GRAVE CRISIS
FACED IN CITY.
CHARITY WORK
Community Fund Treasury
Depleted by Calls Far
Beyond Other Years.
CASH MUST BE RAISED
Merchants and Industrial
Leaders Will Be Asked
for Help.

Community Fund appropriation
for relief of impoverished families
will be exhausted unless additional
funds are raised within week,
William H. Insley, Community Fund
president, disclosed today.
Efforts are being made to raise
money among merchants and in
dustria1 leaders and to obtain a
sum from Marion county funds to
carry on relief work, InSley in
dicated.
Revelation of the startling lack
of money for continued relief OF
the poor in the city was made
Thursday by Community Fund
directors at a meeting of Mayor
Reginald H. Sullivan's commission
on sterilization of employment and
representatives of employers and
welfare agency groups.
Most of Money Expended
OF 100000 appropriated for fam
lily relief in 1890, 100000 already
has been expended. At least $4,000
more will be required to carry on
relief work through the remaining
six months of the fiscal year, &C
cording to Insley.
County Commissioner John Shear
err promised to assist in devising a
plan whereby a portion of the mon
ey may come from the county funds.
Andrew j. Allen, secretary of the
Associated Employers Association,
said he would present the funds
needs to that organization in an
effort to obtain help. Herman P.
Lieber, president of the Merchants
Association of indianapolis and
Community Fund director, said he
would appeal to the merchants for
aid.
Their reports are expected by fund
officials within a few days.
No Public Drive Planned
No public drive for funds will be
made, and the fund will not bor-
low money unless forced to take that
step, Insley said. An appeal will be
made to all organized groups in the
city to assist in what is said to be
the worst charity emergency ever
faced here.
There are 1,142 families now on
relief rolls compared with 600 a
year ago, reports Thursday showed.
The cause was traced to national
business dep1 ession and tremendous
unemployment.
II have been here forty-flve years,
and unemployment this winter was
the worst I ever have SEEN" the
Rt. Rev. Francis H. Gavisk, chan
cellor of the Indianapolis diocese
of the Roman Catholic church, told
the group.
Reporting on present unemploy-
ment conditions in the city, G. w.
williams, Marmon Motor Car Com
pany president, and DR.. R. Clyde
White, who has studied the stu
alton, declared that at the end OF
March unemployment in local fac
tories employing 100 or more men
was less than one-haf Of / per
cent below that of a year ago.
Considerable improvement has
been made since Feb. /, the reports
indicated.

movement in the bond market today
was of q familiar pattern. In a turn
over that was normal for recent week
end sessions bonds fluctuated uncer-
tainly to confuse the trend.
Fluctuations in the railroad section
were narrower but the sharp recessionS
yesterday attracted little buying and
active issues were irregularly lower.
Atchison As, Chesapeake & Ohio Ans,
Erie 5s of 1867, Pennsylvania general
4lhS, and Union Pacific first IS were
among the prominent issues that lost
large fractions. AtchiSon 412s, a con-
vertible issue, sagged points on the
movement to ia. new years low, and
Baltimore & Ohio Alps also were at
new 1890 minimum.
The tone of utilities was somewhat
improved. American Telephone IS OF
1860, Western Union 5s of 1860 and
North American Edison 5s maintained
an upward trend. Duquesne Light Ans
and International Hydro Electric IS
were soft. Industrials were dull and
high-grade issues in the group varied
only fractionally.
Dealings in United States Govern
ments were small and were principally
confined to Liberty issues, which sold
around their previous close. Foreign
obligations moved quietly and were
steady to firm.

Of gradual business improvement, with
spotty and irregular recovery In the

gains in the Fall, according to the an
nual forecast report issued by the United
Business Service of Boston.
Profits in 1881 should be 10 per cent

Inventory losses will not be so serious
among industrial companies, and pub
lie utilities are likely to show better
than average results.
Bond prices may be expected to rise
