SEPTEMBER a IS BIG
CLEANUP DAY HERE
Volunteer Carts Requested-eVery.
body and Father Work on That
Monday.

The big cleanup day is scheduled
for Monday, Sept. l4th, and while it IS
fact that Algiers has always been
looked upon and recognized authOrita-
lively as the cleanest district in the
city of New Orleans, nevertheless We
have our dirt as we'll as any other dis
trict, and it is up to us to get it out
of the way.
Dirt" does not necessarily mean
filth; it is defined as matter out of
place" and il is this matter out of
place" old tin cans, pieces of discard
ed furniture, old lumber and rubbish
of any kind that affords hiding places
for rats. that must be removed. Old
| hay and straw form nests for the rO-
dents and it is all of this kind of ma
terial that will be hauled to the dump
on Monday week.
In cleaning up on September 14th
we will require a good many more
carts than will be allOtG,4 % us by the
city, consequently the Fifth district
will of necessity depend upon vOlun-
teer carts and wagons for this day. If
YOU can spare a cart and horse or wa
gon and horse as well as a driver to
carry away the garbage, you will be
doing your share in the big work that
is so commendable of the citizens OF
the city who are voluntarily fighting
with the government health authorities
to eradicate the plague on the other
side of the river.
We called attention of our people in
an article published last week to the
fact that while Algiers is positively
free from bubonic plague we are. new
ertheless, in danger of having an in
Elected rat brought into our district by
the different ferries. If then We dc
not provide living places for the rats
the plague rat will surely leave oul
lpremises and go elsewhere.

After this big cleanup there will bt

ALG|ERS SHOPS
To Be DEVELOPED
AND ENLARGED
Morgan Lire TO Spend More Than
$4,000 On improvements.

The Algiers shops of MOrgan's Lou
isiana & Texas Railroad < Steamship
Company are to be enlarged and deyel-
oped into a plant OF considerable pro-
portions, with many added facilities
and everything needed for the repair
and reconstruction of locomotives.
1t is understood that w. b. Scott,
president of the road, has been work
ing on the project for some time, con
sidering New Orleans the most import
ant point on the system. He will be
ready to put through the big projec
some time in the fall. More than $780,
600 will be spent on the improvements.
1t is proposed to materially increase
the repair tracks in the AlgierS yards,
and to add 10 the equipment OF the
shops the machinery necessary for the
I building of locomotive boilers, and
making all repairs to locomotives.
With the added equipment it will be
possible to entirely reconstruct loco
motives and furnish them with any
needed part.
With the shops enlarged. and the
work of the plant practically trebled,
the company will greatly increase its
force and give employment TO many
more men in all mechanical branches.
Just when the work is to start can
not be said at present, but all the pre-
lliminaries have been completed and
contracts for the machinery and new
buildings may be awarded soon.
The improved shops at New Orleans
Twill relieve the congestion that often
occurs when work is pressing in the
shops at Marshall and Lafayette, and
will generally add to the facilities of
the road.
When NJ. Scott was here, short
time ago, he very carefully went over
the situation and considered every
phase of the proposed improvements

-OLD GIRL
TEST|F|ES AGAINST
FATHER
Tells Story of Poverty and Improper
Treatment at Home-EmpIoyed
by Mrs. Martin koning as Nurse.

Medora Hantel, daughter OF Max
Hantel, testified in Judge Wilson'S
court against her father, in which she
stated that her father compels her to
give up her weekly salary of 81 and
that she is compelled to sleep in the
same room with her father and that he
does not provide sufficient food for
the family.
Max Hantel called at The Herald Of
fee on Tuesday night to state his side
of the story. He said that for twenty
five years he was employed with the
Southern Pacific Company and left
there about seven or eight years ago
with a good recommendation; since
that time he has been in hard luck,
having been unable to secure steady
employment. Nine years ago his wife
died, leaving him a widower with five
children, the eldest being about ten
years of age. Mr. Hantel stated that
|
wife he had hard struggle in making
living for the little ones. They were
all, however, placed in the orphans
home for quite a while and after he
obtained employment he again took
them from the orphans home, leaving
them with his mother and father, Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. Hantel Of Verret street
Three years ago Mr.. Hantel was re
married, this time of Mrs. Henry Ri
lnenburg, who had three children, and
Mr.. Hantel stated that he and his sec
ond wife separated for the fact that
each one had taken up for their chill
dren, and they finally thought it was
best to live apart. Mr.. Hantel stated
that Medora at the court made charg
es that he took her weekly wages ant
drank it up and to this Mr.. Hante
strenuously protested, stating that hi:
child had been influenced to turf
Iagainst him. He said that in the cour
building he was not given an oppor
ltunity to converse with the child. Mr.
Hantel stated he would leave it to al
! Algiers whether he ever got drunk.
Mrs. Martin Koning, who at presen
Iemploys Medora, stated that the little
girl has been employed at her home al
a nurse for the past four months o.
more and that it had been Mr.. Han
lters habit to call there and collect he
money. Mrs. Koning stated that thu
real cause of the trouble started whel
Medora went home and gave her week
lily wage to her grandmother instea'
of to her father, when the father toll
lher that if Medora would not give he
money to him she would have to qui
lher position. 1t was then that tn
little girl took her clothes and Wen
back to Mr.. Koning and stated tina
she did not want to go back home an
more. Mrs. Koning did not kno0
what to DO in the premises and desil
ing not to injure anyone, went t
Judge Thomas Maher for advice i
the matter. The Judge rightfully az
vised her that questions of that kin
should be taken up with Mr.. AgneV
The little girl then went to Mr.. Agne'
and told her story to that officer, VIII
at once brought the matter to the a
.. tention of Judge Wilson.
There was a hearing had in the cas-
, and further investigation is to be mad
by Supt. Agnew.
The case is a sad one, Hantel bein
extremely unfortunate in holding pos
lions for some reason. He lives wit
his aged monther and father in Verr'
street.

Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the child
ren's bureau of the Department of La
Dor. Miss Lathrop states that an m
vestigation is being conducted with a
view to ascertaining the extent Of feeble
mindness among the children OF the
Capital. At present there Is no local in
stitution to care for such children.
The bureau chief points cat the necss-
sity of ascertaining a standard of life
for the American family. and says that
steps toward this end are being made.
She states that this will facilitate n
solution of the problem of ''underpaid
fathers, overworked and ignorant mothers
and. unfavorable home conditions
Work for infant welfare is coming
to be regarded as more than a philan-
thropy or an expression of good will.
1t is a profoundly important public con-
Germ which tests the public spirit and
the democracy of a community. There
is perhaps, no better sign Of the mod
Crnness OF a city's administration than
the proportion Of its income which is
assigned to the protection of infancy
and childhood, though it is fair to re-
mind ourselves that a large amount OF
invaluable volunteer work is going on
in many cities whose budgets show no
item for this purpose. But whether by
public or private efforts the community
increasingly accepts its share of re-
sponsibility for the heaIthfuIness of
individual dwelling places and their
fitness for the rearing Of children"

Will Modify Embargo,

Discussions looking to a modification OF
the British embargoes on wool, plumbago,
and other materials are progressing fav-
orably. Following a visit OF the BritIsh
Ambassador, 1t was stated that an agree

Quantities as needed, on condition that
guarantees be given by the importers that
none or the consignments be permitted to

CHILE TO GUARD NEUTRALITY
Adopts Rules Not Unlike Those of
U. s. at Panama.

More strict rules for the preservation
OF the neutrality Of Chilean territory have
been adopted by that government, ac-
cording to q note handed to Secretary
of State Bryan yesterday by Ambassa-
dor Sdarez, of Chile. The new rules 60
into effect on January !, and In many re-
spects are similar to those enforced at
Panama by the United States govern
ment.
These provide that beIligerent warships
shall be permitted to take only enough
coal at Chilean ports to enable them to
reach the nearest coaling port OF a neigh
boring nation. 1t was the practice to
permit them to take sufficient coal to
reach their nearest home port.
Merchant ships will be permitted to take
coal in amounts equal only to their ordi-
nary bunker capacity, unless in case such
ship desires to proceed 10 a European
port, In which case sufficient coal may
be purchased, provided a satisfactory
guarantee IL given that the coal n to be
