Stearns 100 Total 13.100 There are lots of good people In the -world. And Portland has its full share of them. This was demonstrated in a pictur esque and forcible manner by the huge stac k of checks, bills and stacks of gold and silver that was heaped high on the desk and table in the private of fice of Fen Selling, treasurer of the Portland Jewish relief fund, last night, at the end of a strenuous money-gathering campaign. It was the official and National day set aside by Presidential proclamation by the Nation's chief magistrate as Jewish Relief Fund day." the first In the history of the country. All Take Hand ! CampalKa. More than a bushel basketfull of checks, currency and coin was re ceived by the committee before 6 o'clock last night and the actual amount contained in this huge flood-tide of the people's big hearted response to the world-encircling cry of distress which has gone up from the starving millions In Eastern Europe was registered from all parts of the city and state. The money came from business or ganizations, from little shopkeepers, from working women and girls of modest pay envelopes, from little chil dren, from Sunday schools, from heads of big corporations and from messenger boys. It came from people of every race and color. More than 400 individual donations had been received by Treasurer Sell ing before he closed his office last night. Portland was not alone In the ava lanche of checks, money orders and cash contributions received during the day. Heppner. Hood River. The Dalles, .saiem. Albany. Newberg. Eugene. Sil- verton. Astoria and a number of smaller towns added their offerings to the general fund. The committee Is preparing to segregate the donations from outside of Portland and keep an individual list of these subscriptions by towns, so that the final report will show just what each community in the state contributed to the fund. ' Mayers SaKKeatea aa Aides. The committee has suggested that the Mayors of all the cities and towns throughout the state constitute them selves as custodians of the funds from their own communities and to advise the Portland committee of the amounts received day by day, in case the con tributors do not care to send the money directly to Portland. "This would be the much simpler way." announced the committee, last night. "We are in direct touch with the National relief committee in New York and if the subscriptions come straight to us they will be available In the war-stricken districts at least one and probably two days sooner than If they arc collected by local commit tees and then forwarded. By dis patching the funds directly to Portland the smaller towns will avoid any over head expense in handling the funds and in telegraphing it through to New "Vork. as the Portland committee Is taking care of that phase of the situ ation itself." (burr lira Aid Work. Following the announcements made In the pulpits of the churches through out the city last Sunday, a direct ap peal for free-will offerings will be made from all the churches regardless of denomination, this coming Sunday. This plan has been suggested by the committee as being the best way of getting quick and direct action. The ministers are expected to pre sent the matter to their congregations during the services next Sunday and then appoint some member of the con gregation to turn the proceeds of the collection over to Treasurer Selling on . Monday. No effort has been made as yet to check up with the various banks and newspapers which have been designated as auxiliary custodians of the relief funds, but this part of the campaign will be looked after either tomorrow or Monday. "I think it would be advisable for the hanks and newspapers to send in a heck covering the total amounts col lated by them." suggested Treasurer Selling last night. "That would sim plify matters a great deal." Walla Walla Aids Jews. . ! WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 27.
