The complications in the jumble of
| representatives, attorneys and agents of
| Carriage Contractor Warfield was some
what unraveled yesterday. Arthur Stew
| art, law yer of some prominence in
| Baltimore, has by some means or other
created, whether Intentionally or not is
| unknown, the impression that he was the
| authorized agent of Mr.. Warfield, and it
| is claimed that he was conducting himself
| as such. on Monday, when w Cranch
| Mcintyre and Prof, Anderson, president
of the crematory company, appeared be-
| fore the board, Mr.. Stewart was with
| them, representing himself as the attorney
! and he heartily lndorsed the Anderson
| system.
5. p Bayley, the accredited agent OF the
| contractor in this city, then informed
the Commissioners that Mr.. Stewart had no
connection with his firm. Mr.. Bayley
called ut the District building yesterday
with a letter from Harry F. Turner, the
| Warfeld agent in Baltimore, which was
| directed TO Mr Bayley and reads as follows:
! Il have seen Mr. Stewart aud ne says he
| had no intention in his statement to the
| Commissioners ofimpying that he officially
| represented the contractor HIS desire was TO
| have the Commissioners understand that he
| knew the cont raCtor wanted the best Sy stem,
| andwas naccOrd with theConImls sionersand
the Health Officer in theirt effoT- to secure
such a system, and that, believing the An
derSon system of incineration and reduction
combined was the best, he a sked the
| Commissioners and the Health Officer TO
examine his experiment, which, If sue
cessful and satisfactory TO the Commits
misSioncrs, would be satisfactory to the
contractor"
ATTORNEY FOR THE ANDERSON.
A letter from Mr. Stewart addressed to
the Commissioners was received late in the
afternoon. II stated that Mr.. Warfield
would appear before the board and explain
matters. This Mr.. Warfield did, and it
now seems that Mr.. Stewart was attorney
for the Anderson system and he was simply
looking after their interests. He was III
no wise an agent of Mr. warfield, and the
latter is perfectly willing to adopt the
Anderson system If il is thought To ne the
best by the Commissioners The ComInis-
sioners are perfectly willing TO give 1t
trial
