AID BEING OFFERED
A SUFFERING COUPLE
Ny and Mrs. A. ii. Kerr contribute
Part of the Railroad
Fare.

In response to the call for aid
which was published in yesterday
issue of The World. asking Tor as
sistance in giving two invallds the
opportunity to spend their remaining
days in better surroundings, in a
climate where their almost certain
death at the hand of the great white
plague will be robbed of its torture
and pain, word came to the office OF
this newspaper yesterday that Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. Kerr. 32O South
Olympia, would contribute half the
cost of transporting the two to Col
orado in the event the remainder
might be raised.
The same pitful story of the sui
fering of this man and young woman,
stricken with tuberculosis, which
struck at the hearts of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kerr will no doubt touch the feelings
of some others of Tulsa's many phil
anthropists and noble people, and
the remaining necessary funds will
be contributed soon.
All contributions, or announce
ments of intention to contribute to

STRIKE WON'T HURT
TROOPS ON BORDER
General Funston Not Worried Over
Railway situation; Food
supply Good.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Aug. IL
General Funston is not worried over
the threatened railroad strike affect
ing the food supply for the army of
regulars and militiamen on the border
and in Mexico, II was learned today
that enough rations for every man
with Pershing's command and in fact
in the whole department commandeG
by General Funston for sixty days
and in some districts for ninety days
is on hand. This means full rations
and if n tieup Of all the railroads in
the country was to continue two
months it is said the army would not
have to stint in any particular on
the food. Should the emergency arise
after sixty days aud the trainmen re-
fuse to operate trains for military sup
plies it is believed enough men can
be found in the army to operate Few
special trains to transport food sup
plies strictly for the army.
Beef on the hoot could be mad IN
the border country and slaughtered
for use of the troops. The special
army trains could be operated for
vegetables. flour and other food. 1t
is estimated that the food supplies
now on hand. principally at San An
tonic, FL Paso, Brownsville and Co
lumbus represent an outlay or
S2,520000.

Manila Courts VIII Pass
on $4,000 Fine of
Chinese Prince.
FAILED TO DELIVER
English Authorities Confis-
Gated Cargo Consigned
to Germans.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
MANILA. July 1.-THE justice OF
the fine of $4,000 in the case of the
British steamer Chinese Prince inn
posed on her for failure to deliver to
the consignees in Manila some two
thousand packages of merchandise
shipped on her from San Francisco,
will be fought out on appeal in the
local courts. This cargo was taken
off the steamer and confiscated by
the British authorities at Penang, as
some of it was consigned to German
firms in Manila and was regarded as
suspicious because consigned to the
bank of the Philippines to order. The
fine of $4,000 was permitted under
which the steamer might be free to
sail pending final decision of the case
against her
After the seizure Of the steamer at
Penang the Chinese Prince. which left
San Francisco May 7, came on to
Manila and finished the discharge of
her cargo on July II. Check made
by customs officials shows that the
ships manifest shows some two thou
sand items which had not been dis
charged Under local customs laws
a ship may be fined a sum up to $3.50
for each package of manifested and
undelivered cargo. Collector of Gus
toms Stanley announced that the
maximum fine would be imposed and
seized the vessel pending a settlement
Of the case. The maximum fine would
amount to half a million dollars gold.
Made Determined Fight.
The next day lawyers for the steam
ship company made determined
fight to obtain a hearing on the case.
This was finally granted and at the
1 - 4 Eltu laY tsags-
titled to his protest to the British
naval authorities against the seizure
and presented a copy Of the document
together with the official receipt of
the British authorities to prove his
point that neither he nor the steam
ship company was responsible Tor
non delivery of the cargo. After con-
sidering the case day Collector
Stanley announced that he had fined
the vessel $3.50 for each missing
package. This meant a fine of ap-
proximately s25. 900. The law says
the fine may be imposed provided
negligence on the part Of the ship or
it's officers is shown. The agents rely
on this provision to obtain a remis-
sion.
The Chinese Prince was the first
vessel to reach Manila from which
cargo had been taken by the British
authorities.
The Spanish mail liner Fernando
Poo, which went down on a reef in
the Sulu sea early this month, lost
one thousand tons of local cargo con-
signed to Manila merchants by seizure
by the Pritish authorities at Singa-
pore. Her sinking before she reached
Philippine port prevented the in
sular custom authorities from taking
action.
