POLLUTION OF STREAMS.
The State Health Board Has Neither
Power Nor Funds.

The frequent receipt of letters at the
State Board of Health calling attention to
the pollution of streams and asking
the board for relief leads the secretary to
remark as follows: 1.-The last Legislature
refused to give the State Board of Health
any power or funds for controlling the
pollution of streams. The laboratory bill
covered the matter perfectly, but, never
theless, it didn't pass. This bill was fierce
ly opposed in the Senate, but finally
passed, and. although it passed to third
reading in the House, no influence seemed
powerful enough 10 bring it to final pass
age. The bill contained the best features
of stream pollution laws of other States
and should have become a law. Had it
been made a law the factory pollution of
streams would almost certainly have been
stopped by this time and the factories
saved 10 the State.
I'm addition, the work of stopping the
sewage pollution of streams would have
been started. Sewage from cities and
towns is the most polluting matter known.
II bears disease germs, and factory refuse
does not. White river and the Wabash are
now simply open, noisome sewers, bur
dened by cities and towns with untold tons
of sewage, and from factories with untold
tons of refuse.
1--WE will not be a practical and econom-
ical people to permit stream pollution to
continue. | hope those who look to the
State Board of Health for relief i'm the
matter of stream pollution will soon under
stand the situation and lend their help i'm
the matter of getting proper and needed
legislation

HIS REMARKS DISTORTED
CAPTAIN FORSYTH SORRY HE DIS
UssED THE sCHLEY CASE.
Fifteen of SchIey's Witnesses Sum-
mOned for N Conference at WASH
ington-Pilot Nunez TO Testify.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-A reply has
been received at the Navy Department
from Captain Forsyth to the letter calling
his attention to an alleged interview pub
lished on the subject of the Schley court
of inquiry. An earlier letter of the de-
partment to Captain Forsyth, it appears.
did not reach him.. The following state
ment of the character of the reply was
made at the department:
Captain Forsyth while coming East
was detained over Sunday at Kansas City,
Mo. He declined TO talk with a reporter.
1t seems, however. that he fell into pri-
Vate conversation with some person In the
hotel, with no idea that what he said
would be repeated in any form. His re-
marks were distorted. and were used to
form the substance of the alleged inter-
view. Captain Forsyth has made such dis
claimer, and has so frankly avowed his
deep regret at any indiscretion in the
premises that the department is salts
fed there was no intent on his part of vio-
lating the order of the department to re-
frain from public statement. No action will
be taken by the department, further than
to inform Captain Forsyth that his ex-
PLANTATION is satisfactory and the incident
will not be treated as affecting his ex-
cellent record"
kilograms were sent by the Navy De-
partment to-day to about fifteen of the
witnesses asked for by Admiral Schley IN
the coming court OF inquiry to proceed to
Washington for conference with the adj
mirals attorneys. These witnesses are To-
Gated nearly all in the East. mainly at
Newport, Philadelphia and New York.
After the conference they will return to
their respective posts and will be ordered
to Washington again when Admiral
Schley's attorneys are ready TO call them
before the court.
1t is understood that Nunez, the Spanish
pilot, who was a close observer of the bat
tie of Santiago bay, having piloted Admiral
Cervera's squadron out Of the bay on the
day of the memorable s%ortie. is to be re-
quested by the Navy Department TO come
here as q witness.

DUNPHY BILL INDORSED.
Congress VIII he Asked by Letter
Carriers to Pass the Measure.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept 5.-The
fourth day Of the National Association Of
Letter Carriers convention was devoted
entirely to business. A supplemental re-
port of the credentials committee showed
$40 officers and delegates present, the larg-
est number in the history of the organiza-
ton. f. w. B~aumhoff, postmaster at st.
Louis, made an address in which he in
vited the 1903 convention to visit the Louisi-
ana purchase fair. The afternoon was set
apart for debate on the salary bill, two
and a half hours being allowed each side.
The larger cities desired the convention
to indOrse the Dunphy bill, now pending
first-class cities the pay shall be 81, 200 per
year and in the SecOnd-clasS cities 81 900.
The second proposition was known as the
equalization bill, which equalized the pay
$1,000. The Dunphy bill did not pass both
houses at the last term of Congress, and
the delegates from the second-claSS cities
contended that Congress would not pass
the bill on account of the increase Of the
expenditure: 1t raises the pay in the sec
ond-class offices from $3.50 and the salary in
the first-class ones from 81 600. The dele
gates from the frSt-claSS cities fought the
equalization bill on account of the fact
that 1T did not entertain a raise of their
pay. The vote stood for the Endorsement
of the Dunphy bill, SIS; against, 4S9. The
contest was spirited and the delegates were
heated i'm the extreme.
The national president of the Letter Car
rierS' Mutual Benefit Association made the
annual report for the NJ. Il. A. this morn
ing. 1t showed notable progress during the
year. During the year ending July /, 1901,
the amount of $40, 500. 80 was paid i'm benefits.
and the total amount since the institution
of the association in 1891 is $40, $40. 80.

Chicago Evening Post.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Potter announce the
engagement of their daughter. Miss Mar
garet Horton Potter, to Mr.. JOIN Black, a
young attorney, of Chicago, and son of Gen.
John c. Black, % Scott street. Miss Pot
ter's engagement is one of more than ordi-
nary interest. as besides being one OF the
most admired bellies OF the city she has
made great success in the literary field. her
first novel being written when she was
scarcely sixteen years old. Miss Potter is
now only twenty, and made her debut two
years ago, the event being one of the most
memorable and brilliant occasions of that
season.
Notwithstanding her many social claims
she found time TO write and give to the pub
lie an historical romance. "UncanOT lied
which attracted attention. although her
more recent novel, The House of De Mail
ly." in all probability has won for her more
widespread attention than anything she
has Vet attempted. At present she is writ
ing a novel the scenes of which are laid in
Egypt. and for the material of which she
journeyed to Egypt last winter, remaining
in the land of the Nile for som months.
Mr.. Black. who is also we'll known So
cially. since his college days has devoted
himself TO the practice Of law. No date
has been set for the wedding. although in
all probability il will take place near the
holidays. Mr.. and Mrs. Potter have closed
their handsome summer home at Lake
Geneva, and the family will return TO the
100 AXE Shore drive. which was closed al
most all of last winter during Mr.. and Mrs.
Potter absence in California and Miss Pot
ter's journey 10 Europe.

Rough Notes. the local insurance journal.
says i'm it's current issue:
The Merchants Association has con-
ferred with Inspector GoOdloe. of the local
inspection bureau. TO prepare a plan bv
which a further credit may be secured i'm
the new rating schedule by Improvements
in the fire department. The present creGit
for the department is 3S.5 per cent. With
out the recent Improvements the credit
would have been but 23.5 per cent. This
practical demonstration of the working of
schedule rating has resulted in etermining
the merchants to secure as great a reduc7
ton in this way as possible. 1t is remem-
bered that Expert w. II. Johnson who
was sent here to make an inspection of tbe
city, recommended improvements i'm tbe do
partment which would have aggregated in
cost s20O.Oo0. Through the impeachment Of
politics this was cut down by the citv 10
an appropriation Of 500. 900. The merchants
have a plan drawn up. il is understood. but
il will not be made public until after the
election this fall in order that it may not
again be blocked by political Influences.
As was predicted, the application of the
new schedule is resulting in many i'm
proVements in risks to secure reductions in
rates. a general movement along this line
will greatly reduce the fire hazard in this

Drugged Fruits Not Wanted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Treasury
Department has received through the sec
rotary of state an inquiry from the United
States consul at Marseilles, France, as 10
whether he should refuse consular certi-
fication of invoices of fruits preserved by
the application of salicylic and benzoic
acids. The matter was referred to the
secretary of agriculture, who reports that.
in his opinion. the importation of fruits
in this manner should not be permitted.
The Treasury Department, therefore. has
requested that the United States consular
officers I'm France be instructed to refuse
authorization of invoices of such goods
intended for shipment to the United States.
The basis of this action is the theory that
fruits preserved as indicated are injurious

NEW APPENDIX THEORY.
Denver Surgeon Says 1t Has a Func-
ton to Perform.

DENVER, Sept. 5.-Dr. l.. p. Hershey,
known as the leading surgeon of Denver,
stirred up the Interstate Medical Associa-
ton to-day with the positive statement that
the vermiform appendix has a function to
perform in spite of the reiterated state
ments of the worlds wiSeSt medical men
that it is without use and may be removed
with impunity.
DR.. Hershey advanced the theory that the
appendix has a secretory function, serving
as a lubricant to the great intestines, and
that any interference with the organ
brings about other forms of sickness and
a multitude of disorders, including fatal
constipation.
These statements led to many passionate
criticisms, the speakers all protesting
against allowing such heterOdox theories to
go forth as the Endorsed sentiment of the
meeting. Finally by resolution DR.. Hershey
was instructed to conduct experiments, re-
tain notes of his observations and report
results a wear hence.

city and the local members of the Ma
tiOnal Founders Association, which threat
ened TO result in a strike was amicably
settled at a meeting of the molders' union
here tonight. Two weeks ago a joint ses-
sion was held between committees of the
National Founders Association and the
international Iron Molders' Union. The
wage scale was fixed, and an increase from
$50 to $3.50 for bench molders, and from
81. 70 to S2.S5 for floor mOlders was granted.
The trouble that arose to-day, the men
claim, was due TO a refusal of the manu-
facturers to sign the agreement unless the
men accepted certain conditions that were
not included i'm the agreement. These con-
ditions the molders' union agreed TO accept
at their meeting tonight.
