He had undertaken to look after $50

their mothers in punches of one hun

collecting things as they went. In
one room each youngster was given
complete outfit of warm clothes.
In another, some sort of toy, which
he was allowed to choose. In an
other, big bag of cakes and candies,
and, finally, they were herded into
the big dining room, where they were
filed with all sorts Of Xmas food.
There was a big tree in the hall, so
that the children, in their triumphal
progress, merely walked around the
tree. Stevens had painted all the
figures and the background of an ex-

behind it, to make the stars shine.

Mr. Kilroe estimated that the additions
might exceed 100000.
Among other things, Mr.. Kilroe said,
he had ascertained that the parent
body of the Fusion committee had
twenty subdivisions in Manhattan
alone. He said the time for filing all
expense reports in Albany expired No

cheerfully.
Mr.. Kilroe will go to Albany on Mon
day to make copies of all the reports
on file there. These will be checked up
with the copies furnished by Mr..

of the day book forms of the receipts
and disbursements will go on in the
District Attorneys Office for several
days before any definite action can be
taken on them.
