It is the object of the American -National Red Cross, under its new charter, and under supervision of the -National Government, to demonstrate the existence of humanitarian as -well as commercial interests in the people of the United States, and the -Central Committee appeals to them not only to use their personal -influence to enlarge the membership of the branches already formed, but -to assist the Committee in organizing branches in States and Territories -where none now exist. - -The Committee would be pleased to receive communications referring to -more complete organization from those interested in the work of the -Corporation, and especially from persons in the States and Territories -where branch societies have not yet been formed. - -The enclosed report is the official report of the Corporation to -Congress as required by the charter, and the expense of printing by the -Government Printing Office the copies issued with this Bulletin is borne -by the American National Red Cross. - - W.

C., January 1, 1906_. - -SIR: In accordance with the act of Congress entitled “An act to -incorporate the American National Red Cross,” approved January 5, 1905, -I have the honor to make the following report of the proceedings of the -American National Red Cross for the part of the year 1905 during which -the corporation has been in existence. - -By virtue of the act above referred to the American National Red Cross -was incorporated, succeeding to all the rights and property which had -been hitherto held and to all the duties which had been hitherto -performed by the American National Red Cross as a corporation duly -incorporated by act of Congress, June 6, 1900, which act was repealed -and the organization created thereby dissolved. - -The President of the United States appointed William K. Van Reypen -chairman of the central committee, and Francis B. Loomis, Charles Hallam -Keep, George B. Davis, Louis A. Pradt, John C. Boyd, Mabel T. Boardman, -Cleveland H. Dodge, Samuel Mather, H. Kirke Porter, John Sharp Williams, -and Frederick H. Gillett members. - -The first meeting of the board of incorporators was held in the -diplomatic room of the Department of State on February 8, 1905, and the -following-named officers of the corporation were elected: President of -the board of incorporators, William H. Taft; treasurer, Charles Hallam -Keep; counselor, Louis A. Pradt; secretary, Charles L. Magee. As members -of the central committee, Redfield Proctor, William Alden Smith, Walter -Wyman, James R. Garfield, Hilary A. Herbert, and George H. Shields. - -The treasurer subsequently appointed as assistant treasurer Henry H. -Flather, assistant cashier of the Riggs National Bank. - -The central committee elected as an executive committee Francis B. -Loomis, George B. Davis, Louis A. Pradt, John C. Boyd, Hilary A. -Herbert, James R. Garfield, and Miss Mabel T. Boardman. - -This committee immediately commenced the work of organizing State and -Territorial branch societies, as directed by section 5 of the charter, -and adopted regulations for their organization and government. - -It was considered advisable to have all members of the corporation -affiliated with the branch societies in the States where they reside, in -order that they might have a local as well as a general interest in Red -Cross work, and that State organizations could take immediate charge of -any work in their States, under the authority of the central committee, -which committee would take control in case the work assumed proportions -beyond the resources of the State branch. - -By personal request and correspondence the committee endeavored to -obtain the names of representative men and women in the various States -and Territories who would be interested in the work of organization, -and, after obtaining them, addressed to them requests to act as -organizers of branch societies. The committee has been gratified to note -the general interest manifested in the work, although in some of the -States a sufficient number of affirmative responses were not received to -warrant the commencement of the organization. Requests to others have -been sent and the committee is proceeding with its work with all -possible expedition. It is earnestly desired that members of the board -of incorporators from the States and Territories in which branch -societies have not yet been organized will, as soon as practicable, send -to the central committee the names and addresses of representative men -and women in their States or Territories who they think would be -interested in the organization of branch societies. - -During the past year branch societies have been organized in the -District of Columbia, the Philippine Islands, and the following-named -States: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, -Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, -South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -The data contained in the following table was obtained from reports -recently received from the various State branches, and shows -approximately the present membership of the American National Red Cross: - - ──────────────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬──────── - │ │ │ Total │ │ - Location of │ Life │ Annual │ member │Doctors │ Nurses - branch. │members.│members.│ ship. │enrolled.│enrolled. - ──────────────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┬┴─────── - California │ 10│ 120│ 130│ │ - Connecticut │ 47│ 279│ 326│ 1│ - Delaware │ │ 130│ 130│ │ - District of │ 59│ 306│ 365│ 1│ 18 - Columbia │ │ │ │ │ - Georgia │ 1│ 100│ 101│ │ - Illinois │ 16│ 136│ 152│ │ - Indiana │ 2│ 77│ 79│ │ - Maine │ 1│ 100│ 101│ │ - Maryland │ 8│ 193│ 201│ │ - Massachusetts │ 13│ 317│ 330│ │ - Michigan │ 3│ 100│ 103│ │ - New York │ 159│ 508│ 667│ │ 11 - Ohio │ 24│ 230│ 254│ │ - Philippine Islands│ │ │ │ │ - Rhode Island │ 86│ 92│ 178│ 28│ 21 - South Carolina │ │ 170│ 170│ │ - Vermont │ │ 50│ 50│ │ - Wyoming │ │ │ │ │ - ──────────────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼────────┼──────── - Total │ 429│ 2,908│ 3,337│ 30│ 50 - ──────────────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴──────── - -NOTE.—No reports of membership have been received from the Philippine or -Wyoming branch societies. - - -A roster of the officers of the various branch societies follows: - - _California_ (_San Francisco_).—President, Judge W.

The treasurer received -the sum of $291.89 and a notice of indebtedness of $1,250, contracted to -pay a claim of Francis Atwater for printing and postage for the old -corporation. This indebtedness has since been paid from the proceeds of -the sale of lots 14, 15, 16, and 17, block 25, Kalorama Heights. These -lots were the property of the American National Red Cross, and were sold -on January 11, 1904, by the then president of the American National Red -Cross, to Cogan Bros. & Forschner for the sum of $16,500. Monthly -payments of the purchase money were to be made according to the quantity -of stone removed from the property, with a minimum monthly payment of -$200. Five thousand and seventy-five dollars had been paid before -transfer to the present corporation. Four thousand three hundred and -twelve dollars has since been paid, leaving a balance due of $7,113. - -The trusteeship of the property that was formerly held by Charles A. -Baker and S. W. Briggs has been transferred and is now held by Charles -Hallam Keep and James C. McReynolds. - -The corporation has now no outstanding debts, but a suit has been -brought against it by Hugh Ross in the superior court of Santa Barbara, -Cal., for the sum of $990 for alleged services rendered and material -supplied the old corporation at Manila in 1900. The suit is being -defended by the counselor of the corporation. - -A tender of service was made to the Surgeon-General of the Public Health -and Marine-Hospital Service during the late epidemic of yellow fever in -Louisiana, and the committee was informed that the work was well in hand -and there was no immediate necessity for additional aid, but if at any -time assistance was needed the committee would be notified. The work was -so effectually done by the Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service -that aid from the Red Cross was never required. - -In response to a request for aid from the Philippine branch of the Red -Cross for the sufferers from a typhoon, a contribution of $500 was made -by cable transfer from the emergency fund of the corporation. - -All money received from life membership dues is deposited to the credit -of the endowment fund, the interest alone of which can be used, if -necessary, in emergency work. All of the officers of the corporation, -except the secretary and assistant treasurer, render gratuitous service. -The secretary receives $100 a month and the assistant treasurer $250 a -year. The office rent is $20 a month. These, with the necessary outlay -for stationery, printing, and postage, comprise the whole of the current -expenses of the corporation. - -At the first annual meeting of the corporation, held at Washington, -December 5, 1905, the following officers were elected: - - President, Hon. William H. Taft. - Treasurer, Hon. Charles Hallam Keep. - Counselor, Hon. James C. McReynolds. - Secretary, Charles L.
