kitchen had been turned on, one in the
dining room and one in the living room
An ambulance surgeon said the four

Lemuel E. Quigg Demands
Attitude Toward Sale
of Publications
Court Action Will
Be Based Upon Reply
Dealers Want to Know Why
They Must Purchase Un-
desirable Papers

Lemuel Ely Quigg, counsel for the
newsboys and ncwsdealers who are
fighting Hearst, has served notice upon
the Publishers Association that unless
its members within the week cease
their efforts to compel his clients tc
buy Hearst papers they do not want
and cannot sell he will take the mat
ter into the courts.
In his notice, which takes the form
Of a letter to Herbert l. Bridgman
chairman; Herbert f. Gunnison, vice
chairman, and l. P. Palmer, secretary
treasurer of the association, Mr.. Quigg
briefly states the facts in the case
outlines the law Of conspiracy and
intimates that it is under this section
of the law that his clients will seek
relief. He wrote:
"Many newsdealers, some of them
licensed by the city, others conduct
ing their business in their own
stores, have presented to me facts
that point to an understanding,
amounting to a conspiracy, on the
part of the corporations composing
your organization with one excep-
tion) not to sell their several prod
ucts to the newsdealers unless the
newsdealers purchase for sale The
New York American and The Eve
ring Journal; and, in some cases,
even a certain quantity Of those pa
pers. These newsdealers are my
clients, and they represent to me
that they do not have that sale for
The New York American or 'The
Evening Journal which this con-
spiracy of the publishers seeks to
impose upon them, and some of them
say that, for patriotic reasons, they
are not willing to take or sell the
papers mentioned in any quantity
whatever.
an view Of the facts that have
been placed before me, l beg to re-
quest:
"First-That the Publishers As
sociation direct it's agents of every
ever papers they want, and in the
quantities wanted, and at the price
at which each publishing corpora
ton fixes as the price to the news
dealers of its product; for, if your
delivery agencies are by your direc
ton doing other than this it seems
to me that you and they are parties
TO an unlawful conspiracy.
"Second-That you direct deliv-
ering agencies of the afternoon pa
pers represented in your association
TO deliver such papers as the news
dealers want, without any regard
whatever for the interests or con-
Germs of such publications as they
do not want.
'T make no doubt that Smith can
refuse to sell his product to Jones
for any reason or for no reason at
all, and that Jones can refuse to buy
of Smith at Jones's will; but l nold
that it is offensive to the law of this
state that Smith and Brown and
Robinson should conspire together
not to sell to Jones any of their
products unless Jones agrees to do
or does the things that your asso-
citation has demanded of my clients.
If the requests that I have here
presented do or do not commend
themselves to your association, will
yop be good enough to notify the
fact TO me within one week from the
date of this letter, so that l may
promptly take such action as my
duty to my clients may require ."

Finds
Garbage Plant
Public Nuisance
Staten Island Concern Is
Ordered to Correct Evils
or Discontinue

The $1,0O0,O00 garbage disposal plant
Of the Metropolitan ByProducts Com
pany at Lake Island, Staten Island,
which has been the subject of attacks
since it was built, eighteen months
ago, was yesterday declared a public
nuisance by DR.. Royal S. Copeland,
Commissioner of Health.
An order was Immediately issued by
the Board of Health, to be served on
the receivers of the company, notify
ing them that in six particulars their
disposal of city garbage was an offence
ard >Anger to the health of the resi-
dents of Staten Island, and that the
nuisance must be stopped at once.
The company has five days in which
to take action or to appeal for stay
or modification of the order. The order
issued yesterday came after public
hearing at the Department of Health,
two previous meetings having been
held on Staten Island.
DR.. Copeland Explains Act
After the meeting DR., Copeland said:
"At the various Investigations 200
witnesses have been heard, including
number of experts on garbage disposal.
AS a result of testimony brought for
ward under the personal direction of
Corporation Counsel William P. Burr
and his assistants, the Board of Health
has taken tn is formal action.
"Tho board declared at its session
to-day that the accumulation of garb-
age at the dumps, the delay in taking
garbage from the dumps, the delay in
removing scows from the dumps, the
careless transportation of the scows to
Lake Island, the retention of scows at
the dock at Lake Island and the method
of garbage disposal at the plant at
Staten Island, all constitute public
nuisance, and the board issued an order
notifying the receivers of the company
that these nuisances must be abated
forthwith.
May Cut Off Garbage
CAS- remedy for the situation, if
they ignore the order, the Board of
Health will notify the Street Cleaning
Department that the city should no
longer be a party to the nuisance and
that no more garbage should be sent
there for reduction"
Investigation by the Health Depart
ment demonstrated that the odors
from the Lake Island plant carried ten
miles-in some cases as far as St.
George. Staten Island citizens COM
mittees and civic organizations waged
bitter fight against placing the plant
inaugurated a movement for its re-
moval.
