have been established by some of the
drivers of trash wagons.
The police have been asked by Stunt
Wood and by the contractor who hauls
away the trash to investigate the charges
that some of the trash wagon drivers are
selling valuable parts of their loads 10
junk dealers to their own financ al bene-
fit instead of delivering the entire load
to the contractors dump. Capt Daley
of the ninth precinct is watching the
drivers and will procure warrants for
theft for any of them who sell to junk

Supt. Wood explained this morning that
the street cleaning department IS inter

the loss of the valuable articles n tn
trash heaps will have when new con-
tract for hauling il away from the homes
is made. The contractor estimates the
amount of valuable trash he will get in
the way of old iron, old brass. old clothes
and ether substances which can be used
again, and bases his price to the d str CT

and the cost of hauling the refuse from

CONFERENCE IN L1NcoLN's INN
Library Is the Oldest and Most In
teresting in London.
'hristisn Science Monitor

From the Christian Science Monitor
A more fitting meeting place could
hardly be found than Lincoln's Inn
where the de egates of the inter national
press conference met to deliberate. The
library of Lincoln's Inn ranks among the
most interesting I'm the country. and Is
the oldest in London. 1t was founded by
John Nethersole. who gave the sum OF
forty marks in the year 1877 for thpt rur-
pose. Among the most interesting of the
books are a beautifully illuminated copy
OF the Scriptures and book of common
prayer. bearing on one SIDE the arms IN
silver OF the Earl OF Lincoln, the founder
of the inn. The arms were evidently cut
out of a piece of the Earl of Lincoln's
plate and fixed To the cover Of the book,
thus constituting an interesting link with
the earliest days OF the inn. There Is
a.sa q small museum near the library,

Weight Of q Crowd.

from Iit-bts. - ~
In<the building Of theater galleries and
grandstands the. supporting strength Of
the structure has to be carefully worked
out. This is done by multiplying the
area In square feet by the pressure which
it Is estimated a crowd exerts TO the
square foot and making the supports pro-
portionately strong At one time the
weight Of a crowd was determined at be-
tween eighty-two pounds and 102 pounds
to the square foot. but experiments have
shown this to be a great underestima-
ton. and the weight exerted Is now CAL
culated at from 123 pounds to 1873 pounds.

Herr Singer of Vienna presided at the
first sittings of the conference. The mem
bers OF the conference were welcomed by
Lord Burnham. who. after referring to
the spirit Of brotherhood and fellowship
which overstepped the boundary of ma
tionality. declared that II was for the
press to smooth the path of advance: to
teach the nations that honor was nobler
than dominion: justice grander than SOW
ereignty: the role of the peacemaker
higher than that of the conqueror. and
that knowledge was the Hottest form OF
power.

riage was a heavy leaden one, the sna!s

Might Utilize Janitors More.

Mr.. Storey also urges that the janitors
OF the public schools make minor re-
pairs in buildings, and thus allow the
appropriations to go farther than at
present.
This shop is continually in receipt of
requests for petty repairs in school build
ings which could very easily be taken
care of by the janitors. AS 1t is, my re-
pair fund is repeatedly drawn upon for
very trivial matters. If the JanitOrs
could be furnished with few simple
tools and instructed in the use thereof
by the manual training branch of the
board of education. so that said janitors
might take care of the various repair
items of very minor character which
at present cost from five to ten times
as much as would be the case IL at
tended to by them, the money so ex-
pended could be utilized in making re-
pairs of far more important nature.
and thus aid materially in taking much
better care of the District school prop
erty."
