THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, WUl 5 RELIEF STATIONT BUSY PLAGE T. P. Redmond Gives Way Under Diet of Cold Corned Beef. NEIGHBORS COME TO THE FORE One Woman Serves the Workxrs with Oyster Stews, Another ,Pro t Tldea SandTrlchrs and a Wnrra Pies. With Manager T. P. Redmond of relief station No. 4 already temporarily knocked out by hard, long hours of work and cold cxub, relief came to the reliever at that station when Mrs, John Dally, living Just north of tin relief station, began making oyster stews and Inviting the re lief workers In at noon. In platoons of sixes they drilled up the steps of her front porch, filed around the table In perfect order and fell too. It was about the first hot meal any of them had ex perienced since they began the relief work. Some kind follow from across the street had been bringing In ooffee, but aside from that this herolo crowd at the busiest station In the field tolled faith fully on. meanwhile snatching bites of cold corned beef and crackers to keep fllsh and bones In working order that they might be constantly on the Job to dish out boxes of relief supplies to those Who called In an Incessant stream. T. Pt, Redmond has been unable to be at the post for a day now, and his In disposition Is attributed to the strain of day and night work and cold meals of corned beef, always corned beef. No one complained. No one even took time to remark how nice It would be to run home and get a square meal. Still It never rains but It pours, for hardly had the dozen workers been well filled with tho rich, hot oyster stew at noon, than In walked Mrs. Wright, who lived a halt block away, carrying a half dozen hot plea and two crooks of sandwiches. The coffee came too, so there was no dearth of etables. Clothes for Fat People. Clothes for fat people, for real fat peo ple, are In great demand at this station. "Why?" Well, there is no telling. It Just simply happens that half the peopta who have applied for clothing .it this station are large, very large, obese. "Oh, these No. 44 women," cried one of the women working at the station after she had Just finished furnishing coats and skirts to throe of them. She started to tell about a fat bachelor who called for a suit of underwear, how the house was searched high and low for union suit that would fit him. She had Juit come to the point of describing how pleased he looked and how he laughed when vhe was fitted out, but someone told her of tho oyster stew waiting for her down the hill and she swung Into tho ranks of the little platoon anl marched to the oysters.

Stritzinger Fires Two Working at the Auditorium Even as being a stranger In a city with no vislblo means of support makes one a hobo, so getting drunk without any visible means of buying the Juloe makes Captain Strltxtnger suspicious, so suspicious that he fired one of the as sistant cooks at the relief kitchen at the Auditorium when he came In pickled. Captain Strltxlnger knew that the fellow had no money when he took the Job. He knew that he had not yet been paid for his service. Consequently when he came In under the Influence of booze the captain decided he was a good fellow to do without So the kitchen has done without him since. Also when a colored helper at tho Au dltorluth was found upstairs tossing thoes and other good articles of cloth ing down Into the alley with a view to slipping around afterward and picking them up he was nabbed by the collar and hustled to the city Jail. The Au ditorium force knew the man only by the name of Henry. Well, Henry should have been on the payroll, but when last Sat urday night came Henry found he was not on the payroll. Henry knew this and he knew that the matter would be eventually straightened out. But he took no chances. He slipped upstairs and began to heave shoes overboard. "Those are the kind of things ws havo tried to guard against from the first," said Captain Rtritxlnger, "and we decided to nip them In the bud right from the start. Aside from those two cases, however, we have had no cases of Improper or Irregular work reported to us here."
