STREET CLEANERS OF
NEW YORK ACCUSED
JEROME CAUSES ONE ARREST;
OTHERS EXPECTED
Recent Graft Of Snow ShoveIers May
Be EcIipsed by Disclosures in
Present Investigation
in Gotham

NEW YORK, March 5.-Following
close on the recent disclosures of graft
in connection with the removal of snow
another alleged scandal has been UNI
covered in the street cleaning depart
ment.
After an investigation by District
Attorney Jerome, which lasted until an
early hour this morning, Ralph Viccaro,
an inspector for the street cleaning
department, whose duty has been to
superintend the dumping of ashes and
refuse into the river, was placed under
arrest.
other arrests will follow, it is said,
and Commissioner Edwards, the former
Princeton football player, says that
the present investigation will surpass
the recent snow graft cases in magni-
tude.
1t is alleged that the city has been
swindled by fraudulent reports of gar
bage unloaded at the Canal street
dump. Commissioner Edwards says
that in this way the city has lost
thousands of dollars monthly.
Viccaro is specially charged with
grand larceny in the second degree. AS
an employee of the city he received a
salary of $1,000 a year.
1t is said Mr.. Edwards learned of the
alleged graft through college friend,
and it was declared that at one dump
alone the excess charge paid by the city
had amounted to $500 month.

MUNICIPAL LODGING

System

CHICAGO, March 5.-Edwin A
Brown of Denver, who is devoting his
time and fortune to the investigation
of the conditions of the poor, says
Washington shelters the worst mu-
nicipal lodging house in the United
States.
He has Just returned from the CAPT
tai, where he spent several days in
curing into the conditions of the
down and out element. He spent a
day at the municipal lodging house and
came to the conclusion that 1t Is even
worse than that of Chicago, which, he
says, he had formerly considered as
bad as could possibly exist.
II got into Washington last Satur-
day." said Brown. Il was dressed like
a working man and went to the mu-
nicipal lodging house ON Twelfth street
l found dark, badly lighted building
standing next TO police station. The
floor was dirty. The bathroom was
small and badly heated by stoves. The
bathing facilities were poor. l slept

This consisted of a stew of carrots
turnips and few pieces of meat, a
cup of very bad coffee and piece OF
bread. Afterward we were put to work
on the third floor.
1.-THE door was locked SO that no one
could leave until his work had been
finished There is no doubt that II a

Browns criticism of the Chicago
lodging house is that it is badly To-

he said, but dark inside, and heavy
wire netting ON the windows gives II
the appearance of being a prison. He
spoke of the lodging house conditions
of New York as ideal.

RATE CASE VICTORY
ENTHUSES SHIPPERS
CHICAG0ANS DELIGHTED AT
RECENT DECISION
Northwestern Interests Found by Conn
parison of Schedules to Have
Gained Advantage of
Eastern Men

CHICAGO, March 5.-Shippers here
ing won an important victory over
their competitors in New York and the
east through the decision of the inter-
state commerce commission in the Spo-
kane rate case.
Complete copies of the case, issued
in Washington, have been received, and
after a comparison of the old and new
rates the Chicago commercial inter-
ests discovered they had obtained an
advantage over New York by reduc-
ton of 16 2-3 per cent while the east
ern rates were not changed. Formerly
the rates on most commodities virtual
ly were the same from the seaboard as
from Chicago.
The reduction on first-class rates is
from $3.50 to SO, on second-class from
$40 to $2.95 and on other classes In
proportion, down to from SO cents to
SO cents on class e. Similar reductions
are made on the thirty-four commodi-
ties named in the complaint, but the
far-reaching effect of the decision is
seen in the statement that if the roads
do not readjust the rates on other COM
mobiles to intermediate points another
complaint may be filed.
Traffic officials say the decision
means a complete readjustment of rates
in the western intermediate territory
Similar complaints are pending be-
fore the commission in regard to the
rates to Phoenix, Ariz., and Reno, New,
and there are many other cities the
rates of which are made on the same
basis as the Spokane rates, namely, the
transcontinental rate to the coast,
which was fixed to meet water COM
petition, plus the local rae back.

Innocent

SEATTLE. Wash, March 5.-Lured
by promises made by land locaters
operating in Seattle, Tacoma and Bel

weeks ago.
The local United States land office

ROOSEVELT PREPARES
FOR AFRICAN JOURNEY
WILL SAIL FROM NEW YORK
MARCH 20
Smithsonian Institution Arranges Final
Details of Scientific Expedition
in Dark continent-Packing
Nearly Completed

OYSTER BAY, March 5.-Former
President Roosevelt announced today
for the first time that he will sail
from New York for Africa on March
20 at noon. He will take passage on
the steamer Hamburg.
Former President Roosevelt's first
day as a private citizen since relin-
gushing his place at the head of the
nation, was passed in a decidedly quiet
manner at his home at Sycamore Hill.
Notwithstanding the cold wind, Mr..
Roosevelt was out early and took his
daily air in the woods with much
relish.
His day was interrupted by calls
from a score of newspaper reporters
to secure interviews. Finally, he con-
scented to say a few words, and an
nounced that he would leave for Africa,
March %, on the steamer Hamburg.
Mr.. Roosevelt is enjoying an uninter-
rupted democratic life and intends to
continue to enjoy it until starting on
his hunting trip.
A deluge of letters, cablegrams and
kilograms poured into Sycamore Hill
today, bringing to the former president
the kindly sentiments of friends from
all parts of the world So great is the
number of these messages that he
asked the press today to announce that
while he appreciated these and would
like to reply to each, it is a physical
impossibility for him to answer one
tenth of them.
Final preparations are now being
made at the Smithsonian institution for
the scientific expedition.
The work of preparing and packing
the collecting apparatus is now we'll
advanced, having been carefully super
intended by Maj. Edgar A. Mearns,
the man who is to manage the expedi-
ton for the Smithsonian institution.
j. Alden Loring and Edmund Hell
Ter, the two naturalists of the expe-
dition, have been in Washington sew
eral weeks, assisting Major Mearns
with the final preparations.
Mr.. Roosevelt will go over the plans
thoroughly after he reaches Oyster
Bay, and when the party lands from
the steamer Admiral at Mombassa the
members will be ready to strike out for
the work before them with a clear idea
Of what will be done.
Gets Many Messages
Mr.. Roosevelt said also that he had
received so many letters, kilograms and
cablegrams that it would be physically
impossible for him to answer one-tenth
of them and that, while he appreciated
the sentiments expressed In the vari-
Gus communications and would like to
answer, it would be impossible to do so.
He added that he would have moth
ing to say on any subject, nor would
he attend any public functions before
departing on his hunting trip. Except
for few trips to New York city Mr..
Roosevelt said he would spend his time
at oyster Bay.
Wearing a knickerbocker suit, he
took a walk through the woods near
Sycamore Hill today.

 A majority of the speakers hearers were farmers who had come fin during the day and remained to hear the ad- dress.
 MT. Davidson was given close attention and frequently applauded. He paid a high tribute to both Senators Johnston and Bankhead terming them guardians of the liberties of the people,
 The speaker created a sensation when ba charged & combination between J. O. Thompson and Conner to control the politics of the state, as follows: Il charge there is a political combination between J. O. Thompson and Governor Conner to control both parties in this state, for their own political and personal benefit. Thomp- son tried to prevent any opposition against Conner for governor and Conner used his influence to have Thompson recognized as chairman of the republican party in Alabama. I challenge either of them to deny this charge. Both parties in this state should rise up and crush this combination"
