Old Carts Condemned.

The departments report states that the
old carts were Objectionable not only on
account of being unsightly, but that the
bags which they carried provided breed
ing places for flies and created objec-
tionable odors.
The report reviews at length the opera
tons of the department during the last
fiscal year. 1t states that the use of
motor vehicles for inspection shows con-
siderable economy over inspection with
bicycle or horse or buggy.
"A change in the policy for dust pre-
vention was effected during the year,
the report continues. previously,
practically all suburban streets were
oiled. but it was found that certain
streets did not respond to such treat
ment, the oiling having little beneficial
effect. The schedules were accordingly
gone over. and all such streets trans-
ferred to a sprinkling schedule, which
treatment kept them in better condi-
ton, and at less expense than when oiled.
Sprinkling on Oil streets also was
practiced in the spring before the oil
ing season commenced and during dry
and warm spells in the late fall and
winter Such sprinkling practically
eliminated all complaints from dust
during the winter months"

Although the most important in its
international consequences. the Dumba :
Archibald incident is not the only in
stance of the misuse of United States
passports that has arisen during the
European war. Probably the most flag
rant case prior to the Archibald case
was that of Dr. Walter Lichteustein,
formerly an instructor in the North

birth and parentage. but became a cit

His employment at the Northwestern
University followed shortly after hts

In July, 1913. he visited this city and
obtained passport in regular form
from the State Department for use on a
trip to South America. While he was

NEW STREET CLEANING
CART IS DEFENDED
District Department Makes Its An
nual Report to the Com
missioners.

A defense of Washingtons new type
of street cleaning cart, the prac-
ticability of which recently was at
tackled by William NICK. Clayton of the
Federation of Citizens Associations on
the ground that 1t is cumbersome and
imposes an unnecessary hardship on
the white wings" is contained in the
annual report of the street cleaning de-
partment, submitted to the Commits
sioners today.
Following Mr. Clayton's complaint,
Commissioner Newman pushed one of
the carts for distance of 100 feet
over suburban thoroughfare in order
to obtain frst-hand information as to
its operation. Shortly thereafter he
ordered that further manufacture of
the carts be discontinued until the
return to the city of j. w. Paxton,
superintendent of the street cleaning
department, who was then on vaca-
ton. Since then the matter has not
been taken up.

President Wilson's European policy

lean Federation OF Labor. in session ~

and against the administration policy

the stand taken by President Wilson

give the President undivided support in

Becomes German Agent.

His offer was accepted, and he became
a fullfiedged agent of Germany AS
such he soon after made a trip to Ber-
lin with important messag ges from the
ambassador relating to affairs in the
United States and other American coun-
tries. His mission was successful main
ly through his possession of United
States passport. which enabled him to
pass through Italy without undue delay
or suspicion into German territory.
High praise from German officials for
the successful manner in which ne had
executed his trust induced him to essay
another attempt to carry German dis
patches through hostile and neutral
territory. BY that time, however. his
movements had aroused suspicion on
the part of officials of the United
States, and it was established that he
was abusing his privileges as a citizen
of the United States. The character of
his unneutral york was discovered
while he was making his way north
through Italy last winter. He travelled
as an American tourist and promptly
produced his United States passport
whenever his identity was questioned.
q. S. Consuls Warned.
All the United States consular Off
GERS in Italy had been fully warned of
Lichtenstein's practices, and were in
structed to seize his passport papers
at the first opportunity.
Acting on that information. DR.. ]. f.
Jones of the consular SERVE, at that
time serving consul general at
Genoa, instituted a close search for the
German American traveller, and finally
was successful in locating him in
Genoa. Action was swift and effective.
LlchtenStein was summoned to the
consulate. and despite strenuous ex-
postulations. was compelled to surren-
der his passport. which thereupon was
cancelled
DIR. Lichtenstein was given his lib
erty, but no longer having an America n
passport, his usefulness as a German
enissary was ended and he returned to
the United States. and is reported to be
here at present.

''The final estimate was $ll8,232.96,
in which case an over-estimate of
$G,137.Ol would appear. If the con-
tractor is allowed ten per cent extra
for that portion Of the excavation in
the second contract which was taken
from depth greater than that of the
original contract, it would amount to
1876 yards at 1852 c. or $1,117.19, in
which case the over-estimate would
be reduced to $5,019.82. If the con-
tractor is allowed the extra as pro-
vided in the clause of the first con-
tract and construed to apply to the
entire contents of the trench of the
work under the second contract, then
the over-estimate would be decreased
by 21,236.4 yards Of excavation at
25.53c. per yard, or $5,421.65, in
which case the over-estimate would
be $715.36. The contractors have
fled some claims for extra work
which have as yet not been allowed;
these claims have so far been given
no consideration in the above discus
sion. Such claim as that for replac-
ing a pavement might not be a just
claim as the contract provides that

replacing a vitrified sewer with a
cast iron pipe, which was in the way
Of permanent improvement to meet

such portions of such bill as seem
