DENIED By DIR. BAYLEs.
Alleged Favoritism at Washington
ASYLUM HOSPITAL.

Ernest N. Bayles, one of the staff ply
sicians Of the Washington Asylum Hospi-
tai, who Is charged by E. R. James. local
undertaken, with being aware of irregulari-
ties existing at that institution, emphatical-
ly denied the charges today in a letter Of
explanation to George Wilson. secretary of
the board of charities. who is making an in
vestigation.
The irregularity alleged by Undertaken
James consists of favoritism being shown
Hindle & Bayliss. who are also under
takers, in that the latter were given in
formation by some one ION the inside" the
moment q death occurred at the asylum in
order that they could get the business of
preparing the body for burial.
In his denial Mr.. Bayles stated that on
October II last Mr.. James called at the asy-
lum for the death certificate of Josephine
Wallace. DIR. Tobin and myself were in the
Office when he came. I handed the certifi-
cate to Mr.. James and had him receipt for
it, and he then said: There is some under
hand work going on around here, and every
body who dies must go through the hands
of HndIe & Bayliss. who are made ac-
quainted with their dying condition.

Climate Quite Comfortable.

The climate In the desert y said to be
not only endurable but quite comfortable.
At MONDAY the sun Is very hot. and 1T is
imprudent for white men to do any outdoor
labor between II and o'clock. but before
and after those hours it is perfectly safe.
and a cool breeze invariably springs up
shortly after noon. which mOderates the
temperature Under canvas awnings or
any other shelter the atmosphere Is de-
lightful while the nights are always cool,
the thermometer usually falling to seventy
degrees Fahrenheit at sunset
The sand storm and the sirocco. or hot
wind that blows occasionally. are. however.
most uncomfortable. When a sirocco comes
on the natives crawl into their tents or
find any other shelter that is available draw
their hoods over their faces and lie mo-
tionless until the ordeal Is over. Animals
turn their backs to the wind and lie down
in the most sheltered places they can find.
But 1t Is often necessary to dig them out OF
the sand at the close of storm. The ST.
roccos vary in length-sometimes only few
hours; occasionally two or three days and
nights.
Steamship communication Is now open
to Timbuctoo. which Is on the southern
edge of the desert on the banks of the
river Niger, nineteen days from Paris and
800 miles by river from the Atlantic port
of Dakar in Senegal Steamers are run

GOVERNMENT TO SELL ICE RIGHTS
Opens Cutting Privileges on Springfield
Pond to Public Bidding

Springfield. Mass, Oct 27.-Eight ice cutting priv
ieges were thrown open for public bids by the
United States government here to-day. The priv
neges comprise the entire area Of Watershops pond
which is practicable for harvesting ice. and the
government requires that so annually be de-
livered II for in the arsenal and shops here
Up to last June the government made no efforts
10 secure financial profits from its holdings. AS
Investigations showed that disposing Of govern
rnent possessions not needed for its own use was
against the ordinances, this stopped The in
vestigation was instituted largely through Spring
field citizens IN fighting the so-caIled Ice Trust
which, IT alleged had taken the best locations
the pond.
In calling for bids the government It was pointed
our, was not prompted by any desire to oppose the
trusts. Brigadier General William Crozler chief
of ordnance, said We have got to consider what
Will be for the best interests Of the federal eo,,
ernment rather than for the interests Of a small
body Of citizens" ~
The government will make no effort 70 nra,-apt
any single concern getting all OF the eight bar
vesting rights. II has, however. made suggestions
by which the citizens Of Springfield can solve the
trust question for themselves either by the rUniHf
pal ownership or cooperative plans.
