HAS GARBAGE OVENS
FOR TIE BAY CITIES
Salesman From Leeds, Eng.
Stops in Oakland to Offer
Incinerat0rs

OAKLAND, March 9.-Herbert Alex
ander of Leeds. England, is in thescity
a guest at the ST Mark hotel. for the
purpose OF selling garbage incinerators
to the cities of Oakland and San Fran
cisco. He is also here to explain the
difference between systems of garbag.
disposal in Europe and the United
States. There. nothing is allowed to
waste; here garbage and sewage are
not only wasted, according to the
Englishman, but form an insufferable
nuisance as well. Today he said:
.'All garbage is burned in Europe.
London has 60 of these crematories
and makes an immense profit by their
and the ashes used to make bricks
and curb stones and to pave the
streets. The heat generated runs dy-
namos which furnish light and give
power for tram cars and mills. Tin
cans and other metals are pressed into
bales and sold. Dead animals are
burned in separate chamber and
furnish excellent fertilizer. The crown
ing feature of this system is that there
is no dust nor odor
Another scheme is TO utilize the
sewage. Sewers lead to tanks instead
of to the sea. The solids are allowed
to settle and then they are pressed
into cakes and used for fertilizing or
else are distilled. In the latter case
they furnish ammonium sulplate,
which is wofth SIS a ton. This process
would net city like Oakland 500, ,0o0
yearly. Such a plant could be in
stalled here for 100000; the cost of
operating would be nominal
Alexander is here primarily. to con-
fer with the San Francisco super
yisors in regard to plant in that
city. A similar meeting with the
Oakland city officials will also be ar
ranged.

Today When Court AS
sembles at 10 o'clock

ALAMEDA, March -g-The hearing
of evidence In the case of George
Hayes, charged with having taken part
in a. percentage poker game alleged
TO have been conducted in William
Zingg's place at 421 Park street. was
finished this morning. Addresses to
the jury were II y, by District Attor-
ney Everett 81 n for the people
and Attorneys a. L. Frick and A. f.
st. Sure for the defense, and this even
ing at o'clock Justice Robert Edgar
dismissed the jury until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. when he will
read his charge to that tribunal.
Two witnesses testified this morning
for the defense. Nick Rienecker Jr.
was called as an expert poker witness.
He described the various ways in which
the game is played.
SECOND APPEARANCE
1t was Reinecker's second appear
ance on the stand during the trial. The
first occasion he testified that he
played in the game In which Hayes
participated and for which Hayes was
arrested. Rienecker declared that the
game was not a percentage game. but
was played for egg sandwiches and
whisky.
In his closing address TO the jury
District Attorney Brown made much
of the fact that although Rienecker
was put on by the defense as an eX-
pert on poker he had admitted in his
testimony that he quit the game a
loser and that some of his money had
been won by the detective who had
secured the evidence in the case. and
who was designated by the district at
torney as a .'feigned accomplicc.''
LAST WITNESS
The second and last witness called
today by the defense was Brainard c..
Brown, an officer of the Civic league
and court stenographer for the or
ganization. In answer to a question
relative to the issuance by the league
recently of a circular bulletin dealing
with the campaign being waged against
alleged law breakers, Brown said the
bulletin was not printed and circulated
for the purpose of influencing the
minds of the jurors. and that no refer
ence was made in the publication to
the Hayes case.
The Hayes case is the first of the
Civic leagues cases to come to trial
and has been in progress for six days.
