HELP ASIA MINOR!
Great Cry Goes Up to America to Give
Aid TO Worthy Suffering People.

Only n few days ago this cablegram
was received at the Near East relief
headquarters in New York, which eX-
plains for itself the conditions now eX-
listing in Asia Minor:
According to last message received
Jan. 7, internal situation in Armenia
disastrous. More than 100000 refugees
diving between Kars and Alexandropol.
Anarchy, lack of food and fuel, stop
page of all traffic and severe winter
adding to the disaster. We beg of you
to take steps Immediately for contin-
uation shipments provisions by Amer
lea to population threatened with fam
inc"
Near East relief desires the coopera-
ton of every American. The Armeni'
ans are suffering because of their re-
ligious convictions, their loyalty to
principle, their adherence to the cause
of the allies, for which we are under
obligations to them in sacrificing their
lives and thus saving American life by
shortening the war. Near East relief is
perhaps the most popular philanthropy
in America because of these facts, and
also that of all the relief areas in the
world. The Near East is the only place
where no government aid is available.
The Armenians are surrounded by
neighbors who would rejoice in their
determination. They are the remnant
of martyred Christian race, whose
fathers and relatives have died for the
Christian faith; but this remnant, and
especially the thousands OF orphans
whom we are now supporting, consti-
tute the hope of the future for the
Near East relief.
If we have a heart, we will gladly
sustain these people in their distress,
save them from starvation and provide
shelter and clothing, as well as food,
for the many thousands OF orphans,
who look to america for their very ex
istence.

A HALF MILLION GIFT TO THE
STATE OF VERMONT.

The proposal by the trustees Of the
pittsford tuberculosis sanatorium to
deed that institution, with all It's ap-
purtensnces, including endowment
fund, to the state of Vermont, in ac-
cordanee with provision made by
Senator Redfield Proctor in founding
the institution, grows in magnitude as
the muniRcence of the offer reveals it.
self. Briefly stated, the offer is TO
deed to the state Of Vermont in per
petuity a going concern, well equipped
with buildings and psraphernalia and
with a financial endowment, which.
while not large enough to cover the
maintenance of the institution, is new
ertheless very generous. The replace
ment value of the buildings and other
equipment is conservatively given as
ain excess of 100000" and taken in
conjunction with the endowment fund
Of 100000 provided by Senator Proc
tor at the outset and by additional
contributions from other members Of
the Proctor family, IL brings the total
valuation of the proposed gift in ex-
cess Of half million dollars.
Truly il is a splendid offer

by Senator Proctor. We learn that the
plant consists of an administration
building, two dormitories, smaller
frame building for patients, a resi-
dence for the medical directors, two
dwelling houses for the farm help, a
large barn and other buildings. More
over, the farm is fully stocked and
equipped. That constitutes we'll
, equipped hospital plant, indeed.
Next we find the institution is free
from debt, has a cash or securities sur
plus of approximately $4,000 and has
an endowment fund of 100000, as al
ready stated. The expenses of mainte-
nance of the institution, while far
greater now than at the time of the
founding of the institution thirteen
years ago, are in large part provided
for through the moderate payments
asked Of the patients and from the en-
dowment fund, the average deficit over
and above the income from the two
sources named being $4,00l,0l per year
This deficit has in years past been
made good by gift from Mrs. Emily
j. Proctor and since her death has been
met by income provided for in her
will. An addition recently made to
the endowment is expected to add
about three thousand dollars a year
to the income of the institution. Thus
il will be seen that the aggregate of
the income makes the Vermont sanato-
rum practically a, selfsustaining in
stitution. 1t is not only going con-
Germ but a going concern with fine
financial backing.
This institution with all its financial
backing it is proposed by the trus-
tees to turn over to the state of Yer
mont lock, stock and barrel, so to
speak. Can the state afford TO accept
it? Can the state afford not TO accept
itf The work of fighting tuberculosis
must continue; it must be redoubled
What better chance for putting forth
that effort than through the continued
work of the institution at Proctor,
supplemented by the county institu-
tions which are being established or
about TO be established? There is i'm
peratiye need for the institution at
Proctor and for the county institutions
If Vermont is to maintain the fight
against the white plague, so-called, and
to save hundreds of human beings an
nually and to preserve their economic
value. So The Times would make the
suggestion that the state should ac-
eept the offer by the trustees Of the
Vermont sanatorium and in accepting
extend the high appreciation Of the
people of the state.

Dr.. Rickholdt Upholds
W3e's Plea Of Hypnotism
Man Cast Spell ON Woman, Then Robbed Her,
Says Doctor; Penniless, He Worked His Way
Here to Defend Her Against Charges of Theft

Confirming his wife's story that a
man with hypnotic eyes" was respon-
sible, for her alleged obtaining of
Jewelry under false pretenses, DR..
Charles A. Ruickholdt arrived in New
York from Philadelphia yesterday and
called on Mrs. Ruickholdt in the wo-
mems prison in Jefferson Market court.
Dr. Ruickholdt explained that he had
not appeared earlier in his wife's be-
half for the reason that he was with
out funds and had been evicted from
his hotel in Washington for non-pay-
ment of his bill for lodging and was
compelled to go to work to earn enough
to take him to Philadelphia. where he
was again stranded, and where he
earned enough to insure his arrival
in New York.
The doctor told Magistrate Levine
that the man who has exercised such
a strange in uence over Mrs. Ruick-
holdt is nam Ballard. He said the
man had exeited that influence over
Mrs. Ruickholdt since they first met
last March, when Ballard presented
himself at the doctors home in New
Haven, representing himself as an
agent for some property in England
which the physicians wife had in
heriteG from relatives.
Dr. Euickhoidt asked Magistrate lie
yipe &c commit Mrs. Ruickholdt 70 &

streamed down his face as he told the
story to the magistrate and to re-

Peter has said that very often and
he has tried to live up to it. But there
are times when it is hard to live up
70 what one believes, and this New
Year Day was one of those times. You
see, Peter couldn't help thinking about
himself. In fact, he couldn't think Of
anything else. And he was hardly to
be banned for that. You see. Peter
was prisoner. Yes, sir, Peter Rabbit

thing he could do about it,
You remember how he had gone into
a certain old hollow log for nap
Now it happened that while he slept
the weather had changed and snow
Of that storm Prickly Porky the
Porcupine had climbed down from the
big hemlock tree where he had spent
day and night while the weather was
pleasant and lad crept into that hol-
low log for shelter, not knowing Peter
was in there. 1t would not have made
any difference if he had known, but it
would have made all tho difference in
the world to Peter had he known that
Prickly Porky was going TO use that
hollow log
But Peter hadn't known anything
about it until he vas awakened from

worst Of dreams. The big bramhles Of
that dream we're bad enough, but thcv
we're not 40 bad AZ those terrible little
spears which we're making him a pris

At first he made himself as small as
possible IN the end Of that log, hoping

leave. But Prick!y Porky had no in

Peter got courage enough to sny

Ken between $1,000 and $4,000 from
the couple, and has even taken Mrs.
Ruickholdts jewelry.
The doctor and his wife, according to
the ply icians st.ry, parted a little
over week ago in Washington, when
she received a telegram from Ballard
asking her TO meet him in New York
at the Hotel Astor DR.. Ruickholdt
says she told him it was with reference
% the estate. He says he gave his wife
all his money but 20 cents, on which he
lived for three da S. He claims to
have started TO walk to New York when
ne heard Of his wifc's arrest, but was
too weak TO do so. At one time he was
connected with the New York Skin and
Cancer Hospital and practised medi-
cine here, the doctor said.
Magistrate Levine said that if the
doctor could produce proof that his
wife acted without criminal intent the
court would do everything possible for
her, but in the mean time it would be
impossible to remove her to an insti-
tuition.
Mrs. Ruickholdt comes up for trial
January TO- and the doctor will stay
with relatives in Mount Vernon until
that time. Mrs. Euickh oldt il held in

Then Prickly Porky settled himself
comfortably and went TO sleep But
Peter didn't sleep. He couldn't. In the
first place he had had a long nap, so he
wasn't sleepy. In the second place he
had squeezed himself 50 far back in
the end Of that old log that he was
most uncomfortable and he didn't dare
