PROTEST FROM ALEXANDRIA,.
injections to Manner of Dispensing of
District Carthage

Mr.. Gardner L. Boothe, the civ attorney
OF Alexandria, Va, has filed with the Dis
trict Commissioners a protest against the
present manner of disposing of the garbage
collected in the District, the disposition be-
ing, he states, a source of annoyance to the
residents of Alexandria. Mr. Boothe refers
to a recent delegation. headed by Senator
Martin and Representative Rixey of yirz
g1nia, which called upon COMMISSIONS
wight upon the subject, stating that MIR
Wight requested him to address a cornnln--
ncation to the board of Commissioners
that the matter might be thoroughly under
stood, Mr. Wight stating that he was nm
aware that any complaint had been made.
apart from the fact" says Mr. Boothe
that the odors are extremely disagreeable
and offensive, they are most unhealthy, and
II Is our ceslre to have some arrangement
L.ade Tor the satisfactory adjustment of
this matter at the earliest possible date. L
am confident that Senator Martin and Mr.
RiNey will gladly cooperate with you in
getting any necessary appropriation
through Congress looking to this end If
you Will pardon me, will make the follow
ing suggestions:
First, this garbage should be hauleI
down the Potomac only in inclosed scows
and these scows should, in no case be al
lowed to stand in the river opposite TO or
near the city of Alexandria Second none
OF this garbage, under any circumstances
should be dumped within five miles of the
city of Alexandria Third, crematory
should be erected at the farm of the con-
tractor. so that the garbage could be Gre
mated as soon as it arrives there"
1t is understood that the matter will be
referred by the Commissioners to Dr. VIM
c. Woodward, the District health officer,
for investigation and report. ii being the
desire of the Commissioners to protect the
people of Alexandria against the COM

his not caring to serve. or possibly he
foresaw that the duties of treasurer, with
the speed the money has been pouring in,
would hardly be worth while to bother

Another factor that Is said to be keeping
the money back Is that the business men of
Philadelphia have been called upon to raise

city in the United States the greatest man

has benefited perhaps more than any other
from the republican principle of protection.
The convention association. of which the
Shields committee was n part started ON.
TO raise 100000 Collectors were appoint-
ed, press agent was employed printing
bills were run up and the association soon
found itself up against the real thing Saia-
ries were paid the first two weeks. and
Henry Burke, president of the association
paid 81 900 out Of his own pocket There
was limit 10 Burke's enthusiasm and
when salaries were not forthcoming the
work came to a standstill.
Finally Burke. and Richard Oellers chair
man of the finance committee and who is
by the way business manager of the demo-
cratic Record, in company with Shields
went to Mayor Ashbridse and asked him to
officially sanction the association. Shields
objected. but the mayor consented to take
charge Of the movement to raise the fund
provided that those then in charge resign
Burke and Ocllers were willing to do this
but Shields said that his committee knew
its business and he would not resign.
There were other entanglements Shields

which represents an aggregate wealth of
more than s16OO00.000. Several members of
the Shields committee are also members of

Last Years Exposition.

Last years exposition here was held
under the joint auspices of the museum and
the Franklin Institute. A good-sized ap-
preparation was worked through Congress
and the museum alone is the beneficiary.
The contract for the building was awarded
to Allan e. Rorke since dead, who was a
close political friends of Quay. Rorke was
not the lowest bidder. and there was n
scandal. John Wanamaker, one OF :be di-
rectors. resigned. From a Sense of bride
the newspapers have never printed a word
about it. But that is another story
There are some long heads in the museum
management. Another appropriation was
wanted with which to complete the muse
um's permanent home The exposition build
ing was an admirable place for a national
convention. The management would volun-
teer the use of the hall free of charge This
would surely clinch the friendship of the re-
publican senators and representatives to-
ward any appropriation bill that might be
introduced. Then, again, Chairman Hanna
and Secretary Dick were anxious to have
the convention held in a city contiguous to
Washington SO that they could be frequent
visitors and watch the progress of arrange
ments without encroaching to any great
extent on their congressional duties 1t is
significant that almost simultaneous with
the selection of Philadelphia and the ex-
position building as the place for the con-
vention Senator Penrose introduced Il bill
asking for another S2000oo for the mu-
scum.
