Appropriation Needed to
Break Up the Ice.
CONGRESS TO Be APPEALED 10
Washington Board of Trade Has
Taken Matter Under Consideration
Immediate Steps necessary to
Prevent Ice Gorge.

Alive to the danger of flood that would
be precipitated by a sudden thaw, accom-
panied by a warm rain rivermen and
property holders along the river front
are preparing 10 make such representa-
tions to Congress as Will secure an ap-
preparation FOR breaking up the ice in the
river and preventing it from forming
gorge that would inundate the entire
lower part of the city.
a committee of the Washington Board
of Trade has also had the matter under
consideration, and will probably formu-
late their plans for relief within the
next day or Two. The Bartholdi. small
boat running to one of the up river re-
sorts. has managed to keep the channel
clear as far as the Three Sisters Islands,
while numerous tugs have made an OPEN
ing from Georgetown to the Washington
wharves.
Smail HOats lowed to Safety.
In other places the ice is about SIX
inches thick, and unless the channel is
kept clear of ice it is feared that when
the thaw comes there will be jam
against the Long Bridge that may do Sc
rious damage to property in the lower
districts, if it does not carry away the
bridge. Already the owners of small
beats have had them towed to places of
safety out of the line of the current, in
the basin at the foot OF Seventeenth Street
northwest.
In the past under similar conditions
emergency appropriations have frequently
been secured for clearing the channel,
and in this way, it is claimed, many dis
astrous floods have been avoided.
Conditions last Year
Last year for a time there was some I'M
easiness when the ice broke up and the
river began to rise rapidly, as it invaria-
bly, does when the many mountain
streams begin to pour their pent-up con-
tents into the general outlet, the Potomac.
Water began to rise in the Easements of
a number of the business houses along
Louisiana Avenue and B Street, and in the
old Marble Saloon, at the corner of Ninth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, it reach
ed depth of several feet before it finally
began TO recede.

MODIFY Or REPEAL
ANTI-SMOKB Law
Eccentric Association of Engi-
neers Protest.
Declare Ii Is Impossible to Prevent
Violations of the Law without
Special Device.

A committee of the Eccentric Associa-
tion of Engineers, No. l, consisting of
Messrsr \. w. Leelle, ]. l.. Garner, ]. ].
Breen, c. A. Holmes. and S. S. league,
called upon :he District Commissioners
yesterday and placed before them a series
of resolutions asking for the modifcati ton
or repeal of the District smoke law.
The resolutions set forth the fact that
1t is necessary for the proper enforcement
of the law that a special device calculat-
ed to arrest or consume the smoke shall
be attached to the boilers, and the
resolutions aver that it is well-known
fact that there is no such device known
to machinists that will work satisfac-
torily
The resolutions declare that II is utter
ly impossible to prevent violations of the
law in the absence of such a device, and
as consequence attempts to enforce the
law must result in failure or discrimina-
ton against firms, corporations, and indi-
viduals using stationary engines and boil
ers.
Repeal or Modification.
Such being the facts of the situation,
the association calls upon the Commits
sioners to give the only relief possible in
the repeal of the law or such modification
as will allow the escape of some smoke
consistent with careful stocking.
The Commissioners received the resolu-
lions and had conference with the COM
mittee, in which the latter was informed
that in the opinion of the Commissioners
public sentiment demands that the law
as it stand shall be enforced, and that
still more stringent measures be taken
against allowing the escape of smoke
from the stacks and chimney5 of boiler
furnaces.
Mr.. John Z. McGaw, superintendent of
the Purity Ice Company's plant. forfeited
SIS on each of two charges of violating
the smoke law when called for trial in
the Police Court yesterday.
Mr.. John D. Coughlin, manager of the
Fendall Building, forfeited s25 on SINH
lar charge.
Mr.. T. Franklin Schneider. of the Cairo
Flats, charged with disregarding the same
law, demanded trial by jury.

The republicans of Mesa county are
banking in the coming election on
the vote which was cast for their can
didates last fall. They tiatter them
selves that the same conditions exist
now as We're in effect then. For their
information we will say they need
count on but very few disgruntled
democrats voting their ticket this fall.
The votes of the democracy will be
cast for democrats. The victory they
gained last fall was given them main
ly through the efforts of portion of
the democratic party of Mesa county,
who believed that portion of the
party needed to be rebuked. 1t will
not be the case this year Every dem
ocrat has the harness on in the present
