THE SMOKE NUISANCE.
Wholesale Arrests to he Made 70
Violations OF the Law.

The number of violations Of the smoke
nuisance law which have occurred since
that measure became law have been SO
many that the District authorities will
probably have great many prosecutions
on their hands if they attempt to arrest
and punish all of the yiolators.
The act was passed by Congress last
February and has been in operation since
the first of August The sense Of the law
is that no business concern in the District
shall allow to escape from the chimney OF
its place or places of business any black
or grey smoke or cinders in any shape or
form The act of allowing such smoke or
cinders to escape is declared a public nui-
sance and the District Commissioners are
empowered with the authority TO prosecute.
DIR. Lynch, an inspector in the Health
Office, was designated as the smoke in
spector, and in a very short time after the
law went into effect he had one violation
of it on record and the offender in court.
The defendant in the case demanded jury
trial however, and the case has not been
called yet. The law is said to be violated
throughout the city, however, and the bust
ness men are anxious that the trial should
come off in the Police Court in order that
they shall find out how rigidly it will be
enforced
The Commissioners gave due notice long
before the act went into effect that the
time was approaching for its maturity and
that prosecutions would be vigorously pur-
sued They have no discretion allowed
them whatever in the matter and they Will
be compelled to prosecute. The inability
of man to secure the proper preventive
for the smoke nuisance will not exempt
him from prosecution. There are smoke
consumers the Commissioners claim. as
they have purchased one, and it is now in
use on their building at the Street pump
ing station This apparatus has been
found to work successfully and it is
claimed that there are many others that
will give similar results.
Health officer Woodward mas charge OF
the enforcement Of the smoke law, and ac
cording to his views there Will be a mum
Der OF prosecutions in the near future.
Some of the most flagrant of the violations
of the new law have been noted by the
Health Officer and he will have the offend
ers arrested and brought into court.

Edison S. Bradley, of New York. testified
before the Industrial Commission
yesterday concerning the dfstfling
business in this country. Mr.. Brad
ley is Vice President OF the American
Distilling Company, and President OF
the Merchants Distilling Company. and
the Kentucky DistiIIeTy and Warehouse
Company. The latter companies are afHI-
lated with the American DisuIling Com
pauy an organization formed about four
months ago, and commonly known as the
Whiskey Trust. The organization has a
capitalization Of $4,000. 900 in preferred
stock. and s55. .000. 900 in common stock.
and is chartered under the laws Of New
Jersey.
The object of the combination, said the
witness, was to do away with competition.
and concentrate the manufacture and dis
tributiOU Of spirit products The present
method of the company was to sell at
so low a price that competitors could
scarcely make any money on their goods.
The companies represented by Mr. Brad
ley manufacture 50 per cent of the spirit
production of this country, about three
fCurths of the Kentucky whisky. and
about One-ffth Of the rye whiskies made in
the East. The system Of rebates formerly
employed in marketing spirits. was dis
continued by the American DistnIing Com
pany some time ago.
The present tax of S1.I0 per gallon on
spirits. the witness thought. should be re-
duced to 30 cents. This. he argued. would
produce more revenue for the Government
and would be a benefit to the trade The
heavy tax on spirits tended TO make Illicit
distilling one of the great evils of the
business There are thousands OF these
stills now in operation in this country. dc-
cOrding to the witness, which pay no tax,
and which are earning enormous profits
for their prOprietors. In this connection
the witness said he knew man in North
Carolina who was worth $500 0G0 who
owned $4,000 acres OF land and who was
actively engaged in politics. He had no
apparent occupation. but was running ous
very small Illicit still
Mr.. Bradley cited this case he said in
order that the Commission might get some
idea of the enormous profit in making
Illicit whisky. II the tax on whisky were
reduced 10 Is cents a gallon, the witness
thought there would be no profit in lici-
distiIling. This evasion of the law. he
said. was pracuced in all parts Of the cOun-
try. even in New York city.
1t had been shown, said the witness.
that the trust was not a guarantee against
competition His company. however. was
selling spirits at S1.23 a gallon. whicd. Ee
believed, was the exact cost TO other CON-
panies in turning out the product. Mr.
Bradley made a general argument in favor
of combination in trade. He had Ob,aineI
figures he said. to show that S45Gt0.109
annually was lost between the mauufa.-
turer and consumer OF whisky. Ielis was
the result OF the various methods OF push
ing by advertising etc, various brands Of
whisky.

A GOOD THING FROM HrrNGAR-

A GOOD THING FROM HUNGARY.
 Under the auspices of the Apollinaris Company, London. very valuable min eral water adapted for medicinal pur- poses, has been introduced into this country under the name of "Apenta D This product is a bitter water, derived pure and in a perfectly healthy condi- tion, from springs situated near Buda- pest, Hungary.
 It belongs to the class of purgative waters; but it's action happens to be of a mild and non-irritating character, due to the presence of large quantity of sulphate of magnesa, which exceeds in quantity the sulphate of soda. The former is the milder purgative, and the somewhat crude action of the soda sul- phate of other waters is therefore said to be avoided in "Apenta."

MIR. STEAD ON THE HAGUE CON-
 FERENCE.
 q suppose" said MT. Seth Low to me one day, that this conference is, after all, the nearest approach to the parliament of man that has ever yet been assembled"
 The president of Columbia univers- ity did not exaggerate. The confer ence the The Hague was a parliament of man representing, however imper- fectly, the whole human race. The only independent ones not represented at the Huis ten Bosch were the South American republics, the Emperor of Morocco, the King of Abyssinia, and the Grand Lama of Tibet. That the South American republics were not represented is not the fault of the Rus sia Emperor. Mexico received and &C., cepted an invitation. Brazil received, but rejected, the invitation to be pres- ent and so did other South American republics. The original Russian idea was to assemble representatives from every llluSpSHutlI III lilc world; nor did they even confine them selves to the secular governments. They were very anxious that the Pope should also be directly represented in this supreme assembly. Even with the Pope and South America left out, the Congress represented more of the world and its inhabitants than any similar assembly that has ever been gathered together for the work of in- ternational legislation. The circum- stance in itself is sufficient to give dis tinction to the conference at The Ha- que, which, it is expected, will be the forerunner of a series of conferences, each of which will aim at being more and more universally representative. On the eve of the twentieth century the human race has begun to federate itself. That is the supreme signfi- canoe of the assembly which has just spent two months in the capital of Holland.-William T. Stead in the Forum.
