GAS TAR AND OIL
KILLING THE FISH
Experts Make Report on
Eastern Branch Trouble.
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW
Major Sylvester Getting Evidence in
Shape for Decisive Action-Dis-
trict Laws Violated.

Gas tar and oil are the causes OF ths
destruction Of fish in the Eastern
Branch, according TO a report submit
ted 20 the District authorities yester-
day by Prof. B. w. Everman Of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor. the
report having been prepared on the re-
quest OF Major Sylvester who IS stfu
busi!y employed in collecting evidence
on which to base prosecutions. against
the parties responsible for the pollution
OF the. Potomac water.
Everman reports that on August Is he
and Policeman Quincy made a thorough
inspection Of the Eastern Branch. going
in boat TO the Pennsylvania Railroad
crossing, and coming down the main
channel through the Pennsylvania Ave
nue. bridge, down TO the Anacostia
bridge, passing in front Of the gas
works
Water Foul.
The water was quite foul every
where says the written report. In
perhaps a dozen different places We stir
red up the bottom with a long pole In
every case more or less oil and tar came
70 the surface. and samples OF the bot
rcm brought Up on the pole were strong
y contaminated with tar and oil In
the vicinity OF the gas works the sur
face Of the water was covered with oil.
and the bottom with a thick coat OF tar
and other refuse, evidently from the gas
works. The shore between tides IN the
sane vicinity was black with gas works
refuse.
The only species Of fish found dead
was the yellow perch. a Mr.. Bailey,
who keeps boats for hire al the city side
or the Anacostia Bridge, informed me
that dead fish have been seen IN the
vicinity by him every summer for sew
eral years past. and that the present
is not greater than he had
previously noticed.
May Prosecute.
HE is certain, however, that the re-
fuse from the gas works is the cause
Of the destruction Of the fish
Under present conditions, it is prob
ably not possible to get any stronger
evidence than had already been secured
in the matter The experiments per-
formed by the bureau last fall seem to
have been sufficient TO establish beyond
question the deleterieus character OF the
refuse"
Major Sylvester IS OF the opinion that
the evidence can be secured perfectly

the prosecutions would certainly be

and his friends bolted the convention

This state OF affairs has given the

Mr.. Gaines now says that the trouble

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Representative

HAVE HAD TOO
MUCH POLITICS

BALTIMORE. Aug. 27-Politicians Of
every shade Of opinion agree that never
since 1850 has there been more apathy
exhibited among the local voters than
at present
The street car and barber shop gossip
usual at this stage Of a campaign IS
conspicuous by fits almost entire absence.
and those who make a speciality Of talk
ing politics on tht. curbstone and in pub
lie offices can find but few to listen 70
their observations
The leaders on both sides. though. don't
object to thss condition for they say a
snort, sharp campaign is much less eX-
pensiVe and WearisOme, and there will
be plenty or excitement before the cleo
Too Much Voting.
One Of the reasons advanced for this
condition IS that Baltimoreans have had
surfeit Of politics for the last two
years. Commencing with the Congress
sional primaries and election Of 1902. the
series led . in rapid succession 70 the
spring primaries and the municipal cleo
ton Of 1909. the fall primaries, and the
State election Of the same year. and the
special election OF last May
The average voter. IL IS said, has con-
cluded that he has had too much poll
tics
The principal topic Of interest in the
political dOldrums Of today was the
''black-dog dare" OF Congressman VII
liam H. Jackson 10 former Gov John
Walter Smith.
Brotherly Understanding.
Former Governor Smith, who was in
Baltimore. has gone to his home in
Snow Hin. but his friends here said
today that they had no idea that he
would permit Mr. Jackson to goad him
into becoming a candidate or that H.
would pay any attention 10 or discuss
the challenge.
The interview Is accepted as cOnclu-
slve proof though. that there Is a
thorough accord between William H. /
Jackson and his brother former Gov
+. +. Jackson, who declined the Con-
gressiOnal nomination unanimously ten
dered him by the Democrats Of the First |
district AT their convention held at

TO oppose each other as rival candi- /

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name OF SINGER stands
for family sewing machine inevery
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine "S" is found
in every city in the world, and no prod.
uct of American skill is better known,
or has 4 wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, onei in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
attaching all kinds of buttons, hooks
aad eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing-machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for thousand or more spe.
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown and the various
types of sewing. machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

woven the suns gold into such tresses
or made such eyes from a scrap Of
June sky and a spark of opal fire.
From the crown of her jeweled hair
to the toe of her little red shoe. there
was not one line misplaced, one curve
forgotten. while her motions were as
graceful as blowing willows.
When the pair came toward her
over the carpet Of leather-hued leaves
she put out white hand in beckoning.
Come here. my Valkyria, and let me
try If l can make you look still more
like a gay bird from over the East
Sea-"
splendid bird. lady," Randalin said
gratefully, as she knelt to receive the
woodland crown.
Elfgiva patted the brown cheeks in
acknowledgment, and also In delight
at the effect of her handiwork. You
are an honor to my art. A hundred
plans are In my mind against the time
that this peace shall be over, and we
are obliged to return to that loathful
house where we suffer SO much with
dullness that the quarrels Of my little
brats are the only excitement we
have"
Still kneeling for the white fingers
to pat and pull at her head-dress. Ran
dalin looked up wonderingly. "Is it
your belief that King Canute will not
carry out his intention. lady. that you
say when the peace is over? know
for certain that it Is expected to last
forever"
Forever" The lady's voice was an
echo of sweet mockery. Take half a
kingdom when n whole lies almost
within his reachc Now l will not
deny that the King is sometimes boy
ish Of mood. but rarely that foolish"
She seemed to toss the idep from her
with the leaves she shook from her
robe Us che rose and moved back step
to see the wreath from a new point.
Turn your head this way, child. Yes.

age it, lady, SO that 1 may go back
with you"
Pausing in her work, Elfgiva looked
down in surprise. Now what should
PREVENT" she asked.
The girl colored a little as she an
swered: 1T was in the Kings mind
once, lady, that good way to dispose
Of Randalin, Frode's daughter, would
be to marry her to the son of LODI
brok. If he should still keep that opin-
ion-I would prefer to die!" she ended
abruptly.
But the Kings wife laughed her rip
pling laughter that had in it all the
music of falling waters. "Shed no
tears over that, ladybird! Would be
apt to let such an odious bear as
Rothgar Lodbroksson rob me of my
newest plaything? There! Now my
work could not be improved upon"
Again she moved back, her beautiful
head tilted in birdlike examination.
Randalin arose slowly and stood be-
fore her with widening eyes.
But it was not long that the Lady
of Northampton had for her or for
her wreath. Bending, she peered curl
ously under the branches. II wonder
If it. has happened that the King has
sent someone to meet us?" she ex-
claimed.
II see CLEAN of scarlet, lady," the
maiden of the riverbank came to tell
her eagerly.
But even as E1fgiva was turning to
dispatch a page for news, the throng
of moving figures parted, and from it
two horsemen emerged and rode to-
ward them. One was the mighty son
Of Lodbrok, clad in the scarlet mantle
and gilded mail of the Kings guard.
The other, who wore no armor at all,
only feasting-clothes of purple velvet,
was the King himself.
The whole troop of butterfly pages
rushed forward to take possession of
