Mayor Denison who feels that the imme diate need is for money and that the Red Cross society is in a position to render aid in the most prompt and effective man ner In issuing an? earnest call to 'the citizens to give immediate support in rais ing tlie funds of money which are the first necessity in the stricken regions Mayor 'Denison commented on the celerity with which the Red Cross has been able to set its perfected machinery in operation His statement to die teople of Springfield is as follows: needs our help The need is urgent Suffering can best be re lieved by prompt remittances of money to responsible agents I urge everyone to give The proper distribution of money by the American Red Cross may be' relied upon but it is the wish of the governor of Ohio that money should be sent to the treasurer of the relief fund at Columbus and I will undertake to forward to this treasurer any subscriptions that may be sent to Mr Alden st the Springfield na tional bank or to Lie" work of raising the local fund for the Red Cross work was pushed "with much energy yesterday and the interest of the citizens' at large was from the way in which contributions flowed in from people who came voluntarily to Ralph I Alden treasurer of the Red Cross in Hampden county at the Spring field national bank or to i the counting rooms of the newspapers The contribu tions were amounts varying from $100 to 25 cents a fact showing that ail classes in the city have been moved by the stories of the misery of families robbed of their homes by water wind or fire and suffer ing exposure in the snowstorms and cold which have followed the disturbances early in the" week and of people penned last evening in a telegram which gives a graphic statement of the tragedy which the week' has brought and which shows that 'the newspaper reports of devasta tions by flood tornado and lire have not been exaggerated Springfield is already responding with broad sympathy and eager generosity to the call for help The contributions received in answer to the announcement of the raising of a local Red Cross fund yesterday ran up nearly to $2000 and it is only to be expected that tlie desperate picture given by Gov Cox will stimulate with renewed force March 27 1913 March 27 1912 At ticut feet four inches on the gauge at the Id toll bridge or a rise of two inches an hour since 11 last night when the
