INcINERAToR NOT SATISFACTORY
Lives of Operators Are Constantly
in Jeopardy

The board of public works is by no
means pleased with the new Decarie
incinerator, which has been accepted
by the city council and on which the
first payment of $4,000 has already
been made.
A. A. Hubbard, a member of the
board, is displeased with the new gar
bage crematory almost to the point of
disgust and said so yesterday after the
board had made its first inspection of
the plant. When he heard of the fatal
ity occurring at the plant yesterday
afternoon he was indignant.
"That is what we expected" said Mr.
Hubbard in discussing the accident,
when we were out there this morning
all three of us agreed that it was a
most poorly arranged affair, as far
as safeguarding the lives of the per-
sons who are compelled to operate it is
concerned. / made the remark at the

DECISION IN RUBY CASE
Government Officials Class Artificial
Productions for Customs Pur-

BY Associated Press.

pSSNS UIhI INdhhId al SlOUGS

NEW YORK April A decision
which the precious stone dealers have
been awaiting with some anxiety was
REACHED yesterday by the board of
United States appraisers in the recon-
structed ruby case. The board sus-
tained protest against the action OF
Collector Stranahan who classified
artificial rubes as manufactured ar
ticles dutiable at 20 per cent. In the
boards decision the articles are classed
tor customs purposes with natural
rubies, and are dutiable at 10 per cent
1t is supposed that the ruby case will
affect other kinds of precious stones,
including emeralds.
The dealers in natural rubies have
argued that if the government should
classify artificial rubies with the nat
ural product the trade in the latter
would suffer. Unscrupulous dealers, it
was contended, would be enabled by
such classification to sell the product
of the factory as natural rubies.
General Appraiser Sharrett wrote the
opinion in which he said that recon-
structcd rubies are composed of the
same chemical constituents as the
natural stones-oXide of chromium and

MINERS DEMANDS
TO BE MODIFIED
BELIEVED OPERATORS WILL
MEET HALF WAY
Mitchell Seems Pleased to Know That
Roosevelt Will Not Interfere.
Few Bituminous Men at
Work
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April At was the
general belief tonight of those who are
closely watching the situation about
the anthracite miners headquarters in
this city that the miners have definite
ly decided to modify their demands
and will present them to the operators
probably tomorrow. Some of the mem-
bers of the committee privately ad-
mitted before coming TO New York
for the present negotiations that the
original demands were greater than
the miners really expected to get, and
that the leaders could afford to trim
them down and still leave the mine
workers enough to be satisfied.
1t is believed that if the operators
would meet the men halfway on some
of the demands they have made, such
as the reconstruction of the concilia-
ton board, an eight-hour day and an
increase in pay for some classes of
labor, the miners would seriously con-
slider the proposition of renewing the
conciliation boards award for more
than one year. The miners have as
serted that they would not bind them
selves for an agreement for three
years.
President Mitchell is devoting almost
as much time to the situation in the
bituminous fields as he is to the hard
coal regions. When he was informed
that President Roosevelt had declined
to interfere with the soft coal troubles,
he showed great interest and inquired
if the text of the presidents communi-
cation had been made public. He re-
fused to comment on the presidents
action, but he plainly showed he was
much gratified at the stand the presi-
dent has taken.

STAMP FRAUD IS
BROUGHT TO END
NEW YORK LETTER CARRIERS
TRAPPED
Carry on Smooth Scheme for Defraud=
ing Government by Using "Post-
age Due" Stamps-Three Men
Under Arrest
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Three letter
carriers of station B at Attorney and
Grand streets We're arrested last night
by postal inspectors. charged with
working a new swindle. The men are
George Davidson, William c. Spencer
and John j. Mahoney.
The alleged fraud consisted in afIiy-
ing Cancelled postage due stamps for
ten cents to letters from foreign coun-
tries after removing the foreign stamps.
The carrier then collected the face of
the postage due stamp from the re-
ceiver of the letter. Sometimes the
same game was worked with foreign
letters that lacked a stamp, and then
the government was the loser. II is
not known how widely this trick has
been played, but change in the whole
method of collecting postage due, espe-
cially on mail from Europe, is likely to
follow.
An unusually large incoming foreign
mail is handled at postal station B.
Many OF the senders of letters passing
through this branch are European
peasants and often neglect to affix the
requisite amount of postage to their
letters. So many are the unstamled
letters that some slip through the hands
of the distributing clerk and are given
to the carriers unstamped. 1t was
the other letters that brought about a
discovery OF the trick.
New York asked Budapest and Graz
COW why they did not stamp their let :
tiers and help their friends save nickels,
and Budapest and Cracow responded
that they did stamp them. Then COM
plants from New York rained into the
postoffice.
Investigation, it is alleged. developed
that Spencer, Mahoney and Davidson
were buying large quantities of can
celed postage due" stamps from deal
ers in stamps.
For these they paid 50 hundred.

TO PROTECT WASHINGTON
Artificial Island Suggested for Chesa-
peake Bay as Defense for Ma
tion's Capital
BY Associated Press.
.r,rrrNrr,rnNr

by Associated HTesS'
WASHINGTON, April The Gre
alton of an artificial island in the mid
Gle of Chesapeake bay is proposed by
the joint board on coast defense as an
absolute essential to the defense of
the national capital and the cities Of
Baltimore, Norfolk Newport News and
even Richmond.
The daring exploits of the Japanese
naval captains during the recent war
have convinced the army engineers
that it is no longer safe to rely upon
the defenses at Fort Monroe to con-
troll the entrance to the Chesapeake.
The board has concluded that a for
tress should be erected to command
the north side of the present main
channel, as well as the north channel,
and the only proper site for this
fortress would be on what is known
as the middle grounds.
The water is shoal but there is no
land above tide. and therefore the
government must dump stone into the
bottom of the bay as it did when it
built the riprops for the fort at the
entrance of Hampton Roads, until a
foundation is secured for the defenses.

sltuminous Situation

PITTSBURG, April 4.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Pittsburg
Coal company has signed the scale de-
manded by the miners, and the an
nouncement that the men would re-
turn to work at once, not more than
half Of that company's operations are
under way. This, it was said tonight,
is due to conflicting orders that had
been sent out by the contesting officers
of the local district, in which there
has been a factional fight. Patrick
Dolan, who is one of the contesting
officers of the local district, and who
was charged with holding back the
miners from returning to work, made
a statement tonight in which he de
nes that he sent any orders restrain
ing the miners, and claims he advised
them to return to work at once.

No Protection Whatever

"There are three big holes for the
dumping of garbage" Mr.. Hubbard
continued. "These holes are about
three and a half feet in diameter and
the attendant is compelled to dump the
wagon over the edge of the hole and
then shovel in the refuse. There is
nothing to protect him, nothing to keep
him from falling in.
THE board will Immediately see that
some steps are taken TO safeguard
the lives of those who work around
these holes. The only plan / can sug-
gest now is to have a good stout rope
fastened to the incinerator and let the
attendants tie themselves to this rope
before going to the edge of the hole.
But aside from this feature there
are other things about the incinerator
