Report in Response to Complaint Re-
garding Deposits on Canal Street.

s. Carr, representing John Cook, trustee,
recently complained to the Commissioners
that point opposite 123 to al P street
southwest is being made a public dump.
The matter has been investigated by the
health and engineer departments and the
Commissioners have approved a statement
from Charles Fernald, assistant engineer,
IN which he says:
1.-THE deposits made on Canal street at
the point referred to are of nature not
considered Objectionable, If suitably cared
ing material is desired, continuance Of the
deposits should be encouraged. but only un-
der such regulations and restrictions as
will fully protect the sanitary features In
volved
with this object in view 1t is recon-
mended that the dump be continued under
the supervision and control of a dumpman,
who shall be instructed to destroy by fire
all cOmbustible materials, such rags,
papers, straw, shavings leaves, brushwood,
etc, Immediately upon their being dumped
materials in such a manner as to obtain
good drainage and compact FILL regulating
all deposits to conform to grade.
THE gases, fumes and smoke from COM
oustion need not, If properly done. be OBJ
jectionable, and no danger to adjoining
property is apprehended from ignition. The
appropria tons controlled by the street
cleaning department. 1 am informed by its
superintendent, Mr.. Stutler, are insufficient
therefore suggested that his compensation
might be charged to repairs to streets until
such time as Mr.. Stutler has funds for the
purpose available"

MUST NOT VIOLATE LAW.
Itnerant Preachers Warned Against
Obstructing Streets and Alleys.

Itinerant preachers who do missionary
public highways have been informed by the
police that they must do their preaching at
such places and in such a manner that will
not violate the law. Street and alley OBJ
structions are not to be permitted, nor will
unusual noises be tolerated. This notifica-
ton through the police lieutenants resulted
from an opinion of the assistant corporation
counsel which was rendered after complaint
had been made by r. Grant Barnwell of
1904 w street. In letter to the District
Commissioners Mr.. Barnwell entered COM
plant against certain noises permitted in
his vicinity, and also preferred charges
against a policeman. The result of the trial
of the policeman will be promulgated in a
few davS.
Many of the itinerant preachers have
been told of the manner in which they may
carry on their missionary work without be-
coming amenable to the provisions of law
They have been advised to select places for
carrying on their work where they will not
interfere with the rights Of others and
where no annoyances will follow their eff
forts to do good. They have been told of
places about the city where they may hold
meetings, especially the space at Louisiana
avenue and 9TH street, where meetings are
held almost every night. 1t is thought by
the police that the order will result in a
number OF the preachers appearing in the
same neighborhoods, and then 1t will be
for the religious workers to settle among
themselves the question of time to be al
lotted to each in order to prevent trouble.

BETTING ON THE oARsMEN.
Cornell Favorite in All of the Three
Events

II do not believe any records will be
broken tomorrow" said Charles E. Court
ney, the veteran coach of the Cornell navy,
at Poughkeepsie last night, when asked to
give his opinion of the probable outcome of
the intercollegiate championship boat races
between crews representing the universities
of Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Wis
consin. Syracuse and Georgetown.
II do not mean to be understood as say
ing that the crews are not fast-indeed, If
the race could have been rowed week
ago, the record might have been broken
but the cold damp, rainy weather of sew
eral days past has caused all the crews to
go back, and I don't believe any Of them
will be equal tomorrow to try.
II am not making any. excuses, under
stand, because no crew has suffered more
than another. My men have had to row
in wet or damp clothing nearly all the
time"

In Readiness for the Coliseum Meet
Tonight

Walthour, Freeman and Butler are now
in the city in readiness for the meet at the
Coliseum tonight, which will be held if
there is the slightest chance, even though
the weather continues threatening but
does not rain toward evening.
Equally as important is the fact that
each of the three riders has his own power

be no shortage on this score.
The track has received further attention
from the carpenters, and never was in bet
ter condition for fast riding than 1t is now

that have exhausted the patience of the
Washington Coliseum management and pa
irons, the Baltimore meet last night. with
Walthour Leander and Nelson, was
great success, and went off without hitch
Walthour won in the final heat, but only
by about forty yards. The meet here to-
night promises quite as fine race.

the box office and exchanged for seats for

the part of Corbett. The Denver boy was
always on the alert and followed his rival
all over the ring. A hard right after a
feint dropped Murphy. but the latter recov-
cred his equilibrium without taking the
usual count.
Toward the close of the round Murphy
forced matters, sending the right to the
head twice without a return. Murphy took
the Initiative In the third. He drove the
left to the body and followed with the left
to the face and the right to the head. Muir
ply repeated this, but was forced to the
ropes.
When they began operations again MUIR
phy went for Corbetts body. The cham
pion was all at sea at this stage, and Muir
phy. seeing an opening, swung the left for
Corbett's Jaw He landed flush and Corbett
went down in a heap. Corbett found his
feet quickly, and tried for the head, but
missed.
Murphy, toward .theg close of the fifth
round, became the aggressor and landed
twice with effect on the wind. He seemed
to have Corbett in a bad way at the bell.
Corbett began hostilities in a hurry in the
sixth After a few exchanges he coaxed
Murphy to the middle of the ring. Before
Murphy could get set Corbett swung the
right. The blow landed plump on the New
Workers. Jaw and the latter went down,
and was slowly counted out.

RACES AT SHEEPSHEAD.
Erratic Blues Lasted Long Enough to
Win Handicap.

An attractive program was presented at
Sheepshead Bay yesterday, and thousands
took advantage of the improvement In
weather conditions to visit the course. The
racing was fair, considering the state of the
track which was heavy, and, In fact, quite
muddy next the rails.
Blues won the Sheepshead Bay Handicap,
at mile, showing SO much speed for the
first seven furlongs as to cause comment on
the report circulated after his last race to
the effect that he was severely injured.
The atmosphere yesterday was much more
in favor of Blues, touched in the wind
he is said to be- At the last furlong pole
the erratic horse gave every indication OF
desiring to stop, but he came again and
won by daylight from the fast-cloSlng Hun
ter Raine, who beat Himself a head for
second place. Igniter's race was disap-
pointment. His Eminence was worked an
extra half mile The value OF the stake to
the winner was $3.50.
Four two-yearolds were in a cluster one
hundred yards from the finish of the
Zephyr Stakes, worth $3.50 to the winner,
which proved to be Race King, ONeill up,
who was at comparatively long odds for
SO consistent performer. The four that
fought it out were Toledo, Race King. Tim
Payne and Greencrest, the last named
making up five lengths in the last quarter
of mile Toledo stopped badly in the last
furlong. Rockaway. better-looking horse
than his stable companion, Toledo, was left
at the post.
Much money was wagered on Alliance in
the fifth race, and he should have won, but
he was much interfered with half way
down the dip and could get no nearer
the front than third, the winner proving to
be Goldspink, which in some of the betting
was at 80 to /, and was backed down, so
that lot of money was won on him. The
oddly named Sunshine After Rain was a
starter in this event.
Toscan repeated his winning race of two
days before and defeated a fast field OF
sprnters in the opening dash. Ascension
was second, w. r. Condor, who had been
In the worst part of the track, stopping fast
near the finish. H. H. Meyers who ran
Pastoral in this race, claimed w. r. Con-
don for S2,S30.
Fire Eater had an easy conquest in the
second event, the heavily backed Payne
running much below expectations.
HACKS perseverance won the last race
for the owner of Lady Potentate as she
was crowded back the first turn and
seemed to have little chance after that
But her jockey gradually made up lost
ground and eventually caught the pace
maker, Arden, and beat him. 1t was said
that Snapper Garrison placed commits
