SUGGESTS AMENDMENT.
Local Firm Corresponds With
missiOners Respecting Smoke L,

Local Firm Corresponds With Com
missiOners Respecting Smoke Law.
Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop. writing
the District Commissioners upon the SUBJ
ject Of the smoke law, have suggested that
the law be amended SO as to provide that
the emission of black gray smoke from
a stack or chimney for a period not ex-
ceeding three minutes, while firing. shall
not be deemed violation Of the law,
1t is stated by Messfs. Woodward & 10TH
rop that they have applied to their boilers
a smoke-preventing device which, they be-
lieve, is the bestn,,of several tried by them,
Yet. they find that while firing, for a period
OF from one to three minutes 1t is impos-
sible to prevent the appearance of black or
gray smoke at that time. They also say
that they have NOT been advised that there
is any device which will entirely overcome
this evil.
While we appreciate" they state, 1.-The
Importance of the effort to control the
nuisance by legal enactment, we feel that
it would be an advantage both to the gov
ernment as well as TO- those who are hon.
estly trying to comply with the law, to so
amend the act Of February 2 1899, as to
provide that the iemission of black or gray
smoke from stack or chimney for period
not exceeding three. minutes, while firing,
shall not be deemed violation Of the law

FREIGHT BRAKEMAN STRUCK OIL
Now He Has Ordered a $4,000 Pri-
vate Car to Travel in.
thn Nav York

Now He Has Ordered a $4,000 Pri-
vate Car to Travel in.
From the New York Sun.
SAN FRANCISCO, February H. - Oil
strikes in California are making poor men
millionaires as in the old days In Pennsy)-
vania One Of the strangest Of these freaks
of fortune came to John A. Bunting, for
mer freight brakeman on the Southern Pa
cific road, who has just ordered $4,000
private car
Ten years ago Bunting was keeper of a
railroad water tank on the desert near Tue
son. ArZ. Then he was advanced and
finally became freight brakeman. He
loaned friend S170 and took as collateral
a watch and mortgage on forty acres of
land in Kern county. The friend did not
paw so Bunting sold the watch and fore
clc sed the mortgage on the land. He tried
to sell the land, but could not get anything
for it. Recently oil was struck near his
place. He resigned and began to develop
his property. He struck oil and now is
rated as millionaire
Bunting came into the Office Of General
Manager Fillmore yesterday and sent in
his card. Fillmore sent back reply that
sent back an answer that he was not look
ing for jobs but wanted to buy private
car. Fillmore congratulated him and ad-
yised him to order car with all the latest
improvements, which would cost him $780,
OOO and meanwhile to rent a car from the
Southern Pacific. This he did. Bunting has
no expensive tastes except a strong desire
to travel in his own car and to have that
car as luxurious as 1T is possible to make it.

Commissioners TO the crowded condition Of
the institution, stating that the white male
ward had seven more patients than there
were beds; that the colored female ward
ored male ward had four more patients
than there were beds. All this caused dis
satisfaction among the staff and nurses as
well as the patients, and DR.. Hickling
therefore asked that he be allowed to re-
fuse admission TO patients when the ward
to which they must be assigned is full.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to the board of charities, which suggested
that the sanitary officer be instructed that
when the Washington Asylum Hospital is
filed to its normal capacity he make an
effort to secure the admission of the addi-
tional patients to other hospitals, but In
case the other hospitals refuse for any rea-
son to admit them, the board stated that it
did not deem 1t wise to then authorize DR..
Hickling to refuse the patients admission
to the Washington Asylum Hospital the
only one where the Commissioners can de-
mand that they be cared for.
The case was also referred to the sanitary
officer Mr. ]. A. Frank. who has reported
compliance with Dr. Hickling's request, as
the unfortunate sick and destitute his
Office has to deal with would, in that event.
be denied their last resort. Many of these
cases states Mr.. Frank. are without home
or shelter, and as the Washington Asylum
Hospital is the only institution over which
the Commissioners have control, he be-
lieves 1T would be prudent and wise to con-
tinue as heretofore. These reports the
Commissioners have approved.
