LOCAL APPEAL
IS MADE FOR
"For more than three years Ameri
can philanthropy has been a large
factor in keeping alive Armenian.
Syrian, Greek and other exiles and
refuges of Western Asia. On two for
mer occasions I have apealed to the
American people in behalf of these
homeless sufferers, whom the vicissi
tudes of war and massacre had
brought, to the extremest need. The
response has been most generous, but
now the period of rehabilitation is at
hand. Vastly large sums of money
will he. required t<f restore these once
prosperous, hut now impoverished
refugees to their homes that were re
quired merely to sustain life iu their
desert exile. It is estimated that
about 4,000,000 Armenians, Syrians,
Greek and other sufferers in the near
Far East will require outside help to
sustain them through the winter.
Many of them are now hundreds of
miles from home land. The vast ma
jority are women and children, i lclud
ing 400,000 orphans. Tile American
committee is appealing for a mini
mum of $30.000.000 to be subscribed
January 12, 1919, with which to meet
the needs of these people.
I. therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous conributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months
tl one, who, through no fault of their
own. have been left in a starving,
shelterless condition, and to help re
establish these ancient and sorely op
pressed people in their homes on a
self-supporting besls.

WILL REGULATE
VIOLATIONS OF
LIQUOR LAW
i The <it> council met last ni ’lit. the
1 jo i< ipal l/.i 'it:*' - bung t ran .o ed
i was tin* introduction of an ordinance
by Councilman .MacConnell providing
I for violations of the dry law. in order
i fl at offenders may be brought before
the municipal magistrate and the
tinea go Into the coffers of the city.
The ordinance was read for the
first time and referred to the j
judiciary committee. It is as follows;
That any person who shall within;
1 the corporate limits o: tin* town o! j
Cordova. Ab-ka, in or upon any pas 1
s.cnger coach, boat or ln or upon any i
j other vehicle commonly used for the
| transportation of pa a ngers, or in j
( r about an> depot, platform or wait !
I ir.g room drink any intoxicating
! liquor of any kind, or any person who
j shall be intoxb . ted or dr, uk iu. any
I |»i blie or private road or stro 't, or
jar; pa sengci cogei*. or in any public
pk ce or building or at any public
gathering. >r any jKrsan who shs.ll
he drunk or intoxicated and shall dis
• ,b the peace* of any person, shall
! Iv guilty of misdemeanor. and
i upon conviction thereof, shall be pun
ished by a fine not to exceed one hun
dred dollars or by imprisonment In
tlie town jail not to exceed ninety
days, or bath such tine and impris
onment.
Tlu> Cordova fire dep-.ri.ment,
through Chief Phillips, accepted the
, offer of the city for compensation in
attending fires and drills and thus a I
much mooted question Is finally dls
pi sed to the satisfaction of all p rties
eeneerned. It was also decided to in
stall a shower bath in the hall for the
use of the firemen.
The council as a l«>dy having in
spected the bulkhead on K.. 't itreet
it was decided that there was no im-1
mediate danger and tho repairs could
| go over until spring. Councilman
Adams favored removing I ho old \
| bulkhead and replacing it with a per-j
; mc.hent bridge, which all agreed was
| the only feasible way of handling tills
j improvement.
There is no influenza in Cordova at
i present, but the members of the
council feel that every precaution
should be taken by the residents
against a recurrence of the epi
I domic. It was decided to continue one
guard on tho city dock.
I As there are a number of cabins
throughout the town In bad condition
the council decided to make a tour of
Inspection of these buildings on Sat
urday at 2:30 o'clock.
In order to safeguard coasters rnd
the public it was ordered that the
pcllco scatter aches on C avonue
above Third street and at other
prints In order to lessen the epeed of
sleds.
