DESIRING ECONOMY,
CITY HEADS SEEK
A GARBAGE PLANT
Commissioners Also to Ask
an Appropriation for
Asphalt Work.

In line with their efforts toward
economy. the Commissioners, accord
ing to Major Judson, will include in
their annual estimates an item for the
preparation of plans for the establish
ment of a garbage reduction plant in

he inspected the municipal asphalt
plants Of those cities. While in Co.
lumbus he inspected the garbage re-
duction plant The cost of the main
tenance of the plant is $4,000, and the
city, from the sale of grease and other
residue of the garbage. after it goes
through a refining process, obtains a
revenue of $4,000 a year.
Under the present contract the an
nual cost of removal of garbage in the
District is $6S, 400 a year. The Washing

tract, which vas made for five years

municipal plant.

item for the establishment of a munich
pal plant, which they say will save the
District between 100000 and 314S,OO0 a
year

Crawford Paving Company holds the
contract, which began July /, 1911, and

WEDDING STOPPED,
MYSTERIOUS VISIT
ENDS LOVE FEAST
Whispered Message Takes
Man Away as Guests
Make Merry.

Seeking not heart balm, but rather
financial rec es5 a disappointed bride
to-be today poured out the details Of
shattered romance at City Hall, and
toid now the prospective groom lost his
nerve at the last moment.
The brtde-to-have-b been was Miss MARY
Vovakls, twenty-four years old and
the offending bridegroom-that- was-not.
was Antonio Tranoris, one of the pro-
prietors of the Sugar Bowl Candy Com
pany, at 73 Eighth street southeast.
Mr.. Tranoris, who is twenty-elght years
old, obtained the marriage license early
last week.
According to Miss Vovakis, everything
was In readiness for the event at the
nome OF the prospective bride, 315l NJ
street, Georgetown, last night, when
Mr.. Tranoris arrived: In fact, the as
sembled guests, nearly all Greeks. had
waited till II o'clock for him. Joliih-
cation reigned and everybody was
happy on the advent Of Mr. Tranoris,
who was attired In conventional dress
for the event.
Suddenly the scene Of Joy and fes-
ttvity was plunged into gloom when
stranger entered and after q whispered
took away the prospective
bridegroom. 1t was so sudden that It
was several minutes before those re-
regained their composure. Then
a hurried search was made, but to no
avail.
The Rev Joakin Alexoponlas, who
was present to perform the ceremony,
waited till nearly midnight for the re-
turn OF the missing principal and then
vent home. Invited guests also tarried
i'll late In the vain hope that Mr.. Tran
oris might return.
Early today Miss Vovakis, accompan-
c by friends, sought Attorney Walter
P. Plumley. She threatens a SUIT or
breach Of promise.

Assessor Richards also recommends
that the time for fling appeals be linn

January to the first Monday in April,
instead of to the first Monday in June.
Should such a change be made, he says,
1t would greatly aid in the more equit-

giving the assessors more time to inves-

EAR IN MAT MATCH
Injury Causes Harrison Goodwin TO
Quit in Wrestling Contest With
Young Englund.

While trying to escape from a scfs
sors hold which Lee Young" Englund
had secured on his head in Moline last
night, Harrison Goodwin of Quincy, in
jured his ear and was obliged to with
draw from the match, thereby forfeit
ing his opportunity To put the Moline
man TO the mat. Both of the young
sters. who are in the lightweight class,
were in splendid trim, and the match
was fast while IL lasted. 1t was at
the end of eight minutes, that the
Quincy youth, who had claims on the
state title for lightweights, was fore
ed to give up. He asked Englund for
another match, 10 be held al some
future date in Moline.
Goodwin injured his ear a few
weeks ago. in a bout in Missouri. and
as a result he has what is known as
a "caulifiower" ear. He is about ten
pounds lighter than Englund, but has
had more experience. A closer match
is locked for at the next meeting of
the lads
In the preliminaries Bylund lost a
handicap match to Nicholson, as he
was unable TO down the latter in the
specified time Of Is minutes.
