Right of Latter to Make Gas Stove
CONNECT Ons Subject of Hearing.

A hearing was granted today by the
District Commissioners upon the question
involving the right of dealers in gas stoves
to set up the stoves and make pipe con-
nections without a plumbing license. 1t
will be remembered that w. S. jerks, a
stove dealer, was arrested some time ago
and brought into Police Court charged wit h
violating the plumbing regulations. The
question between the plumbers and the
stove dealers then arose and was taken be-
fore the Commissioners. The jerks case Is
still pending.
There were present at the hearing repre-
sentativeS of both sides of the controversy.
Representing the plumbers were w. D..
Nolan, president of the Master Plumbers
A: S)ciation; William Koch, secretary Of
the association. and Ed. j. Hannah. The
stove dealers were represented by Attorney
3. F. Leighton, and Messrs. w. 8. jerks,
F. 8. Hodgson, J. 3. Dodson and Henry
Hammond.
Mr.. Leighton spoke first and explained
the nature of the controversy. He said the
work performed by the stove dealers was
but the simple operation of connecting a
gas stove or range with exist ing gas pipes
in the room. Mr.. Leighton referred to the
fact that question very similar to the
present case was raised about two years
ago. involving the right Of stove dealers to
make water connections in setting up
ranges. In that case Mr.. Leighton cited,
the Commissioners granted the stove men
authority to do such work under certain
restrictions
Mr.. w. s. jerks then spoke, and ex-
planned to the Commissioners the case In
which he had been charged with violating
the plumbing regulations He said that one
of his workmen had found it necessary to
remove some wood work and extend the
pipe connection about twenty feet This
was an exceptional case, he declared and
that usually the pipes in the room where
the stove is to set up are sufficient for all
proper connections.
Mr. Nolan and the other members of the
plumbers association declared that all such
work is contrary to the plumbing regula-
lions and Is illegal
There was a general discussion of the
subject, involving moral and technical
points.
The District inspector Of plumbing, Chas
b. Ball, who was present, spoke at some
length on the subject Of the plumbing regu-
lations. He said they were adopted by the
Commissioners for the purpose of the prop
er protection Of the city in a sanitary way.
The inspector quoted at some length from
the regulations, tending to show that ac-
stove connections come under the head Of
plumbing. The plumbing authority he fur
ther said. extends to the gas tip where the
gas is burning
1t was argued by the stove dealers that
the price of gas stoves and ranges would
be much higher to the buyer if it should be
held necessary to employ a Number to do
the work that might well be entrusted to a
mechanic.
Commissioner Macfarland stated that tho
case would be duly considered

SAFE ROBBED.

Office of Jackson Phillips Brick Com
pany Entered by Burglars.
The office of the Jackson Phillips Brick
Company. in Waterloo. Alexandria county.
Va. was broken open last night and about
$50 in cash stolen from the safe. The rob-
Der also secured a new overcoat. hat and
a valuable umbrella. This morning the
police in Washington and the authorities in
Alexandria county were notified. 1t Is be-
lieved that the robber left traces behind
him which will lead to his early capture.
Entrance to the office building was effect
ed by means Of a window in the rear room.
The safe, which is strong and massive. was
opened apparently without resort to force.
Its apartments were ritled as If by hand
skilled in the business All the money Sc
cured was contained in envelopes belonging
to employees Of the company, as 1t was not
the custom of the company to keep large
sums at the Waterloo office. One OF the
officials at the office said he believed the
burglar had found the safe only par
TALLY locked, and had succeeded BY accident
In throwing 1t open.
1t was learned this morning that man
wearing an overcoat and hat corresponding
to the stolen articles had been spending
money lavishly at public place in Water
loo between IL and l clock this morning.
He was small white man, with dark
mustache.
1t was also stated this morning that an
unsuccessful attempt had been made last
night to enter the Brick Haven post office
at Waterloo.
Shortly after the robbery was discovered
Sheriff Palmer was notified, and he visited
the scene of the robbery. An overcoat
found in the office, it was believed had been
stolen from railroad tower some distance
from the brick yard. as a report of such
robbery had been received earlier in the
morning. AS the local department Is With
out jurisdiction across the river 1t Is
not hopeful Of accomplishing much in the
way Of investigation.
The robbery was reported to the Post
Office Department today. and an inspector
was sent to the scene to make an investi
cation. This action was taken because the
property of the Brick Haven post office,
such as money and stamps, Is kept in the
safe at the brick yard.
1t was ascertained today that two strange
men were seen on the railroad track in
front Of the brick yard about II 80 o'clock
last night. but no particular attention was
paid to them. as scores Of tramps get on
and off freight trains at this point. When
it was learned that the robbery had been
committed a man who had noticed them
last night recalled a conversation he over
heard between the men. One of them

placed in England by German concerns.
according to a report received at the State
Department from Consul Hughes at Co
burg. Germany. This step, the consul
says. has caused surprise and regret in
German commercial circles. particularly
as German coal companies are known to
have large supply of coal on hand Lower
prices are the cause of these contracts he
ing placed outside of the empire, and. in
view of the fact that the German dealers
refuse to reduce their rates to the level of
their English competitors. Consul Hughes
suggests that the present is an opportune
time for United States mine owners to
gain a firm foothold in the German coal
market

so many knew him, was born in
Virginia January %, 1916, and
came to Marion County, Mis-

age, where lie spent the rest of
his life. He was married in

mourn him one sister, Mrs. w.
T. Payne, and four children.
Miss Fannie Walker, Mrs. W.
B. Drescher, d. B. Walker and
Benjamin Walker, besides many
relatives and friends who loved
him for his kind disposition and
sweet simplicity of character.
A short funeral service. con.
Quoted by Rev. Briney, was
held at his home Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, after which
the remains were inferred in the
family burylng ground four
