FOR FR|ENDLESS AND
DESTITUTE CHILDREN
Appeal Made by Management for
Increase in Subscriptions
and Contributors.

The Home for Friendless and resti-
tute Children is making an appeal Tor an
increase in the number OF contributors
and in the amount OF subscriptions, on
account of the Increased cost OF running
the institution, due 10 existing high prices,
and to the increased number oil calls on
the institution for help.
The Home for FTiendess and Desti-
tute Children was founded by Mrs. J.
TayIor Cause and few earnest women,
in March. 1864, in a period OF peculiar
difficulty; the nation being engaged IN ITS
struggle for life. The war had greatly IN
creased the necessity for such home as a
refuge for those deprived OF their natural
support. A large portion OF the hrst IN
mates were children Of soldiers.
The property at the southeast corner
of Adams and Ninth streets, including
buildings erected for the purpose OF a
boarding school few years before. was
purchased of its late owner, Rev. l.. NJ
Cam, for the sum of s21 900; MIR. Cam
donated 81 900: sl4, 900 was raised among
friends, and S6 600 remained on mortgage.
This debt was paid the following year.
Then except in the case of soldier
children, none were received grattntously
who were not legally committed to the
care of tho home. hut ON removing TO the
present home at Riverview, it was de
cided that in addition to caring for friend
less and destitute children, TO enlarge the
means Of usefulness by taxing, for a small
remuneration, those whose parents were
not willing entirely to rclinquish control
over their children, vet were unable 70
take proper care Of them. This is still the
plan used
Tho endowment fund was started 1866,
the first legacy receivcd@Icing $500 from
Mrs Margaret Purdy In 1883 it was
realized that extensive improvements
would have 70 be made 70 the buildings
at Ninth and Adams streets. After many
conferences, il was decided The WISER COURSE
would re to buy land and erect building
suited 10 needs. The present site At
Riverview. containing so acres. was
purchased from Henry G. Robinson at
the prize Of $3.50 pcr acre. Mr.. Robinson
generously made = donation Of $50 per
acre, reducing tho cost of lot 10 s2695.

CHICAGO FIRES.
BIazes Of Incendiary Origin
Sweep Section Of Six
Blocks and Make 5000
People Homeless.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-An incendiary
fire which the police declare was
started by negroes early today
swept through the district bounded
by West Forty-third, West Forty
sixth, South Lincoln street, and
South Hermitage avenue, destroy
ing 100 homes of Polish and Ii
thuanian employees of the stock
yards and causing a property loss
of more than 100000. Three per-
sons are missing and a score were
injured in the confagration.
Three thousand men, women and
children have been rendered home
less by the fire and the bad feeling
between the whites and negroes
greatly aggravated. State troops
were sent to the scene of the fire
to disperse the crowds and prevent
a renewal of race riots.
A number of witnesses have been
found by the police who say they
saw several automobiles of negroes
with burning torches in the district
shortly before the fire was dis
covered. The fire broke out in
three sections of the district at the
same time, according to the police.
Telephone wires in the district
were cut a few moments after the
blaze broke out. A number of shots
were fired at negroes in automo-
biles, who, it is said, were attempt
ing to escape after the fires were
started. One negro was said to
have been wounded but was carried
away by his companions.
Fire Chief O'Connor after hasty
investigation, declared that the fires
were undoubtedly of incendiary
origin and evidently started by
throwing gasoline on the outside of
the buildings and applying a lighted
torch or matches.
Fire Attorney Harry Donnelly
| gave the police the names of II per-
sons who declare they saw negroes
in the district bearing burning torch
es and cutting telephone wires.
The situation in other sections of
the danger zone of the South Side
was reported satisfactory to the au-
thorities, although there were a
number of minor disturbances.

STRIKE OF RAILROAD
CAPITAL IS SUGGESTED
BY S. D. WAKEFIELD

Washington, Aug. 31.-Railroad
capital as well as labor may "strike"
unless congress grants it's demands
in planning for the future Of the
roads, S. Davies Warfeld suggested
today in a statement supplementary
to recent testimony before the house
interstate commerce committee.
Mr.. Warifield is author Of the rail.
road plan sponsored by the national
association of owners of railroad Sc
curities.
Representing large numbers OF
banks, trust companies, insurance
companies and individual investors
that own railroad securities, Mr..
Warfeld said that unless congress
makes the railroad investments suf-
ficiently attractive, capital will de-
sert the railroad for more profitable
fields and leave the roads without
the credit necessary to their opera
ton and development.
Mr.. Warfeld's statements were in
advocacy of his plan to guarantee
lines six per cent dividends. This,
he said, will mean reasonable returns
for the lines without watered stock,
and small dividends for the over
capitalized lines. All returns above
six per cent are to be divided among
the public in the form of lower rates,
labor and capital equally.
"The situation will be utterly
hopeless if the railroads are return
ed to their owners without construc-
tive legislation" Mr.. Warfield said.
1--WE have asked that pending the
putting into effect of this plan the
standard return now being paid to
the railroads be continued. 1t would
he most disastrous if time is not
given within which to bring about
the proper adjustments.
Director General Hines was quot
ed by Mr.. Warfeld as unequivocably
indorsing the position taken by Sc
curity holders that any legislation
enacted must provide a fixed return
of not less than six per cent.
The senate interstate commerce
committee subcommittee has COM
pleted drafting of railroad bill
which will be introduced Tuesday
and referred to the full committee.

CONDITION COTTON
AUG. IS, 5s.2 PER CENT.

Columbia, Aug. 28.-The Ameri-
can Cotton Association issued the
following report tonight, placing the
condition of the cotton crop on Aug
ust rs at 58.2 per cent. The govern
ment crop report, giving condition
on August 25, will be issued Septem-
ber 2. There was a difference of on
ly per cent in the last American
Cotton Association report and the
government report:
"The condition of the growing
crop up to August 25 for the belt is
5s.2. The crop is from two to four
weeks late. It has a diseased root
system; sappy and unable to stand
reverses; extremely poorly fruited
shedding and showing rapid deterior-
alton and premature opening.
"Insect damage has been record
breaking. Boil weevil damage is the
largest eve known. In addition to
this boil worm, army worm and red
spiders have done serious damage.
There is serious damage also from
boil rot.
Labor is extremely short and un-
satisfactory. The gathering of even
the record-breaking small crop, which
is now a certainty, will be a most
serious problem. Under favorable
weather conditions delay in gather
ing will be serious and will result in
cotton standing in the fields unpick-
ed, causing crop grade to be low.
With adverse weather conditions loss
es on account of extreme labor con-
ditions will be enormous, resulting in
the largest percentage Of off grade of
any crop ever gathered.
acreage abandonment will be 9
Ia per cent. This is the largest a.
mount ever recorded. The farmers
are forced, on account of the great
scarcity of labor and the record
breaking seasons, to abandon this
amount Of acreage. This will show
the largest reduction in the yield
probably ever recorded. No deduc-
ton has been made in our condition
report for abandonment, nor will the
Department of Agriculture show any
deduction for acreage abandonment
until the end of the season."
