CITY ATTORNEY TO DECIDE

Protests lodged with Mayor Ainslie
yesterday by property owners who on
pose the plan proposed by the Admin
istrative Board TO convert tho old meat
market on Sixth Street into q NUM-
cipai garage, caused the Mayor TO adj
dress communication to City Attor-
ncy Pollard. asking for his ruling on

into effect. The City Attorneys opin-
ion is expected to-day or Tomorrow
Under the amended charter. the adj

erred to the Administrative Board
HE power OF creating markets. and,
therefore. by Inference, the right to
abandon markets. 1t appears. still rests
solely with the Council 1t was adj
mitted by both the Mayor and mem
bcrs of the board yesterday that the
question of authority as IL touched the
proposed plan was not entirely clear,
and the matter Will rest until the CITY
Attorney interprets the charter
Owners OF property adjoining and
opposite the old meat market appeared
before the Mayor yesterday with OBJ
JectionS TO its conversion Into a gar
age. Such use OF the building, they
said. would seriously impair the value
OF their property for business purposes.
For Free Sites.
The Administrative Board yesterday
adopted the following resolutions:
BE ii resolved by the Administrative
Eoard OF the city OF Richmond, That
the Mayor be requested to recommend
10 the Board Of Aldermen that il direct
the City Attorney 10 draft the neces-
sary amendments to the State Consti-
tuition so as to authorize the city to
give free sites and exemptions from
taxes to manufacturing Industries for
Il certain period. and the consequential
amendments to the city charter and
the Virginia statutes. and shat the city
representatives in the General Assem-
bly, b. requested to present these
amendments and urge their passage"
The resolution will reach the Mayor
.o-day, and will probably be sent by
him TO the meeting or the Board of
Aldermen tonight for its action. In
view OF tho fact that the city owns
little land that might be useful for fac
tory sites and could. therefore. make
such gifts only by acquiring land from
private interests, and the further con-
sldcration that constitutional amend
ments are proverbially slow, the ave-
nue. of commercial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
contemplated by the resolution seems
destined 10 stay closed for some time.

EXPLAINS RULES
FOR EXPLOSIVES
Railroad Expert Tells of Pro-
visions Made for Pub
lie Safety.

The importance OF strict nnu uni
form regulations governing the ship
ment and handling OF explosives was
discussed at Il meeting OF the Rich
mond Railroad Club at Murphys Hotel
last night The principal speaker was
w. Shoemaker inspector OF the bureau
Of explosives OF the American Railway
Association. Ills topic was The In
tcrState Commerce Commission Rcgu-
latons for the Safe Transportation of
Explosives and Other Dangerous Ar
ticles."
These regulations, he explained, are
based on an act of Congress. approved
emphas size the dual responsibility In
the interests of public safety that
rests Upon the shipper and the carrier.
The Importance of the regulation may
be realized from the fact that there
are in this country more than $50 fac
tories. the combined product OF which
in the course OF a year is more than
00,000,000 pounds IF explosives. In
one year n single railroad transported
81 900. 900 pounds Of explosives. using
for this purpose 1900 cars.
Since the bureau with which Mr..
Shoemaker is connected began opera
tions. there has been very little trouble
from the shipment of explosives in the
United states, and IL is believed that
when the work has been fully develop
ed. the danger from this source will
have been reduced to a minimum.
The thoroughness with which the
campaign for safety has been conduct
ed is shown by tho fact that super
vision is given not only to the trans
portation Of dynamite. black powder
and other explosives. but 1t is now
provided that special cars shall be
used In handling any material that
gives off inflammable vapors ut or be-
low temperature of so degrees ma
terials subject to spontaneous combus-
ton; materials other than acids that
arc liable to cause accidents by fric-
ton, concussion. absorption of mois-
ture, contact with organic matter and
otherwise. Special rules also govern
the handling of compressed gases. as
we'll as the more virulent acids and
corrosive liquids.

When men are convicted of a felony in the courts of Alaska, they are sen- fenced to serve timein the psnitentiary at McN eils island, near Tacoma, Wash, and a US. deputy marshal Is delegated Co take him there. When a poor un- fortunate in Alaska becomes mentally bughouse-he is consigned Co the ssnitarium at Morningside, near Portland, Ore. As the number of the unfortunates of both classes is by no means small in the great Northland, deputy marshals find these trips toand from the peuitentiary or the insane asylum, occupy a large part of their time, and we have not yet located a single deputy who like that pant of bis iob. The distaste for taking them down is not because the hardened crim- inals are hard to manage, for they are not, for most of the jail birds from Alaska are only guilty of the terrible crime of giving a good looking squaw a nip out of a four bit flask. Most of them are simply ashamed and stick to their stateroom on the trip down, like a clam to it's shell. When Seattle is reached the deputy usually chains him. self to bis man, or chains the man to bis left arm. But there is no trouble to tell without asking which is the deputy and which is the man with the sen- tence. The deputy may not be any better looking, but be is proud and shows it, but the prisoner is ashamed and downcast. Only few old stagers are bold and brazen-they have made the trip a mum ber of tinss. Some have gone down 60 often that they recognize Che deputies as old friends. The mOuey that is DOW being spent in this way by the government would soon build a prison house right here in Alaska that would be as safe as Sing Sing.
