1000 Hungry, Young and Old,
Wait i'm Rain for Free Feast
What Guests of One-Cent Coffee Stands Society Can
not Eat They Put in Their Pockets for the Morrow:
Turkey Brings No Expression of Joy or Thanks

Two thousand men and women ate
yesterday in the cellar of 81 West
Eighth Street, where the st. Andrews
One-Cent Coffee Stands Society was
having it's thirty fifth annual dinner
for the poor. They ate in shifts from
ii o'clock in the morning Until 7 o'clock
at night. While one shift was in the
cellar the rest stood in the street in
the rain and shivered
These people were hungry. What
they could not eat they put in their
pockets. The day was Thanksgiving
and food was being given away. To-
morrow it would be different. For the
most part they thanked no one.
Where these men and women came
from is hard to say Some were old.
More of them were young. Few of them
had overcoats or cioaks. All of them
were wet and cold and dirty. For the
sake OF the little shelter that was
there they stood close to the row of
fantastic tea shops which mark the
north side of Eighth Street, stamping
their feet and hunching their shoulders
When the line went slowly forward

Actors Brave Rain
To Cheer Welfare
Island T PrisOners
Keith Vaudevillians Give
25th Annual Thanksgiv-
ing Show to Help Unfor-
tllnates Forget Festival

1t is Welfare Island now-though
you may still gulp on the name. Still,
hunched under whiplash of rain in
the dawning of gray Thanksgiving
Day. the old pile had relapse, and
was Blackwell's Island again-grim,
dismal and savage-even though made
ready for a day of festivity.
From time immemorial this Black
we'll morning musical at the fashion
able hour Of 10 has been the function
at the penitentiary on Thanksgiving
day-winding up with the big dinner
and an afternoon off for the men. For
twenty-five years the Keith people
have recruited willing, kind-heartcd
service from vaudevillians; for twenty
four years Harry Cooper has never
missed presiding at the show. AS
usual, the printed program gives the
names of vaudeville celebrities who
promised and, as usual, humber and
more serviceable performers have
rushed in to keep the pledge of
rainy, dismal 10 o'clock appointm ent at
the penitentiary.
Eleven hundred men were packed in
the auditorium and overflowed from
the seats on to the aisles and the
window lodges. The city has come into
heritage of khaki after the war,
costume which gives the prisoners
the look of service men.
The humor was over nobody's head
Ancient and dearly loved jokes were
rapturously received. T4ere were
plenty of dancing and music, synco-
pated, little music of the other sort
and studied absence Of reference
to home or mother or things to be
thankful for.
The prisoners cheered Anatol Fried
lander and his troupe of girls,
Margaret Young, Charles Olcott and
Mary Ann Burns, and Frieda and Harry
Tighe, and finally Warden McCann who
provided the dinner.
The mission of the troupe was to
make the men forget it was Thanks
giving Day and they did it. In the
afternoon they went up the Island to
present their program before the
women inmates at the Workhouse.

they moved along as IL their joints
ached.
The dining room in the cellar used
to be a barroom some twenty years
ago. 1t is long and narrow and bright
lv lighted. The ceiling is low. A long
WOODEN table extends the entire length
of the room. Twenty-Five chairs were
placed close together on each side of
the table. When the diners took their
places the room was crowded from
wall to wall
Here the men and women ate When
the women were at the table they be-
came acquainted with ono another and
talked. When there were no women
at the table conversation languished.
The men were there for one thing, and
only one thing. The low, long. narrow
room became then more quiet than the
street.
There was no clatter of dishes or
cutlery, and no movement Of servants;
for the meal was haaped on one plate
turkey. cranberry sauce, vegetables
and pie. There WAS no expression of
pleasure, joy or thanks. The men ate
az if they were doing some strange and
terrible thing. Then they got up and
went out into the rain again.
J. NJ. Lamadrid, manager gave 200
baskets of food away before the place
was opened to the poor.

the strikers began to return to work
week or more ago in spite of the res
perate efforts of their so-called leaders
to induce them to continue the hopeless
struggle. Notwithstanding intimida-
tion of the strongest kind, strikers
throughout the last week returned to

every day. The explanation of yes

fact that owing to the palpable break
down of the strike, the committee were
faced with the possibility of finding
themselves left alone in the cold

Ill, 600 Rhine Soldiers Eat
l3, ZOO Lbs. of Turkey

CoBLENZ, Nov. "a (By The Asso-

can soldiers stationed on the Rhine
tucked away $4,000 pounds of turkey
as the piece de resistance of their
Thanksgiving dinner. There were the
usual trimmings" of cranberries
raisin and pumpkin pie and piping hot
plum pudding. Many units with mess

pig, goose and chicken, and even
pheasants and venison, which are par
ticularly plentiful and cheap this year.
While the plum pudding and pump
kins for the pies were sent from the
United States, the turkeys were bought
from German farmers, and cost only Ii
cents pound, as compared with 80
cents paid last year for turkeys
shipped from America. The families

Treasure Hunters Have
Open Season Near Tahiti
Papeete Capitalists Seek Buried
Wealth in Pinaki, but Sum
burn Is All Workers Get
PAPEETE. Tahiti. Oct, II E

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Oct. II (By Mail).
The year 1921 has been the open
season for treasure hunting in the
that the vast treasure (alleged to have
been buried some sixty years ago) on
the Island of Pinaki had at last been
located has induced a new company of
adventurous Papeete capitalists to
equip a fresh expedition only to re-
turn with nothing more than a goodly
coat of sunburn ana oacxacning from
the strenuous exercise of digging for
weeks in the blisIering coral sand.
Then, early in the year, came the
yacht Genesee from New York in
search of great treasure of gold, said
TO have been left on the island of
Tupai-Manu, in the Western Societies,
by the German Pacific squadron when
they were flying from the pursuing
British and Japanese fleets in 1914.
Much real estate on Tupai-Manu flew
into the armament on that occasion
under the action Of good charges of
dynamite, but the Genesee sailed away,
leaving the treasure to be discovered
by future explorer.
And now there is the story of q new
treasure. The tale is, that about fifty
years ago. a Chilian warship deposited
on the island of Moorea {the island
close by Tahiti) a treasure of gold
belonging to the Chilian government
of that time-as a measure to keep it
from falling into the hands of strong
revolutionary party. The revolution
must have been successfnl; for none
returned to take away the gold, the
story runs.
Years afterward, however, che Prot
estant missionary at Moorea received
u letter from priest in Chile enclos-
ing an outline drawing easily rccog-
nized as tn outline OF the mountain
peaks about Opunohv Bay in Moorea,
asking for information OF the location
of the island SO represented, and stat
ing that he had knowledge of a treas
ure buried there. The missionary llav.
ing visions OF ungodly adventurers
corrupting his flock decided to tenr up
the letter and drawing without dis
patching the answer.
Nothing more was heard Of the af-
fair until a month ago, when stran-
ger arrived on the island bearing
charts and drawings which, he claimed,
would lead him to the treasure.
Reports from Moorea state that, at
the place indicated on his chart, on
digging down he came upon concrete
slab, and great was the excitement
until the slab was broken through and
cavity, about three feet in depth,
was disclosed. containing absolutely
nothing. The seeker is. however, hope
full, and is hard at work digging and
sounding in the valleys about the bay.

At the point where Broome Street

Within it's walls there were strange

narrow room where many a half

large table had been set, loaded with
appetizing food especially cooked by
"Ma" Stern.
All the human hotsam and jetsam
which wandered aimlessly by yesterday
was brought in and placed at the table.
AS they ate their fill drum and fife
band played music of kind.
It is a remarkable institution, this
drum and fife band. Every one of its
players has been dragged from the
muddy, swirling waters of the East
River by Captain Johnny Stern, and
every year they gather at the shack on
Thanksgiving Day to play at Captain
Johnny's anniversary.
Equally remarkable is the founder of
the life station. Outside of the wood

the life saving station he is truck

through its magic portals he become s
