Chief Moore Prohibits Employees From
I%ndulging in the Habit.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-A death
blow was given cigarette smoking in
the weatht.r service Saturday when
Chief Willis T. Moore issued an order
prohibiting persons connected with the
service from smoking cigarettes during
Office hours and stating further that
those who smoked cigarettes at any
time would be mentioned in the CON
fdential reports which are made quar-
terly to him by chiefs of the several
Offices and divisions throughout the en-
tire service. The order is plainly worded
and the chief evidently means that it
shall be obeyed. Chief Moore said:
"The order was issued after due cor.
sideration and q full investigation of
the evils resulting from cigarette smok-
ing! It will stand. In this bureau we
are compelled to maintain q
Very Strict Discipline
in order to secure good service. Some
of u men who r regarded as some Of
the most thorough and competent, doing
every detail of their work with the ut
most promptness and accuracy, grad
ually became careless and lax. I sent
inspectors to investigate and in a num-
Der of cases it was found directly at
tributable to the use Of cigarettes. am
not prudish, o do I wish to assume
any authority whatever over any priv
ilege which the employees of the service
should have, but as a public servant I
feel that it is my duty to correct any
evil which may exist, even in attempt
ing to make this claim that I am over
stepping my authority. I can state
most emphatically that the order will
stand, and that it applies to the entire
force of the bureau throughout the en-
tire service. Cigarette smoking must
cease. Cigars and pipes are not barred u

any office of the first or second class
irrespective of the place Of payment
named in the order.
A money order may be cashed ire
spective of the fact that the corre-
spending advice may not have reached
the office upon which it was drawn.
It is believed that these measures
embrace features which must have the
substantial approval of the business
public and will result in reducing the
complaints made because of the prac-
tice followed heretofore.

Authentic Word of His Sacrifice By

Washington. Oct. 1.-Several important
dispatches were received today from
China. Generally they tend to confirm
the events recorded Saturday. From Can
ton, Consul McWade reports the issue of
the decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues, SO that there is no longer roui,t
as to the accuracy of Sheng's statement
on that point. Mr.. Conger also has re-
ceived notification of the Chinese peace
commission which was forecasted by
Minister Wu's advices several days ago.
Mr.. Conger made no reference to the con-
demnatory decree, hence it Is inferred
that it was not issued when his dispatch
was sent last Thursday.
The text of these two dispatches Is
as follows:
