BEN SELLING'S HARD WORK Kept Busy All Day at His "Work as Treasurer of the Relict Fund Handling the Coin and Checks That Pxmr In. Am greatly (pleased with the 'generous ac tivity you and your community display. . JACOB SCHIFF. The flood of checks, lottors and gold which has poured upon the desk of Ben Selling:, treasurer of the local relief com mittee. 1b mute evidence of what the Portland people feel for the tortured, per secuted Jews of Russia, and the per sistency with which the contributions keep coming in only goes'-to show that this sympathy is growing among cvory class. Aside from the thouainds con tributed by the Jewish citizens them selves, Protestants and Catholics, negroes and Chinese have volunteered their of ferings td help alleviate the sufferings of distressed humanity. Sect, nationality and denomination have been swept anlde In the common cause of helping fellow beings, and the poor man puts his hand in hip pocket just as freely as the rich man opens his wallet, giving with hc same spirit of pity and sympathy. Kept Busy at His Desk. Yesterday Treasurer Selling did not have time to leave his defk to solicit outside, for the contributions which gen c mas-hearted citizens brought in person, sent by messenger or mail, kept him busy all day long. "Every dollar of that mrins succor to some unfortunate," he said at dosing time last night; "and I feel sure, if the doners of these offerings could half realize what it will mean to the starving, freezing victims of the mob, they would feel that it was well In vested " Second Check for Five Thousand. The second check for ?3000 was sent to the National committee in New York yes terday afternoon, making so far 510,000 to go from Portland to swell the million-dollar fund which America expects to raise. The telegram from Jacob Schiff was received in reply to the notllication of the second contribution which Adolph Wolfe and Ben Selling wired early In the day. But this was not the end, for from the present rate at which money Is coming inr the Rose City will have sent at least 515,000 if not 518.000. The committee feels that the attitude the press has taken in the matter has not only served to swell the contributions but will eventually have a wonderful ef fect upon the affairs In Russia. "The Jewish citizens of Portland ap preciate the attitude of The Orogonlan In this matter more than we shall ever be able to express," said one of the com mittee, "Jt and other papers like it are having a tremendous .influence on this question, and it Is my belief that he American press will eventually cause he present government of Russia to fall tp pieces." JjCttcrs of Sympathy. The tone of the letters which many citi zens send with their contributions is par ticularly pleasing to the committee, and they take great pleasure in the expres sions of sympathy which they contain. One of the most characteristic came from William Clarke, editor of the Gcrvals Weekly Star, who wrote: "I want to help, loo." and Inclosed his check for 510. A liberal contributor of the day was Jona than Bourne, who wrote: "Dear Mr. Selling: With slncerest sym pathy for your persecuted coreligionists in Russia, and admiration for your efforts to alleviate their sufferings, I herewith In close my check for 5100. Very sincerely ours. J. BOURNE, JR." Dan J. Malarkey was another citizen who made the Jews feel that their friends were many and sincere. He wrote: "Dear Sir: Herewith find my contribu tion to the fund for the relief of the Jews or Russia. I cannot find words to express my horror and Indignation at the treat ment of the Russian Jews. If conditions are as depicted in our newspapers. Inter vention by other governments in the name of decency and humanity is certainly due. Every one, regardless of creed or race, should contribute according to his means to this fund you are collecting. Yours very truly, DAN J. MALARKBY. Sends Liberal Check. Jacob Mayer, of the firm of Flelschner. Mayer & Co., sent in his check for 5150. Dr. Edgar P. Hill wrote that the treasurer o the congregation would forward a check for the Sunday-evening contrlbu- ! tion. and regretted that it was not larger. He wrote, in conclusion: "All I could do was to devote to this splendid cause the offering of our evening meeting, which is made up almost altogether of those who live In boarding-houses near here. Though the sum is small, It goes to you with our heartiest regards for you and the people of your church, and our deepest sympathy for your suffering brethren across the sea." Chinese Among the Xumber. One of yesterday's contributors was a Chinese, and the dollar he gave Is partic ularly appreciated by the committee. Afraid that- he did not understand the ob ject of the fund being raised, there was some hesitancy about accepting It, but Jung San knew all about it, and said he wanted to help like every one else. Mr. Selling has several hundred dollars in small amounts which he has mot been able to list yet, as it came in so rapidly that it was Impossible to keep accurate count. The little black memorandum book in which the names arc being listed is grad ually filling up, however, and citizens are beginning to feel glad that their names are written there. Two more days like yesterday and the 51500 mark will easily be reached. Those Who Contributed.

Berlin and SL Petersburg, which was hcW here today, under the presidency of Lord Rothschild, resolved to send an Influential traveling commission to Russia to visit all places where Jews were reported to have suffered during the disturbances. This commission will report to the central bu- ' roau established at Berlin, where all the statistics will be collected. The moneys needed will be forwarde to a banking house of the Messrs.

At a mass meeting of Jews of Whlte chapel. held tonight. Sir Robert Thrcshle Reid. ex-Attorney-General, who presided, expressed the sympathy of all Christians with the persecuted Jews In Russia, and said: "If 1 had one drop of Jewish blood in m veins, I would not rest until I had founded a city of refugo in which the men and women of your race could find sReltur from destruction." Israel Zangwlll. who made an impas sioned speech, introduced a resolution, which was passed unanimously, express ing indignation and horror at the out rages. The resolution declared that the establishment of an autonomous Jewish colony for the gradual reception of op pressed Jews was the only solution of tho Russo-Jewish question. A letter was read from Joseph Chamber lain, approving the scheme of the estab lishment of a Jewish colony under the British flag. He expressed the greatest sympathy with the Jewish cause, and re gretted that the late Dr. Hcrel's scheme for a Jewish ,colony in South Sirica had been abandoned. He said the terrible ovents In Eastern Europe intensified the necessity to solve the Jewish problem, and added to the responsibility of the Chris tian nations with regard to this problem. He said he would, therefore, be glad to advance in any possible way any revival of the scheme of Dr. Herzl or a practical amendment thereof. MISERY AROUND KISHIXEFF Pitiful Appeal for Aid for Many Ruined Jews. NEW YORK. Nov. 14. A cablogram from Kishlneff, describing the misery in that section of Russia, was received today by the State Bank here. It roads: "Colossal distress.

JEWS IX OWX DEFENSE Association Asks 3Ioney to Buy Arms for Russia's Oppressed. NEW YORK, Nov. 14. The Jewish De fense Association today issued a call to Jewish people to help their countrymen ! It declared that many massacres had been prevented by a strong organization of young Jews known as the Self-Defense Organization. At Odessa the organiza tion could not cope with the overwhelm ing numbers of longshoremen and "black gangs." In Poland, where martial law has been proclaimed, the Self-Defense Organization has mapped out the cities into districts, each with a leader. They need more funds in order to purchase more firearms. The call declares that funds for this purpose will be promptly forwarded through secret channels. America Haven of Persecuted. NEW YORK. Nov. 14. Jacob H.

He said: "The tutmoil in Russia must have some serious consequences to the United States. It will mean an im mense Immigration, and this country must keep Its doors wide open to al low those who flee from that country to enter. The Jew has a large and generous heart for those afflicted, and will aid greatly hospitals and like in stitutions. "But when it comes for a Jew to contribute for the head, for ed ucation, nothing good can be said. "There are many races of the Jews, five or six at least. The races cross in this country, and they will unite In making the greatest Jew that ever ex isted, the American Jew. If we want this, we must do our duty to that race, and In the end' the world will get the benefit." Omaha Sends Money East. OMAHA, Nov. 14.

WILL PROMISE NOTHING BETTER Oregon Water Power Will Do Nothing to Relieve the Overcrowded Cars. PORTLAND RAILWAY WILL Hurlburt Tells tho Committee He Has Xo Power, hut Fuller Agrees to 3Iakc Many Improvements. Whatever else the grievance committee of the East Side Improvement Association might have learned during ita visits to the general managers of the Oregon Water Power & Railway and the Port land Railway Companies yesterday after noon. It did take more firmly to Its col lective hoart ihe truth of the old adage that "A soft answer turneth away wrath." It is also more firmly convinced than ever that honesty Is the post ollcy' and that a straightforward deal and fair treatment go a long way toward making the pain easier to boar. Committee Makes Calls. Yesterday afternoon. Just at 2 o'clock, a committee from the East Side Associa tion composed of Dr. A. W. Moore. D. iL Donaugh. Dan Keillhcr. A. G. Rushlight. F. S. Bennett and W. L. Thorndyke. or St. Johns, met In the office of Dr. Moore, in the Dekum building, and prepared, metaphorically speaking, to beard the Hons in their dens. W. II. Hurlburt. general manager of tho Oregon Water Power Company, was the first one chosen for the inquisition and the com mittee advanced upon his office on mastfe. desiring to know many things, chief among them being why it whs that working girls ware eompolled to hang upon the few simps generously donated by the company during tho long ride to Mount Scott. Sullwood and the othor suburbs fcer.ej by the com pany, or falling the straps to stand packed in so tightly w'lh work-soiled men that It would "bo impossible for them to fall no matter hew groat the lurches made by the fitst-runring cars. There wero other questions upon the lips of the commltJe 5uch as: "If a man hangs on the ses-s cf a car or the drawhoads by his toes and his fingers twice a day for an indefinite lime, how long will it be before th trvloc is ira provod." Xo Power, Says Hurlburt. To all of theso questions Mr. Hurlburt answered "No power," but held out the hope that Inasmuch as the company wished to run an up-to-date railroad, the time would come, presumably in May next, "when the Cazadoro power station "was working, whdj the service would be made better and part of the people could secure scats part of the way part of the time and some of tiem all of the way all of the time. Mr. Hurlburt also said that the pa rons of the road "were cranky and all -wanted to be served Individually Irre spective of the convenience olo;t'atlon on the part of the company, and that they each wished t6 bo picked- up wher ever they came to a street crosf ng and put' down whenever thoy could catch the eye of the conductor. II-s hau been consldorlng tho questions of bettor set vice on all linos of the company, ho said, and would do what lie could. Then the committee left for the oilico of F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Railway Com pany, to talk over tho Eaut Sldo srv Ico propor with the othsr line. Fuller Promises Relief. Mr. Fuller talked frankly and took the committee into his confidence. Ho got out his charts of car work done and showed -Just how much each oar car ried at the different hours of the day, and what had been done and what would be done to remedy existing evils as fast as the equipment would enable changes to be made. He also admitted that the service was unsatisfactory and Inadequate during certain hours of the day and said he would sec what could be done by the company to do away with cause of complaint, both on the SL Johns line and on other East Side linos. He explained that changes had been made after the close of the Ex position, and that the unexpected In crease of business had shown that the plans of tho company would have to beJ changed to meet the new conditions. Those plans would be put Into effect as Aoon as the company could get the cars out again which wore now In repair after the hard service of the Summer, or could provide new equip ment to be put on lines where it was needed. The committee there learned the lesson of the fair deal and the soft answer and left comforted with the as surance of hope ahoad. Dr. Moore Opens Conference. When the committee, on Its first visit, roached the office of Mr. Hurlburt, Dr. Moore opened the conference by stating the object of the call. He said that the Mount Scott and Sell wood service was notably bad, while other lines were not much better, and asked what could be done. Mr. Hurlburt said he would be will ing to answer. If he could, any questions that might be put to him. JDr. Moore then went ovor the situation on the Mount Scott line. He showed that the cars were filled full before they left First and Alder streets, while the streets were blocked with Impatient passengers on the East Side waiting for cars to their suburban homes. The girls of the East Side, who worked during the day In the laundries and factories of that district, were unable to find room on the cars, or if they did were obliged to stand, without oven having straps to hang to, until the cars reached their destinations, or came noar to it- He pointed out that as high 110 people were packed into cars with a sating capacity of half tho number, until It was almost Impossible cither to get on or off. Xot Until Xcst May. "I don't know what to say in answer." said Mr. Hurlburt. "I have had the mat ter under consideration for weeks. It Is the duty of the company to do what It can for the comfort and convenience of the patrons. You understand the condi tions under which tho company took the line. At that time it was a failure with a 10-ecnt fare At that time we were to run 12 round trips a day, but we have not been governed by those conditions, but have done the best wc could for the ac commodation of the people. "Wc are now up against a hard game," continued Mr. Hurlburt. "We are ham pered by the lack of power, and cannot do any better than at present until the latter part of May. when the Cazadcro power plant Is' running. We are doing as well as wc can with the power at command, and cannot Increase the service or haul trail ers on account of the power and the heavy grades over that line." - "If you haul five and six loaded freight I ears up the Hawthorne-avenue hllU why can't you haul a trailer loaded with pas sengers?" queried Dr. Moore. Mr. Hurlburt explained: . "Wc haul freight during tho morning and the middle of the day," he said. "The trouble Is be tween the hours of 5 and 7. That is when the business is done. There Is not a city In the United States where you will, not see people hanging to the straps during those hours. There Is not a city where you will find as good service as In Port land. We have done the best wc can. Wc have put on trippers, but cannot do so well as wo would like on account of the single track. We have to divide about one-half of the business with the Portland Railway Company on account of trans fers, and cannot go to much expense on new tracks and new equipment on such a long haul for so small a fare." Will Xot Use Trailers. Mr. Hurlburt said the same conditions prevailed on the Scllwood line. "Why can't trailers be used on the Scll wood llneT' asked Mr. Rushlight. "The company does not want to shoul der the responsibility of crossing the Southern Pacific tracks on the East Side with two-motor cars, hauling trailers," said Mr. HurlburL "The crossings on the East Side are dangerous, and the com pany went down the bank of the river to o&apc them. The time Is coming when crossings will be made through viaducts to avoid the danger. Wo cannot draw the heavy trailers with two-motor cars." Mr. Rushlight thought no saw a point left unguarded. "It seems to me." he said, "that the cars, which draw such hoaw loads of human freight In trailers to the Oaks could draw tho Sellwood trail ers." Mr. Hurlburt said that these cars could not haul the trailers up the hills on the Scllwood line. "Thon. according to your statcmont. you have no nowcr to Increase the service." said Mr. Rushlight, and Mr. Hurlburt answered In disheartening wlsc. "No, wc have not." Xumber of Extra Cars. The discussion at this point changed from power to "packing" and the com mittee went over the crowding ques tion. It was shown that the human snr dinos, s'owed away for long, tiresome rldos, became cross and insolent. Jeal ous of tho standing room allotted thorn, and It was contended that If a few extra cars could be put on during the rush hours it would greatly help conditions. "How many extra cara do you think It would take?" asked Mr. HurlDUrt. and tho committee not being able to tell, the general manager proceeded to show It, "Tho cars would have to be brought from Mllwaukie and that would take an hour," he said. '"Thon It would take another hour to run to Lon.s. The cars would then have to lie run back to, the barns at Mllwaukie. Much of this time would be lost, for the curs would run empty. The men running them would have to be paid.' Suys Losing; Venture. Mr. Hurlburt showed to hla satisfac tion. If not to that of the committee. hat such a course, would urove u los ing venture for tnc company. He tnen went Into kicks In general' and told of a few samples that came under his at tention. One man complained because the through cars from Mount Scott did not stop for him in front of his house. whilo another was angry because the car on the Mount Tabor line stopped in front of the Burroll residence on top of the hill and not a block nearer the city on the hillside. "What relief are we to expect?" askod Dr. Moore, after Mr. Hurlburt had stopped talking. "We are Just as anxious to give re llof as you arc to have It." answered Mr. Hurlburt without ambiguity. "When we get the power we can como close to a seven-minute service. We have .shortened the schedule from time to time without requests from the poo plo because wc thought that was the way to run a railroad." "Wc had hoped for relief during the morning and the evening In the very noar future," suggested Dr. Moore. "We have rellovod you to some ex tent," said Mr. Hurlburt. parrying. "But the lines are very severely oon gostod yet," It was reminded. All Leave al Same Time. "The trouble is that all the people start to leave town at once." explained Mr. Hurlburt. 'To relieve the conges tion during the busy hours would re quire from six to eight trippers on the Mount Scott line alone. These cars would make a single trip. That would mean two hours and 45 minutes of serv ice for each car. It would take two-men at 26 cents an hour to handle each car. to say nothing of the wear and tear ot traffic or the doterloration of stock. You can figure the cost up for yourselves." Mr. Kelluhor came onto the firing line. "How would It do," he asked, 'no put on a short service between here and Mount Tabor and make a through -service to Mount Scott?" "I don't know how that would do. I have it jmder consideration," said Mr. Hurlburt. The only thing I can say," con cluded the general manager, as the committee rose to leave, "Is that I will look into the situation carefully, and If there Is any relief I can give I will do it- But when it comes to the ques tion of a seat for every person, that is another question." Anxious to Please. When the committee had seated Itself in a cosy semi-circle In front of Gen eral Manager Fuller, of the Portland Ralway Company. Mr. Thomdyke, qf St. Johns, made the opening speech. He said about the same thing that Dr. Moore had told Mr. Hurlburt, only St. Johns, and not Mount Scott, was tho contention. The speaker praised the service during the Exposition, but said that he and his constituents did not like the thought of having to go back to a half-hour service now that the Ex position was over. Mr. Fuller stated that while there were less cars running now between the hours of 9 In the morning and 1 In the afternoon than during the Fair, there were more on the line In the evening hours than during that time. Mr. Thomdyke stated that on Sunday last one car brought 100 persons from St. Johns to the city, while for the past two weeks the congestion had been se vere. Mr. Fuller admitted that 100 or more persons to the car was an abnormal load and something that the company did not want. Travel Increases Unexpectedly. "Of course." said Mr. Fuller, "I want you gentlemen to understand that thore -would not have been any change In the schedule had we thought It would make any great difference. We have' been waiting to watch the change in conditions since the close of the Fair In order to reorganize the service to suit the new requirements." Mr. Fuller went on to state that since the close of the Fair the great Increase In business had surprised him and overthrown the plans of the com pauy for handling the regular patrons of the road. He admitted that the serv ice durlne- the rush hours was not ade quate, and said it was the desire of the company to do all that was possible to remedy the defects. He said thai readjustment of the Washington, the Morrison, the Wraverly, Woodlawn and Woodstock lines had been mado as well as that of St- Johns. He stated that the company was planning to make a five or six-minute service to Woodlawn by running a car to Highland and running through cars to Woodlawn. He also said that the company was trying te handle (hc business without running the open trailers, but that If It became necessary he would put them oa the Women In the midst acute by The derangement the body quivering with pain.

Mr. Fuller also stated tha.t no oppor tunity was given during the Fair for tho painting or repair of cars, and that about nine were kept in the shops now. undergoing repairs. Until this work was done, the company would be that much short of Winter equipment. Mr. Fuller assured the committee that the company would do what It could to relieve the congestion, and as fast us it was possible would try to take care of tho heavy business of the rush hours in the evening. Fund for Miss LoubcC ".Find inclosed $1 to add to the fund for Miss Loubot, the unfortunate French girl injured for Hie in the lire at the State House Inn. I do not give it as charity, but rather as something each owes the other In this world." This was the statcmont of one of the many notes with Inclosures received at The Ore gonian office yesterday. Too many peo ple who arc healthy and strong cannot notice this opportunity to aid the suffer ing. The cry for aid has gone out from this office and many are the sympathetic souls who have answered the call. Even the little ones In the lower grades of the grammar schools have given their pen nies and dimes to this worthy cause and others can do no better than to follow the lead already made. It is a worthy cause, a terrible affliction, it can be rem edied, but a fund must do the latter. Sub scriptions, to which The Oregonion is al ways open, will give thnt aid.

And equally authentic (sic) Is the statement that Mr. Alexander did not buy a draft for 3500 and mall It to Mr. Baker. N The truth Is that no such campaign fund Is being raised at all. After the Repub lican reunion of October 12. many Repub licans desired to have the proceedings of the gathering printed. To do this would have required considerable money, and at least J1200 for post4ge. A number of Re publicans outside Portland, among them Mr. Alexander, I asked to contribute to a fund for that purpose. He and others readily assented, but we afterward gave up the plan and returned the money. Be sides Mr. Alexander were S. B. Huston, of Hlllsboro; Claud Gatch and Frank been made with It. Its power had been proved, again and again, In the most difficult germ diseases. Then we offered to supply the first bottle free In every dlseasc that required It.
