Donations should be sent to V.

urer of the Associated Charities,
at Ladd & Tilton Bank.
One-third of the fund necessary to
maintain the relief work of the Asso
ciated Charities throughout the pres
ent Summer has been donated by the
generous people of Portland in the
four weeks during which the cam
paign has been on.
The total reported from the Charities
yesterday was $1724, and the amount
that i.s to be raised is 15000.
In view of the difficult conditions of
the past year, the response that the
people of Portland have made is re
carded as remarkable, and the- returns
on the campaign thus far have been
most encouraging. While the returns
were very slow during the week of the
Hose Festival, there is an improvement
in intercut that gives promise of large
gifts in the remaining weeks of the
campaign.
Theodore B. Wilcox has contributed
$100 to the maintenance fund, this be
ing the third gift of 100 or more that
has been sent in since the campaign
began.
While the large donors are giving
this important assistance, there is also
a steady flow of contributions ranging
from Jl to tlO. .
While the contributions keep coming
In steadily, there is a corresponding
pressure of demand from the poor of
the city who are in need of relief.
The cases the Charities deals with are
principally those of widows with chil
dren to support, men of family who
are suffering from misfortune, or
women who have been deserted and
are unable to care for themselves,
..-Examples of the many cases that
were handled through the Charities
yesterday:
1. Man more than 70 years old. crip
pled and unable to work; has wife and
thre-e children; 16-year-old boy's earn

CITV ATTORNEY RILES FUSD FOR

X Lrsal Obataclea Are Seen to Pre

There are no legal obstacles to pre
vent the City Council from creating a
police pension fund and exacting from
each policeman a monthly fee amount
ing: to IVi per cent of hla aalary, ac
cording? to a written opinion prepared
for the council yesterday by City At.
torney LaRoche.
When the police pension was consid
ered by the Council last week there
was a question raised regrardinsr the

into the fund. Mr. LaRoche says the
courts have ruled that such a proced
ure would be entirely legal-
."The legral effect of the proposed or
dinance," reads City Attorney La
Roche's opinion, "is to reduce .the sal
aries of police officers for the purposes
named to the extent of per cent;
and that amount paid into the fund is
considered as having .been paid into
said fund by the City of Portland and
not as voluntary contributions of po
lice officers."

sation. In her talk she said:
"People in the East are bound by con
servatism and tradition; New York can
amend her constitution only once in 20
years. Progress has always gone west
ward, but it is now our duty to bring
the East up to Western, standards.
When a woman of New York or New
Jersey expresses a public opinion she
is regarded as a 'militant.' We must
make sure that the men who represent
us in Congress are men who will put
their shoulder to the wheel and work
for the enfranchisement of women."
