GARBAGE Men
STILL IDLE
Mayor Schmitz Will Make an
Effort to Settle Strike
at the Reduction Works
RESIDENTS INDIGNANT
Refuse Is Piled Up on Va
cant Lots by Order of
the City's Chief Executive

The big garbage crematory at the
foot of Eighth street looks like de-
serted fortress now. The huge piles
of garbage surrounding the place
maketit appear even more suggestive,
and the passerby who is ignorant of
the fact that a strike is in progress
would suppose that these heaps Of
rubbish were the breastworks of some
besieged army.
The people of the neighborhood are
up in arms against the city officials for
allowing the garbage 10 be dumped
near the crematory. But yesterday
they discovered there was no redress,
for the Mayor has granted the scaven-
gers permission to dump the refuse
OH adjoining vacant lots till the strike
has been settled.
delegation of the men employed
in the crematory yesterday waited
vainly for Mayor Schmitz to tell him
their troubles. The Mayor will hear
the tales of woe of the men and the
officials of the .crematory to-day and
has already undertaken to straighten
out the trouble.
There was no riot at the crematory
yesterday. A squad of patrolmen par
AIDED UP and down in the vicinity OF
the place to keep order. Many of the
strikers were on hand to see what
would happen, but they behaved them
selves and casually looked on, while
wagon after wagon drove up and
dumped its contents on adjoining lots.
The men say they will not go back
till the time clock is done away with.
They have taken dislike to this piece
of modern machinery and VOW they
Will have nothing to do with 1t. They
also want extra pay for overtime. The
officials say the demands of the men
will not be granted and that their
places will be filled within the next
few days.
In the meantime the garbage is fast
pjling up in the vacant lots near the
crematory and residents of the district
are wrought up over the nuisance.
The foul smelling garbage is a menace
to the community and unless some
thing is done within the next forty
eight hours there is likely to be
trouble.
There are about twenty green hands
at present at work in the crematory.
These men cannot begin to handle half
the stuff that comes in, and, as the
scavengers insist on making quick
time, they simply dump the refuse in
some convenient place and hurry on
their way amid the abuse hurled at
them by the indignant residents of the
district

LEE ASSERTS
HIS INNOCENCE
Denies He Passed a Raised
Bill Upon Mrs. Vallade to
Pay for the Macaroni
SHE SWEARS TWAS HE
Prosecution Offers to Prove
Defendant Was Once Ar
rested on Forgery Charge

Much contradictory testimony was
given yesterday before United States
Commissioner Heacock in the prelim-
mary examination of LIE Roy Lee.
charged with passing 81 silver GER
tificate raised to $40 on Mrs. A. ], VAL
lade, proprietor of a delicatessen store
at 1141a Sixth street. on December 26.
Mrs. Vallade and her daughter Grace
positively identified Lee as the man
who had passed the raised note. They
said he had been in the store several
times before that and had bought sew
eral articles.
Miss Grace Vallade told the court
that at o'clock on the afternoon or
bought cents worth of potato salad,
for which he paid with a 50-cent piece.
Lloyd Lee, their 12-year-old son, was
not with them. In fact Miss Grace and
her mother were positive that they had
never seen the boy until he appeared IL
the courtroom. At half-past 8 o'clock
Lee had returned alone and bought of
Miss Grace 10 cents worth of macaroni
cakes, giving her the bad $40 bill.
On the evening Of the 2Sth she saw
him pass the store, and she and the
dishwasber followed him until they saw
him go into 934 Howard street, where
he roomed. They then informed Po-
liceman T. B. Riordan, who arrested
Lee.
Lee and his wife swore that they.
with the boy, bought two mince pies
and some dCughnuts on the occasion
referred to and that Lee paid with a
So bill, which bill was genuine. This
bill Mrs. Vallade admitted having re-
ceiyed but at an earlier date than the
one testified to. The boy, Lloyd Lee,
IL years old, swore that he saw his
father give a IS bill. In answer to a
question by Judge Heacock the boy
said he had not spoken with his
parents at all about the affair.
Judge Heacock remarked that there
was much contradictory testimony in
the case and that it came from the de-
fendant and his family. Under the
well known rules of law" he said,
such testimony is to be received, if at
all, with very great caution"
w. D. Redington, wholesale druggist,
A. III. Vail of Sanborn & Vail and
Richard de Lancie Deputy United
States Marshal, testified to Lees good
reputation
United States Secret Service Agent
George w. Hazen and Assistant United
States Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert
said they would prove by Police De-
tective Gibson that he had arrested
Lee five years ago on a charge of
forgery. The hearing was thereupon
continued until o'clock this after
noon In order that the detective might
be present and testify.

Supply is running heavier this week

shown Monday and Tuesday, while
shipping demand has not absorbed
many more. consequently the proper
ton of the run going to packers is
larger than recently Various agen-
cies have contributed to the increase.
One is that it is the last week of the
month and shippers are embracing the
opportunity afforded by good market
to get rid of a lot of stuff contracted
for March delivery. The sharp adj
vance last week also stimulated buying
in the country and, as roads have
dried out Within the past few days,
deliveries at shipping points have been
facilitated. There were Il good many
lockers for stockels and feeders from
the east and during the past two or
three weeks more stuff has been ship
