BATTLE COMING IN
COUNCIL OVER
ASH ORDINANCE
MOVE WILL BE MADE TO AMEND
MEASURE so AS TO PERMIT
DUMPING OF ASHES IN AL
LEYS.

There Is a battle coming in the
common council over the ash collec-
ton ordinance adopted early In the
year. This provides that ashes and
rubbish must not be dumped in alleys,
but must be kept in receptacles with
in the yards and collected thence
weekly by the department OF public
works.
There has been a great deal'of OBJ
lection from the outlying wards and
number Of the aldermeV are getting
ready to start movement for repeal
Of the ordinance. in part. Herman f.
link, the president-to-b Of the new
council. is one of those against the
plan.
Il voted against this amendment
and | think now that it should be re-
pealed," he says. This sentiment Is
echoed by many other aldermen.
1T has worked quite well In the
Seventeenth ward" says Aid. Korte. OF
that ward. II find that many people
still put things In the alley but think
| in time 1t will work out satisfactorily
as people get used TO 1t. Those who
now litter up the alleys will be asham.

opposed TO 1t. The people do not want

1 The latest communication TO the
council on the subject is from s. r.
Werner, No. 3S5 Canton-ave., who adj
dresses his letter to The City Ia
thers.' He declares that the people
have a right to use their alleys as
they wish, and says that the plan OF
keeping ashes and rubbish in the
yards makes the latter unsightly.
The old ordinance forbade placing
ashes or other rubbish in alleys, but II
was never observed and the depart
ment of public works made a practice
OF cleaning the alleys two or three
times a year in most portions of the
city, and not more than a half dozen
times year In the most thickly set
tied districts. BY suggestion OF the
Beard of Commerce, the weekly col
lection plan was tried first in the two
central wards. and then spread over
the entire city.
Judge Phelan asked Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Lawson TO look VI

strongest opinion Is one by Justice
Campbell In which he says that ALLEYS
are held subject TO a modified super
vision and liable TO be used for drain
age and other urban services, under
municipal regulation, but intended fol
the convenience OF adjacent property
and not for general travel or passage
like street = = The alleys must
be regarded as intended only for theii
legitimate uses as private easements
subject to appropriate municipal rules
and burdens for the convenience o

Other judicial decisions tending e
the same point are also quoted.

under the police power OF the city. OF

and rubbish in alleys is unsanitary.

GUMLEY, GUILTY,
DRAWS $40 FINE

After many adjournments. the trial
OF Stuart Gumley, formerly a chauf-
feur In the employ Of Goldberg broth;
ers, j. E. and A. l., on charge OF
being drunk, was finally held In police
court Monday morning, and resulted
in the defendant being found guilty
by a jury. Justice Stein deferred sen
tence until afternoon, though he an
nounced his intention OF imposing
fine OF $50 with the alternative OF 80
days In the works.
Gumley's arrest was one OF the ex-
citing features OF riot which nearly
resulted In the serious injury OF the
Goldbergs at the hands or mob near
the city hall about a month ago. The
Goldberg automobile. In charge OF
Gumley, had collided with a street car.
Someone told the Goldbergs and they
went to the scene OF the accident.
Gumley was found sitting In the ma
chine. which had been put out OF com
mission. and which stood on Griswold-
St, near the city hall, surrounded by
curious crowd. Gumley was dis
charged on the spot. but refused to
leave the machine until he was paid
$50. He was offered $40. which he
refused to accept. Later the amount
was raised to his own figure, but be
then refused to accept any sum. 1t Is
said, nor would he leave the ma
chine.
A big crowd collected and. encour'
aged by Gumley, 1t was alleged, sew
eral took sides with him against the
Goldbergs, who were subjected to all
sorts of indignities. The arrest OF
Gumley by Sergt. Dornbrook only
added fuel to the flames and both A.
l.. and j. f. Goldberg were badly used
before they were rescued.

Uncle Remus's Magazine For
March.

The genial personality of Joel
Chandler Harris is in evidence on
every page of Uncle Remus's Maya
zine for February, which is in-
cidentally perhaps the best balanced
and most interesting number of that
publication yet issued.
Uncle Rem1s himself is repre-
sented by three characteristic
pieces of work-the account by
Mr.. Billy Sanders of his visit to
the White House to dine with the
President; an editorial essay, "Con-
cerniBg Books and Critics" and an
Uncle Remus rhyme. The three
contributions are remarkable
demonstration of Mr.. Harris's yer
satility as a writer.
The fiction of the number is by

value and intense human interest
