lief Station.
The relief committee held its daily
session this morning at the Chamber
of Commerce, Mr. Hook. secretary
and treasurer, made a report on the
financial situation, stating that he
and Mr. Berry Benson were at pres
ent very busy looking after the cler
ical work connected with the react
movement, balancing up accounts and
compiling a full list of all contribu
tions received up to date.
Active work of directing the relief
work is in the hands of Mr. Rowland
and Capt. Huguet. Mr. Hook read a
list of all contributions received to
day, and submitted a statement of
funds on hand.
C. T. Walker, chairman of the col
ored committee, stated to the gen
eral committee that he had thus far
been unable to secure mattresses for
destitute negroes from any relief sub
station except, that located at St.
James' church. He stated that a,l
his orders had been turned down at
the Salvation Army station. Mr. Row
land at this point Instructed Walker
to meet him at 1 o'clock today, so
they could do over the matter thor
oughly, and promised, furthermore,
that he would look after the colored
committee.
Silas X. Floyd talked for some min
utes along the same line. He said
that the colored committee was will
ing and glad to be of any service to
the general committee they rntiid ren
der, but that 'thus far they had been
unable to secure mattresses from any
station except that at St. James'
church. He submitted a suggestion
that the superintendents of various,
sub-stations be Instructed to honor
the signature of C. T. Walker, when
affixed to an order for mattresses
really needed by destitute negroes
seeking aid. He stated that he and
Walker would both be glad if the com
mittee appoint one of their number
to accompany Walker in his visits to
the stricken area. Chairman Young
ordered that Capt. Huguet and Mr.
Rowland talk over the situation with
Floyd and Walker together.
The rommltt.ee will, subsequently,
meet at 12 o'clock noon every day, In
stead of 11 o'clock, according to a
motion made by Mr. Phinizy and pass
ed by the committee.
Cpon motion of Mr. Hook It was
voted that a competent collector he
employed to secure In cash or check

five mile* south of thst port today

big ship drifted helplessly on the
rocks while the wives and relative* of
the crew, unable to render the sllgh*-

slide off a shelving rock and sink In'
