STATEMENT AS TO THE
FRISCO RELIEF FUND
(By the Associated Press.)
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 22.
Owing to the fact that publicity lias
been given to charges that a million
dollars of the relief fund contributed
to San Francisco has been diverted
or stolen, and owing to the filtther
fact that those who have sent money
to San Francisco are entitled to a
correct statement of conditions, the
California Promotion Committee has
sent out the following statement:
"More than six million dollars con
tributed to San Francisco came In
small sums, ranging from ten cents
up to thousands of dollars. These
sums came by mail and express, in
all forms, from postage stamps and
currency to money orders and bank
drafts. Of the entire amount sent,
only two sums went astray one a
package of currency containing one
thousand and eighty-five dollars and
fifty cents, from Searchlight, sent
through the Bank and Trust Com
pany of Los Angeles by express, and
the other a package of two hundred I
dollars, sent by mail from Baltimore,
"The finance committee of the cit
izens' relief committee of forty, aT
forwards incorporated as relief and
Red Cross committees, consisting of
twenty-one prominent business men
of San Francisco, received all of the
funds, and the books of this commit
tee were examined by General Hates,
a representative of the National Red
Cross Society, sent from YY'ashlngion
for that purpose, who declared them
kept under a system that guaranteed
their correctness.
"The Massachusetts association for
the relief of California sent;a eom-
sent 1 a
mittee to San Francisco to investi
gate the methods of relief work. On
its return to Boston it made a report,
going into detail and covering every
point in the work of reKef in San
Francisco. The report of this com
mittee resulted in the immediate for
warding of $250,000 to San Fran
cisco. "James D. Hague, of :'p New York
chamber of cbniiheree committee for
the relief of San Francisco, spent
several weeks v in San Francisco in
vestigating conditions. After his re
port was made 10 the .New York
bodies, Hie funds, amounting to half
a million dollars, held by the New
York committee, were ordered turned
over to the San Francisco relief com
mittee." The chicle gum imported into the
I'nited Statee practically all comes
from Yucatan, Mexico. It is so Wet.
however, when Shipped that it is sent
in vessels around by Canada to dry
out. as the duty in this country Is
ten cents per pound: thus, when it
is entered here it weighs less and pay
less duty. The American Imports for

the announcement on the bulletin

The regular , congregation, iu

vaudeville entertainment without I
going to Hammei'stein s, listened
to the manipulation of the glasses
by a lillle blond man and seemed
to be pleased.

Central Baptist with a few stunts
by a young woman whistler a week

a hit with. the congregation that the
success Qt the scheme was assured
from the start.
The church, on the south side of
Forty-second street, between Sev

heart of the theatrical district. The
