Mr.. LODGE NAY PRESIDE
Likely To Be Temporary Chairman
of Chicago Contention.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. April 23.-That Senator Lodge
will be temporary chairman of the Republican
National Convention is regarded here as almost
assured, although no definite decision has been
reached. On the temporary chairman devolves
the duty of sounding the keynote" of the con-
vention. as well of the campaign. and there
is a strong feeling among the friends of Secre-
tary Taft that there is no other prominent Re
publican well qualified for the place as the
Senator from Massachusetts,. VINO recently de-
livered a speech of exceptional tact and ability
in the convention of his own state. There has
been rumor in circulation that Senator Bev-
eridge, of Indiana, might be temporary chair
man, but this IS regarded without foundation

GARBAGE DUMP WASTE
STRANGE CONTRACT MADE
CITY Pays, 1t Is Said, to Get at Its
Oun Land.

Charges of reckless waste were made against
some one in the Tammany administration of the
Street Cleaning Department at a meeting of the
republican district committee of the 23d As
sembly District. The charges came from the
alleged payment by the city of IS cents a cubic
yard for the privilege of dumping garbage and
street refuse on its own land.
There Is a small parcel Of land under water
at Hist street and Riverside drive, just south
of Fort Washington Park. For five years the
city has been dumping this land and paying
to one Charles Conway 1S cents cubic yard
Last year this made a bill of nearly $4,000
which Conway collected. Those who have in
vesttgated the subject for the Washington
Heights Taxpayers Association say that while
the exact figures not known. the bill which
Conway has collected every year amounts to
that much more. making in all $4,000 which
the city has paid fo- the privilege of dumping
on its land.
The Washington Heights Taxpayers Associa-
tion has maps in its possession which show
that the city the property for the dump
ing on which it pays money. According to Com
missioner Crowell, in letter to the special COM
mittee Of the taxpayers association, the city
pays IS cents a cubic yard for dumping refuse
on the property in question. which will, If it Is
ever filed in, become part of Fort Washington
Park Conway says, according to members of
on strip of land about IA inches wide and
about 200 feet long, which it is necessary to
cross reach the dump.
On the other hand, it is held that IL is not
necessary to cross any 200 feet of land to get
to the dump. there numerous avenues of
access more than 200 feet apart
Mr. Conway is ex-policeman and IS credited
with having much influence with Tammany Hall
But little is known of Mr. Conway on the
Heights.
The special committee of the Taxpayers AS
sociation, headed by ex-Alderman Grifenhasen'
took up the subject with Controller Metz.
When Mr. Metz heard of the case he became
exceedingly wroth. He called engineer I'M
medately and put the case in his hands for in
vestigatton. The engineer. 1t is understood. has
made a report to the Controller. but the Tax
payers' Association is still awaiting this report
from the Controller.
Last night at the meeting OF the Republican
district committee of the 23d Assembly District.
Ex-Alderman Grifenhagen called the attention
of the law committee to the charges OF graft
which had been made in connection with the
affair. The subject discussed at length and
was left with the law committee for further In
vestigaton.

The evidence in this case shows

Court having issued its process had
something else to do besides writing
him in response to his telegram.
And inasmuch as the process of the
Court had gone forth it was his duty
to obey it. If he saw fit to accept
the advice of his attorneys and his
sureties and subordinate the Courts
