FILING OF PROTESTS
OBJECTION TO DUMPING ALONG
ROCK CREEK VALLEY.

Charles Ffoulke, president of the Ma
tional Society of the Fine Arts, and George
A. King an attorney, have filed protests
with the Commissioners against the dump
ing of ashes and refuse along the George
town shore of Rock creek. Presiden,
Ffoulke considers this practice an outrage.
He declares that as Congress has appro-
priated $1,000, to be expended in invest-
eating the treatment of Rock Creek valley,
his society has naturally believed that
pending the investigation nothing would be
done to initiate against the proposed i'm
provement.
Mr. Ffoulke states that he visited the
scene of the dumping several days ago and
witnessed wagons bearing the letters
pc" on them dumping ashes and refuse
both unsightly and offensive.
When the matter was referred to Com
missioner Morrow he made the following
motion, which has been approved by the
other Commissioners:
Il move the writer be advised that the
only wagons which are dumping in the val
ley Of Rock creek, the Jumping of which
could be stopped, are those using the south
bank of the creek. approximately On the
line of o street; all other dumping being
done is on private property, and the Dis
trict has no control over the matter, ex-
cept that it can prevent material being
dumped into the creek bed, and dumping
IS being prevented there.
Value of Street Sweepings.
With reference to the dumping of street
sweepings on the south bank of the creek
within the lines of o street, it is believed
that this dumping should not be interfered
with until such time the Commission
ers determine upon what recommendation
they will make to Congress as to the treat
ment of the valley of the creek. which rec
concentration the Commissioners will SUBJ
NIT to Congress at the beginning of the
next session of that body, under the au-
thorlty of an appropriation contained in the
last District appropriation bill. The ma
terlal that is being thus dumped is of such
character as to make ii desirable to have
II in the valley of the creek as soil and
while il may have to be graded away in
case the open valley treatment is adopted
the value of the material will equal the
expense of grading it, and ii is believed
TO be worth saving for that purpose
ION the o.her hand. IL Congress decides
in favor OF the closed conduit treatment
the objection to the dumping at this point
would be Immediately removed, as the ma
terial would not have to be handled again.
The writer should also be advised tina,
the Commissioners recommendation will
depend upon Investigations which are now
being carried on, under the appropriation
above referred to, and that before they ar
rive at any decision the advocates OF every
proposed treatment of the question will be
given the fullest opportunity to express
their views at public hearing"

THE POLICE COURT.
$7 and Costs the Price of a Meal for
 Robert Holland.

Officer Timothy J Hickey yesterday discovered a new brand or the effects of too much liquor. He called it a dancing drunk, and in the city court to-day it responded to the name of John Horan. Officer Hickey said the man was dancing on the sidewalk at the junction of West Main and North Willow streets when he saw him. He tried to stop the man from dancing, but his attempts were futile. The man would dance, though he was not able to stand alone, he was so intoxi- cated. A fine of $7 and costs were imposed by Judge Burpee.
 Robert Holland, an empioye on the Roger Bros, refused to pay for his meal at the Welcome restaurant. He was also intoxicated. At first he thought he would pay, but he recon sidered. However, it cost him $7 and costs. He was never before in court.
 Michael Lyons violated the proba- tion law by not paying or reporting, so the sentence was revoked and he was committed to jail. The case against Edward l.. Heilmann for keeping a disorderly house was settled on the payment of s25.

 Last evening about II o'clock an Italian, while walking along South Leonard street on his way home, was struck on the head with a stone which inflicted rather bad wound. The stone was large one and struck it's victim with so much force that 1t went crashing through his hat Although the force of the blow stunned him, he was not knocked out, and after pull ing himself together, he returned to Smiths drug store, where his injury was looked after. He said that he could not account for the incident. He declared that he Had no fight with anyone of late, and could give no req son why anyone should wish to in jure him. But whoever hurled the stone evidently intended that 1t should do some damage, for it was we'll directed and if 1t had landed on the mans forehead he would un- doubtedly have been badly hurt. He said when he turned to look whence the stone came no one was in sight. The man refused to give his name.

We know where the trouble is. If Waterbury had an engineer ar city surveyor that would simply carry out the orders directed to him by the aldermen and the board of public works or the mayor. as tfe chsrtsr pro- vides. there woul1 not be a bit If trouble here. but when the tn li-er insists on being the whole push ard feels hurt fl anybody questions his right to do as he pleases, then I say any citizen has a right to object and remind the mayor that somebody .s usurping the powers whica the peo- pie intrusted to him. MIns you, I nave nothing against Mr Cairns in the ca- pacity Of city surveyor, nut when | see him acting as mayor, board of pub He works and aldermen without let or hindrance. then I want to raise my voice and say that it Mir Cairns can continue his tactics with Mayor Thoms and his boards there is no difference In either administration. That's an I have to say and that is the sum and substance Of all have ever said or thought about Mfr Cairue. I want te have him stay where be belongs. and If he is rot willing to do that, | claim it Is the duty of the mayor to restrain him, and If the mayor nrziects to do that claim it Is not onEy the rirkt but the duty of every citizen 10 tel his hcnor that be is not doing the square thing

OSHKOSH STOPS
AN |NTERURBAN

Oshkosh, Wis, Jan. 18.-The inter
urban line of the WinneIbago Traction
company between Oshkosh and Nee
nah was badly crippled yesterday as
the result of city officials of Osh-
kosh cutting the high potential wires
which extend from the power house
to the city.
City Electrician Roche, backed by
the city attorney and the mayor, cut
the wires at / o'clock yesterday morn.
ing
The action was taken as the result
of the common council ordering the
high potential wires removed from the
streets.
The council passed resolution on
removal, but the traction company
failed to take any action. They were
given 80 days and an extension of
time, but made no effort to comply
with the demand.
Tuesday evening the matter was
called up again before the council with
the result that the city attorney was
instructed to enforce the resolution.
After consultation with the mayor, or
ders were issued to that effect.
Three wires were cut in the vicinity
of the city hall. This stops the trans
mission of 5000 volt current but it
has not entirely stopped the inter-
urban traffic as the line is being oper-
ated on a poor schedule by the city
current. The city line is operated on
its own system and has nothing to do
with the interurhan. 1t does not af-
feet the city system at all. Cars are
running to Neenah every two hours
or about that when they usually make
the trip every hour.
No action has been taken by the
traction company except an effort
was made to connect the wires, but
the linemen were stopped by police
officers.
