CUMBERLAND. Md, February 6, 1900.
Over three thousand residents Of Cum
berland have already Joined the Good Wa
ter League being organized here. The ex-
ecutive committee is busy perfecting per-
manent organization, that the fight against
Potomac pollution may be systematically
and thoroughly conducted. The members
of the league pledge themselves to report
all pollutions to the executive committee
and to assist the authorities in every legal
way to abate pollution. Every member of
the league agrees to assist in continuing
the fight against the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company. because of the gen.
er,al belief that this corporation is the chief
polluter No attempt will be made by the
league to look into the matter of another
source of supply until all means are eX-
hausted to abate the contamination Of the
Potomac.
Sheriff James Martin has been much
criticised because of the failure so far to
serve the warrants sworn out on December
% last by J. Semines Devecmon. member
of the Cumberland bar, against the West
Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, for Po-
tomac river pollution. The reason offered
for the non-serving is mainly that the
principals are the most Of the time out OF
the state. Justice Joseph A. Gender Of
Cumberland has fixed the hearing for next
Tuesday.
