 70
cents, the bonuses will be cut in half.
Only the regular employees will profit
by the bonus.

rwo-Year Inheritance Tax 100000.

An unusual number of deaths of
wealthy residents of Denver and Colo
RADIO in the last few years has rolled
up the receipts of the State Inherit
ance Tax Department to a figure
never before reached since the in
her.tance tax went into effect in 1902
Figures compiled on June l by Les
lie b. Hubbard, state inheritance tax
appraiser, show that besides the
S60S,192.S4 already collected during
this biennial period in taxes on es
tates, additional revenue of 100000
is in sight, so that the total for the
period will run more than 100000.
When the Legislature met last year
it was estimated that the income
from the Inheritance Tax Department
would be 100000. Instead, it will
amount to 100000. Since 1913 Huh
bard has collected s57S,39747 more
than the estimated revenue from his
department.

Brewers Ask to Make Beer.

The brewery interests of Denver
have started an initiated petition for
an amendment to the state prohibit
ton law which will permit the brew
cries of the state to manufacture
beer for sale direct to consumers i'll
case lots. The argument is offered by
the circulators of the petition that in
this way the money. now being sent
by residents of Colorado to outside
points for beer, will be kept in the
state, giving employment to many
men. No attempt is made by the pc
TONERS to legalize the sale of beer in
retail quantities.
