Relief Programme Prepared. The
First Christian church will hold a
npecial Armenian relief programme
Bunday night. The church has set
$1000 as its mark for the fund for the
relief of the near east. All churches
of the city are planning to make a
Christmas offering for the fund and
several have sent in their checks al
ready. Mrs. Mary Strong sent J. J.
Ilandsaker, state director, a check for
$100. Several prominent citiaens and
business concerns have signified their
intention of giving to the Christmas
offering and a number contributed
yesterday. At a meeting of 40 in
Oaston, JSO was collected. Owing to
the fact that thousands of women and
orphans are starving, the appeal
meets with Instantaneous response.
The office of the relief committee is
in the Stock Exchange bulldijig.
Suspect Piscards Evidehci. When
Motorcycle Officer Schad responded
yesterday to a hurry call to Park and
Burnside streets, where a man was
naM to be taking various loose
articles from automobiles parked in
that vicinity, he found James Casey,
laborer, with a large quantity of
loves and other automobile equip
ment in his possession, he reported.
He started for the police station with
his prisoner and on arriving found
that all the alleged stolen articles
had been thrown away by Casey on
the way. The result was that he had
to retrace his course to obtain the
"evidence." A tentative charge of
vagrancy was placed against Casey.
This will probably later be made
larceny.
Police Are Puzzled. Whether a
Kang of auto thieves were operating
in the vicinity of East Kifty-seconU

police have been unable to determine.
Krickson told Detective Wright that
he came upon three men in an auto
mobile at that place. Two of the
men were shoving the car and a third
was at the wheel. When he ap
proached he said that one of the trio
stuck a revolver in his face and told
him to move on.
