Would Have City Collect Rubbish.
In connection with cleanup week
DR.. Bosenbury has been advocating
that the city collect all the rubbish
gathered together by the property
owners. DR.. Bosenbury believes that
the proper way in which to keep
alive in the minds OF the people the
fact that their rubbish be kept clean
ed up is 10 have the city collect
such material at stated intervals in
the same manner that garbage is
removed.
L. G. Manning. city controller. has
been opposing Dr. Bosenbury in this
movement on the grounds that
maintaining such a department as
would he required 10 collect the rub
bish would be an almost useless ex-
penditure. During the survey made
by the government expert here sew
eral months ago il was suggested by
the expert that the city collect this
rubbish in the manner advocated by
DR.. Bosenbury. II is estimated that
this would mean an expenditure Of
approximately $4,000 annually for
the city, compared to $4,000 eN-
pended in the collection of garbage.
The collection of rubbish means
gathering up all the tin cans, old
boxes. ashes and other refuse which
accumulates about the home and
property.
Under the present system there is
no provision made by the city TO col
lect rubbish. This is left TO the prop
erty owner or resident. In order to
have ashes and other trash hauled
away from the property, the prop
erty owner must secure a private
conveyance. Therefore it is natural
that many persons dump their trash
and rubbish upon a nearby vacant
lot, in their own yards, or in the al
legs and streets. If the person has
the rubbish hauled away il costs him
from 10 cents TO 50.
DR.. BOsenbury believes that the
citizens would just as soon pay an

Americans, as a rule, are very
business-like. They possess re-
markable powers of organization
and initiative. But they are in
clined to believe that preparation
upon a thing that has not already
occurred is a waste of time and en-
ergy Wisdom and common sense
are necessary. For this reason it
has been essential to prepare the
American Red Cross for the emer-

Recognizing the great humane
purposes for which the Red Cross

When asked whether or not the

with the ordinance requiring gar

Bosenbury stated that in most in
stances this law is being observed
but pointed out some weaknesses in
the present system At this time
there are certain sections OF town
where garbage cans are not main

wagons do not pass through these
districts. Under the present system
the garbage department is under the
jurisdiction OF the board OF works
and the street commissioner. The
garbage is collected wherever cans
are maintained. but when com
plant is made that garbage is not
being properly cared for. the com
plant goes to the health depart

issues orders that the resident main

FIGHT ON FREIGHT
RATE be MADE SOON

MACON, Ca, Jan. Definite oppo-
sition to freight rate increases pro-
posed by Georgia railroads, will be
laid on Jan. 18th, at a meeting Of sew
eral hundred of the largest shippers in
Georgia, who are to meet in Macon for
this special purpose.
The meeting has been called by w.
c. Vereen, of Moultrie, widely known
Cnancier and president of the Geor-
gia Shippers association. and notice to
shippers are now being distributed by
Secy. b. Gilham.
Illustrations of how higher freight
rates would affect every interest in
Georgia, will be set forth by rate ex-
rerts, who will address the meeting.
Every business interest and individual
in Georgia would be hampered to some
extent, transportation officials say.
Figures compiled by the Interstate
Commerce commission, show that rail-
roads of the South last year received
an approximate income of $3,5O0 per
miles on every foot of their road, but
in spite of this enormous revenue they
are seeking more.
The Georgia Shippers association is
the only organization opposing rate in
creases, and every shipper should prize
his business enough to take an active
part in helping to fight the proposed
increases.
This is why shippers should gather
in Macon on the 18th, and help the
association help them.

Lawson First Refused to Talk.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9.-The
continued refusal of Thomas w. Law
son to answer categorically certain
questions in the leak inquiry today
caused the house rules committee, in
charge of the probe, to entertain mo
tion by Representative Bennett that
he be cited before the bar of the house
for contempt. The motion was held on
the table for action when the previous
motion by Representative Chiperfeld is
disposed of.
Lawson this morning refused to give
the name of the banker who, he said.
had told him new York banker, cab
met official and a United States sena-
tor participated in a stock gambling
partnership. Lawson explained he was
already under contempt, and, therefore,
did not think it fair for the committee
to proceed with his examination while
the charge hangs over his head,

COMMITTEE HE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9.-Thos.
W. Lawson this afternoon promised the
house rules committee he would dis
closes the names of the cabinet Off
cial, senator and New York banker
whom he said a congressman had
told him were engaged in stock gam
bling partnership, if the house order
ed the leak" investigation. He de-
clared however, he preferred to take
the consequences of being held in con-
tempt than disclose these names now.
Previously Lawson asserted the con-
gressman who gave him the informa-
tion cautioned him not to disclose the
names, because it might prove disas-
trous both to the nation and the Wilson
and said another name
might be mentioned which would bring
even more serious consequences.

duce circumstantial evidence, and by
the consistency of that testimony cor
roborate it entirely. Secondly, posi-
tive testimony would be introduced
corroborating every charge in the bill
of indictment

The Teutons driving against the Sc
