MISSION APPEALS
FOR $4,000 HELP
swamped With Requests for Aid
During Past Week of
Extreme Cold.

Swamped with requests for aid dur
ing the past week of extreme cold, the
Central Union Mission, welfare agency
OF the Protestant churches OF the city,
has issued an appeal for contributions
to help make up a $4,000 deficit in its
budget.
One reason for the deficit, Mr.. Ben
nett explained is undoubtedly due to
the belief Of many persons that the
Central Union Mission is member of
the Community Chest 1t derives no
support from the Chest.
Since last September the demands for
relief, increased by the unemployment
situation, have taxed the resources of
the mission as never before. The staff
has lodged an average of 181 men a
night and fed an average of 469 a day
Its all in the days work" said Mr.
Bennett, but unless financial relief is
obtained, the Easter activities of the
mission probably will have to be cur
tailed and the year will end with big
deficit"
Six truck loads of old clothing were
Hsrnished by WashingtonianS after the
4. wv storm of last Sunday in answer to
Mr.. Benefits appeal on behalf of hun
dreds of shivering men who sought re-
lief These supplies are already used up
and with continued cold weather, mems
clothing is still one Of the greatest
needs at the mission.

and it Is on this valuation that the tax
claims are computed. The taxpayers
contend that the reorganization was
not a taxable transaction; that the
stock they received. in fact had verv
little real value, and that it was not
taxable income because they had agreed
not to put 1t on the market in the wear
1919.
The case was heard by three mem
bers Of the board, Arundel, Van Eos
sam and Leech. Only issues of law are
to be considered by the board at this

favor of the Government, the question
as to the value of the stock will be tried
later.

The demand of the Government Tor
tax deficiencies aggregating s43,873,-

consolidation in that year OF various

At CHICAGO

CHICAGO, June % GN.S).-
Though the convention officially
opened yesterday with Senator
Alben w. Barkley's keynote speech
and the election of committees,
the real fireworks begin today
as far as those who have travelled
to Chicago for a ringside seat at
the great Democratic battle OF
the century are concerned.
The atmosphere is rife with
impending strife, as Bugs Baer
puts it.
Visits Training Quarters
In the company of a few
friends I made the rounds Of
the training quarters. We were
informed by members OF various
retinues that the candidates were
out on the road putting in the
final touches for the contest.
Alfalfa" Bill Murray Senator
James Reed of. Missouri, former
Governor Byrd of Virginia and
Governor Ritchie of Maryland
were those who were reported to
be conscientiously tapering off
for the fight. We were advised
at the Roosevelt headquarters
that the leading contender was
confining his pre-battle moments
to shadow" boxing at the Albany
mansion.
The old warrior, AL Smith, was
found where one would expect
him. He was right at his train
ing quarters, ready to take on all
comers. AIS face is not smiling
these days. His expression is one
of grimness and determination.
He says It am the one that will
stop Roosevelt"
Not Running the Show
I wondered if he regretted the
day he insisted that Franklin D.
Roosevelt take the nomination for
governor and run with him in
1928. Or. if he rueS the day
he appointed Jim Farley a mem
ber of the New York State box
ing commission and thereby
brought him into prominence.
It is evident that AL Smith is
not running this show as he has
the past Two or three Democratic
conventions. AS he stood erect,
and squarely, one felt that the
old fighting spirit is still alive
and that if AL Smith goes down,
he will go down fighting. I am
sure he knows no other way.
