INENERATOR NEED Hacker Points to Steady In- crease in Amount of Refuse Collected. An urgent necessity exists for the in- [} cinerators authorized but unappropri ated for by Congress last March, du to the steady increase in the amount of refuse collected and disposed of in the District, Morris Hacker, supervisor of the city refuse department, declared in his annual report submitted to the ! District Commissioners today. | *It is hoped that funds for their con- struction will be made available soon after Congress convenes in December,” he said, in stressing difficuities under which the refuse department is oper ating on day and night shifts. Hacker pointed out that the nuisance arising from the burning of refuse on the dumps became so great as to elimi- nate this method of disposal in the Dis- trict. During this past season it was found necessary to haul a great deal of the trash and refuse to dumps in ‘Virginia. The increase in the operations of the trash disposal plant, it is said, necessi= tated operations during the night as well as the day. The two shifts added materilaly to the cost of this work. Al- though there has been a severe strain on the furnaces and the mechanical appliances at the plant, the report says that the resulting freedom from smoke on the property adjacent justifies the additional cost. . Funds appropriated for the collection and disposal of refuse amounted to $950,000 and $500,000 for dust preven=- tion and cleaning streets and alleys. From the appropriatoin for street clean- (ng $12,244 was expended last Winter removing snow. ‘The garbage disposal pléne producee 2.786,079 pounds of grease, which were sold for $195203. A considerable amount of work was done at Cherry Hill, Va,, in the way of repairs and bet- terment of the plant, which will be continued this year. MISS MARY C. KELLY, " EX-TEACHER, DIES Appointed in 1869 and Served Un- il 1905—Prominent Citizens Among Her Pupils. Miss Mary G. Kelly, for many years a widely known teacher in the public schools of the northeast section of the city, died suddenly last Friday in At- lantic City, where she was spending a vdcation, it was learned here today. ‘Miss Kelly, who recently had main- tained her residence in the Rochambeau Apartments, is popularly remembered today as a teacher of boys. Many prom- inent men in Washington were in her class. Stephen E. Kramer, first as- sistant superintendent of schools, was for a short time in the seventh grade she taught. Charles W. Darr, president of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce, also was one of her pupils, Appointed as a teacher September 1, 1869, when she was a resident of 715 East Capitol street, Miss Kelly had com- pleted her service in the schools before the days of complete records in the school administration offices. ‘The scanty records show, however, that her resignation from the service was ac- cepted by the Board of Education at its meeting, June 29, 1905, at which time was principal of the Maury School.

COLMAN NHEALTHERUSAE Widely Known Authoress Is Named as a Director of Gorgas Memorial Institute. Mrs, Edna M. Colman of Washington, widely known authoress and lecturer, has become an associate director of the Gorgas Memorial Institute, a national health organization, it is announced today. Mrs. Colman took up her duties August 1.

Willlam Craw- ford Gorgas, characterized by her as “the world's greatest sanitarian.” “Gen. Gorgas,” she says, “lighted the torch of Dr. Walter Reed into an inex- tinguishable flame that is burning away the barriers of ignorance and superstition—offering to the world the great romance of medical science.” For Admiral Cary T. Grayson, per- sonal friend and physician to the late Woodrow Wilson, president of the in- stitute, and for Dr. Pranklin, president of the American College of Surgeons and president of the executive council of the institute, she also has high praise.
