LAMPbLACK FACTORY
PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
It's OUTPUT Was Worth Only SI2,
but 1t Used $4,000 Worth of
Natural Gas.
NOVEL KENTUCKY CASE

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec 12-The Court
of Appeals has reversed the judgment of
the Meade Circuit Court in the case of the
Calor Oil and Gas Company against w. c.
McGhee and affirmed it in the case of the
Louisville Gas Company against the Ken
lucky Heating Company.
The cases grew out of alleged efforts of
the Louisville Gas Company to destroy the
Meade county natural gas fields. from
which the Kentucky Heating Company has
for years been securing the gas which 1t
furnished to customers of Louisville The
Louisville Gas Company officers organized
the Calor Oil and Gas Company, the stock
holders being A Hite Barrett, Udoph
Sneed and j. B. Speed. This company took
over a lot OF leases in the Meade district.
On this territory 1t erected what was
called a lampblack factory. This factory
was constructed with a stockade about it,
inside or which no one was allowed
to enter and firearms were discharged
to keep the neighbors away. When 1T be-
gan operations the Kentucky Heating Com
pany had gas pressure of sixty pounds,
and in five months this reduced to
thirty pounds. The force of the lampblack
factory was two men, one for night and
another for night. In five months the fac
tory produced 300 pounds of lampblack
worth cents pound, and had consumed
about ninety million feet of the natural gas.
No lampblack was ever shipped away
from the factory. On these facts the chan
oellor enjoined the operation of the lamp
black factory as violating the statutory
laws against the wasting of natural gas.
The retail price of natural gas for fuel In
Louisville is So cents per 1000 feet. making
the value Of the gas alleged to have been
consumed in making $l2 worth Of lamp
to-day puts the lampblack factory out OF
| business.

ton in person to the Board Of Public
Works yesterday on matters relating TO the
recent order of the board that interurban

full authority under it's contract with the
city street car company to compel the lat

of city traffic require. AS the city service
Is known to be the best in the country Mr.
Henry stated, in his opinion, there should
be no necessity for using interurban cars in

VENTILATION POOR.
Board of Charities Recommends
Changes in Asylum.


After trip of inspection to the Asylum
for Incurable Insane the County Board of
Charities and Corrections made it's report
yesterday TO the County Board of Commits
sioners. The report recommended that
some means be devised whereby better VEN
tilation may be secured in some of the sleep
ing rooms on the second floor, where, on ac-
count of the conditions of the inmates, who
cannot be removed from their beds, the air
is very bad.
The board also recommended the employ
ment of a man and a woman as night watch
in each of the wards. There have been sew
eral instances where inmates have had cpl
leptic fits and even died I'm the night with
out care. A third recommendation was that
the asylum should not care for inmates
who have an income sufficient to support
themselves. In the employment of super
intendent the board suggested that one
with small family be secured as he could
live much more economically.

WAS JOHN W. MOORE
KILLED BY ACCIDENT?.
Some Believe He Was Muir
dered, OILERS Think Train
Run Him Down

The body of join w. Moore, colored,
which was found lying along the Della
ware railroad tracks, near Townsend,
early Sunday morning is at the
morgue here. The jury impaneled by
Coroner Mccormick to make an in
quest into the unfortunate mans death
reached a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by foul means and
recommended that the attorney-gen-
eral make an investigation.
What viii be done with the body
nobody appears to know. Whether a
post-mortem examination would be
made couldn't be learned.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to the manner in which
Moore met his death. While some
thing that after having been put off
the train at Townsend for refusing to
give up his ticket he was struck by a
train, others think he was murdered.
Detective Ratledge, when seen this
morning, said that he had as yet not
been detailed on the case, and didn't
know a thing about it.

ProbatiOner Officer

Mrs. Frederic Schoff. of Philadelphia,
president Of the National Congress of
Mothers, who was one of the speakers at
the Delaware State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs in Biddletown the latter part
of last week, told some things about the
juveaile court which were of much inter
est. Particularly so was her description Of
the work of the probation officer who
I'm most cases, is a woman.
Instead of making the child promise to
be good. and sending him home, the court
places him in charge Of a probation Of
icer, and then lets him go home. The pro-
baton officer becomes the boys watch
man and his friend, guarding him against
himself. and, in some cases, against his
parents. IA
A few months practical working of the
act has shown what a wonderful agency
for good the probation officer is. She has,
by reason Of her appointment by the court
an official position. Her station Is one OF
grave responsibility and great honor, but
of no profit. The act distinctly says that
the officer shall receive no compensation
from the public treasury. This will keeI
them from the communicating touch Of
party politics, and prevent this particular
office being sought after.
