STRIKERS MAY RESUME WORK
indianapolis Teamsters Considering
Offer of Employers.

Indianapolis, Dec 6.-With the en-
ployers offering $12 to drivers of a
single horse wagon and $14 for a
two-horse wagon, which is only 81
less per week than the striking
teamsters demand, and with federal
and local mediators active, the out
look for an early resumption of nor
NAL business conditions is bright.
The Chamber of Commerce adver-
tised extensively over the United
States that Indianapolis is doing busi-
ness as usual.
With several armed strikebreakers
to wagon, each man being paid
more than the union demands in addi-
tion to board and lodging, and with
about half the regular number OF
vehicles in service, the union leaders
announced that business could no,
long be conducted on this basis.

Colonel Gaillard, Army En-
gineer, Is Dead.
HAD BEEN ILL LONG TIME

Obstacles in CuIebra Cut Only to
Be Stricken When His Task Was
Nearing Successful Conclusion.
Baltimore, Dec. 6.-Lieutenant Colo

pital here
Colonel Gaillard had been a patient
at the hospital since Aug. II last,
suffering from a growth in the head,
the result of seven years arduous
labor in the tropical climate of the
canal zone.
He failed gradually but steadily and
for the last two months had been in
a state of coma due to the pressure
Of the cranial growth upon the brain
cells. The physicians decided some
time ago that an operation was USE
less and might hasten his death.
Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard was

graduated from West Point military
academy in 1884 and since that time
had won many honors in the engineer
ing service.
A bill was introduced in congress
last month promoting him to the rank
OF colonel in recognition Of his dis
tinguished services.
Men who worked with him said he
gave twelve hours of each day to the
Culebra cut. In addition he had
voice in all matters pertaining to en-
gineering work in the zone, to civil
administration and to the general con-
duct of affairs.
The hard work, the nervous strain.
the worry and the tropical climate
combined broke his health at the hour
of his final triumph.

Mexico City, Dec. 6.-Four Ameri

moned peremptorily before Foreign
Minister Moheno and severely repri-
manded for the groundless story that
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland asked

The correspondents were reproved
for sending out other fake stories and
were threatened with expulsion if they

OPEN PROPOSALS
FOR DISPOSAL
Commissioners Must Adopt
Some Other Method Than
One Now Employed AS
State Law Becomes IF
fective Jan. 1 Prohibiting
Dumping in Half Mile of
Residence.

Whether the city win continue 90
pay a private contractor for the re-
moval and disposal Of garbage, bufld
crematory and dispose OF the refuse
by burning It, or enter a contract
with parties who win dispose OF By
dumping it into the gulf, Is the prob
lem which will be settled by the board
o; city commissioners at noon today
when they will open bids for the to
moval and disposal Of garbage.
At present the city is paying $500
per month to L. P1Ilingtm for collect
ing and disposing Of garbage by
dumping 1T near the northwestern
limits of the city but after January
a new state law requires that no garb-
age shall be dumped within one mile
of any residence, and as a result the
cost of removing IL with teams 90
such a point viii necessarily be much
higher. The present contract expires
October 1.
Several parties will submit bids to
day and among them are three who
will offer to dump the garbage into
the gulf
The commissioners are conBider1nG
the idea OF purchasing a large tract
of land in the vicinity OF Carpenters
creek, about six miles northeast OF
Pensacola with q view to establish
ing a garbage dump at that point, the
garbage to be collected and hauled to
the dumping grounds in two auto
trucks, which win bring clay for road
building purp Oses on the return trip.
The proposed site win consist OF about
760 acres and cost nearly 1000.
The plan to build and operate two
crematories Is looked upon with favor
by the commissioners, but II is hnouRht
that a lack of funds will prevent this
method from being adopted Thomas
H. Johnson, commissioner OF streets
and public works, returned several
days ago from an inspection OF gaEb-
age crematories in Montgomery, Ma
con, Birmingham and Jacksonville. and
his report of the plants in these cities
was favorable. A representative OF the
Nye Incinerator Company OF Macon.
Ca, will arrive in Pensacola today and
will endeavor to get the commission
ers 10 adopt that conpany's plan OF
ddsposing of garbage.
The cost of towing the garbage 70
the gulf is estimated by the commits
sioners to be no less than $1,000 Der
month, but this does not include the
cost of collecting It. This. the COM
missioners say would be the highest
cost Of any of the several methods OF
disposing of garbage
Bids for the garbage contract VIII
be opened at noon today but the reg1-
lar weekly meeting of the commission
ers win not be held until 2 O'Clock this

FIGHT COMES
IN THE SENATE
Standard Oil Now Has
Practically No Competi-
ton Against Gasoline and
Kerosene Removing the
Tax on Alcohol Will In
vite Foreign Competition.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Washington, Sept THE senate
has accepted Senator Bryan's amend
ment to the tariff bill placing dena-
tured alcohol on the free list. but it is
not unlikely that the Standard OIL
Company with all it's forces, Will
fight against its passage.
Conditions now are such that the
Standard Oil Company has practical
ly no comp etition against gasoline and
kerosene and may advance the price
Of these commodities at win.
The law which exempts domestic al
coho1 from the internal revenue tax
was passed for the purpose of a GER
tain competitor but it is hedged about
with such verbage as to make 1t i'm
possible for the farmer to operate
still, and hence the denatured alco-
hol business has gone into the control
Of Standard Oil Company. Removing
existing revenue tax of $3.50 per proof
gallon will invite shipments, especial
ly from Cuba, where it is said alcohol
can be produced for less than 10 cents
per gallon from the waste products of
the sugar mills.
eDenatured alcohoss can be used for
heating, lighting and fuel in autos,
motor boats, farm engines and in every
way which kerosene and gasoline are
used. If 1t can be sold in this coun-
try for 10 cents per gallon there would
no longer be the threat that gasoline is
to be advanced to 80 cents.
This is one clear case OF applying
the Democratic doctrine of reducing
the duties on trust competing prod
ucts.
