The relief fund started by Mayor Oaynor in re sponse to a cable from the Lord Mayor of London and the fund of the women's relief committee hardly had been an nounced before contributions began to pour in today. More than $15,000 was received at the Mayor's oTice and. between $12,000 and $13,000 at the residence of Mrs. Abraham S. Hewitt. Nearly $7000 was collected by n'ewspapers. making about $50,000 in'all. AV I. Morgan & Co. made the largest Individual subscription, a check for $10,000. Andrew Carnegie gave $5000. The American Red Cross was allowed by the floor committee of the stock exchange to start a fund there and raised several thousand dollars. The promptest emergency work was that of a special committee from the New York Stock Exchange, which brought to the pier tonight a box con taining $20,000 in cash for immediate distribution. This money was raised yesterday and today. TAFT MAJORITY FORESEEN Vamliill County Expected to fin for President. .SHERIDAN'. Or.. April 1 S. ( Special.) Sheridan probably will give a small majority to Taft In the comlhk, pri mary election. Although party feeling never reaches high tide in hneriflan. except In local elections, the reeling this year Is strong on both sides. Yamhtll County will without doubt give the majority to" Taft. However, the large Taft tott will come from the precincts around McMlnnvllle, where the conservative wing of the Repub lican party Is exceptionally strong. A recent speech here by Claflln. the Prohibition candidate for President, has tended to rather spilt the vote, and a great many have expressed their In tention of voting the dry ticket. In regard to state matters, although the county has been flooded with1 Bourne literature, the sentiment is without doubt against him and in fa vor of an Oregon man tor the office of United states Senator. Ben Selling will probably carry Sheridan with a comfortable majority. The idea of Sen ator Bourne's non-residence, as well as his position on the tariff question, does not appeal to the sturdy rural district of Yamhill. Sltermah Relief Rill Advanced.
