CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
AGAIN DECIDED UPON
Teaching of Public Hygiene in
Schools Also to Be
Advocated.

Decisions favOring another cleanup
campaign here next spring and the teach
ing of sanitation and public hygiene in
the local public schools We're reached at
meeting last night of the standing
committees of the permanent clean city
organization Of the District of Columbia
Both propositions are to be considered
by the full body when it meets December
10, but that the action of the committees
will be ratified is believed to be assured
Last nights meeting was held at the
headquarters of the health department in
the Municipal building and was attended
by members of the sanitation, member
ship, publicity and finance committees.
Clean City Campaign.
1t was decided to conduct a cleanup
waged last spring under the auspices of
The Star. The clean city committee is
the outgrowth Of that undertaking.
The need of sanitation and public hy-
giene being taught in the public schools
was emphasized, and 1t was decided to
invite Capt James F. Oyster. president of
the board of education, and William NJ.
Davidson, superintendent Of schools, to
attend the meeting December 10, when
this matter will be further considered.
DR.. B. T. Woodward, delegate from the
Randle Highlands Citizens Association,
suggested the advisablity of the appoint
ment of a director of sanitation to have
charge of this work in the schools. The
suggestion, with others, will be laid before
the school authorities.
A committee on legislation, consisting
of Edgar S. Martin, supervisor of play
grounds; Walter S. Ufford, secretary of
the Associated Charities, and Albert
Schulteis was appointed to make a study
sanitary matters. This committee will
consider among other things the need Of
a biweekly refuse collection service in
the District and will make recommenda-
tons from time to time to the Commits
siOners.
Importance of Work.
w. II. Richardson. chairman of the
clean city committee, spoke of the i'm
portance of clean city work and urged
the various committees to make full re-
ports at the next meeting.

being done to increase the membership
of the organization.

AGRARIANS ARE GRATIFIED
AT CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
Provokes Laughter in Prussian
Diet by References to England's
Agricultural Prosperity.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

rOreisn correspondence OF The Star.
BERLIN, November 6. 1912
Chancellor Won BethmaEn Hollweg has
made long speech in the Prussian diet
which has been well received He graft
fled the agrarians by elaborate insistence
upon the importance of agriculture to the
state and the necessity Of its protection,
ard still more by saying that the govern
meEt had gone as far as it was possible to
go with due regard for veterinary precau-
tions-in other words, that there is no
idea Of repeating the legal provisions re-
garding the inspection of meat which
practically prevent the importation OF
frozen beef.
A reference to radical assertions con-
cerning the prosperity OF agriculture in
England was received with general laugh
ter, and Herr Won Bethmann Hollweg
| said that between 1873 and 1911, when
frozen meat was conquering the English
| market. the number Of pigs per thousand
of population had sunk in England from
Ill to 81. while in Prussia it had risen
from 173 to 423.
Opposes Suspension of Duties.
DR.. Won Bethman Hollweg said that
| Notwithstanding the disturbances in Be,-
lin-the municipaly organized sale Of for
eign meat was working in most Prus-
sian towns satisfactorily at prices far
below the ordinary market prices. He
referred with some approval to the pro-
posal that contracts for long periods
should be concluded between the towns
and the agricultural cooperative supply
societies. He announced the appointment
of special commission in the imperial
ministry of the interior.
He objected strongly to the proposal
of the temporary suspension of customs
duties, ard said that next years Prussian
estimates would make fresh provision on
a large scale for the recovery OF moor
lands and for the development Of the
system of small holdings.

This afternoon the river slowly
gained in height and by night may
reached its old mark. but this is
doubted somewhat. The expected
rise of , inches failed to materialize
in either the Grand or Gunnison,
much to the satisfaction of Commits
sioner Vedder and the officials of the
kedlands company.
The fact that the high water this
year has come almost a month earlier
than the usual high water period,
leads many to believe that a great
deal of flood trouble may be ex-
pected during the spring At Ouray
today the opinion was expressed by
many that the rivers were by no
means at their highest point if the
present weather is to continue.
News came from Delta this after
noon that little change was apparent
in the river and that no especial
trouble was anticipated. The con-
demned bridge at Delta is expected
to go out at any moment.
Several farmers all along the line
are reporting losses, although Delta
county is probably suffering much
more than Mesa at this time
At $3.50 O'Clock no forecast of ex-
ceptional rises had been received

The Citizens ticket carried DEN
yer at the polls yesterday. Mr.. Ar
mold and his associates were voted in
to office in an unequiyocal manner.
Their victory is complete and they
take possession of every municipal
position in the gift of the city.
The Citizens are to be congratu-
lated upon the sweeping nature of
their conquest. They captured ev-
erything in sight, and as a result
their responsibility for the next four
years is absolute and undivided
There is not even a remnant of the
passing administration to hamper or
embarrass them in fulfilling their
pledges to the people. They have a
clean field to themselves with none
to interfere.
'As far as the Denver Times is
concerned, it has this to say: 1t op-
posed the election of Henry ] Ar
mold and the other members of the
Citizens ticket for reasons with
which the voters of Denver are fa-
miliar. The people have seen fit to
choose Mr.. Arnold as their mayor in
spite of these reasons, and the Times
bows to the will of the majority.
The Times is a conservative news
paper. Its first interest is the well
fare of city and state. Thanks to the
positive nature of the Citizens vic

all their big guns in action, and the

The city and county officers are
somewhat puzzled over a case which
has been under their notice the last
twenty hours.
Shortly after supper last night,
Messrs. VIII and James Taylor, going
to the ice factory, found there man
who was badly battered about the
head. They took him in their car to
the Hotel Marion, on North Magnolia
street, where he had been stopping.
There with the assistance of Mr.. II. ID.

Seaboard, who rooms at the house, he
washed his wounds and summoned the

When Sheriff Galloway arrived, the
wounded man told the following story
That his name is j. L. Lynch, and he
is an engineer from New York, here
seeking to make investments. He
made the acquaintance yesterday of
man named Merrell, who like him was
a member of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, and loaned him IS.
Merrel1 invited Lynch to take a walk
after supper, and when the two were
out north Of the Seaboard and Coast
Line crossing. attacked him, beating
him over the head with rock or a
hammer and demanded his money

bleeding from his wounds. then stag
gered 70 the ice factory. where he was
found by the Messrs. Taylor
Mr.. Kidding helped Lynch to find a
physician by whom his wounds were
dressed. He had lost a good deal of
blood, but was not dangerously hurt.
Lynch then disappeared. and up to 3
p. m. had not been found. 1t is believ-
ed that he left town on one of the
early morning trains.
man answering Lynch's descrip-
ton of his assai1ant, was arrested this
morning by Policeman Mooney He
says his name is f. Fl. MerrelI, that he
is from Louisville. KY. and that he has
been in the city for three days. He
seems to be in hard luck. but is not a
bad looking fellow. and unless Lynch
shows up and testifies against him
will have to be discharged.
Sheriff Galloway is working on the
case, but as usual doesn't say much
about it.
