FURTHER COMPLICATIONS
Garbage Question Keeps Up Its Tangled
Record.
Mr.. Bayly Says Mr.. Stewart is Not
Authorized to Speak for the
Contractors.

The garbage question. which yesterday
seemed so near a solution. took a most
curious turn today, and the Commissioners
are puzzled to say the least, at the new
complications.
AS stated in The Star yesterday, Prof.
Anderson and Mr.. Cranch Mcintyre, repre-
senting the Andersen crematory system,
were given hearing by the Commissioners
with reference to that system. They were
accompanied by Mr.. Arthur Stewart of
Baltimore. VINO stated that he represented
the Warfeld company. which has the gar
bege contract after November / next. To-
getfer they made a number of propositions
rs to the erection of an Anderson crema-
tory In this city If the system should prove
satisfactory to the authorities after a test
to be held shortly in Chicago. The propo-
sitioEs seemed to strike the Commissioners
most favorably. Among other things, the
representation was made that portion of
the city's refuse could be reduced instead
OF being incinerated, without any objection
able features resulting, and this would give
an added profit. The Commissioners gave
MI. Stewart to understand that If the Gre
matory proved satisfactory here the at
torney for the District might be instructed
10 draw up an additional clause to the con-
tract providing for the establishment Of a
reduction plant as well, on condition that
the District should share in the resulting
profits. This was with the understanding
That II the reduction system was not salts
factory in any way it should not be used
but all garbage should be cremated
Mr.. S. p. Bayly, the Washington 'repre-
sentative of The Baltimore people who have
the contract, was present at the hearing
Yesterday as spectator or auditor. Dur
ing the nearing, he says, he asked Mr..
Stewart by what authority he pretended to
speak for the contractors, and was as
sured that his credentials were all right.
This morning Mr.. Bayiy called upon the
Commissioners and stated that he had iust
received telephone message from Balti.
more from Mr.. Turner. who Is looking af.
ter Mr.. Joshua Warfields interests while
the latter is absent from Baltimore Mr.
Bayly stated that Mr.. Turner absolutely
repudiated Mr.. Stewart, and denied that he
had any official connection with the con.
tractors. 1t is needless to state that this
created considerable surprise in the minds
| of the Commissioners.
Mr.. Bayly further volunteered the state
| ment that at a recent conference in Balti
more between the contractors and the An
| derson company, which he attended, Mr.
| Stewart represented the crematory com
| pany. The contractors then told him t.
come to Washington and present his propo
sition to the Commissioners. They sale
| that II the Commissioners were satisfied
with his propositions and with the practica
| test of the system. he should come back
| and that they would then talk about term
and see If they could not reach an amicabl
| agreement
The Commissioners were told this morn
| ing that they would shortly receive a let
arts connection with the whole affair
| They at once directed Secretary Tindall t
| write to Stewart and find out what h
| meant by his propositions and what RICH
| he had to make them.
| In the meantime the matter rests as 1t Is
| In considerable confusion, and 1t is no cas-,
matter to guess what the final outcom
will be-
