CITY INSPECTOR BEGINS
AN ANT|-SMOKE CRUSADE
Steps Taken to Secure Abatement
of Violations of Ordinance and
Big Buildings Inspected.
STOKERS ARE NOT USED
Visits Paid to Two or Three
Establishments That Burn
Much Coal.

Steps to enforce the anti-smoke ordinance
were taken by Building Inspector STANLEY
yesterday, when he directed letter 10 John
Wocher, agent for the Century building IN
which he stated that his attention had Deen
called to the dense smoke that is emitted by
the smokestack there, and that when he had
investigated he found that two American
stokers in the boiler room had been aban-
doned because of their incapacity to do the
work. Mr.. Stanley inclosed a copy OF the
anti-smoke ordinance. and stated that he
trusted Mr.. Wocher would give the matter
his immediate attention and save him the
unpleasant duty of peremptory measures
Mr. Stanley continued his tour OF inspec-
ton" yesterday, in an effort TO ascertain
what steps, if any, can be taken to enforce
the law relating to the prevention of the
smoke nuisance. He discussed his conclu-
sions with the Journal last night.
MY observation leads me to believe" ;"
said the inspector, that the difficulty does
not lie in the consumption of smoke alto
gether, or in some device that will produce
a more perfect combustion. but in many in
stances find that the boilers are too small
or that the stokers are not large enough Tor
the boilers. and in many cases the smoke
cient draught"
At the Century building two machines of
a type known as the Huff smoke consumer
and stoker are used, which the engineer
thinks is equal to any machine in use. Two
six-foot American stokerS are attached TO
furnaces that require eight-foot stokers. AS
the latter were abandoned, but two stokers
are used when there should be four.
| II next went TO the New York Store,
said the Inspector where they have the
Murphy stokers. The engineer would not
trade them for anything in sight. He said
| that where they did not do the work sue
cessfuly ii was because they We're not
properly installed that the engineer did
| not understand his business
AT the State Life building they are using
| the American stokers. and notwithstanding
| they have been abandoned by some, the en-
| gineer would not exchange them for any
thing that has vet been invented"

WONDERS OF TIE COLISEUM
Demono Wins AppIause-Every

Wednesday night on the Parker
Pike was a winner. If the Weather

crouch and do the square thing
there would be things doing Ne
gotiations are in progress with the
railroads and it is probable that
Friday an Saturday will see
thousands of excursionists In the

fractions continue to please and
their cleanliness impress the peo-
pie. 1t is out OF the order of the
general run Of carnivals.
A representative Of the Express
becoming interested in Mary and
Johns trip to the clouds, took a
lift in the Ferris Wheel last night.
Mary was not along however, his
companion being a Parker man.
The big wheel stopped when
they were at the top and like Mary,
the EXPRESS man unconsciously
clutched at the arm Of his friend.
He understood Johns secret of
success and when the wheel stop
ped went down the Pike looking
for a lady Of his own.

mona made one of the prettiest
loops of the season, and was greet
ed with cheers as She stepped out
of the receiving net after her peri
lous journey.
Bert Wheeler, the peer Of comic
jugglers, again made good with his
audience. There's a crackerlack
for true and the stunts he can't do
are not worth mentioning. The
lamp and the glass of water trick
brought forth merited applause.
Mack Wheeler, the novelty
cyclist, made another tenstrike.
