READY FOR HEARING.
Investigation of Cause of Potomac
River Pollution.

Major Sylvester announced today that,
In his opinion, enough evidence has been
obtained to begin the prosecution in the
Police Court of the persons who are al
legged to have thrown gas tar and oil into
the river, in violation of the police regula-
lions of the District. The police are at
work collecting the evidence which will be
necessary to secure the conviction of the
persons who are said to be responsible for
the condition of the water, and it is be-
lieved that something will be done to make
such performances in the future rarity.
AS soon as the police obtain evidence that
they believe is applicable they turn it over
to Assistant Corporation Counsel Thomas,
who has been instructed to take charge of
the cases for the District and begin the
prosecutions in the Police Court.
An investigation is in progress as to the
cause of the death of hundreds of fish in
the Potomac river above Anacostia. Major
Sylvester, acting in the dual capacity of
District. has secured samples of the inks
and other fluids from the waste carried
into the river from the bureau of engray-
ing and printing and will have the sam
pies analysed to determine whether or not
anything in this waste matter would cause
the death Of such quantities of fish.
1t is stated, however, that whether or not
the gas tar. oil, etc, cause the death of the
fish, the District has ample authority to
stop the deposit Of such matter in the
river and this prosecution will go on en-
tirely Independent of the investigation as
to the death of the fish. 1t is the desire of
the District officials to determine what has
fort will be made to reach this conclu-
sion.

principles of your order must commend
themselves to all right-minded men and
women. Such and women desire to
see your people thrifty and self-helpful

from the latter will benefit the state as
well as yourselves.

The proposed formation of this new
building or basic trades body is said to
be due to the differences which have ex-

the council of allied building trades. The

union workmen will, it Is said become
members Of the new Independent alliance.
