ALEXANDRIA. Va. July %. 1908.
Much excitement was caused about 10
clock last night by the dumping of
large number of large army chests on
the street and sidewalk in front of the
home of Lieut.. W. w. Domaine of the old
Alexandria Light Infantry, on King street.
The delivery of the chests there was due
to the action of members of Company G,
10th Virginia Regiment.
Although the Alexandria Light Infantry
has been discharged from the state mi
litia. the camp chests which they have
used in past years were still in the ar
mory. When Company G, 10th Virginia
Regiment. was preparing yesterday for its
departure for Camp Taft, Chickamauga
Park. Ga, they packed their stores and
equipment in the chests of the old COM
pany About Q o'clock last night Capt.
P. ]. Murphy made a demand for the
chests. The answer was the delivery of
the chests. empty, at the home of Lieut..
Domaine of the old company.
Upon receipt of the order referred to,
Capt. Slaymaker secured all the available
boxes he could unpacked the chests and
his men got busy. After this had been
accomplished he hired wagon and had
the chests placed in the same and the
wagon was driven to the residence of
of the company, who marched up King
street. A sudden halt was made in front
of Lieut.. Demaine's residence, and in less
time than it takes to tell the boxes were
dumped into the street and then placed
on the sidewalk in front of Lieut.. De-
names home.
An order was then given to return to
the armory. The men turned about and
proceeded down King street, followed by
a crowd Upon reaching the armory the
wagon was again loaded and the men
followed it up street to Lieut.. Demaine's
residence. When the vehicle reached the
intersection of King and Columbus streets
Lieut. Domaine accosted the driver and
desired to know where he was going.
The driver said he had been instructed to
take the contents of the wagon to his.
Lieut.. Demaine's, residence. The latter
replied that if he did he would have him
arrested The members of the company,
who were then a little ahead of the We
hicle wheeled about, grabbed the chests
from the wagon and carried them to the
sidewalk in front Of Lieut. Demaine's
residence. They then proceeded to the

Miners Leader Opposes
Gon1perS' Political More

DENVER, Col, July 1s--Thomas J.
Lewis, national president Of the United
Mine Workers of America. today served
notice on Samuel GOmpers, president or
the American Federation of Labor, to
keep hands off the mine workers in q
political way. and not attempt TO use
the power of his position to win votes
for Bryan in Lewis organization
If GOmpers' contemplated circular let
ter in behalf OF Bryan attempts TO in
clude the hundreds of thousands of coal
diggers who now look to President
Lewis for advice it is certain that
Gompers win hear from Lewis in terms
unmistakable
THE cOai mine workers of the coun-

Labor leaders who are against Bryan,
Mr.. Lewis said. will undoubtedly take
up the cudgel. The United Mine Work
ers of America is the strongest. numer-
ically, of all organizations affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.

the labor movement of the United States

Sterilized in Baking.
while bread is sterilized in the cook
ing TO a certain extent" said Mr.. Wood
ward last night, "it is essential that Il
be most carefully prepared. Unclean
and unhygienic bakeries are perhaps as
dangerous as unhygienic restaurants.
Bread is a universal commodity
taken into nearly every house IN the
city. Surrounded by unclean and I'M
sanitary conditions, a bakery is a posi-
tive danger to the citizens who buy
from IT, The law is absolutely simple
on points OF cleanliness. Pans are re-
quired to be kept, clean. If they are
not so the bakery is violating the Local
regulations. This holds in relation ia
AL other ingredients. We must have
cleanliness in the District at any cost. %

Inspector Gallagher, while unearthing
conditions of carelessness in several
sections of the city. showed that as a
whole the soft drink counters Of Wash
fnEton are IN a fairly sanitary condi-
ton. and arc not in need of radical
treatment.
Fountains in all section OF the city
were examined by the inspector. togeth-
er with glasses, syrup receptacles,
spoons. etc. the purpose OF the investi-
gallon being mainly to discover the con-
dltion in which the metal holders OF
liquids were kept.
Up to STANDARD.
The majority of the places held up ic
the required standard of cleanliness and
were able TO exhibit their utensils with
out fear. Hardly any Of the places
vverc in such condition as to warrant
tho issuance of a warrant charging
them with 4 violation Of the law.
In the larger places mechanical glass
washers were in evidence, and by then
Il was possible to thoroughly rinse the
glasses after they were used

His visit yesterday to the different

the men who had been warned.
Every effort is being made by the
proprietors to comply with the regula-
tons Dr. Norris said that in some
kitchens whole closets are being torn
away and new ones being built.

Markets Pass Muster
With Flying COIOrS

That in the campaign for cleanliness
no criticism can be made OF the wash
ington markets. was demonstrated by
an inspection OF the Center and o
street markets and The stalls in LOuisi-
ana avenue last night.
Il food served in the hotels, restau-
rants and lunch rooms is not up to the
standard required by the Health De-
partment, the fault cannot be laid at
the doors Of the market companies.
On every hand was an indication that
the merchants are endeavoring to live
I'D to the regulations. Yesterday the
inspectors found not one particle of
food stuff which should be condemned.
on the other hand the meat. fruit and
vegetables were fresh and clean
Began Inspection.
BEGINNING with the market at Seventh
and O streets northwest, last night
Inspector James r. MOthershead be-
gan his tour Of investigation. In only
one instance did he ind it necessary 70
utter warning, and that was in the
case OF a colored butcher, who was ad-
monished TO keep the flies from his
wares. This man had his meat COW
cred with cloths, and promised to nave
a fan erected at once. The regulations
require that foodstuffs either must be
protected by a screen or fans The lat
ter are considered preferable in protect
ing goods from flies and insects.
The inspector called attention to vari-
nus butcher stands on which was dis
played beef, lamb. pork, and veal, the
quality OF which was beyond question
AT his request many Of the butchers
displayed their ice boxes. which are
equipped in every way for the preserva-
ton of the meat
Outside Stands Clean.
The stands outside the market were
inspected also, and the vegetables fQi
sale thereon found to be in excellent
condition.
Similar conditions were found in tho
Center Market. Here the business OF
tho day was practically concluded, and
many of the butcher stalls were closed
The meat blocks were carefully scrubbed
and the stalls as clean as the top OF q
Ching room table. Most Of the poultry
.as eucased in glass cases or els
placed directly beneath an electric fan
: a the FISH markets the FISH were found
10 be packed in ice.
Conditions are somewhat different or
Louisiana avenue but here also OF
cvcl-v hand are evidences Of a desire
on the part of the proprietors TO Observ'
the regulations. The food displayed To-
sale was fresh and protected as far a.
POSSIBLE by fans and screens.
