MIR. STUTLER OBJECTS.
Reasons for Opposing Suggestions o
Business Mems Association.


AT recent meeting of the Business Mems
Association 1t was resolved to request the
District Commissioners Ito amend the regu-
lations requiring householders to provide
separate metallic cans for ashes garbage
and waste paper to be removed whenever
kept in separate receptables capable of be-
ing handled. and that ashes be removed
from business houses we'll from pri-
vate residences" copy of the resolution
was transmitted to the Commissioners, who
referred it to Mr.. Warner Stutler, the SUI
perintendent of the street cleaning depart
ment. Mr.. Stutler has reported to the Com
misstoners that to amend the regulations as
suggested would. in his opinion, be detri-
mental to the service, even II 1t could be
done.
THE reason that the regulations" says
gested IS that they are made part of the
contract. and they are made a part of the
contract for the reason that the proposals
received provided for separate metal recep-
tacles for garbage and ashes. capacity OF
which should not be less nor exceed a GER
tain amount. Therefore, the request to
have the regulations modified and require
that the garbage ashes and waste paper be
removed whenever kept in separate recep-
tacles capable of being handled is far
reaching and could not be complied with.
The resolution is far-reach!ng, and even
II ii could be complied with would be det-
rimental to the service, for the following
reasons:
ANY kind Of receptacle could be used,
either large or small. One might be too
large for the collector to handle and others
might be so small that number of trips
would be required to remove the material.
Wooden receptacles would soon become
soaked and saturated with garbage, and
would not only be an offensive nuisance, but
would be detrimental to the health of the
city. Therefore / would say that II the
sanitary condition of the city is to be main
tanned the regulation requiring metal recep-
Giles for garbage should be strictly enforced
wooden receptacles for ashes are
dangerous account of fire. Two cases
have already been reported to this office
where fire has been caused from putting
hot ashes in barrels, in one case the fire
department being called out. Again, wooden
receptacles are liable to fall to pieces while
being removed from the premises to the
street or alley. thereby scattering the con.
tents over the sidewalk street or alley. II
public safety and cleanliness are considered
the regulation should be enforced as 1t is.
The regulations do not require metal re.
ceptacles for other waste than garbage anC
ashes.
THAT part of the resolution in reference
to collection of ashes and other refuse from
business houses is provided for in the esti
mates of the Commissioners appropria
ton having been recommended for that pur
| pose"

CHAFFEE'S ORDER.
Strfct Discipline EEjoined Upon
 American Troops In China.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 11.-An idea of
 the strict discipline cXucted of the l nit cd States troops in China is indicated by
 the following general order issued by General Chatfee:
 All officers will take measures to as sure themselves that enlisted men of
 their commands are always in proper
 dress and present d neat and clean ap leaIancc when leaving their quarters to visit other parts.
 It has been noticed that many cam
 paign hats are old and dirty New hats
 be drawn if necessary and efforts made to preserve them i'll proper condition.
 The hat or cap will not be used to wear , or carry any article or ornament not con
 temDatcd.
 The blouse or coat must at all times be buttoned throughout. If for satis- factory reason the blouse be not worn, the blue shirt must be huttoned through out, collar turned down. nndcrclothing 2
 concealed and suspenders discarded 'Especial attention should be paid to
 military courtesy to preserve the good opinion the world now has for the Amer ican soldier. Officers and noncommis- stoned officers are depended upon to
 maintain high standard of appearance,
 department and efficiency at all times and are reminded that the prcccpt and
 example which they set is quickly re- fected in their subordinatcS. and every
 member of this command who is proud
 of his country is expected so to bear him self at all times that the reason for his pride will be evident"

Farm Burnin& Explained !.

CAPE TOWN, Dec. 11.-In q memo randum to the premier of Cape Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, Lord Roberts explains that farm burning has been or dered strictly in accordance with the usages of war He says in part: ''Whether the people whose houses are burned are actual accessories to the cut ting of railways and other damage must be left to the general officers command ing to decide. They must be trusted to make full inquiry befoie having re- course to extreme measures, but, as this is essentially police work, I anticipate that when the police are established we shall find the necessity for burning grad ually disappear, with less danger of the innocent suffering, and that my successor will eventually be able to abolish alto 9ether a distasteful punishment"

CARTER SENTENCE SUSTAINED Federal Court of Kansas Upholds the
 TrinI Courts Ruling.

ST LOUIS. Dec. 11-In a decision handed down by Judge Hook of the fed eral district court of Kansas and concur red in by United States Circuit Judge Amos M. Thayer, Obcrlin NJ. Carter, ex- captain United States army. under sen tence of five years Imprisonment for misrepresentation of government funds while in charge of the harbor work of Sa- vannah, is remanded to the custody of Robert w. McLaughry, warden of the federal penitentiary at IeayenWOrth, where Garter has been confined.
 The court overruled the petitioners de- murrer on the habeas corpus writ issued some time ago and sustained the ruling of the trial courts, together with the sub sequent action of President Mckinley. who set aside 12 of the charges under which he was convicted, but made no change of the sentence imposed by the court martial.
 One of the chief contentious urged in Carter's behalf was that the president in reducing the number of specifications pre- ferred thereby made void the punishment inflicted. On this point Judge Thayer says:
 The punishment prescribed by the ar ticles of war is attached to the charge and not the specifications made thereun- der, the latter being merely by way of complication and detailed statement of the principal charges to which they re- spectively relate, but even if this were not so the rule is well established that where a sentence in gross is pronounced upon a conviction under an indictment containing several counts and upon ap- peal or review some of them are held bad and the others are sustained the sentence will not be disturbed. provided it is such as could lawfully have been imposed un- der the counts which were upheld.''
