GAS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
O SERIOUS LEAKAGES HERE
w. III. Lcvings of Local Gas Company
Thinks New York Situation
Is Exaggerated.

The startling statement of James G.
Bayles. ex-president of the health depart
ment of New York, before recent meet
ing of the medical society of New York,
that one eleventh Of the gas produced for
use by New Workers in Manhattan Dor
ough leaks from the, mains and has
greater effect on the death rate than all
other causes of mortality combined, is
discredited by w. H. Levings, Of the Min
neapolis Gas Light company.
DR.. Bayles said that the leakage IN New
York amounted to 100000 cubic feet per
mile of mains each year, and not less
than 5000, 900 cubic feet all told each day.
Mr.. Levings says there would be no ex-
cuse for any such leakage unless the
plumbing was looked after in a very slip
shod manner. Further he explained:
There are various reasons why gas pipes
spring leaks from time to time. but under
any such system Of inspection as we have In
this city such breaks: are readily discovered
and promptly remedied Probably the most
fruitful cause of lea<a ges. i'm Minneapolis. as
elsewhere, and the evil with which we have
most to contend is the, water caused by con-
densation in the pipes This causes the pipes
to rust and disintegrate in time In many
cities also electrolysis is another destructive
quantity which will cut through any pipe il
comes in contact with. Should gas escape in
large quantities under such circumstances its
effect upon the health OF the community would
have to be listed as an accident such as Is
bound to occur inthe best regulated of cities
In New York it may he that the installation
Of gas mains has been carelessly looked after
which would permit leakage on the wholesale
order complained Of - - ~

SUGAR WAR IN SIGHT
Trust Storing Supplies in the West
in Preparation.
TACTICS IN THE SOUTHWEST
1t Is Said They Will BE Brought Into
Use In the North
west.

Indications point to a renewal OF the
bitter fight begun last year between the
American Sugar Refining company and
the beet sugar factories for the trade OF
the middle west. The trust is sending
sugar west at a low rate and storing IT
SO as to be in better position to under
bid the beet sugar manufacturers.
At present the trust Is especially active
in the southwest in what is known as the
Missouri river territory. Nebraska, Coll
orado and California beet factories have
been making a bid for this trade. Last
year the fight became so fierce. that the
trust cut the price $3.50 per hundred in
order to force the beet sugar men to
fill their contracts with the wholesalers
at loss. The announcement that the
trust has shipped 200 cars via the gulf
and Galveston to the Missouri river at
low through rate shows that it is making
early preparations for the summer cam
paign. Shipping by water and rail and
storing at western points Is new de-
parture.
The trust began it's campaign against
beet sugar in both the northwest and
southwest two years ago by asking the
wholesalers to use their influence in keep
Ing the beet sugar factories out Of the re-
fining business. The proposition was
made to have the beet concerns manu-
facture only raw sugar. 1t was pointed
out that if the trust controlled the re-
fined output. the sugar market would; not
be demoralized and the wholesalers would
make a sure although small profit instead
of being forced to do business at loss
as might be the case should the beet
product become an important factor and
demoralize the market. The beet men OF
the middle west declined to quit refining.
Last year when the fight on the Mis-
souri, river was begun the northwest was
included to some extent. 1t Is believed
by men we'll informed on sugar traffic that
the trust will adopt the same tactics II
the northwest that it is using IN the
southwest. Instead Of shipping all rail II
may seek cheaper route by the lakes
and store large quantity in the north
west to meet successfully the beet pro-
ducts competition in the fall months
Although beet sugar cuts but small
figure in northwest consumption the trus'
is anxious to hold it down and at the
same time head off any new factories
Beet sugar men say that they nave
proof that the trust does not control
single beet sugar factory in the United
States in spite of reports to the contrary

CAN STOP COLD TEA
Senators and Congressman Who
Drink Will Have It Anyway. !
BUT FEW ARE HARD DRINKERS
Lands Resolution Can Have
Small Effect.

''It makes me laugh" said General w.
D. Washburn, former senator from Min
nesota, when his attention was called to
the action of congress yesterday in adopt
ing an amendment to the immigration
bill. prohibiting the sale of intoxicants in
the national capitol.
cit has come to be almost an annual
farce,'' continued the senator, land that's
all that this amendment offered by Kene7.
saw Mountain Landis, of Indiana, will
accomplish. The congressman who voted
for the amendment were,of course, we'll
aware of the fact that it will be de-
feeted in the senate tomorrow, but that
was the least thing to engage their atten-
ton. Whatever odium attaches to vot-
ing it down must rest Upon the senate
II know from my own observation, as "a
member of the United States senate, that
any such bill would fail of it's purpose
for the simple reason that the senator's,
or congressman either, who drink to ex-
cess are invariably the ones who always
have their bottle with them or have it in
convenient reach in the ante room. 1t
may be that they seldom take drink
daughts when opportunity offers to make
which cases they probably take long deep
drauhts when opportunity offers to make
up for lost time. I call to mind that just
such tippler was certain we'll known
senator from Kentucky, who was full OF
whisky most of the time, yet he was sell
dom known to take drink. AS a mat
ter of fact there is no very excessive
drinking in either branch Of the national
legislature. Mind you, I refer only to
the few men who were known to be heavy
drinkers, and without exception they were
men who kept a bottle handy with them
and were not affected by any stringent
rules that might from time to time be
adopted as to drinking in the capitol. The
sergeant-at arms used to provide for any
such emergency by keeping friendly
bottle in his coat pocket for the use OF
thirsty members who for some reason
might be unable to secure cold tea IN
the senate restaurant. AS rule there
was no difficulty experienced in getting
all the cold tea one wanted"

NOT FELT HERE
Effects of Snwmill Men's Strike
Conditions Differ.

The strike of sawmil1 employees along
the SIT. Croix river, which became general
Tuesday, except at Hudson, Wis, Is not
affecting the local situation. Said H. G.
Akeley of the Akeley Lumber company:
There is no opportunity for cur employees to
involve US in the dispute. Along the St.
Crcix the men want a ten-hour day and pay
for eleven hours. No such demand can be
made upon us, because we pay by the hour,
a man being paid so much extra for every
hour overtime The men can work eight,
ten or twelve hours, Just as they please, and
be paid every cent due them UP to the moment
of quitting. ...-- 49,.
Mr. Akeley further observed that in his
estimation profit sharing would ultimately
be found to be the only satisfactory means
of adjusting the differences between CAPT
tai and labor. Payment by the hour he
regards as form of profit sharing.
