JEWISH RELIEF
CAMPAIGN WILL
START MONDAY
subscriptions Alreadys Re-
ceived Amount to
$4,000.

Final plans for the beginning of
the Jewish Relief campaign were
made Yesterday at a meeting of the
officials of the campaign. Individual
subscriptions have been made this
week, but as yet the organized drive
has not started.
To date. subscriptions have been
coming in at rate which justifies
the expectations Of the officials $4,-
5000 has been subscribed, and it is
believed that the qouta will be sub
scribed,!by Tuesday night.
Judge Sorrells, general director of
the drive, last night said, "the cam
paign for the relief of the starving
Jews is progressing about as planned.
The fine spirit shown by our people
in helping this drive along shows how
generous and splendid our people are.
None have refused and all are glad
of an opportunity to help. The Jews
have never asked for outside help
for their starving people before.
Larger donations are requested be-
cause it takes large donations to put
the quota over.
"The Jews have given unstintedly
to every call and heretofore have ask
ed for no outside help though their
own people in Europe were suffering
untold miseries but they themselves
through their own relief committees
cared for these terrible sufferers and
they have asked us to help only when
the suffering grew to such enormous
proportions that they could not alone
handle it. So we have gone into the
breach with them and intend to help
them put it over. Please give liber-
ally when the worker comes to you
next Tuesday
Plans for the Getting Monday night
include a number of addresses by
prominent speakers The entire list
of speakers has not yet been framed.
A musical program is also to be pre-
scented. Misses Victoria Harrel and
danes Core and Renfrow have the
musical program in charge.
Pastors are asked to announce from
! the pulpit today the meeting Monday

NEGRO WOMAN IS.
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
NEAR CITY LIMITS
Branch Normal Student De-
clares She Jumped from

Considerable mystery is attached to
the injury of negro woman said to
be Marie Holden who was found ~
ing unconscious in a gutter at Thirty

and bleeding profusely. She was
found about II o'clock by negro man

an employee of the Pine Bluff Nata-
forum company. A telephones call
was sent to police headquarters who
notified Holderness and company.
The ambulance was sent to the place
and returned with the woman 70 town,
and after Identification took her to
her home in Battlesville. ~
Thomas, the negro who found the
woman stated that he was on his
way home when he noticed an auto
mobile about two blocks away per-
forming rather suspiciously. 1t turned
twice, he stated, then backed up twice
after starting off, and when he was
about block away, stopped and
some men lifted what seemed to him
to be body up from the ground
and then laid it back. When he
arrived the car had gone, and the
woman was lying where she had been
/ left by the men in the car.
! 1t later developed that the woman
had been one of the party of joy

They were very scared he stated, one
of them saying "she's going to die.
No reason was given for the woman

NC-4 COMMANDER
TELLS OF FLIGHT

London, May 1.-THE commander
of the NC-4, describing the flight to
the correspondent of the Weekly Dis
patch, stationed at Horta said he flew
his machine at 10000 feet until he
sighted the island of Corvo. He then
descended to 200 feet owing to the
fog.
Half an hour before it's arrival, the
NC-4 was forced by the fog to alight
on the water in search of harbor.
When this was located, the flight was
resumed, and the airplane got along
side the cruiser Columbia and re-
ported that the NC-1 had alighted on
the water nearby, but expected to ar
rive at any moment.

Find Soft Coal Vein
Under Iowa Capital;
Start Mining at Once

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 2.-(Special
Telegram. )-Much excitement pre-
vailed about the state house today
when Engineer Crowelly, in charge
of work on the capitol extension
grounds, brought news to state Of
ficials that workmen excavating for
the heating plant tunnel had un-
covered a four and half foot vein
of coal on the extreme southeast
portion of the capitol extension
grounds.
After brief survey of the find,
Governor Harding reported that ap-
parently there was about an acre
and half of four and half foot
coal within Is feet or so of the sur
face.
Mine inspectors are inclined to
think it is a pocket or all out
cropping.
A steam shovel will begin digging
it at once and it will be used for
state institutions.
