MRS. LAKE ON TEMPERANCE
Her Hobby Is to Get the
Women Interested in the
Work.

Mrs. Lake, of st. Louis, the vice
president of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Society of America, is spend
ing some days in ST. Paul. This
evening at o'clock she will lecture
at the capitol. When a representa-
tive of the GLOBE called upon her
yesterday her big blue eyes flashed
forth delight, for she is always very
much at home with newspaper peO-
pie. She is a woman of singular in
telligence, and her perfect articula-
ton gives special weight to all her
utterances. Her great subject is
total abstinence. When asked what
precisely her position is in the tenn
perance question, she said:
L am not in favor of prohibition.
AS long as we have not backbone
enough to enforce present laws. we
have no right to institute more
falsehoods. The public sentiment
has not been educated as to the en-
forcement of prohibition. The only
proper prohibition is that which
would stop the manufacture of in
toxicating liquor. The few religious
communities of my own church who
manufacture beer and chartreuse
should be stopped. When | speak of
prohibition [ refer merely to nv own
country, and not to Italy or other
lands where people cultivate the
grape without injuring humanity.
THE real remedy under existing cir
cumstances is restricted laws and their
enforcement; the persistent education
of the people, particularly in their
homes. My only hobby in the tenn
perance movement is to get hold of
the women. l wish the world had the
same confidence in motherhood and
Womanhood that [ have. l would
urge all women to join the temper
ance movement. The regeneration of
the world depends largely on woman.
Her power is marvellous. If the best
women would exercise this influence
just as those who are not the best ex-
ercise theirs, the world would be per-
feet"
Mrs. Lake is not a woman of one
idea. She interests herself in depart
ments of reform. other than that of
temperance. In ST. Louis she belongs
to a society called the Queens Daugh-
tiers, whose chief work is to look after
the children

The Story ms Told by a Companion
The Funeral Today.
The fureral of Rohy S. Priddy, who was
drowned Sunday afternoon in the Potomac
above Georgetown, as stated in yesterdays
Star. took place this afternoon from his
late residence, No. H street northwest.
There was a large attendance. Among the
many floral designs was a handsome
tribute from his FIVE companions of last
Sunday. The interment was at Glenwood.
One Of the boys who were with Priddy
Sunday gave to The Star the following
statement Of the circumstances attending
the drowning:
In company with five boy friends. Chas.
o. Paxton. Frank s. Howell, George w.
Cooke. George T. Mahon and Clarence s.
Howell, he walked up on the Virginia side
of the river. and when College Rock was
reached, all Of the others went in bathing.
Priddy, being unable to swim, declined at
first to go in, but, after watching his COM
paniDns for some time, he decided to join
them. He was advised not to go in from
the rock, because of the great depth Of the
water at that point, but he requested that
one of the boys who could swim should
take him out Resting upon the shoulders
of Frank Howell and George Mahon. he
ventured to swim out a short distance.
In endeavoring to turn, Priddy swallowed
some water, and was strangled. Losing
his hold upon Mahon, he caught Howell
about the waist in such a manner as to
pinion his arms to his sides.
1.-The two boys sank together, and upon
rising Priddy released his hold on Howell
and caught Mahon. They sank twice, and
when Mahon rose for the second time
Priddy was missing. In the meantime the
other boys had plunged in to rescue their
companions, but their efforts were useless.
At no time did any one of them lose his
presence of mind and the gallant efforts
of all, as well as of stranger, who
plunged in with all his clothes on, could
not cope with the strong current and the
great depth OF the water"
Roby Priddy was well known in this city.
and his untimely death was great shock
to his mary friends. The boys who were
with him when the sad event occurred are
deeply distressed at the fate of their COM
panion.

COSTLY THE CONTRACTOR
Fines Continue to Pile Up on the Man Who
Moves the Garbage.
inspectors Find Many Instances OF
Neglect and Poor Service All
Through the City.

It cost the garbage contractor exactly
500 in fines for his poor service yesterday.
There is no disposition on the part OF the
authorities to let up. When the reports OF
the inspectors indicate gross neglect on the
part of the contractor the latter Is prompt
ly fired Up to date fines to the amount OF
$413 have been imposed. This. however, Is
or ly for the month of August During July
there were 231 complaints, but the con-
tractor was only fined for three of them.
and the fines only aggregated $40. The au-
thorities did not impose fines the first
month, for the reason that they were will
ing that the contractor should have time to
inaugurate the daily service. A month
they considered a good lcEg time, and when
the lSt of August rolled around Instructions
reports upon all complaints. Then the fin
ing commenced.
Singular Failure to Explain Neglect.
Each complaint wes carefully looked into.
ard if it was established beyond a doubt
tfat the contractor was at fault he was
promptly fined, and notified in writing Of
the action and requested to appear and ex-
plain the cause Of neglect, If he could do
so. and If the reason was satisfactory the
fine would be remitted. Strange to say, in
rot single instance has the contractor
taken advantage of this sffer, and every
fine that has been inflicted stands. single

cient to show the poor work that the con-
tractor is doing. complaint was made
from house No. 800 l. street northwest that
the garbage had not been collected for a
week.
An inspector was sent to investigate last
Friday. He found the facts as represented
and SO reported to the health officer. The
garbage receptacle was of proper design,
and easily accessible. being located under
the contractor notified. This was on Fri
day. Yesterday the garbage was removed,
after another fine had been imposed. The
inspector who called at 5J New York
avenue reported that the whole square was
shamefully neglected. This cost the con-
tractor just s. more.
Garbage Thrown In the River
Nor Is this all. Complaint was made that
he was negligent in loading the scows at
the foot of 26th street. An Inspection
showed that last week one scow was sunk
opposite the wharf from being overloaded,
and that a large quantity of garbage was
thrown into the river. So bad in fact were
the conditions there that 1t was found

keep sharp lookout that no garbage is

NO CASE AGAINST WALLER.
Statement of u Friend COgnizant of
His Acts.

His Acts.
LONDON, August 2O.-Fresh interest Is
added to the case Of ex-United States Con-
sui John L. Waller, at Tamatave, NADIA
gascar, by the presence here of Mr.. Ethel
bert Woodford, who assisted Mrs. Waller
and childlen out of Madagascar after her
husband lad been sentenced to imprison-
ment for twenty years fy a court-martial
for alleged Illegal communication with the
Hovas, against whom the French are wag-
ing war.
Mr.. Woodford went to Madagascar last
February on business with the Hoya gov
ernment. Mr.. Woodfcrd while there lent
aid to the family of the United States con-
sui. He has arrived here upon his return
and has had an interview with a represent
ative of the Associated Press.
Mr. Woodford states that upon his ar
rival at Tamatave he found Mr.. Waller in
prison. According to Mr.. Woodford, the
sole evidence against tie ex-consul was
embodied in letters to his wife and from a
Hova friend, wherein the occupation Of
Madagascar by the French was discussed
and a description given of alleged outrages
upon women.
Mr.. Woodford declares, however, that
the real cause for the French action
against Consul Waller Is that he had OBJ
tanned valuable concessions from the Ko-
vas, and that Mr.. Waller had received his
exequatur from the Hova government.
though opposed by the French. who hold
the right tC determine who shall be the
consul at Tamatave.
On May 1s last, says Mr.. Woodford, ex-
Consul Waller was hurriedly tried and sem
fenced.
"At the time 1 was in Madagascar" said
Mr.. Woodford. Edward T. Wetter of
Georgia was In charge of the United States
consulate at Tan:atave, and was his guest
for a month. was naturally interested in
affairs of the consulate, and saw all the
correspondence of the United States gov
ernment with reference to the Waller case.

which was done. AS to the report, how
ever, If my information is correct, there
will be serious trouble. as I understand the
report was not received at Washington. I
then went direct to Antananarivo, and
found that Mrs Waller and four children
were in a state of desttut.on, and living
on the charity of Hova fr.Nlds. l assisted
them. and, when 1 was leaving, took the

everything had been done which, under the
that at this point the interview became
cabin. and refused to have anything
further to say to the committee.
To Search for the Body.
Durcan S. Walker called on the Commis-
sioners this morning and asked for the use
of the police boat Joe Blackburn to be used
in the search for the body of Ruth W.
Bursley. who was drowned last evening.
Capt. Blnke's Statement.
Capt. Blake said this afternoon that the
steamer was stopped within two minutes
last night after the alarm was given that
there was a person overheard, and that
within eight minutes the small boat was
lowered. He said his small boats are
equipped with patent hooks and are
handled very quickly. He said the first
officer picked crew for the small boat as
Capt. Blake said that under the circum-
staEces it would have been utterly impos-
sible to have saved a person falling over
board in front of the wheel.
Pilot Ross Story.
The pilot of the steamer, Capt. Ross,
said he had stopped within less than two
minutes after the person went overheard,
as there was some uncertainty as to what
was the matter when the alarm was given.
AS soon as he heard the cry of woman
overheard he stopped. He blew four whIs-
ties as a signal to the steamer George
Leary. just astern. whose pilot promptly
stopped and turned en- his search light, and
then backed to a safe distance. The Leary,
he said, acted very nicely.
The Manchester has station drills, as re-
Quired by law, but has no boat drills
Dragging the River.
The police boat is dragging the river this
afternoon, and Col. McKibbin of Marshall
Hall is out with some of his boats; but
there is little hope Of finding the body by
dragging, as the river Is very deep at that
point and the tide was setting out quite
rapidly last night.

and knew tine fate that would be in store
for them when the French should occupy
the capital. On tine journey south to Vat
tomandry. which is seventy miles south
of Tamatave, 1 did not land at Tamatave,
as Mr.. Wetter had warned me that the
French were seeking me and would shoot
me if they could catch me, owing to my
visit to the capital, where they knew I
had been in communication with the Hova
government and the army officials.
Il left the Island of Mauritius and came
on here via Paris. at which latter place I
communicated all I knew of the case to
United Sta tes Ambassador EuStis, through
whom, I am informed. the United States
government has sent to Mauritius for Mrs.
Waller. who sails from there today and
will &C to Paris
Mr.. Woodford adds to the above that the
French in Madagascar are mere filibus-
ters, and are committing frequent high
handed outrages. All mails, both from
and on the island, are inspected by French
officials, especially letters to and from
the United States. Mr.. Woodford's own
mail has been, he says. opened while he
was there.
