vidually and that he would follow this
with additional subscriptions to pay
for furnishing some of the rooms in
the building all of those present broke
into applause.
The announcement of the Sinclair
| subscription was made by w. l.. Con-
nelly, an official of the Sinclair Oil 4
Gas Co., who went 10 Kansas City to
intercept Mr.. Sinclair, who Is on his
way to his New York residence after
a short stay on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Connolly, in n few ell-timed
remarks also spoke of the universal
interest which is being taken by all
classes Of citizens in the building OF
the hospital and how very sure he
was that the fund would be raised
IL would have ben raised long before
this, said Mr.. oCnnelly, had it not been
for the fact that everybody was wait
Ing on his neighbor to put up the
money.
Travis Worker.
Following Mr.. Connolly there was a
short talk by NJ. NJ. Travis, who was
one of the first big contributors to the
fund and who has been giving his
time and the time of his employees to
help the hospital organization raise
the money. To Mr.. Travis, his partner,
Mr.. Aaronson, and their associates
and friends is due some of the largest
subscriptions which have been re-
cetved and they have assured the or
ganiZation that they are not yet thru
with the good work.
The corrected total of subscriptions
to date is $l5l, ,S0S.75. This includes
only such monies as have been paid

There have been some subscriptions
reported as having been sent to in
dividuals but these are not credited.
