CITIZENS FILE PETITION.
Ask That Garbage Transfer Station
Be Removed.

Another chapter was written in the COM
plant column against the Washington
Fertilizer Company at the District build
ing today when the Commissioners received
a strongly worded and literally signed Pc
tition from residents of Southeast WASH
ington asking that immediate steps be
taken to secure the removal Of the garbage
transfer station of the company from its
present location at I'd and K streets south
east to q more remote and sparsely SET
tied spot. The petition was prepared with
great attention to detail and was accom-
panied by a series of Photographic views
showing first the garbage transfer station
and then the fine class Of residences In the
neighborhood. the Dent Public School and
other buildings.
THE plant at I'd and K streets is a public
nuisance and a menace to health" the Pc
titioners declare. 1--WE testify that 1t Is q
continuous discomfort day and night when
there Is any wind from q southerly direc-
tion."
The petition closes with q statement that
nothing short Of the removal OF the trans
fer station will remedy the evil.
It is probable that Commissioner Macfar-
land will refer to Corporation Counsel
Thomas for answer to the legal questions
which would undoubtedly grow out of any
attempt to compel the fertilizer company to
remove its loading station from the South
east Washington yard.

IT'S MEANING MADE CLEAR.
Communication Was Compliment
Washington School Children.

y y" IOA 0CAOUA OuA4OX0A.
At least one surprise was contained in
the regular morning mail received at the
District building today when Acting Secre-
tary Meyers drew from an envelope a
scroll. nearly one yard In length, and then
cast about him for ways and means to
decipher the imposing array Of pot-hooks
and hangers there disclosed. Japanese and
Chinese scholars were in demand about the
building for few minutes, for It could
not be determined at q glance whether the
dots. dashes, elbows. angles and smears
represented an official communication in
the language of the late antagonists OF the
Bear or Of the Celestial Inhabitants of
the Asiatic continent.
In desperation the acting secretary made
another grab into the envelope, and, Gu
reka, he uncovered another paper-this one
covered with familiar typewriter English.
Missfve No. was a letter from Governor
Mead Of Olympia, state Of Washington, to
whom. 1t seems. the letter went on first
arrival in this country. Governor Mead
had caused the letter to be transcribed
from the original into English, and 1t
proved to be a request from Torajiro Mu-
rata. mayor of Otsu City, Shiga-Ken,
Japan. to the mayor Of Washington. ask
ing that some handicrafts, drawings ETC..
by boys and girls of the grammar schools,
your city," be sent to Otsu to be used in
connection with an educational exhibition
which will be held October I'll. inclusive.
Acting Secretary Meyers has referred the
request to the board of education with the
that the samples of work
of Washington school children be forward
ed to Japan. IL possible.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispssch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 22-Some operators
think that the upward movement has al
ready begun to wane. Men IN close touch
with those who have been largely respon-
sibie for the upward movement said today
that In their opinion the present reaction
would be only moderate and that prices.
particularly for the lower priced issues
would 60 considerably higher. They pro-
fessed to believe that the campaign for
higher prices was only we'll under way. and
expressed the opinion that at frequent inter-
walls the street would ysceive announce
ments Of increased dividends and Of add
tional issues Of stock on favorable terms to
the shareholders.
Railroad men were confident that in due
time both the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern would offer more stock to
their shareholders on the same favorable
terms which have been given in the past.
They did not look. however. for an issue by
either Of these two companies in the Inn
mediate future. 1t was understood that the
lines which are now being constructed by
ern are being built under a contract which
provides for q division of the total ex-
penses between the two companies. 1t was
assumed by railroad men that temporarily
part, at least, of the cost OF this con-
structton would be paid out of the surplus
earnings Of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. but that in due time the treas
ury of each company would be reimbursed
by the proceeds of stocks to be issued. as
already Indicated.
Well-informed western railroad men did
not credit the rumors in circulation that a
syndicate for $10O,OO0,OOO was being formed

Damage Caused by Storm Early Last
Evening.

Evening.
The storm which was In evidence last
evening shortly before O'Clock caused
considerable damage throughout the city,
especially to awnings In front Of stores
and the street car schedules were disar-
ranged. The electrical display was of I'M
usual brilliancy.
The roof of the temporary office Of the
Thompson-Starrett Construction Company
located on the platform over the sidewalk
on the east side Of 18th street between F
and G streets was torn away by a terrific
gust Of wind The roof was carried onto
the awning Of the Ford & Graham lunch
room next door, and plunged through q
large piate-giass window.
d. D. Smith, one Of the foremen Of the
construction work; F. E. Knight. a time
keeper, and q. Fowler. a Waterman, were
In the building when the roof was blown
of. but they escaped injury. After the
shelter was removed those in the ONCE
were drenched by the rain. Persons in the
lunch room thought that lightning had
struck the establishment, and several of
them rushed in the direction Of a long mir
ror in the rear Of the room. mistaking it
for door. The roof was replaced this
morning. The damage, 1t Is estimated
was about 500.
The awning and frame in front OF Ed
ward P. Hazleton's bicycle store. 40 10th
street. was blown down during the storm,
breaking the plate-giass window in the
front Of the store The damage was about
$50.
Lightning struck the hagpole on the Nc
Gill building, G. street near 9th street. but
the pole was protected by lightning rod
and no damage resulted.

feeding the dead. The ceremony Ii consid-
cred = very important one by the Celes-
tials.
The ceremony at the cemetery began at
pm. the start having been made about
an hour earlier. The preparations for the
event were made several days In advance.
Many Of the Cinnamon prepared tempting
delicacies intended to appease the hunger
OF their deceased comrades journeying to
the far-away land.
When the start was made 1t looked as
though the party was OF for a picnic rath-
er than to engage In a solemn ceremony.
The members were dressed in their best
costumes. and in a carriage were baskets.
boxes and bottles, the supplies including
chicken. rice In large quantities, oranges,
bananas. q peculiar brand Of Chinese wine
and other things.
On their arrival at the cemetery the food
was carefully placed on the various graves
of Cinnamon. Small cups were filled with
wine, and plates well laden with chicken,
rice and fruit set on each grave.
Punk was lighted over each grave and
burned. Moy Gin conducted formal rites
over each grave. q bonfire Of paper OF Pc
culiar texture was lighted.
