CLERGYMAN'S DENJNCIATION OF

most interesting communications on that
subject consists Of a statement publicly
made by Rev. William j. Dalton, recently

CITY ASH CARTS.
Complaint of the Collection System
Made by a Citizen.

The District Commissioners have. re-
ceived from E. ]. Earle of 1909 II street
northwest, a communication complaining
OF the system of ash collection now in
operation. The writer says:
Il desire to enter complaint in regard to
the rules governing the collection Of ashes
trash, etc, by the city ash carts. Real
izing at the start that at present the con-
tractor has the law on his side, inasmuch
as it requires residents to provide cans
which the poorer classes are unable to
buy, and even those who have bought cans
find in the end 1t costs more to get rid of
their ashes than 1t used to in the days
when we only had the old uncle and his
rickety wagon to depend upon.
81. for one have provided myself with
a can, but when your ashman comes he
sorts it over, and takes what he wants
leaving such trash as old shoes, tin cans
etc, behind And on one occasion informed
my servant that he would take the paper
away, provided she would furnish him with
some sacks to put it in. She did not fur
nish the sacks, so the paper was LEFT, and
l hired a man to remove it. One Of my
neighbors. who has barrel gets his ashes
removed .. X, but another asks the same
ashman to remove his from barrel and
the ashman replied. If you have five cents
/ will So / am led to believe that by
paying these drivers five cents extra we
can use the barrel. l could cite fifty in
stances where the insolence and abuse Of
these drivers have driven my neighbors
back to the old way of dsposing of ashes.
In fact, l watched the collector of ashes
for three blocks and he only found two
houses where ashes were in proper cans
that he could collect them Now. I think
we have here in the District the best sys-
tenn of collecting garbage that L have seen
anywhere in the United States, and hope
your body will get as convenient system
for the collection of ashes. The house
keepers viii certainly not put hot ashes
In boxes and burn their own homes down
any more than they did before We had the
new ashman, with his gorgeous blue wagon
running over the city almost empty"

Strong Interests Come to Rescue of
Stock Market.
QUESTION OF SELF PRESERVATION
Corner in Northern Pacific Re-
acted Against Other Holdings.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to TIL yenlng Star.

Special Dispatch to TIL venlns Star.
NEW YORK. May 1O.-The decision of
the larger interests and many of the older
banks to stand together in the efforts to
stay the irrational slaughter Of prices
which assumed such Roadway yesterday,
was a decided success In today's market.
London's prices reflected gains over the
local closing varying from l to 10 per cent.
the latter for st. Paul.
This reflection of restored confidence re-
suited In strong opening on this side and
was the beginning Of an active demand
which restored a considerable proportion
OF yesterdays losses. The advance was
more than the customary reaction from a
panic period induced by bargain hunters
and the covering of short contracts. 1t re-
f1ected a determined effort to undo the
questionable actions leading to the remark
able behavior in Northern Pacific.
The corner in this stock was pressed to
the point of straining the support to the
entire market.
The party in position to triumph over the
discontinue of the short interest found
their other holdings dwindIing away at a
pace which threatened disaster. Self
preservation was the final instinct which
dominated the situation and proved SUI
perior to the ruinous vanity which forced
the setback.
.
the Northern Pacific episode would be
forced into the background, and this dis
cussion helped to restore confidence. All
of the allied securities were bought conf
IDENTIFY and all responded willingly. Mr..
Morgan was credited with large purchases
Of Erie stocks in London, and expressed
willingness to contribute to any relief plan
which might be divised.
The strength Of Great Northern and Bur
lington also showed a more satisfactory
condition. In Union Pacific. the especial
favorite of the Northern Pacific opposi-
ton, an advance of more than 20 per cent
was recorded under a big demand At all
points evidence was abundant that the
Warl1ke feeling had been subdued.
The acute stage of the panic has passed
but there is a belief that a traitor remains
to be punished In financial affairs injuries
or this character are nurSed for a pro-
tracted period and months may eapse be-
fore the last is heard of the Northern Pa
cifiC corner.
The steel stocks rallied smartly and were
In splendid demand by outside interests
The advance yesterday under fire has given
these issues new prominence Money loan
ed from to ) per cent during the active
borrowing period, al loans carrying over
until Monday.
The holiday tomorrow will give brokers
an opportunity for bringing office affairs
into shape, and the coming week should
show d more rational market. The scare
period has passed, and the banks can. il
they VIII, prevent an undong in either d.
rection. Todays developments indicate
that the countrys prosperity is the real
background of the stock market
