URGES MUNICIPAL
| WASTE COLLECTION
Would Result in Large Saving
For District, Declares Su-
i perintendent Paxton.

In the belief that the municipa! col
lection of city waste would result in
large savinb to the District. J. ".
Psxtcn, superintendent of the street
cleaning department. in his annual
report, submitted TO the Commission
ers today, again recommends that an
appropriation of $4,000 be obtained
TO investigate and report on the plan.
including the preparation of speCifi-
cations and plans for the estab blish-
ment of disposal plants. At present
the work of the collection and dis
Pcsal of garba Ge, ashes, refuse. and
dead animals is done by contracts,
which expire juno 80, 1915.
1T is estimated" says Superintend-
ent Paxton, THAI the contractors for
the disposal Cf city waste have ir-
vested in collecting equipment and
disposal plants several hundred thou
send dollars, which they must have
figured on recovering from the
amounts received from tn" District
Tor the services rendered during the
fye-yeaT terms of their contracts.
In other words, the District is prob
ably paving the contractors, in addi-
tion to the cost of the work and the
contractors profit. the cost of complete
disposal plants and collection equip
ment every five years. whereas the dis
posal plants. if owned by the District.
would probably have life of forty or
fifty years. 1t is believed that the
District should at least own the dis
poeal plants. which could be operated
by the District. and the collection of
city waste could be let 20 contra ctors.
or the whole service could be let on
contract on the basis of the contractors
leasing the disposal plants from the
District
For the last two years the Commits
sioners have included in their estimates
the appropriation recommended by
superintendent Paxton, but il has not
been favorably acted on by Congress
The plan for the municipal collection
of city waste is approved by the clean
city committee. The streets in the CEN
tral part of the city. which are cleaned
daily by the Street Cleaning Depart
ment. cover an area of approximately
2Sl3,0oo square yards. The work is
done by 2l9 men.

comes one of the richest women in the
South. Williams died intestate. accord
ing to letters of administration filed. His
widow is named as the only heir-at-law.
She, therefore. comes into entire control
Of an estate estimated at $1O,OO0,00.
Mrs. Williams thus becomes one OF the
largest individual land owners in the
Urited States. She controls quarter OF
a million acres of farming, timber and
cut over lands in Georgia and Florida
She is probably the only woman in the
world who owns absolutely In her own
right a 20o-mile interstate railroad, with
its trains, stations, shops, terminals,
docks, and a steamship line.
Williams earned his vast riches by his
own endeavors. At the close Of the civil
w1r ne was penniless. He took job
chipping trees in a turpentine camp at
81 q day. He realized the vast resources
of the timber lands Of the South, and
bit by bit began to purchase holdings
OF that character. Gradually he broad
ened his field. erecting mills and dis
tilleries until he came to be known rs

stock of the Georgia, Florida. and Ala

rectors will elect her president to I'LL
the vacancy caused by the death OF her
husband. She has able and experienced

are thoroughly loyal to her interests
During the last few years Of his life

Lecture on Ownership
Of Street Railways

Congressman Robert Cr0sser of Ohio
who was Tom Johnsons right nand man
during the nine-year fight for public
ownership of the Cleveland street car
system. will lecture tonight on why
the People Should Owne the Street Car
System before the Study Club in
Economics at Ingram Memorial Church,
Tenth and Massachusetts avenue north
east.
Mr.. Crosser does not consider three
cont fares. which was the result of
Cleveland's fight, the solution of the
street car question. The equitable solu-
ton to use his own words is the transfer
Of the street car system from private
ownership for private profit TO public
ownership for the public good.

Pharaoh's Appearance.

A unique opportunity was afforded
Professor Eliot Smith OF studying the
antbropological history Of the Royal
dyUastles, and, after n lapse os more
than twenty-five centuries material has
been obtained with which to form fair
" accurate picture Of the appearance
of tho Pbaraobs. Thus Mencuhtah, the
Pharaoh Of the Exodus, was some-
what corpulent man. lie was almost
completely bald, only n narrow fringe
Of white hair remaining on the temple.
The process of embalming had been
eminently successful, the body beiug

Of the face. says Professor Eliot Smith,
recalls that Of Rameses, his father. but
the form of the cranium and the meas
urements Of the face more nearly agree
with those of his grandfather. Seti the
Great. Seti I. and Rarneses II. exhibit
in their cranial and facial features
many alien traits, curiously blended
with Egyptian characters; but in Meme
phatah the foreign element in Ms
composition ia more obtrusively shown
than it is in either his father or his
grandfather, He has the prominent,

either of his predecessors. His height
was 5 feet inches.
