SAYS IT BURNS
ALL GARBAGE

The Sanitary Reduction Works at
Fifth and De Haro streets is working
night and day to dispose of the accu-
tnulated garbage caused by the walk
ing out of the fifty men employed in the
plant who refused to submit to the in
PRODUCTION of time clock. The places
of the strikers have been filed with a
force Of new men, and the heaps of
rubbish are rapidly disappearing.
Andrea Sbarboro, president of the
works, said yesterday that all the
garbage was being taken care of and
incinerated at the plant. and that the
new men were satisfactorily filing the
places of the old hands.
Mounted police of Captain Spillane's
command are constantly on the alert
to prevent the surreptitious dumping of
rubbish around the plant by scaven-
gers seeking to dispose of their cart
loads. In the vicinity of the works are
heaps Of rubbish dumped there on the
day the scayengers were given permis
sion to do so, and these heaps ARE
slowly rottins and 'flling the air with
stencil that makes Chinatown smell
sweet and clean in comparison.
The striking men are to be seen
around the works and claim that not
all the garbage in the city is being
burned. They say that only go per cent
of the drivers are carting rubbish to
the works, While the remaining 40 per
cent are dumping garbage in vacant
lots throughout the city. This is strenu-
ously denied by the superintendent of
the works.
The men also assert that two nun
dred men are taking the place of the
fifty strikers. in order to expedite the
works, but that the reduced matter,
dumped into the ears. which should
consist of ashes only. is filed with 1n
incinsrated matter. They further allege
that owing To the employment of un-
skilled men the garbage men are being
charged on an average of 40 cents a
cubic yard, which is double the price
agreed to by the works.

WATERLOCCED LAKME IS flowed INTO PORT
Schooner Is All Submerged
but Her Pilot-House and
the Topgallant Forecastle
HEAVY BURDEN FOR
THE TUG SEA ROVER
Cargo of Lumber Saves
the Stout Coaster From
Going to Bottom of Sea

The waterlogged steam schooner
I.akme was brought into port yesterday
by the tug Sea Rover, which took the
derelict from the steamer North Fork
on Thursday morning off Point Arena
The Lakmes after end is entirely sub
merged, but otherwise the vessel ap-
pears to be in good condition. The pilot
house and topgallant forecastle are the
only parts of the Lakme above water.
In spite Of heavy seas not a window In
the pilot-house is broken, and the jack
staff, the top of which appears above
water, is still in commission.
The Lakme struck on the bar when
leaving Eureka, broke her rudder and
tail shaft and damaged her stern. That
quite a hole was knocked in her stern
is thought likely, but being loaded with
lumber there was no danger OF the
I.akme sinking. The North Fork start
ed to tow her to this port but the task
proved beyond the North FORK $
strength, and the tug Sea Rover was
sent to bring in the derelict. The ex-
tent of the damage sustained by the
Lakme will not be known until the car
go is discharged and the vessel placed
on the drydock. The Lakme is now at
Hunters Point.
