DETECTIVE EVIDENCE

In the Circuit Court Friday be-
fore Judge F. E. Bowser, of Warsaw
and jury Francis M. Lemert, Of Tee
garden, was tried on a charge Of sell
ing intoxicating liquors without a L.
cense, the village of Teegarden being
in dry territory. The States case
rested on the testimony of one, ia
cob Yochum, of Laporte, Ind, who on
cross examination admitted he was q
self constituted detective and who
said he expected to get mileage and
witness fees out of the case anyway.
The evidence of Yochnm was contra
dicted by the defendant, Lemert, and
by some other circumstances and the
jury could not and did not believe
him and acquitted Lemert after two
hours deliberation.

MINNEAPOLIS PLAN
Easy to Handle and Haul to Crema-
tory Where All Goes to
Ashes-No Flies or
Moisture.

Minneapolis is blazing a new trail.
She has found out that no city that
wants to be clean city can neglect
its garbage handling, and she has
gone to work to set pace for the
rest of us. The real beauty of it,
too, is that she has solved the gar
bage problem-or more nearly solved
1t than has anybody else, up to date.
She may be said to stand first in
the list of cities in America in the
solution of sanitary disposal of ref
use and other towns are sending del
igations to inspect this garbage sys-
tenn. Winnipeg has already pat
termed after it.
Nearly four years ago this cam
paign to handle garbage without
nuisance was started and TODAY il is
pronounced an unqualified success.
No more are there foul, maggoty gar
bage cans and all because a city or
dinance provides that every house
wife shall drain the garbage of all
misture and wrap it in a paper be.
fore putting it in the can. This not
only insures a clean can but the spa
ces between the paper allow the air
TO circulate and keep the garbage
from freezing and adhering to the
can in cold seasons. In other words,
heat. moisture and the fly are all
eliminated. Any kind of paper can
be used but as rule there is plenty
of wrapping paper that comes around
packages from the grocer and butch
er. as well as old newspapers. tina
the housewife is glad to get rid of.
That all this may be done properly
the Board of Health issues a print
ed card of directins for the house
wife and advises that it be. hung iii
her kitchen.
But this is only an important in
PRODUCTION to the story of the gar
bage system which is being adopted
by large city as a unit. When
the garbage man comes around to
collect his quota he finds a clean
can, he is not faced with wet and
dripping refuse and in cold weather
he does not take a pick and batter
the can in order to lift the frozen
material. He merely loads the pre-
pared garbage into a steel box, some
what resembling a BATH tub, and
which has one hundred feet capacity
He hauls this to a central transfer
station, where the tanks are lifted
off the wagon truck by means of an
electric hoist and placed upon flat
cars which convey them to the Gre
matory or disposal plant. A train
of several cars soon reaches the Gre
matory just outside the city, where
the boxes are lifted from the cars by
an electric hoist and dumped direct
ly into the fire. In other words,
from the time the garbage is rolled
in paper by the housewife until the
ashes are taken from the fire of the
disposal plant there is no necessity
for the refuse to be handled by hand
As the paper used to wrap the pack
ages is as a rule, waste material,
this too is disposed of and the sani-
tary condition of the cans and re-
duction in bulk of the waste, be-
cause drained, make the necessity
for collection less frequent saving
in money to the city.-From "Sol-
wing the Garbage nuisance" in June
