Refuge Sponsored
By Volunteers
Of America
BY MARY PADGETT

Many of the leading club
women of the city gathered last
night at a meeting in the Girls
Club and Hospice of the Volun-
teers of America, 1900 block Of
Sixteenth st. N. W., to lend
their support to a general cam
paign committee, which was
formally launched last night
and today started its drive to
raise $4,000.
The money will be used to
equip the hospice with furnish
ings and remodeling and to pro-
vide an operating fund. The
hospice, although not yet off
cially opened, has since March
taken care of more than so
girls of the "white-collar" class
who were out of work and in
desperate circumstances. The
women are housed free of charge
until they are able to take care
Of themselves.
MRS. GRANT LEADS
Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, execu-
tive director of the tuberculosis
Association of the District Of
Columbia, is the chairman Of
the campaign committee. In
talking before last nights meet
ing Mrs. Grant pointed out that
the work of the hospice was "a
very essential piece of work"
She declared that she found
very ready cooperation on the
part of the Volunteers of Amer
lea for the work of the Tubercu-
losis Association.
Mrs. Grant said that an
establishment such as this is
particularly necessary in the Dis
trict because of the large num-
ber of girls who come here to
seek employment in the Govern
ment. Many of these, she con-
tinued, find that it is not as easy
to obtain such positions as they
had thought and many others
find their appointments only of
Q temporary nature.

missioner of Naturalization, Of

who recently died.

VERDICT FAVORS
 LILLIAN RELYEA
Supreme Court Substan= tiates Ruling of Superior
 Court Magistrate

Associate Justice Allyn L. Brown of the supreme court of errors today upheld the decision which was rem dered by Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell here recently in favor of Lillian Relyea against the Pacific Fire Insurance company.
 The litigation involved the destruc- tion of an Auburn Speedster by fire, and the question of whether Mrs. Relyea should recover insur- arlce for used car or new car. The court ruled that the car was new and collection should be made on that basis. The supreme court ruling substantiated that ruling.
 The car was bought Sept. g, 1885 at cost of $2500. The car burned January 30, 1886 at loss of $1825 to the plaintiffs. The defense denied that the plaintiffs should collect the full amount, on the ground that it was not a new car. An offer of $500 was made in settlement, but was de- clined. The court ordered the full amount paid, with interest added.
 Attorney Richardson Bronson represented the plaintiff with Att. David Raymond defending.

Budget Consideration Before Finance Board
Estimates of Various Municipal Depts. Under Axe'' Tonight Important Decisions Face Commissioners

Waterbufy's budget for 1899 will be the concern of the board of finance when it meets asa commit tee of the whole tonight at 7:3O o'clock.
 Present will be members of the firm of Griffenhagen & Associates who have had the various estimates of all departments under scrutiny and study during the last weeks.
 Recommendations have been made by the financial officials regarding several city departments, recom- mendations which have caused some concern about the city over pos- sibility of carving personnel, closing some public buildings.
 But it is not expected that the departments presently in the con- troversial category will be subject of consideration tonight. Rather, the budgets of some of the smaller de- partments are more likely the theme in this first of many budget meet ings which will be held through the rest of this month, the first of next.
 The health department budget may be passed upon tonight, it was reported, as well as two or three other city departments estimates. Some of the estimates have been ap- proved in large particular by the financial officials, it is said.
 The meeting tonight is an ad- journed meeting and for the sole purpose of budget consideration. Mayor Frank Hayes delayed calling of the session subject to the avail ability of Commissioner John H. Goss, who with Major W. Judge and Charles B. Jackson comprises mem bership of the economy committee of the board.

CHEvRONS! Gold Awards to Be Presented s afe Auto Drivers
 in 1889.

Safe drivers in Waterbury dur ing 1889, along with nearly a mil- lion other motorists throughout the country will carry gold chew rons in their wallets because they have survived the hazards of a year of driving without once being involved in an accident.
 The gold chevrons are part of the safe driving reward plan of 31 capital stock insurance compa- nies, members of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety underwriters. The plan is a part of the companies program to re- duce traffic accidents by making safe driving a profitable practice to the individual motorist.
 In addition to the chevron ci- tation, national bureau companies will return 1 5 per cent of the annual liability policy premium to policy holders who have a year of accident-free to their credit.
 "A vast majority of traffic &C., cidents are ayoidable, said Will liam Leslie, general manager of the national bureau. We want to see the accident ratio reduced for both humanitarian and economic reasons"
 On the humanitarian side, no one may predict where the cereless driver will start next. On the eco- homie side, the dollars and cents cost of accidents last year alone would have rebuilt the slums of any. of three of our largest cities.
 Every weapon we can command should be used to stop this un- necessary waste of human life and economic resources.
