STREET CAR EMPLOYEES

A meeting of the street car employees
will be held at the barns near Ascot
park tonight to discuss in a general
way many subjects relating to the i'm
provement Of street car service, and
Acting Superintendent Lewis will ad-
dress the employees.
The rumor gained currency yesterday
that this meeting was an unusual one
and was called by the officials of the
street car company in connection with
the recent accidents, but this is denied
by the officials, who say that the meet
ing tonight is the regular periodical
meeting of employees to discuss general
subjects relating to Improvement of
service and has no connection with the
accidents, although this subject will
probably come up for discussion during
the evening.
Mr.. Lewis will adress the employees
but Mr.. Huntington will not be present.

THE HUSBAND THAT SHE
LONGED FOR NEVER CAME
NEITHER DID THE LETTERS SHE
EXPECTED
Alvin Hull Charged With Preferrine
His Barber Shops and Native
Women to Family Left Behind
When He Went to War

The story of a husband who is said
to have preferred his barber shops in
the Philippines and the company of
the women of the islands to that of his
American wife was recited yesterday
in Judge Gibbs court in the suit of
Mrs. Alvin Hull for divorce from Err
win e. Hull on a charge of desertion.
The couple were married at June
tion City, Kan, in 1900. In February,
1901, the husband decided to take a
trip to the Philippines and according
ly enlisted in Troop Nine, Sixth caval-
ry. He was promoted to the rank of
corporal before his honorable discharge
short time later.
When his wife learned that he was
free to return to her, she moved to
California in order to be near to him
when he reached this country Since
her arrival here she has been living
in Pasadena and making her own liv-
ing, but her husband did not return.
Mrs. HulPs brother at that time was
in the employ of the government on
the islands and he wrote to his sister
that her husband was making plenty
of money operating a number of bar
ber shops and that he seemed to en-.
Joy the company of the native women.
Mrs. Hull wrote to her husband. The
letter was received and the return
register attested, but no answer ever
came and Mrs Hull filed her petition
for divorce. The decree was granted.

ASK ENFORCEMENT
Of GARBAGE LAWS.
COLLECTIONS MADE OUT OF
HOURS
WOMEN TAKING UP SUBJECT
Board Of Health and Numerous clti-
zens Demand Better System for
Removal Of Municipal
Wastes
WOMEN TAKING UP SUBJECT

Will the garbage question never
down? This is what city councilmen
are asking.
In answer the women's Civic feder-
alton replies. mot until we are given
a good system of collection such as
many other cities enjoy"
Several times delegations from the
federation have been before the coun-
Gil with numerousy signed petitions.
They have asked the city legislators
to see that the contractor fulfilled the
conditions of his contract. The coun-
Gil has promptly referred such commu-
nications, after the women left, to the
board of health.
That board imediately took up the
question and stationed inspectors at
the dump and crematory to find out
how much garbage was collected and
disposed of. The discoveries made were
startling, to say the least. 1t was
found that out of 100 tons per day of
refuse but from two to five tons were
collected and burned.
The law says the garbage shall be
collected before 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, but the contract was drawn in
such a way that the contractor has
until noon to finish the work. 1t is
claimed that the wagons are on the
streets in the afternoon in many sec
tions of the city. Citizens all over
town are demanding that this be
stopped so as to allow the removal of
the unsightly receptacles from the
sidewalks.
Interest in this subject has become
so general that citizens who have made
a study of garbage collection else
where are offering their services free
to the city. Charles A. Menges of
Norwalk has offered to superintend
the work gratis should the city or
some organization be willing or de-
sire TO take charge of the work
II is now reported that Garbage Con- |
tractor Alexander is anxious to sell his |
old wagons to the city, as his contract
expires in couple of months. The
board of health wants the council to
cancel the contract and states that it |
will see TO the collection.
When the new crematory is work
ing it is expected that the city will
do the collecting as well as the cremat-
ing of the garbage. Nearly all of
the civic and municipal organizations |
in the city are determined to do all |
IL, their power to secure sanitary wag-
ons for the collection. This pre-
cludes the buying of Alexanders old
wooden wagons.
When the Decarie incinerator was
purchased a plan was partially outlined
whereby the city was to purchase a
full set of modern sanitary steel wag-
ons, which would be absolutely air
tight, and which could be sterilized
after each day. With such wagons the
odor usually attendant upon the gar
bage wagon would be entirely done
away with. 1t is expected that in
the near future the council will take
up the question of providing sanitary
wagons for the collection of the city's
refuse
