CLEANUP CRUSADE
OPENS IN CAPITAL
CONTINUED from First Page.)

O'Clock this morning. This committee
will endeavor to have the bulk Of its work
completed by Wednesday,.
DR.. Woodward today mailed to each
delegate on the central committee let
ter requesting that they endeavor to have
the association represented by them do
nate not less thap SIS for meeting ex-
penses and that, N addition, they circu-
late a petition for funds among citizens
residing in the territory represented by
the association. g..
1t is expected that by Wednesday 81 900
or more will have been raised and this
amount, 1t is estimated, VIII be sufficient
to meet all expenses incurred. According
to a statement this afternoon by Treas
urer John Joy Edison, approximately 800
has been paid in.
The bulk of the funds to be raised will
be expended in providing for the removal
of excess waste material collected, and
with the use of g. number of donated
teams in addition indications are that
the problem of disposing of rubbish will
be worked out without difficulty.
Reports received by the executive COM
mittee are to the effect that great many
citizens are paying for the removal OF
waste material, where there is consid-
able quantity of it., from their own
premises. This plan. generally followed,
will greatly facilitate the work of the
committee.
All of the inspectors of the health de-
partment today were provided with
spectors will investigate many Of the COM
plants received from citizens concerning
nuisances and places about the city that
need cleaning up.
Volunteers Investigating Alleys.
It is expected a. meeting of the execu-
tive committee, which will consider all
complaints that are of an unusual ma
ture, will be called for tomorrow or
Wednesday. The biggest ptrt Of the
work connected with the campaign will
come after Wednesday.
In fact it is expected that very few
teams will be sent out to collect refuse
before Wednesday, as the first two days
of the week will be occupied principally
by the campaign leaders with finding out
where rubbish has been stored and In
structing citizens how to prepare the
material for collection.
Volunteer workers will be sent out at
once to investigate conditions in the al
leys, it is announced, and the chances
are there will be a report on this phase
of the campaign which the executive
committee will consider at its first meet
ing.
The one rule which leaders Of the
campaign are particularly DESTROYS that
citizens engaging in the cleanup work
shall follow is that, in casee Of doubt
concerning any matter connected with
the crusade, they shall communicate by
telephone or otherwise with DR.. Murray,
secretary Of the campaign, in the Dis
trict health Office.
Citizens are requested to clean up,
first. their own premises. and then to
notify the committee of the locations
of any nuiSances which come under their
observations. 1t is stated that COM
plainants need not divulge their names.

MEMBERS OF GERMANY's DIP
LOMATIC SERVICE.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-The entry of Amer
lean wives into the German diplomatic
corps is forbidden from now on, under
a ruling of Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H -Hollweg, which has restored
the regulation made by the late Prince
Bismark, prohibiting German diplo.
mats from marrying foreigners. In
the course of years the regulation had
fallen into desuetude. Former Imper.
ial Chancellor Prince Bernard Won Bue-
low, with his Italian wife, Princess
Maria Beccadelli di Bologna headed q
service which was largely graced by
American brides, who included Lillian
May Langham of Louisville, KY, the
wife of the late Ambassador Baron
Speck Won Sternburg and Jeanne
Luckemeyer of New York. wife Of the
present German ambassador at Wash.
ington, Count Johann Heinrich Won
BernsterR and other ambassad doresses.
Wedding to be Bar.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg has now
informed the members of the German
diplomatic service that the decision of
an official Of the German diplomatic
corps serving abroad to marry for
eigner will hereafter be regarded as
an expression of his wish TO retire
from the service.

GUARDIANSHIP
FIGHTS CERTAIN
Woe is Sure When Reor-
ganization Comes in Next
Congress as Northerners
are Jealous of South.
T BY E.. H. HANSON !

Washington, D. c., Dec. 4.-There
lis going to be lot of woe in the
democratic camp when the reorgani
zation for the sixty-third congress
comes. In the Roosevelt landslide OF
1904, nearly every democratic candi
date for congress in the northern
states was beaten. As a result under
the seniority system, southern demo,
Gratis moved up in tiers on all Of the
committees. Consequently today near
" all Of the good chairmanships In the
house are held by southern men, from
the eleven states in the solid south
and not only gthe chairmanships but
the first second, third and even fourth
positions in some instances.
/. In order to insure success In the con-
gressional elections two years from
now and in the presidential election
four years from now, these southerners
will be asked to make way for men
who have served only few terms
two or three at the most-in order
that the whole country may be fairly
represented in the house.
About the two finest chairmanships
open because of the retirement Nof
members, are those on the committee
on agriculture and the committee on
foreign affairs. Captain Lamb of Vir-
ginia, chairman OF the former, was
beaten. Five southern democrats, be-
ginning with Lever Of South Carolina,
follow in order named before north
ern man. The northerner who comes
first is McDermott of Illinois, who could
never land the craftsmanship of such a
committee II Lever doesn't land the
place some northern man not on the
committee may. Three southerners
follow below Chairman SulBer on the
foreign affairs committee. Sulzer re-
tires on January to become governor
Of New York. Representative Flood OF
Virginia will in all likelihood succeed
him during the remainder Of this term.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York will doubtless be renamed as
chairman of the committee on ap-
propriations. Should he leave 1t there
are six southerners ahead of the first
northern man on his committee.
A pretty fight is expected between
Representatives SABBATH Of Illinois and
Goldfog1e Of New York for the chair
manship Of the committee on immigra-

WITH MONOPOLY

Washington, d. c., Dec. 4.-Presi
dent Taft today told the delegates to
the National Rivers and Harbors con
gress in session here that he person
ally was opposed to any scheme of i'm
provement for the Mississippi river
which did not contemplate, as a pri
mary object, the prevention of floods
The president made the opening ad
dress at the congress. He favored the
Expenditure by the United States gov
ernment and the states In the Missis
sippi valley of between forty and fifty
million dollars for the Mississippi's
improvement. He said that before all
other considerations must be placed
the idea of preventing floods like
those of last spring which caused
great destruction from Cairo to New
Orleans He declared further that his
endorsement Of improvements would
be forthcoming only II the work were
placed in the hands of army engineers
So far as other waterways projects
were concerned, the president said
his approval would be lacking unless
their hackers could show as good q
case and as dire necessity as could
the Mississippi valley states.
well, concluded the president, 81
guess fifty million dollars is enough
for one morning" ~
Speech Startled Hearers.
Many of the delegates we're startled
by the presidents speech. So far as
they knew, 1t was the first time he had
recommended appropriations for
waterway improvements contingent
upon flood prevention. In spite Of the
fact that 1t apparently did not meet
the views of scores of delegates, the
speech was warmly applauded at sew.
eral places.
Takes Fling at Railroads.
Representative Ransdell of Louisi.
ana, president of the congress, In his
address charged that railroads mono.
polized river terminals and destroyed
the use of them after improvements
had been made. He quoted from Col.
Goethals, in charge of the construction
Of the Panama canal, to the effect that
three times he had seen western rivers
improved, three times the boat lines
established as result of improvement,
while the waterway commerce In.
creased by leaps and bounds, and in
every case the boat lines had been
bought by railroads and dismantled.
Over 1000 Present.
When Senator-elect Joseph e. Rams

down today in formally opening the
ninth annual convention of the Ma

he faced more than thousand dele
gates from throughout the United
States and Canada. The congress will
be in session until Thursday.

to- welcome formally the enthusiasts
for rivers and harbors Improvement
Following him on the program were
the Peruvian minister, Frederic A.
