CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
THOROUGH SUCCESS
SAYS ONE OFFICIAL
FOUR CARTS AND FOUR WAGONS
ON THE JOB TWO WHOLE
DAYS.
FIFTEEN OR TWENTY men WORKED
Result Has Been That the City Has
Been Freed From very Fruitful
Source of Sickness and Bad Health
This Summer.

1.-THE best cleanup that l have seen
since / have been in Columbia" is
the way that one of the city officials
summed up this afternoon the cam.
paign that has been waged for the
past two days to rid the city of every
tin can, bit of rubbish, foulness and
filth there is in it.
Four wagons and four carts have
worked steadily since Friday morn
ing, and they have removed hundreds
of loads of refuse, which had been
piled by property owners on the side
of the street for the wagons.
The response that the people have
made to the appeal of the city author
tiles to clean up has been most graf
flying. The fifteen or twenty men of
the street force have been taxed to
the limit to carry off the rubbish that
has been piled out for them.
But for the generous help of two
or three private owners of teams and
wagons they would have been unable
to remove all the refuse that has been
gathered. The hauling capacity of
the force was just about doubled as
a result of this request for wagons
and teams
In the rubbish that was piled up
there was almost everything con-
ceivable Shoes, tin cans, old hair,
excelsior, these and thousand 9TH
er things that had accumulated in
the last year were carried off to the
city's dump grounds.
The results of the cleanup are too
self-evident to need mention. There
have been removed thousand
sources of infection, disease and bad
health. There will be less flies, less
mosquitoes, less sickness and less
death as a result of the campaign.

Corporations Where the Pixies Are
Not Maintained Properly To
Stand Test of Court.

Since the decision of the supreme
court, holding void an unconstitution,
al the turnpike regulation act of 1885
there will be added interest in the
bill introduced just before the recess
by the Maury delegation to enact d
new turnpike law This bill followed
the decision of the supreme court in
the Maury county special turnpike
act. 1t was, however, introduced as
a general measure, in order to obvi-
ate the attack that was anticipated if
it was presented as local bill
That this bill will be opposed by
turnpike owners in this and other
counties seems practically certain at
this time, the claim being made that
the provisions of the bill are too Sc.
we're and would work a real injustice
upon the turnpike corporations.
Whether or not the bill will stand the
tests of the courts, in the light of the
decision in the Williamson county
case, is also much mooted question
and one that is giving the county of.
ficials and the legislative delegation
quite good deal of concern.
One official, discussing the matter,
said that while he had not seen the
opinion of the supreme court in the
Williamson county case, yet from his
understanding of it, he believed that
1t would be very difficult matter in
deed to secure legislation that would
really give county officials effective
control over the pike roads and that
would at the same time stand the test
Of the courts.

roads or observe the requirements of

bill would work a forfeiture of the

YALE FAILS TO HOLD LEAD
Baker Again a Factor in St.
Nick's Hockey Victory.

New Haven, Feb. 13.-Yale's hockey
seven got off to lead OF two goals on
the st. Nicks in the arena here to-
night, but was unable 10 hold the ad-
vantage. and the New York team won
by score of TO 3.
The largest crowd OF the season,
about $500 persons, turned out for the
match, probably because of the pres
ence on the lineup of the visitors OF
the peerless HOBBY Baker. HOBBY did
not disappoint mis- admirers. He failed
20 score himself. but he was a team in
himself when it came TO carrying the
puck into the enemy's territory.
Yale got the jump early in the fray.
and for the first half outplayed the
New York team. Baker and his team
mates fairly swept the secondary de-
fence of the Blue off its feet in the
second half, Cox, Kilner and Ellis scor-
ing in succession. Murray raised the
hopes of Yale supporters with a long
shot for a goal toward the end Of the
period.

NOVEL PLAY STIRS
WINTER LEACUERS
Pell Hero of Hour by Rea-
son of a Three-Ply
Put-Out.

]. D. Pell, third baseman OF the
University Club, sits in the seats OF
the mighty in baseball to-day. With
the able assistance Of G. F. Brokaw,
the first baseman, he made a triple
play In the first inning of stirring
game between his club and the 18th
Infantry, at the armory of the soldiers,
Yesterday afternoon. 1t may be SAID In
passing that many major league
player has come and gone-has written
his name in lasting letters across base
ball history without achieving this sig
nal distinction. So if Jimmy demands
that he be called "Mr." Pell to-day and
tomorrow he may be excused.
II was in the trsJ inning OF the hrst
game of a double header, in which, IN
cidentally, the University Club defeat
ed the 18th Regiment and the Union
Club trounced the Calumet Club by the
respective scores Of % to 4 and Il
to IL, in the presence of small, but
select audience.
Hildreth walked in and slammed one
OF J. +. Wilcox's pet inshoots on the
nose, and hoped along to second when
Ashmore singled through the lnfeld.
The stage was set for stirring details,
and Holt gave the hit and run sign.
The men on bases started, and Hoit
hit the ball Fair on line, the ball
whistled down the third base line. IL
looked good for single, but Pell
leaped up and spesred it.
At once bedlam let loose. get back
to bases" the coaches for the soldiers
yelled. Touch third and throw to
first" howled the University men.
Usually, when a multiplicity of orders
are issued simultaneously, confusion
reigns supreme. But there was no
confusion in this case. Pell tagged
Hildreth as he sped into third, and
then whipped the ball across to tirstt'
getting Ashmore before he could check
his headlong career toward second and
double back to safety. When the teams
changed sides Pell was acclaimed by
the crowd.
Pell was quite consistent player
throughout. He grabbed down couple
of hits and made five put-outs.
OF coarse texture was the game pc
tween the Calumet Club and the Union
Club. The pitchers were ineffective Tor
the most part. and the fielding was
weird. The Calumet team just kicked
the game away in the fifth frame, when
Union pushed nine tsllies over after
two men were down.
