Members of Relief Committee Tiring Under the Strain With member's of the citizens' relief committee beginning to show pronounced signs of physical exhaustion, tho com mittee is for the first time beginning to realize that all the members have been going too fast a pace In the day and night relief work, and. that they must begin to take their rest more systematically. Yesterday Prank Puray -was all but out of the ring:, as the pugilists say. F. I. Elllck, who for two weeks has been mov ing almost In double time, began to show signs of physical distress. Others lay down for an hour after dinner to Bnatch a brief rest before coming back to the city hall for the night sessions and found thoy could scarcely be wakened.' when the time came. - The fact Is the committee has been on the go for sixteen hours and upwards of every wenty-four hours" of the days since the tornado struck two weeks ago. Their labor Is trying. It is a nervous unrest under which they work, to say nbthlng of great physical exertion in running about from place to place, from morning until night. Several members remarked today that it would be absqlutely necessary for most of the committeemen to take time to get more rest before they could go ahead with the work with the requisite vigor. Still a meeting of the general com mittee Is scheduled for tonight and all Intend to be there. After each meeting they expect to begin to get thetr rest, but each meeting results In the plans for other meetings with more and more work to do, and each, time the members ap pear faithfully.

Freight Agent Harrington, Trainmaster Johnsoni Roadmoster Emerson, Master Mechanlo Morrison and Superintendent of Buildings Hodengren of tho Burlington mil road were In charge of tho large force of Burlington employes working on the clean-up work. Jack O'Connor, Thomas Shaylor and Billy O'Brien wore in clmxge of a large force of men from tho Morris & Co, packing houth of South Omaha. On account of Saturday being a light killing day at tho packing houses it was a con venient day for the packers to send large gangs of men from the killing floors and they are a husky lot of men when It comes to Juggling lumber, At many places the ownors of the wreckod homes stood about in the street watching the last remnants of thetr shat tered homes torn apart and piled In heaps. Some who wero injured in the storm have Just come out of the hos pital limped about over the ruins on crutches watching the work in the hope of piokthg out of the wreckage n few keepsakes, a few highly valued book, or, perhaps, an Insurance policy that has hever been found since the storm. Jay Burns gave 1,000 pies, which were distributed from tho Lake school by the teachers. The school boys declare the pies made -as big -a hit with the men as with them. "Plea all vanished, Just like that." said a teacher with a wave of the hand. ' Frank Bandle, register of. deeds, used a shovel as big as a barrel, and although he was foreman ot ono of the gangs, he worked harder than any of his men. Mrs. Barbara Lawson, 2213 North Twenty-fourth street, had. men repairing her house all day. The house, a small one, stood In the path of the tornado, but it was not completely wrecked. Street Commissioner Al Kugel and Dean Noyes, head of the city street repair work, inspected the. streets after the debris had been picked up. They eald their would be need of numerous repairs. Gould Dletz, whose new automobile has been whirring day and night since the storm struck, was hailed as a hero by thirty-five workmen at Thlrty-flth and Cuming streets, who had been overlooked by the grub wagon. Diets broke all the known speed laws getting a load ot food out to these men. Boys were instructed to exercise care in wadding through the debris and so well were the Instructions obeyed that no injuries were reported. OMAHA PAUSES TO LOOK BACK - F0ETNIGHT AGO (Continued from Page One.) clothing to between 400 and 600 families per day. Gradually the need of relief in the way ot immediate necessities of life crow less and. less. The relief sta tions are still maintained, and some of them are still extremely, busy places, although some of them are having less and less cases to look after. The restoration committee was or ganized by the relief committee and the commercial club. The purpose of the restoration committee Is to raise a fund to be loaned at a low rate of Interest or nb Interest at all, to those who must have the money advanced with whloh to r' build their homes, A bill ha been Intro. ductd lathe state legislature asking sir- mission for Douglas county to vote bonds In the sum ot Jl.000,000 with which to make such loans. In, the moantlme tho relief committee Is piping sjome of tho extreme cases with sal donations with which to make the necessary repairs on partially destroyed houses. These dona tions are being made only In cases where the afflicted person, on account of old age or infirmity, has no resources with which to make tho necessary repairs. A committee was appointed by Chair man C. B. Yost of the restoration com mittee to go to Chicago, there to oontSr with leading representatives of tho rail roads that enter Omaha, as well an with heads of the large packing concerns that have establishments In Omaha and th stock yards company there. The Idon Is to secure subscriptions from these con cerns for thp restoration work. The com mittee returned from Chicago welt pleased with the success attained, but will not make a formal report until Tuesday noon at the Commorclal club. Yesterday and today are tho clean-up days for Omaha. The relief committee and the mayor proolalmed them volun teer clean-up days, and the success was all that was expected. Practically 5,000 men entered the cleaning up work yester day morning hinder twenty-two general managers or foremen. Tho ruined sec tion was divided Into districts. IiOiKi CixtaloBued. A committee appointed by the relief committee made a careful survey of alj the ruined and partly destroyed homes. They obtained and catalogued informa tion with regard to the Incumbrances against each and every place. Tho in formation is proving Invaluable in the work of advising persons with regard to their best course In the matter of restora tion. A legal aid committee has also been organlxed to which a number of tho leading attorneys and law firms have given their free support. Tho committee maintains headquarters in the council chamber of the city hall, where a man Is kept on the desk constantly. Persons who are confronted with a complicated situa tion growing out of tho loss of their property may have free legal advice at this place. The desk man refers the cases to the various attorneys who have of fered their services and who are emi nently fitted to handle the particular case that may come up. II.
