Total to dateeeee $6,870 80 To-nightthe Lake Fund ordinance is to come up before the City Council forits third reading and the vote which isto decide the fate of the measure. The ordinance will go before the Council in a report from the Council Committee on Pub- lic Improvements, the committee having had the measure under consideration for several days past. It is to de hoped that the City Council will see its way clear to passage of the Lake Fund ordinance. The plan of relief for the unemployed workmen of St. Louls proposed by the operation of the Lake Employ- ment Fund is the only practical pian that has been brought forward during the present emergeney. The people of St. Louis who are supporting the Fund by their sub- scriptions want to see the Lake Fund ordin- ance passed. The 5,268 unemployed workmen of st. Louis who have registered at the Post- DISPATCH Office their applications for work on the proposed lake in Forest Park want to see the Lake Fund ordinance passed. There is not the slightest doubt now about the successful practical operation of the Lake Employment Fund, All that is needed is the consent of the city, by the passage of the Lake Fund ordinance, for the proposed work to begin in Forest Park. 10-day the Lake Employment Fund stands assured of reaching a financial magnitude far surpassing: all expectations at its opening. It stands assured of a popular support which would carry iton- w ard to a success far beyond the brightest hopes entertained at the outset. The Fund plan has been indorsed by the clergy of St. Louis in every way possible to that thoughtful and influential class. From the pulpit, from the delib- erations of their respective denomina- tional meetings, by ‘letters to the Posr- DISPATCH, by their personal subscriptions to the Lake Employment Fund, affd in evéry other way possibile, the local clergy have expressed thelr approval of this. plan for the relief of the unemployed men of this ality. The congregations have been urged to support the fund and all the influence exerted by the clergy as a body bas been put forth in behalf of the Lake Employment Fund since ts frst estab- lishment. The business element of St. Louls has come to the support ofthe fund by subscriptions so generous as to mark beyond all question the approval of this important element of the community, The business men of the city stand rea iy to do much more than they have already done, liberal as their help has been so far. Une of the wealthiest men in St. Louls—a miilionnaire—has expressed the deepest interest in the proposed work and has Stated that his warmest sup- port would be extended, fnancially and otherwise, the moment Ee was thoroughly assured of the completeness ofthe engineering plans for the work of the water supply and of the precautions to insure the sanitary conditions of the proposed lake. The necessary assurances on those points have since been given by President Mc- Math of the Board of Public Improve- ments and Water Commissioner Holman. Mr. Adolphus Busch, President of the An- heuser-Busch Brewing Association, stands ready to give further assistance to the pro- posed work. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association originally subscribed 3100 to the Lake Employment Fund. When Mr. Busch learned the full details of the proposed work and its practical nature throughout. he re- quested that this subscription be changed to his personal subscription, sothat his com- pany could come to the support of the Fund with a larger contribution. In addition to the large fund already ratsed in two weeks’ time, there is still more money assured in the near future, which will carry the Fund rapidly for- ward to mes sure goal as the largest popular subscription ever raised in st. Louis. The Fire Department has pleaged itself to a subscription of one day’s pay from every man in the department. This generous subscription will alone reach the sum of $1,200. The Police Department fot” St. Louis is now arranging fora subsertption of from 81 to $2 per man from the entire force, making its total subscription amount to from $1,000 to $27,000. The 600 members of Moolah Temple, nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the powerful Masonic organization, have arranged for a grand’ Mendelssohn Quintette Club concert for the benefit of the Fand, to be given at the Ger- mania Theater on the evening of Jan. 30, from which it is expected that at least $1,000 will be realized. Rev. Dr. n. C. Cave win lecture on he Religion ot Humanity’’ for the benent of the Fund in Exposition Entertainment Hall on the evening of Feb. 1. A grand ‘‘progressive euchre party“ has been arranged for the Fund benefit, to take place at Howard's Hall, Thirtieth and Olive streets, on the evening of Jan. 80. The Rock Springs Self-Culture Club and the South Side Self-Culture Clab are arranging entertainments for the benegt of the Lake Employment Fund. Henry George has been favitea by the Single Tax Olud to lecture in St. Louis for the funda benefit. . Other benefits are under way, Getails of which will be given later The feasibility of the Proposed work in Forest Park ts assured beyond all question. The relief of the unemployed workmen of. St. Louis is assured beyond all question if au- thority forthe Forest Park lake work be granted. The Lake Employment Fund stands splen- didly equipped to carry out its proposed plan of relief of the unemployed and the beautify- ing of Forest Park. The carrying-out of that plan now depends altogether on the action of the City Council. The Lake Fund ordinance must be passed be- fore work can be begun on the Forest Park Lake. The carefully-drawn ordinance in the pre- paring of which every interest concerned, including that of the city, was most earnestly considered and protected, and which has received the ap- proval of the best lawyers in St. Louis, is now before the Council for that body’s action. No Engineering Objections. The Council Committe on Public Improve- ments met at 4°20 p. m. yesterday to consider the Lake Employment bil, Messrs. Ferris, Arnstein and Keyes present. President McMath submitted a tracing of the park and the proposed lake. Water Commissioner Holman was asked about supplying the lake with wate He said at present it could be filled | from the smaller lake now in the ark; which has a 6-inch supply pipe. This would take several days but would answer present emer- gencies. The Waterworks could spare 1,000,000 gal- lons per day except in the event of a drought, when the supply would , to ve cut off now ana This'would only be in the month of He could not say for how many days. It would depend efitirely on the kind of summer we had. Last summer there would have been no trouble at all. The Water Department has already con- templated the laying of a large main along Union avenue from Page avenue, which 16 also to be extended into the park. To make the extension within the next three months would require about 3,000 feet of pipe, which would cost 51,0 per foot tolay. Hethought there would be no dim. culty in — the water in the lake fresh. Several other questions were asked about supply, evaporation, etc. The evaporation in this iatitude is about thirty-six inches a year. The supply of 1,000,000 gallons per day awe be five times more than the evapora- t The committee then went into’ executive session. ä ADD 850 TO THE FUND. KUPFERLE BROS. MANUFACTURING Co..

Behind closed doors the Council Committee on Public Improvements yesterday consid- ered the Forest Park Lake Improvement bill and adjourned to moet again this after- noon. 93 Tne bill under consideration was the fol- lowing, passed unanimously by the House of Delegates: Bett ordained by. the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louis as follows: SECTION 1. Permission and authority are hereby grayted to Samuel J. Niccolls, Henry C. Haarstick and Thomas, O’Kelliy to con- struct or extend a Jake in Forest Park at ren point and e to such plan as may be approved 7 Mayor, President of these Board of Pablic Imp mend and the Park Commissioner of the @ity of St. yay to cost not less than $25,000, the w be begun within twenty days aftet the . ot this ordinance, to be prosecuted under à super - intendent to be appointed by the Board of Public Improvements, to de Completed with- in six. months from the date of approval hereof: Provided, hawever, that when said lake is completed and the Certificate. ‘herein required is filed with the Register, the same shall become the a lute pro erty of the city of St. Louis, free from ali right, sses- sion or control of sad Samuel J. Niccolis, 1 C. eggs and eee py O’ Reilly. Sec. 2. n the g ofa certificate by the 3 resident the Board of Public Improvements and Pa Commissione? with the Cit} Register that $25,000 have been ex- pended by said Samuel J. Niccolls, Henry C. Haarstick and Thomas O'Reilly in the con- struction of said take, the obligation of the Lindell Raliway Co., as set forth and defined in section five (5) of ordinance number fifteen thousand, four hundred and forty-five (15, 445), shall be considered fully performed and dis- charged, and saiu company shall be released from all further lability thereunder. Sec. 8. The Superintendent in charge of the prosecution of tue work, as contemplated in sec. one (1) nase f, shall issue and deliver a warrant, pa e, By its terms, to bearer, to each laborer — the daily labor done by him; and the warrant, so issued, when paid dy the said Samuel J. Niccolls, Henry C. Haarstick and Thomas O'Reilly, shall, for the purposes of this ordinance, be conclusive evidence of the amount of money expended for ae labor. The fact that there are so many persons out ofemploymentinthe city of st. Louis, Who will be given employment in the prosecution of said work, creates an emergency, and this ordinance shall, therefore, take Sher from and after date of ap oval thereof. When tis plan of relieving the unusual distress of the Winter was decided upon it was presented to Robert E. McMath, Presi- dent of the Board of Publ n for his consideration as ineer and as the city’s representative en 10 om tiie im- portant work of the undertaking would fall. He pronounced it feasibie from an engt heering standpoint and commemdabie from a bumanitarian one. The question of raising t rund, necessa- rily a large one, was gert er. Chas. Turner of the Suburbaa@ rallwax, oe Mafhtt of the Missouri and Vhitaxer of she — were Called on many times. It should make a large Boost on, cleus of the fund. Financtal reasons and other un- dertakings made ur. ner withdraw. Mr. Mafmfitt acted with Mre@urner. They thought they saw other possibilities more to their in- terest. Mr. Edwards Whitaker was then waited on with a proposition that his contribution be made as a credit on the obiigation of his compary tothe city; Under an ordinance giving the Lindell tne right to enter the park it was obligated to pay into the City Treasury $25,000 to be expended in makinga lake. U to the time it had not been call on and owing to financial strin- gency would ordinarily resist as - far. as possibile being called upon now. However, on considering the proposition the Lindell company decidea to raise and con- tribute $20,000 now if released from the obligation of $25,000 at some future time, Even if the ordinance were passed call 8 for its expenditure of $25,000, it would ta weeks to pass it and more than a month to begin the work under the slow pro- visions of advertised 1 ale n by charter. The needed relief from the con- gestion Would be unnecessarily delayed. To overcome this an or@inatice was drawn up by City Counselor W. C. Marshall Making the money immediately available for dis- bursement by the Fund Committee on the certification of the Superintendent of the Board of Public Improvements. Not until the city officers certify tothe City Register that $25,000 in ‘money has been expended as provided is the Lin- dell company released from its obligation. The ordinance drawn by Mr. Marshall was accepted by the counsel for the Lindell as legal and covering every phase ofthe case. Several attempts to prove the illegality of the ordinance have failed. The ordigance went the Council and to its Com tee on Pudliic Improvements. This comnfittee threw the first obstateie in the way of the plan dy its fallure to meet. Mr. Franklin Ferris, as_tbe chairman, an- nounced the objection hat the plan to give work to the unemployed in the park savored of paternalism and might make a bad 9 Mr. Ferris s waited on bya member of the editorial staff of the Post- DISPATCH with a request that he putin writing all possibie’ objectians to the Dill as it now stands, so that by the next meeting they might be answered by the Citizens’ Committ This Mr. Ferris declined to do on thé ground that asa Council Committeeman it was his privilege to be convinced. The Citizens’ Committee forwarded to the Council Committee a statement of the plans an purposes of the under- taking which would be made possible by the passage of the ordinance. At the next meeting Mr. Ferris announced bis only objection tothe passage of the bili as it is now bfeore the committee, as follows: »The only question that is in my mind now, the only serious question, is as to getting something of a definite character so we will know When we pass this ord- nance and when@he work is begun just where the city stands and just what the city is going to get.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. out in how - The Sugar Fight Continued—Hawaii in the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—At the open- ing of the session of the House this morning, on motion of Mr. Wise, the President's veto of the New York and New Jersey bridge bill was referred to the Committee on Inter-State and Foreign Commerce. A few minutes later when the House went into*committee of the whole to resume the consideration of the tariff bill, Mr. Oates of Alabama called attention to the pecaliar complication that had aris- en, Owing to the failure of the committee yesterday to complete the consideration of the sugar schedule. It came over as unfin- ished business, while by special arrangement made last Saturday, to-day was set aside for the consideration of the coal and iron ore schedule. Some discussion followed as to the par Hamentary status, and it was finally deciaed by unanimous consent to go ahead with the vote onthe sugar schedule, and after that was disposed of to take up coal and iron. The pending question was tite Robertson amendment imposing a duty on raw sugar and increasing the duty on refined sugar, as amended dy Mr. Warner, placing both raw and refined sugar on the free list. The eonfusion entailed dy these two tncon- ruous amendments had first to be —— ned out. Mr. Dingler claimed that the Warner amendment was utterly inconsistent with the Robertson amendment and should. de considered asa substitate. Mr. Robertson took issue with him, main- tatnin that the effect of Mr. Warner’s amendment simp! was to place refined sugar on the free list, leaving so much of his amendment as imposed a duty upon sugar below 16 Huten standard un- affected, Finally a vote was taken on the Warner amendment as a substitute—to sugar and refined sugar onthe free list—and it was carried by a vote of 161 to 38.

The detectives came out unharmed, One robberis dead, another wounded’ and the third captured. The two were the last ot the gang of seven des peradoes who held up the Pacific Express, cleaned out the express car and relieved the passengers at Seminole. The two detectives were from Thiel’s Agency and they were accompan ted by Post- Office Inspector Hawk. They have been on the trail of the bandits for two weeks. They left here a few days ago and struck the trail ot the men some miles south. De- tails are meager, buta dispatch received from Inspector Hawk says a bloody duel ensued which resulted ia the killing of Dru amite Jack,“ the leader of this gang, and the wounding of one of his companfons.. The other sur- rendered when all hope of escape was gone. Hawk says they will at once for this place with their prisoners bound for Fort Smith. Ot the seven men implicated in the daring and successful robbery at Seminole, all are now behind the bars except the leader, *‘Dy- namite Jack, who is dead, The men made a big haulas they looted the express car and went through the passen- gers. The Thiel agency was put on the case and brought in two of the robbers named Straddler and Smith, a few days after the raid. One of these was used to turu up the rest of the gang. Two weeks ago two of their com- panions were caught near here but the leader ‘‘Dynamite Jack’’ and two com- panions narrowly escaped. These are the men the detectives ran down to-day.
