GARBAGE VOUCHERS
MAY Be HELD Up.
Mayor Asks City Counselor Bates
for Ruling on Legality of
Approving Bills.
WILL GIVE DECISION TO-DAY.
In Case of Adverse Opinion, Con-
tractors Must Resort to Re-
lief Measures for Their
Money.
WILL GIVE DECISION TO-DAY.

An opinion which will be handed to
Mayor Rolla Wells to-day in regard TO
the garbage matter may settle the fate
of the present contractors.
After the Mayor conferred with City
Counselor Bates, Comptroller Player and
the Board of Public improvements for
two hours yesterday afternoon. he an
nounced that he had made request of
the City Counselor to answer a question
put to him by Health Commissioner ST.
mon. as to whether or not the vouchers
for the last month should be approved.
at have asked Mr.. Bates to give his
opinion on the vouchers Tomorrow" said
Mayor Wells. Since the Supreme Court =
decision. the collecting and disposing Of
garbage has been carried on as heretofore.
and II the vouchers are approved I see no
reason why they should not continue to
be approved until the expiration OF the
contracts.
However, IL Mr.. Bates gives negative
opinion, 1t will then rest with the con-
tractor as to whether he cares to take the
risk of collecting"
It was said that at the conference q
discussion of the feasibility Of allowing
the Street Department to take hold Of
the collecting of garbage was considered
The Street Department has many wag-
ons. and with few more could hold out
until spring, when better arrangements
could be made Should City Counselor
Bates not approve of signing the vouch-
ers, the city will then wait for the Health
Commissioners to declare an emergency,
when the city will take hold.
The present contractors in that event
will have to resort to relief bill for
payment.

FIRST IN NEED OF FUNDS.
Officer Says Sinclair Sesigned Be
cause of Its Financial Condition.

ment. n. G. NJ. yesterday deplored the
resignation of Colonel C. A. Sinclair, and
the intimation that any old-ttme animosi-
ties or jealousies between the city and So
called county, regiments of the guard
had anything to do with the resignation
was denied.
Every member of the regiment" said
a field officer of the First yesterday, "un-
derstands perfectly well all the facts in
the case AS a field officer. I have moth
sor to Colonel Sinclair. The only point
about the thing. is that the regiment de
sible for the Worlds Fair
We need some one at the head of the
regiment who can command financial
strength. Colonel Sinclair recognizes this
better than any one else, and If his vol
untary resignation is accepted. 1t is be-
cause he desires to see successor who
can command the funds necessary for an
armory and full Equipment next year.
II that can be done. II is assured that
Colonel Sinclair will have high place In
the regiment, perhaps Lieutenant Colonel,
when we select new officers"

cABMAN MAY NOT STRIKE.
Believed They VIII Not Go Out
With Transfers.

In regard to the possibility of a cab
mems strige. George 1nnis of Detroit, or
ganiZer of the International Brotherhood
OF Teamsters. who is In ST. Louis looking
after the interests of the sixteen local
unions. said last night: The possibilities
of cab drivers strike is extremely re-
mote Such condition Of affairs is nei-
Their practicable nor possible. All these
local unions are working under signed
agreements with their employers, between
whom these exists the friendliest rela-
tions. Under no circumstances would the

There has been no mass meeting. Of

..As to cab drivers strike. that has
not been ordered. nor will one be ordered

hauted."
E. Haughey. president of the Livery

ACCOUNTANT SAYS
FIGURES M|SLEAD.
"Current Assets" of $250,00O In
Bethlehem Company, Paid for
by Shipyards Trust.
HAD NO EXISTENCE IN FACT.
Subsidiary Concern Paid Off
Large Debt and Invested Con
siderable Money While Big
Combine Was Verging
on Collapse.

New York. Dec 23.-Affairs of the Beth
lehem Steel Company were aired at the
hearing to-day in the United States Ship
building Company.
Inquiry about loans brought out that on
August 5. 1902 the New York Security and
Trust Company loaned to Oliver Wren,
MIR. Schwab's secretary, 100000. taking
as security United States Steel Corpora
tion preferred stock. the loan being repaid
December 5. 1902 Mr.. Root did not know
that Mr.. Schwab was connected with this
loan.
Alfred Rose, an accountant, gave
technical description of the effect of the
charging off Of s250.0O0 from the Bethlehem
assets in November, 1902, declaring that
the shipbuilding company had bought, on
representations in the books, s250,000 in
current assets. which the facts did not
bear out. and that this same sum had APP
peared as current assets in the statement
to the New York Stock Exchange.
Taking up, then, the alleged withhold
ing Of Bethlehem dividends. which, so it
Is charged. was instrumental in wrecking
the shipbuildng company. which owned
the Bethlehem stock. Mr.. Untermeyer OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Rose the statement that
the Bethlehem Company. which on April
had by september 1, 1905, emerged entirely
from debt.
In addition to applying this sum to debt
reduction, Mr.. Rose stated that the Beth
lehem Company had since July q, 1868,
invested $Sl3.625 in the Uruguay Iron COM
pany.
Upon MIR. Guthrie's Directing to this as
testimony concerning the Transactions
subsequent TO the joining issue in this
suit. Mr.. Cntermeyer reioined that zone
of the most significant phases in our case
is other matters arising since the joining
of action
In regard to net earnings. Mr. Roses
figures showed that the earnings. $3.50. 176
in 1901. had increased TO 81 .261, ST in 1907
and $l,66e. $50 in 1893. dividends of $500
being paid In 1901, none. in 1902 and $4,000
in 1909
This last dividend Mr. Rose said, went
to the shipbuilding company to be applied
on the 100000 issue of bonds held by
Mr.. Schwab.

As.ociation Football Note.

With any kind Of favorable weather condi-
tons prevailing tomorrow. the game between
the Hasbeens and picked team from the ST.
Louis Association Football League should prove
the most interesting, socker" game of the sea-
STYLES of play On the side of the Hasbeens
win Ire lined up the best exponents of the
Combination game of a half dozen years ago
Lined up in the forward division are Nc
Sweeney and Mike Corcoran. on the left wing;
In the center win be found Billy Ermen, and
on the right wing will be seen Billy Kane and
Jim Degnan. Five years ago this line would
have been formidable enough to oppose any OF
the best Canada nteaIns.
Erman In center, is onld hand at the
position. At his best Billy. was dashing
center. who fed his wings with accuracy and
grace ana whose ponderous charges resulted
in many goals for the Shamrocks. of which he
was the leader.
Quite a contrast is furnished in the Has
beens right wing Kane who will probably
play the outside. is fast and tricky. while
DeEnan should prove very stubborn defense
In the fuii-back division win be found
stump Karanaugh and Harry Mcnamara.
This Is the same pair that held the st. Teresas
to football fame.

Will Return Home at Earliest
Possible Moment to Prevent
Invasion of Panama.
BEes FRIENDS TO BE CALM,
United States May Make Efforts
to Remove Colombian Soldiers
Who Have Landed on Island
Outside Their Territory.

Washington Dec 23.-"war on Panama
means war with the United States" is the
substance of cablegrams which General
Reyes. the Colombian Minister. is sending
TO Begota and to his more influential fol-
lowers throughout Colombia.
Realizing the gravity of the situation,
General Reyes is endeavoring to bring the
Colombian people face to face with the
situation as he knows 1t here.
He is convinced that the United States
will not permit a Colombian army to land
within the territory of Panama.
No time will now. be lost by General
Reyes in completing his communication to
the State Department.
Heretofore General Reyes has not been
in any hurry to complete his mission in
Washington. thinking that in the mean
time the war feeling in Colombia would
subside.
TO RETURN AT ONCE
Dispatches. however. from President
Marroqun and influential colombians
have caused him to hasten his work and
II is his present intention to return to
Colombia and assume personal command
OF the army as soon as he has filed his
statement at the State Department.
The following cablegram was received at
the Navy Department to-day from Rear
Admiral Coghlan, dated Colon:
TROOPS MOVING.
''Mayflower reports met with Pinzon
carrying 300 men and munitions bound for
base at Titumati"
Official maps of the Navy Department do
not show any place by the name of Titu-
matt. but the superstition is that the point
referred to is Tumate. group of three
islands lying half mile from the Colom-
bian coast in the Gulf of Darien, and
about thirty miles southeast of Cape IT.
huron.
COLOMBIAN TERRITORY.
The Tumate Islands being part of CO.
lombian territory. the department is with
out power to act, beyond observing the
movements of this detachment of the CO.
lombian troops.
The situation at the Island of Pines,
however, is quite different, as that island
is within Panama territory, and il is not
to be expected that the eighty or more
Colombians who were landed there will
be permitted to remain.
Rear Admiral Walker. who has just re-
turned from Panama, conferred with the
President to-day. In his opinion 1t would
be expedient to leave to the marines the
PkotCSith vi tie VI 11C
said that II is unnecessary to increase
the force of marines already in Panama
or in isthmian waters.
Despite the peaceful report made by
Rear Admiral Walker. the probability is
that two more battalions of marines will
sail next week on the Dixie from Phila-
delphia for Colon. 1t is felt at the Navy
Department that 1t will be well to have a
sufficient force in isthmian waters to per-
NIT of frequent /reliefs Tor the force
ashore. Between now and Monday the
question will be decided definitely.
