VIGOROUS PROTEST
CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF ALLEGED
"INToLERABLE NUISANCE"

A committee of citizens called upon the
Commissioners today ard protested in open
meeting against what they termed AN In
tolerable nuisance" The cause of their
perturbation was the garbage transfer sta
ton which is located at New Jersey avenue
and X street southeast. and which, these
citizens claimed, is in the habit of emitting
decidedly offensive odors-so offensive, IN
fact, that they have to keep their houses
Theoretically sealed in order to escape
the stencil. After listening to the several
complaints, Commissioner West, who has
immediate supervision oyer the garbage dis
posal, announced that the case had been
strongly presented; that "a nuisance prac-
tically had been demonstrated, and he as
sured the complainants that II the cost
is not too great he will recommend
change in the garbage transfer station to
point outside of the District, preferably
Alexandria island. 1907 -
The delegation consisted of members of
the East Washington Citizens ASSOCIATION,
headed by Messrs Thomas w. Smith and
NJ. /. Weller, president and vice president,
respectively. Mr.. Smith spoke at length.
showing the reasons why the station should
not be retained at its present location, ana
concluded by declaring that the District
can save money instead of mourning IN
creased expense by having the garbage
transferred az point OUTSIDE the Distrlct.
This was challenged by Commissioner
West. who had been informed that such
change would cost from $4,000 TO $4,000
more per annum than the present method.
Mr.. Weller said that Southeast Washing
tonians were willing to stand their snare
of nuisances and inconveniences but that
they did not want to be greedy about II
and retain all the undesirable things. I'VE
have your almshouse. your poorhouse. your
jail and breweries and cemeteries, and one
or two other magnificent improvements,
but really we can spare the garbage trans
fer station"
The Commissioners considered the mat
ter after the hearing and announced that

BERLIN, April 6.-The report of the ap-
pointnent of Privy Councillor DR.. Rosen,
who until recently was special envoy of
Germany at the court of King Menelik of
Abyssnia, as German minister to Morocco
in succession to the deceased Baron Won
Mentzingen, has been confirmed. DR.. Ro-
SEN however, does not know of his APP
pointment He is somewhere between Ber-
lin and King Meneliks court, returning
from his special mission.
DR.. Rosen, who has deep scholarly knowl-
edge of ancient and modern oriental Ian
guages, is reputed to know more Of the
present day oriental civilization than any
living German. He Is also personally SYM
pathetic to orientals, and his easy and
complete acquaintance with the Arabic
tongue and manners Is expected to make
him personally the most influential foreign
diplomat in Morocco.
There Is every indication that Germany
designs hold on tenaciously to her policy
toward Morocco.

Arguments Advanced.

In support of the petitions the board
was addressed by Mr.. Herbert and Drs
Mckim and Powers. They confined their
remarks to the statements made in the
petitions and added briefly the reasons
that have been given from time to time
by the advocates of the movement for
the Introduction of moral instruction in
the schools why their ideas should pre-
vail. 1t was indicated that patriotic mo
tives should govern the Introduction into
the schools of a system of moral instruc-
ton, and ii also stated that the eff
feet of such course would be to de-
crease the amount of crime in large cities
The proposed readings from the Bible. ii
was suggested, should be made accept
able to PrOtestants, Roman Catholics and
Hebrews.
At the conclusion of the meeting which
was behind closed doors. 1t was an
nOunced that the matter was not consid-
cred by the board after the departure of
the delegation and was simply taken
under Amusement. II was also stated that
no action will be taken by the board I'M
til those opposed to the introduction of
religious instruction in the schools have
been given an opportunity to present
their side of the case.

Not a New Proposition.

In their introduction the petitions state
that what is proposed is nothing new, but
merely Ito do in a more effective manner
what is now required by law in the matter
of moral instruction. Reference is made to
rule 46. requiring teachers to :inculcate
truthfulness self-cOntrol. temperance. fru-
galty, industry, obedience to parents and
obedience to the laws of Cod 1t is also
stated that it is required that the Bible
shall he read and the Lords Prayer repeat
ed in the public schools, and those who
signed the petition only ask that this
moral teaching shall be carefully prepared
by the board of education, instead of leav-
ing the details of selection and explanation
10 each teacher"
For these and other reasons 1.-The under
signed citizens of the District of Columbia
respectfully petition the board of educa-
ton. in the interests of good citizenship, tc
introduce into the public schools the fol
lowing studies: The Ten Comma ndments,
their recognized summary, Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart. and
thy netghbor myself" and the systemat-
approved by the board of education.
The petitioners further suggest that the
board take steps to provide a course of
readings from the Bible. and the petitions
conclude with the proviso that there Shall
be no sectaran religious teaching in the
schools, and that any parent who may de-
sire to withdraw a child from the instruc-
tion suggested has liberty so to do.
