superintendent Cot1u, of the street
cleaning department. yesterday after
noon appeared before the administTa-
tive board at their suggestion, and in
addition to handing them his annual
report presented a report which indi-
Gated to the board that the street
cleaning department is handicapped
by an insufficient force as well as an
inferior apparatus.
For three hours Mr. Cohn explained
the workings Of his department. He
stated that the force at his command
could not physically handle the work
which the department is called upon
TO do. The apparatus is. according
to Superintendent Cohn, of the anti
quated type which might do in a
small town, but which is altogether
out Of date and almost entirely use
less in a city Of the size Of Richmond,
Introduces Maps.
in presenting his report Mr. Cohn
introduced two maps OF the city,
which showed every spot in the cor
poration which fell under his super
vision He indicated on those maps
where every alley and back yard is
located, and he showed that his men,
so far as they were physically able to
do so, carried out the rules of the
office, and carted away as much Of
ashes, refuse and other matter as
could possibly be carried away
IF we did not take away the mat
ter from hotels, restaurants, factories,
manufactures. and other big places.
We would have more time and men to
do the work around, neighborhoods,
We could take all the material left for
our men, if it were not for the big
hotels ana other places. If you pass
a rule or an an ordinance relieving
me Of this work, 1t will give us at
least twenty per cent more ground
to cover. And that twenty per cent
will mean much. For we are just
about fifty per cent behind what we
would like to do But with that much
cut off, you would have to give us
but thirty per cent more in the in
crease"
What Is Needed.
The board listened closely to every
word the superintendent said. They
are inclined to recommend to coun-
Gil that a sufficient Appropriation be
made to increase the force, and to
supply the department with up-to-
date apparatus.
In concluding his remarks, Super
intendent Cohn suggests that the fol-
owing appropriation be made for the
coming year:
Maintenance Of the department.
$36.543; necessary improvements,
$106,035; pay roll, s162,t2445, Total,
1904, 702.45
The superintendent was, on motion
of Commissioner HirsChberg, directed
TO get figures on hay and buy the
same for the next three months.

NEW YORK, Jan 28--Attorneys
for the government in the action to

over the disappearance of a cable
gram sent by w +. Corey, former
steel corporation president, to James
A. Farrell, the trusts representative
in London, in 1907, bearing upon the
trusts international pool
On the stand, two days ago. Mr..
Corey spoke of having dispatched the
cablegram to Mr.. Farrell in an en-
deavor to ascertain what price had
been charged by the Belgium repre-
sentative of the international pool
for steel rails shipped to the Harri-
man railroads on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Corey wanted to learn, he eX-
planned, if the Belgium manufactur-
ers were violating the price agree
ment entered into between all parties
in the pool
The governments lawyers were
eager to get a copy of the cablegram
to establish their allegation as to the
trusts pools. and asked the trusts
attorneys TO produce it at the hearing
today Toward the end of the day
Special Attorney General Dickinson
turned to Mr.. Lindabury, counsel to
the steel trust, asking If he had
brought the original telegram or a
copy Win MIN.

SPUR, TRACK AND TREsTLE.
Work of Erection Will Probably be
Commenced Tomorrow.

I Engineers of the Southern Railway
Company today commenced the work
OF laying off the ground at the city

SPUR track and trestle the construction
of which is to save the city about
1000 per anum.
The Southern has about ten cars
Of material ready and The work of
erecting the trestle is to begin tomor-
row provided the engineers finish
stalking off the ground. The total
cost of this improvement will be S6,
200, of which sum the City of Alexan-
dria pays S3.100 and the Southern
Railway Company donates $3,1OO
,hus dividing the expense of the work.
The total length of track and trestle
is to be 700 feet, and the total clear
ance space available for the storage
of coal will be 80 feet. Only the best
material is to be used, in the construc-
ton of the track and trestlG, which,
when completed, will have a storage
capacity of about 5000 tons of coal.
Cement is to be used for the founda-
tions. If the weather permits, :he
trestle should be complete and in ope-
ration within 30 days.
Loaded cars of coal will be run upon
this trcstle, only one man being re-
quired 10 open the floor traps on the
cars and dump the coal, which will
save the ely the cost of all handling
which is now being done by labor at
cost of about 25 cents ton. With
the trestle completed, the city will be
a position to contract for twelve
supply of coal and to store it
as fast as it can be delivered. This
will be a great convenience, in addition
to an actual saving to taxpayers of
over $1,000 per year.

EXPECT To RESUME
FIGHTING TONIGHT
Earnest Protest Against
Any Intervention by
the United States.
1900 FOLLOW MADERO.
General Angeles Joins Band-Pro-
lection Promised-Plans Formu-
lated for Attack on Palace.

11.-Fighting was expected today be-
tween the soldiers under Gen. Felix
Diaz ard the 1900 troops loyal to
President Madero, mainly for the rea-
son that Diaz, by holding off, was los
ing the faith Of his~adherents.
Those who had joined his cause were
anxious to attack the National Palace
in which Madero was enrenched, and
because Daz had not attacked the pai-
ace yesterday, there were murmurs
from the soldiers that he lacked cour-
age, and that his revolt would be
starved out, as was the case at Vera
Cruz.
order to impress the people it was
said that Diaz today would make a
concerted attack on the palace, aided
with artillery and possibly with dyna-
mite
President Madero showed himself at
the palace today and it was shown that
he was accompanied there by General
Huerto, some of the ministers, and his
brother, Ernesto Madero.
On Sunday night the President made
a hurried trip away in an automobile.
ard was known to be housed in the
castle at Chapultepec.
The report that Madero had fed or
was hiding at Chapultepec was ruse
designed to draw the fire of-General
Diaz, but it failed to work.
There Was re figltins yesterday OF
last night, ard early today General
Diaz was in possession Of me Citadel.
He was strongly fortified there. Ma
dero and his 1900 followers were in
possession of the national palace.
A clash was momentarily expected.
Both Madero and Diaz declared that
thew were averse to bloodshed, and
would like to accomplish their objects
without further fighting. The follow
ers Of DiaZ. though, are not 20 pacific,
ard is limited that unless DiaZ strikes
a telling blow at the government i'm
mcdiateiy his revolution will die of its
own weight.
General Angeles, on whom President
Madero was depending for support, to-
dav went to the arsenal, where Gen.
Felix Diaz, has fortified himself, and
ioined the Diaz revolutionists.
Felix Diaz today protested against
Intervention in Mexico.

Delegates to The Annual
Meeting Arrive in Rich

SECRETARY'S PLACE.
Many Candidates, Including Grand
Master Andrews in Race for Posi-
tion Paying $4,000.

Richmond, Feb. 1.-The square and
compass cleaned from hundred la
pels in the hotel lobbies last night,
giving evidence that the city was host
to the advance guard of the Grand
Lodge of Virginia, of Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons.
All of the grand lodge officers ar
rived early in the day, and were in
consultation yesterday with the local
committees in charge of the arrange
ments for the one hundred and thirty
fifth annual communication, which will
be formally opened by Grand Master
". L. Andrews, of Roanoke, at 1880
o'clock tonight. The feature of the
opening session will be the Grand
masters annual report, reviewing the
progress of Virginia Masonry during
the past twelve months.
Wherever two or more Masons gath
cred yesterday the most fruitful topic
was the choice of grand secretary
to succeed the late DR.. George W. Car
rington. The woods appear to be full
of candidates Of the 320 lodges which
make up the Virginia grand lodge,
about 800 appear to contain on their
rolls just the man suited for the post
Most of the names mentioned, how
ever, will never be heard in nomina-
ton.
Interest in the race grew with the
early in the day that
Grand Master Andrews will not be a
candidate for re- election, and that he
will be placed in nomination for the
secretaryship.
Seven other candidates for the sec
rearyship are already listed. They
are DR.. J. W. Egglesotn, Ben P. Owen,
Charles a. Nesbitt, James H. Price
and J. Gus Hankins, of this city; Cap
tain Ed. N. Eubank, Of Newport News,
and George w. Wright, OF Marion,
Masons agreed that the election would
develop no dark horses, and that the
Office will probably go to one of the
men named.
At ';he Masonic Temple last night
Frater Lodge, No. 53. was host OF
dinner given in honor of Grand Mas
ter Andrews and the associate officers
Of the grand lodge. The dinner was
preceded by the comforting Of Mas
lei Mason's degree under the direction
of the grand lodge working committee.
