HUMANE SOCIETY
STARTS CRUSADE
Will Compel Transfer Companies to
Use Two Horses on Every
Heavy Wagon.

A vigorous crusade has been started by
the Washington Humane Society to COM
pei express and transfer companies.
which are now, rushed on account Of the
influx Of people from summer vacations.
to use more than one horse on their
heavy delivery wagons.
This season of the year Is always a
busy one for the transfer companies. and
there have been many complaints about
single horses being compelled to pull the
heavily loaded wagons. piled high with
trunks and packages.
Yesterday John p. Heap. secretary OF
the Humane Society. issued general. In
structions to the ten agents in the en-
ploy of the organisation to use their ut
most efforts in bringing about abetter-
ment of conditions. The society in the
past has found 1t difncult to cope with
the situation. Drivers have been warned.
but without result. Managers Of the large
express and transfer companies have
been interviewed. and they have given
their written promise to, furnish addition
al horses during the busy season. but as
viewed from subsequent conditions they
evidently failed to keep their word.
The agents this year will conduct a
more vigorous warfare than ever before.
They will warn the drivers. interview the
managers, and II efforts along these lines
Of attack fail, they will resort to their
power Of arrest.
THE wagons. in addition to being
heavy themselves" said Mr. Heap last
night. ARE frequently loaded as full as
possible with ponderous trunks and
other baggage. One horse il expected
by the arrangements to pull such loads.
It is an unhumane practice, and We are
determined to put an end to It.
Every year. at this season. We are
confronted with the same situation. In
the past We have not been very sue
cessful. but this year we are looking for
desired results Our agents are on the
qui vive, and IL conditions are not ameli-
GRATED within a short time. prosecutions
Will follow. 1t is likely that some cases

PLANS BI-WEEKLY
|. CLEANING OF CITY
Fall Campaign of Committee Is Dis.
cussed at Meeting in Dis
trict Building.

Plans for a fall cleanup campaign In
Washington were made at a meeting Of
the clean city committee in the board
room of the District Building yesterday
afternoon. Chairman W. H. Richardson
urged that the committee take prompt
action by suggestion to, the people and
the commissioners, to insure a thorough
sanitation of the city before cold
weather.
A committee was appointed to discuss
with the Commissioners the institution
of a bi-weekly gathering of all refuse
instead of a weekly one as at present
The question of the reprehensible
garbage can and the damage 1t does by
attracting flies. was discussed. The
housewives point of view was presented
by Mrs. E. G. Perry, Of the Anthony
Suffrage League, who stated that the
city should provide paper bags TO fit in
side the cans. This prevents the foulinS
of the receptacle and makes the refuse
easier to handle. Such a system Is now
in use in Boston. and the advisability Of
introducing II into Washington will be
urged upon the Commissioners by the
committee.
Members of the committee copcurred in
the opinion that much OF the refuse
which accumulates along sidewalks Is
due to carelessnefs. The throwing of
waste paper, fruit skins, and other refuse
about the streets Is illegal, and the COM
mittee will take steps to see that these
regulations are enforced.
