Titanic Relief Fund Disbursement Details Revealed
The Titanic relief fund of over 130000 dollars distributed by the Red Cross Emergency Relief Committee chaired by Robert W. de Forest is advancing, with more than 350 individuals aided. About 6900 dollars set aside for widows and families, while 18275 dollars aid property losses. The committee coordinates with Woman’s Relief and other funds to avoid duplication, noting wide needs among survivors, widows, and relatives of those who perished, including cases abroad. The Survey reports a dramatic tale from Chester England about Daniel Burke, a disputed survivor tale questioned by distribution officials.
