GAS COMPANY IN COURT.
Charged With Violation of the Smoke
law

A violation of the smoke law was alleged
against the Washington Gas Light Com
pany by Inspector Wollard. who appeared
In the Police Court this morning and COM
planned that dense gray smoke was emitted
from the stack at the plant In the south
east section. Thomas F. Holden, superin-
tendent Of the plant, was I'm court as de-
PENDANT in the case. Inspector Wollard told
the court that he watched the stack and
saw dense gray smoke emitted at intervals
the longest period It was emitted being two
and one-half minutes. He admitted that he
saw no black smoke come from the stack
Under cross-examination the inspector said
he knew the gray smoke was dense because
he could not see through it,
Mr.. Holden told the court that he had
experimental with fuel all during the Sc
we're weather and had done everything In
his power to prevent violation of the law
at the plant. At the time the inspector
took the observations, he said, there were
two fires burning. Soft coal was being used
in one and coke in the other. The gray
smoke complained of, the superintendent
said, came from the furnace in which the
soft coal was used.
Inspector Wollard said there was no OBJ
jectionable smoke from the coke fire and
the superintendent said he is now using
coke in both furnaces. He found that-eoile
is the only fuel, he said. he can use with
out danger of violating the law. He said
he had not been complained against before
and the court imposed fine of $40, the
lowest fine provided by the law.

CARE OF CONSERVATIVES

LACK OF FUNDS.
Movement Must Stop Unless Money
for Support is Forthcoming
Work Accomplished.

According to a member of the commit
tee appointed for the purpose: The ques-
ton must soon be answered by the citizens
of Washington whether the work now De-
ing done toward stamping out consumption
the great white plague'-from winch near
ly 500 people die every year, and about
three times that number are In TINS city
sick at the present minute, be continued or
shall 1t be allowed to die from lack of sup
port?''
He added: "a committee composed of
busy citizens, many of whom have had this
dread disease brought to their homes, has
labored strenuously for the past year to-
ward educating the public upon this sub
ject and has given time and money to-
ward those positive measures by which the
rayages of the disease in other places are
reduced 1t can never be known how sue
cessful or unsuccessful such work has been,
as little permanent good can be accomplish
ed until there is a general awakening TO
the facts underlying good sanitation and
the principles by which the great white
plague is to be fought.
"A summary of one years work Will serve
to show that this committee is doing some
thing, and a work with which the COM
munity cannot afford to dispense.
"Forty-four public lectures-almost all IL
Illustrated with stereopticon views-have
been given In churches, before CLUBS,
classes, ffaternal ORGANIZATIONS, anu III
some cases before the school children. 1t
is probable that this lecture campaign or
last year reached and instructed at least
10000 people.
Instruction cards and circulars dealing
with the principal facts which must be
known by the one who would help himself
toward recovery have been carried to the
very bedsides of consumptive patients and
have been circulated in all parts of the

have been prepared and disposed of by the

Physicians Cooperation Asked.

"All physicians in the city have been no.

regarding the dispensary; they have been
asked to cooperate and invited to use the
dispensary In the treatment of their cases
Cards of instruction for use among their
patients have been sent gratis with the
statement that more could be obtained at
any time
Congress has made no appropriation for
taking care of consumptives, rich or poor
The good example of Massachusetts, In
providing a well-equipped state sanitorium
and eleven other institutions, and of New
York with its twenty-four institutions, all
well patronized, seems to make no impress
sion on our national legislators, nor move
them to thought for the city which has the
highest death rate from this disease of any
city In the country except the two famous
consumptive resorts, Los Angeles and Dem

they would like very much to do something
In this emergency, but for lack of funds
have thus far been unable to do more than
obtain room for about thirty forty at

private institutions. This committee, there
fore. has solicited money first of all for the
erection of tents at the Asylum Hospital
Four tents for outdoor treatment are now
In use at the Asylum Hospital, and more
could be filled If provided. A dispensary
for examination and treatment, conducted
by the committee, was opened in Southwest
Washington early IN the winter, and In
three months, with very poor weather,
nearly one hundred patients received ex-
animation and are now being looked after
as well as facilities at hand will permit.
The dispensary has recently moved to the
northwest section, being located at 926 +

fronts the city and the work which Is being
done in other places, notably New York and

the awful conditions existing, and resolve
that IL the citizens now active can give
their time, thought and. as far as they are
able, their money to stamp out the great
