Communications have been received from the pcopfe of the various districts, and they are very grate ful for what is being done for them. The people who have visited the places say that there is a large amount of clothing.' and that they will soon be supplied 'with all that they need. Money and provisions will still be needed hi great abundance, however, for there are A large number of families that have been left homeless, and will have to be supplied with shelter for the Winter, and given money with which to get "their homes in seme shape again. Business Men Give Cash. The bulk of the cash has come from the business men of the city, and the Mer chants' Protective Association will have charge ot the distribution of most of the money collected. This fund already amounts to $2400 50, and the Telegram fund has been turned over to the associa tion to distribute, which amounts to $S15. The members yesterday received word from the Springwater country that the people there need money. Accordingly $250 was sent to them. After a consultation with J. B. Bradley, of -Bridal Veil, it was decided that a committee. of reliable men should be appointed from Palmer, who would look into the situation there and send to Portland for what they thought was needed. Mr. Lcnnett and Mr. Dixon were appointed, and have the matter in charge. A dispatch was received from Mayor O'Donnell, of Elma, Wash., that the people there need groceries and pro visions. Accordingly $300 worth of pro visions was sent to them yesterday. A letter of thanks was received from Attor ney Avey.

Among the churches there has been a general activity and a large relief fund has been gathered. In response to the call ot Rev. Julian Hatch, the pastor of the Springwater Church, the Presbyterian churches of Portland have sent out two big wagon loads of supplies, and tqday will send two more. Enough clothing will go from these" churches to meet the needs of all the people of Springwater for a long time. In addition to clothing-, staple gro ceries have gone from Wadhams & Kerr Bros., and 1000 pounds of flour from Rlchet Bros. Besides supplies, these churches have sent In cash, to be distrib uted by Rev. Mr. Hatch, $SSS, the First Presbyterian Church sending $2S9, Cal vary $75 55, Fourth Church $1S 45, and the Westminster Church $5. About $20 Is still on hand for the same purpose. Calvary Presbyterian Church, finding that the other churches would abundantly provide for Springwater, sent a wagonload of boxed supplies to Bridal Veil. A. D. Soper, of the Third-Street Mission, personally attended to the distribution of the goods that were sent to Springwater. After his return last night he said: "The greatest needs of Springwater can now be best supplied by cash. Wire fencing, lumber, seed grain and feed for the stock are the pressing demands. . "The people manifest a courageous and unselfish spirit at Springwater. They speak cheerfully about their losses, and are full of plans to restore their farms. Where relief Is mentioned, however, the tear springs to the eye, and eich in turn refers to the greater needs and heavier losses of others, and expresses concern that he first should be considered. Such people take relief hard, but they will remember the spirit of sympathy in which it is sent is not a spirit of patronage." The other churches of the city are tak ing an active Interest in the work, and many relief boxes are being sent out. Dr. George E. "Van Waters, rector of St. David's Episcopal Church, called his guild together on Wednesday to devise a sys tematic plan for securing the largest and most prompt aid for "Are sufferers." Fol lowing upon voluntary offerings, person al solicitation is to be made among others of the congregation by the society. In addition to this it Is sending out 125 pos tals, as follows: "A special meeting of the Women's Guild of St. David's Parish was called, to consider the needs of the 'fire sufferers' and how to meet them. The guild con tributes a sum of money, also begins at once the miking of comforters. You are urgently requested to send to St. David's rectory, not later than Tuesday, Septem ber 23, offerings of money, clothing or anything of use to the sufferers; also to ask your friends and neighbors to Join with you in this very necessary work. The Committee." The Woman's Home Missionary Society XEED OF GENERAL RELIEF COMMITTEE. "It is necessary that a central com mittee be organized for the dlstriba tlon of the relief fund." said General O. Summers last nlsht. "The Elks will hold a meeting at their headquarters at 10 o'clock tomorrow to take - up tho matter, but. since a meetlnc has been called for 1 o'clock at the City Hall, the Elks' committee will be on hand. My plan is to see the Road Supervisors of each district. They know everyone In tholr community, and will know who needs help and who does not. There will not be any too much contributed, and It is necessary that the help go to thoi who need It the worst. If the separate committees work Independently they will duplicate each other's work and many will be given more than their share, while there will be others who are left out." The Elks' contribu tion of $350 Is tho largest donation of any fraternal organization so far. of the Grace M. E. Church is still re ceiving donations and the church will be open today and tomorrow. The members would be glad to have articles of house furnishing and bedclothes brought In as well as money and clothing. The lodge of Maccabees has taken up the work and State Commander Sherwood Is taking the lead in the movement. The lodge has many members among the un fortunates of Palmer and will attend to their relief at once. Mayor Dlmmlck, of Oregon City, has been consulted as to the best way to help the Springwater people. Ed Werleln is treasurer and will be glad to receive contributions from any source, as well as from Maccabees over the state. At a meeting of the ElkB' lodge last night it was decided to give $350 to the relief fund and O. Summers, J. F. Olesn, J. M. Gellert, Otto ScHuman and Dr. Hamilton Meade were appointed a com mittee to receive subscriptions. They will meet at tbe Elks' headquarters at Seventh and Stark streets at 10 A. M. to day to receive contributions, and anything in the way of clothing or provisions will be received as well as cash donations. The fire relief committee of the First Congregational Church will close its work, for the present, today, and all who wish to bring donations will please' bring them to the church at the Madison-street entrance.

ELKS' MAKE A KICK Lodge Members Complain of Jabour's Percentage. COMMITTEE DEFENDS ACTION Carnival Managers Say That Better 'Terms Were Made With Midway Promoter Than7 at Seattle Some Bills Excessive. Complaints are heard around town about the large' share of the carnival ;recelpta that went to Jabour. The complaints have almost amounted to aspersions on certain members ot the carnival commit tee. These gentlemen are quite Indignant that they should be made victims of the slander. They think that this kind of a reward is poor return' for the hard work which they devoted to the success of the carnival. "We will demand that the accounts be thoroughly Investigated," say some of the Elks, and from the general talk among them It is supposed that there will be some interesting times before the mat ters are adjusted. The members of tho committee say, however, that they are prepared to account for every cent of the money and invite Investigation. It was thought that the report would bo made last night ot the meeting of the Elks, but as there were a number of bills that were etlll out, a complete report could not be made and the matter was postponed. "We had to accept Jabour's terms," say the members of the carnival com mittee, "for had we not done so there would have been no carnival. As it was, we got a better contract with him than did the Seattle Elks for their carnival. Jabour's share of the midway receipts was 75 per cent, and of the main ga'te re ceipts, 50 per cent. The criticism is that he should' not have had any part of the main gate receipts, inasmuch as he did not contribute to the features of that part of the carnival. Two years- ago he obtained 85 per cent of the- midway re ceipts of the Elks carnival up to $10,000, and over $10,000 his share was SO per cent. He did not share In the Income of the main gate. But this year his show was much larger and worth more money. At Seattle this year he got 75 per cent of tho entire collections. About six weeks before the Carnival that has Just ended In Portland, the com mittee In charge had a long course of ne gotiations with Jabour, extending over a week. Jabour held out for 55 per cent of the main gate receipts, In addition to 75 per cent of tho Midway collections, and the commltteo would not accede to the terms, for it believed them excessive. It held out stubbornly against giving Jabour any of tho main gate money, and tried to get him to make moro favorable terms. He refused. It said it could not accept his terms. Jabour wired back that he would accept 50 per cent of the main gate money, instead of 55 per cent. The com mittee then demanded $500 for advertls-: Ing, and Jabour assented. The' terms for which Jabour had contended were those he had with the Seattle Elks for their carnival. The committee therefore ob tained not only 5 per cent of the main gate receipts more than did tho Seattle Elks, but also secured $500 for advertising, a concession which Jabour did not make to Seattle at all. When the contract was made with Jabour, time was precious! The date of the openulng of the Carnival was drawing near. Mrechants of the city had con tributed nearly $12,000 to the project. An obligation rested upon the committee to bring the show to a successful issue. The Portland lodge had made Itself sponsor for the successs of the Carnival. It had assumed the obligation that had rested upon the Multnomah Club. Under the circumstances the committee felt that to Jeopardize the success of the Carnival by future uncertainty amounted to breach of faith with the merchants of the city. The cqmmlttee, therefore, closed the deal with Jabour. And it se cured better terms than the Multnomah Club ha'd negotiated with him. It Is pointed out that the Carnival was well managed because the Seattle Carn ival, for which preparations had been made during many months, did not turn out so well as the one at Portland. The Portland lodge will clear probably $7000. Reports from the Puget Sound City are that the profits there were little or noth ing, In spite of the fact that receipts were over $5000 more than here. At Seattle the collections were $3S,SG0. Here they were about $33,000. The Q4.0SS admissions to the main gate brought in about $9400, and the 43,644 admissions to the midway nearly $22,000. There were also special con cessions which were sold for about $2500. "The Carnival committee accepted Jabour's terms because It saw no other course to pursue," said George E. Cham berlain yesterday, president of that body. "It was either those terms or no Carn ival. In regard to the bills; yes, some of them were excessive, but they always are on such occasions." "I think the Carnival succeeded re markably well," said Alex Sweek, secre tary of the committee. "The success surpassed my expectations. Why, we had only about six weeks wherein to ad vertise and promote the Fair. Even under these adverse circumstances ours did better than the Seattle Carnival, which was advertised months ahead. I very much regret the criticism that has arisen. If the critics had worked as wo have done they would think we were en titled to better reward than censure." "I am more than pleased with the out come of the Carnival," said R. W. Hoyt, treasurer of the committee. "The fact is that we simply had to take Jabour on the terms we did, or go without a Carn ival. We were In duty bound to carry the Carnival to a successful issue." ASSOCIATED PRESS MEETS Directors and Officers Are Chosen for the Ensuing: Year. NEW YORK, Sept IS.

The Sov ereign Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., by a vote of 156 to 16, repealed the amendment to the constitution adopted at Indianap olis in 1901, admitting members of mixed Indian and white blood. The debate was spirited, and the amendment was support ed In a vigorous manner by the Indian Territory delegates, who originally se cured its adoption on the ground that many men of high character have Indian blood in their veins. The delegates who opposed the amendment were practically all from the Southern jurisdictions, and expressed the fear that if adopted. It would prove the opening wedge which might eventually Wsult In admitting the negro to membership. Today's session was devoted mainly to exhibition prize-drill contests of Patri archs Militant at the fair grounds. Awards will be announced tomorrow. New Fire In Idaho. WASHINGTON, Sept IS.
