Manning, 411 Commercial Block, to Ft. S. Howard, treasurer of the Asso ciated Charities, at Ladd & Tll ton'a bank, or to The Oregron ian. Donations of foodstuffs, supplies and clothing should be sent to the Associated Char ities, 411 Commercial Block. More than S1600 has been contributed already to the Christmas relief fund of the Associated Charities, and besides this donation of cash, hundreds of dol lars' worth of clothing and grocery supplies have been received Still the amount of the donations waxes greater each day and there is every indication of a greater Christmas relief fund this season than in any preceding year. Mrs. L. F. Logan yesterday donated the use of an automobile for one of the visiting assistants of the Charities, and by this help the assistant was en abled to carry relief to more than double the number of needy families than she would have been able to serve Tinder other conditions. The Charities, as the rush of the Christmas season advances, hopes to secure two more au tomobiles, so that its scope of help may be more than quadrupled. In the time when the stress is greatest. Corps Sends Supplies. Among the contributions yesterday, aside from cash donations, the Sumner Relief Corps sent in the supplies that were left over from the dinner it had held. II. M. Dryer, of Umatilla, wrote announcing that he would donate 250 rabbits to the food supplies of the Charities if they could be used. Clothing was. donated by Mrs. T. W. Nordby, B. C. Griffin, Mrs. B. M. Lom bard, Mrs. Anna M. Senour, Mrs. Frank C. Harmon, the Macedonian Society, Mrs. Edith Clayton, Mrs. Frank Habert, Mrs. A. C. Berry, Mrs. Blanche Giles. In the grocery department the Char ities will make today "Bean day" and issue a special call for contributions of beans. Twenty-five cents' worth of beans will help greatly in filling out the supply of staple foodstuffs in the grocery department. Last week the "Sugar day" brought in contributions of sugar enough to last for a long time in the relief work. The Charities is preparing a list of suggestions for Bundle day, which has been set by the Mayor for Tuesday, and will issue this list soon, as a guide to those who contemplate preparing bun dles for donation to the Charities' re lief department. Typical of the many cases that are calling for instant relief and which are to be served out of the Christmas relief fund to which the people of Portland are contributing are the following: Opportunity 02 Mother and Child 111. Home May Be I. oat. Out of work in a foreign land, with a sick wife and three children, one of which is suffering from tubercular trou ble, is the condition in which one of the wards of the Associated Charities has found himself. Until he lost his work he was paying installments on a home, but now it appears that this may be lost through the unavoidable lapse In the payments. The wife is tubercular. The oldest child is only 10 years old and the youngest, which is thought to be suf fering from the same disease that is weakening Its mother, Is only ' two years old. Opportunity 03 17-Year-Old Girl Sup. ports Family. Seven dollars a week, the earnings of a 17-year-old girl, are the the sole means of support for one family of six. The rent has fallen in arrears and the family Is likely soon to have to move from the house. The father has lost his Job and has not been able to secure any means of supporting the family for a long time. The mother is 111 and in need of spe cial diet and caro. Opportunity 4 Dmerted Woman Dea lltnte. Deserted by her husband, a little woman has the burden of supporting four children. The eldest child is deaf and requires constant attention. The family is in immediate need of food and supplies and it probably will be necessary for the Charities to carry the rent throughout the remainder of the Winter unless some other perma nent arrangement can be made. The free clinic just recently estab lished In the Selling building by the Rotary Club has offered its services to the Charities and many who are in need of medical attention are to be sent there for holp.

Firm. Composed of 16 Members, That Hag Laid Many Sewers, Declared Irresponsible by Mr. lMeclc N. Dayoff, who with C. Takeoff are leaders of an organization of Syrians who have been doing sewer contract ing work in Portland will "take off" many "dayoffa." The City Commission yesterday adopted a report presented by Commissioner Dieck declaring the organization which has been known as the Oregon Contracting Company to be irresponsible bidders. On the strength of the adoption of the report the concern lost a contract for the building of a sewer in Tibbetts street. Too much delinquency in handling contracts in the past; too little "sabe" of English; too much quarreling and too much trouble forcing them to do the work right were the reasons given by Commissioner Dieck for classing the concern as irresponsible. It was an nounced that out of 16 contracts han dled by the concern there has been trouble over 13. Work was not done right and there was a constant quarrel between the foreman of the Syrians and the city sewer inspectors. The Syrians forming the company bid extremely low for sewer contracts and got many. Sometimes bids were sub mitted under the name of K. T. Azar and at other times under the name of the Oregon Contracting Company. The 16 partners in the business did all the work. The net amount received above expenditures was distributed equally. Because of this unusual profit system the concern has received practically all of the small sewer contracts for several months past. The Syrians forming the concern are Hanna Aboud, S. Sabaebb, Alec Sulef, I. Dyar, J. Sulef, B. Charley, J. Vanoff, J. Baroff, C. Takeoff, P. Hassef, N. Day off, S. Tacoff, J. Massoff and S. Joseph. All appeared before the Council yesterday. CAR DRIVERS NOT BLAMED Jndge Dismisses Case Against Dr. II. II. Wellington and J. Paquet. Municipal Judge Stevenson ruled yes terday that the automobile collision between Joseph Paquet and Dr. H. H. Wellington, at Union avenue and ICnott treet, December 3, resulting in In juries to two persons, was an unavoid able accident. Mr. Paquet appeared in court yesterday charged with reckless driving. The case was dismissed. Mr. Paquet is vice-president of the Citizens' Bank. He testified that Dr Wellington turned down Knott street. and that the machines collided during the turn. He said that his steering gear was disabled by the collision and that he had no control of the car when it ran on the sidewalk. Dr. Welling ton practically agreed to this account of the accident. Viola Hemick, the 10-year-old daugh ter of Mrs. R. Hemick, and Mrs. J. W. Johnson. 592 Union avenue, were in jured by Mr. Paquet's machine. WIFE IS DENIED ADMISSION John Ii. Costello Asks That Spouse Be Kept From His Bier. That his wif3. Lulu O'Brien, should be prevented from attending his fun eral or viewing his body was a provi sion of the will of the late John L. Costello, known also as John J. O'Brien, under which name he was married. The will was filed yesterday for pro- Date, together with a petition for let ters of administration, by Margaret Waddell, named In tne will as execu trix. Mr. Costello drew his will November 21 and died December 3. He directed that after death his body remain at J. 15 East Couch street until burial in harge cf Afina Chanman and Mareraret Waddell. A small estate is directed o be div-ded between the two women. Nothing was left to the surviving wii because it was said she had not lived with him for 18 months, nor had she shown him any consideration during his illness. Mr. Costello was 35 veaxa old.
