To See That Each Gang Cleans
Up Thoroughly as 1t

City Commissioner E. u. Gross at
noon to-day announced the appoint
ment of five inspectors to superintend
the collection of ashes in the city.
This action followed u conference
between Mr.. Gross, Samuel Gardner,
ton Company which has the city con-
Bureau. Close cooperation between
the contractors and the city was
promised with the view of cleaning up
the huge accumulation of ashes.
To Accompany Gang
No salary was fixed for Inspectors
Inspectors Smith, Seborn. Hatton,
LentZ and Johnson nor was the time
fixed for their length of service. They
will accompany the five gangs of col
lectors who will start out over the
regular routes Monday morning.
Whether or not the city or the con-
tractors will pay these superintendents
was left unsettled at the end of the
conference. Mr. Gross takes the posi-
ton, he said, that the company should
pay the men because their employ
ment was made necessary by lackness
and failure to maintain schedules.
The inspectors have been given in
structions to see that each gang cleans
up everything in the districts in which
their gangs are working" said Com
missioner Gross.

pealed to Judge S. j. NJ. McCarrell for
Il reduction of the courts order direct
ing him to pay "a week towards the
support of his sons wife and five chill
dren. The son, Percy Rosenberger. it
was alleged, has refuced to contribute
towards the support of the six, and
the aged father declared he would
soon be a charge on the county if he
was compelled to follow the order and
take his sons place.
The Rev. DR.. James L. Bullitt, rec
tor of st. Andrews Episcopal Church,
appeared on the stand in behalf of
Mrs. Percy Rosenberger and testified
that the family was greatly in need
of funds. Counsel for the woman de-
clared that the husband helped his
aged father to pay the money, and
that If he did not the old man could
draw on other children for his living
expenses after he had expended his
savings.
The aged father declared that his
son had run away and refused to sup
port his family. He said that he had
only the interest of $500 on which to
support himself and wife. DIR. Bullitt
testified that the husband was a heavy
drinker and did not like to work. The
court finally directed that the order
be reduced to 50 week. and at the
same time issued a capias under
which the old mans son may be jailed
if he refuses to contribute to his fam

Eemland was owned by the Royal Dutch

called at Falmouth. Like the Zaandijk
the Eemland was coming here to take

The Jacatra, owned by the Rotterdam
Lloyds, left New York Janury 26, with
grain for the Dutch government. She
had put in at Kir<wall.
The Menado. also owned by the Rot

Rotterdam to get grain.
Apparently most of these vessels were

the flag of Holland have been filling
from so to so per cent. of their space
with grain. This space was comman-
deered and the grain was all consigned
to the Netherlands government.
None of the ships reported sunk car

not lay down this weapon before we
accomplish the aim of this war-the
defense of our independence and the
freedom of our homes"

DEMOCRATSPLAN
FIGHT TO FINISH
ON REVENUE BILL
Will Hold Congress in Con-
tinuous Session From Now
Until March 4
G. o. p. FILIBU STER
Senators Drop All Disguises
and Come Out Flatfootedly
Against Measure
Rr .issnci1tcd Prcss


Washington. ID. c., Feb. 24.-Senate
Democrats to-day determined on a
fight to a finish with the Republican
minority over the revenue bill and
preparedness legislation and have
practically decided to hold Congress in
continuous session from now on even
to the extent of holding through Sun
day, March 4.
The conference was held after Re-
publican Senators had dropped all dis
guises in the filibuster and had partici-
pated in an obstructive debate for two
hours on the legislative appropriation
Dill conference report. In the Demo-
cratic conference held in the finance
committee room were Secretary Nc
Adoo and Senators simmons, Stone,
Martin, James, Thomas, Swanson and
Hughes.
We are going to insist on keeping
this revenue bill before the Senate, no
matter what happens" said Senator
Simmons. THE whole preparedness
program and the destiny of the nation
is dependent upon this bill and If the
Republicans want to take responsible
ity for imperilling the country they
will have to take the blame.
AID DEMOCRATS-6 81
There will be co compromise on
tEis measure and If the minority pro-
poses to keep up this filibuster we
shall have to fight them with a con-
tinuous session of the Senate"
IF the Republicans want to take
responsibility for delaying preparation
OF the nation in this grave crisis" said
Senator James, they may take it, but
the country will know where the re-
sponsibility lies. If Republican Sena-
tors want to fight for the interests
of munitions makers so that they may
reap profits of warfare and escape
payment of any of its tax burdens
the country also shall be informed OF
that"
The conference took considerable
time discussing revenue possibilities in
case the Republican fight succeeded
and the President declined to call an
extra session. 1t was admitted that
with treasury notes and available Pan
anna bonds, the government could get
through under normal conditions but
1t would be impossible to proceed with
a preparedness program.
Senator Smoot. one of the Repub-
lican leaders. after comforting with
Representative Mann, Republican
House leader, said he had no idea that
there would be an extra session OF
Congress, basing his statement on the
belief that the Republican fight would
operate to prevent the President from
going to Congress to ask for more
power to handle the foreign situation
in the absence of Congress.
81 do not believe the President will
come to Congress at ALL" Senator
Smoot said.
