Mr. Volney Eaton, secretary of the Cap
ital Traction Company, several days ago
wrote the District Commissioners, inquir-
ing If 1t is the duty of the contractor hav-
ing the matter in charge to remove ashes
from apartment houses. Mr.. Eaton stated
that an apartment house in which he is in
terested is provided with an ash-pit In the
alley, with door opening out above, and
that the man who has been removing ashes
from the house threw them from the pit
into the alley and then into his cart
The inquiry was referred to Mr.. Warner
Stutler, the superintendent of the street
cleaning department. who today reported
to the Commissioners that the contract un-
der which ashes and miscellaneous waste
is collected and removed provides for the
removal of such materials from private
residences only. 1t would. therefore, seem
that apartment houses do not come within
the terms of the contract, says Mr.. Stuuer,
and that they will not be removed by the
municipality from other than private resi-
dences.
The position Of Mr.. Stutler will. 1t Is un-
derstood, receive the approval of the Com
miSSionerS.

days session. NJ. Dorani, speaking Of the

preaching storm by calling for a vote on
the following resolution which was
adopted:
The congress, acting on The Hague
resolutions, expresses its gratitude to these
contributing to the results, in the firm hope
that the powers will not neglect in the
future to utilize the means at their dispoSi-
ton for the appeasement of international
conflicts, and its regret that they have not
been able to do Actual war in the
Transvaal calls the attention Of the various
delegates to the duty devolving upon them
to call the attention of their respective
governments to the obligations the powers
contracted in giving adhesion to The
Hague resolutions"

POSSIBLE AccoMpLIcEs OF BREscI
Efforts of the Government to Run
Down COnspiratOra.

-
Such steps as the national government is
taking toward the detection and arrest of
any persons in the United States who may
have been connected with the assassination
of the late King Humbert were not insti
tuted at the formal request of the Italian
government. The Italian ambassador,
Baron Fava, now at Seabright. N. J., has.
however, communicated unofficially on this
subject with our government. and as mat
ter of international comfy our govern
chinery as it has in command to discover
Brescfs co-conspirators, If there are such
in this country. 1t is not deemed prudent,
tails of the governments procedure in this
matter. especially as its agencies are not
very powerful, owing to the severe limita-
tionS placed upon the national authority.
In a preliminary way, some attention has
been given to the possibility of Furnishing
any of Brescis accompliceS here. and IL is
confessed that there will be much difficulty
met in reaching them. The laws relative to
conspiracy are local, and the underlying
principle Is that the overt act must have
been committed within the particular state
In order to afford jurisdiction to the state
courts. On the other hand. 1t Is very doubt
full whether the conspirators could be de-
livered to the italian government under
extradition proceedings, and this would be
particularly difficult to accomplish If any
of them were naturalized citizens of the
United States. The government. however.
Is proceeding in its efforts to run down the
guilty parties, leaving these legal issues to
be decided later on.

Denies Employing Detectives.

NEW YORK, August 2-Mr. Branchi.
the Italian consul general, denied today thar
he has been directed by Baron Faya- the
Italian ambassador at Washington. to hire
detectives to investigate the rumors Of an
archistic plots prior to the assassination OF
King Humbert He also denied that he was
employing detectives or making any further
investigations with regard to the existence
of anarchists in the United States. He had
never seen Mrs. Bresci, wife of the alleg
slayer of King Humbert. and knew Of no
reason why she should call upon him. If she
wished to communicate with her husband
she had that right, her letters being sub
ject to the scrutiny of the officials.
