Smoke Tests Required.

10 the Editor Of The Evening Star
AS a subscriber to your paper. I take the
liberty of making a brief protest against
the sta tute known the smoke law. l
have been in charge of apparatus for gen.
Grating steam for about twenty years. and
] think it about time for the engineers en-
ployed in the District to make themselves
heard on the subject. There is no appa-
ratus or device that will stop smoke from
emanating from stack. no matter how
carefully the plant is handled and 1t does
not seem fair that Congress should pass a
law that will operate against the industri
of the District without carefully investl-
eating the matter and satisfying them
selves beyond a reasonable doubt that it
can be done.
BY looking in any text book on the sub
Ject of combustion it can be clearly seen
than by stopping smoke a large saving
in fuel would result, and that alone would
install some system to prevent the smoke
as that would be simple business promo
sition. ff~
think this matter Is of such Importance
as TO justify Congress to appropriate a
suiilcIent sum to be expended in a series of
tests 10 determine If the law thew have
made Is Just | would like to hear FROM,
some OF my brother engineers on this sinh
1ect' as they are, in my opinion the ones IN
prihs the matter to Congress In the proper
light BY investigation IL will he found
mat the greatest offenders are the ones
that have the latest and most imnrowed
so-called smoke burning devices Installed
in their plants. T. s TJNCHEp

NEAR TO DEATHS DOOR.
Two Virginia Visitors in Critical Con
dition at Casualty Hospital.


Two inaugural visitors from Virginia
w. NJ Moses of Level Run and w. K. Ad-
kins of Chatham-were almost dead from
the effects of gas when found today in their
room at 800 East Capitol street. It was
nearly noon when they were discovered
and the police notified. The unconscious
men were taken to the Casualty Hospital
in critical condition. and the doctors were
Obliged to use heroic measures to save their
lives. Sergeant w. F. Falvey and several
officers of the ninth precinct went to the
East Capitol street house in response to a
message, making remarkably quick run.
It took them less than ten minutes to get
from the station to the house and then to
the hospits,,.
The two virginians reached here last
night. They were disappointed at finding
that room they had engaged was &C.
cupied. They then started out in search
of accommodations and were directed to
the house on East Capitol street by
colored man. 1t was after IL O'Clock when
they reached the house and probably mid
night when they retired. They said they
were tired and were not asked their names
When they failed to get up this morning
in time for breakfast they were not called
as the landlady thought they probably
wanted to sleep late. About noon her son
went to the corridor near the room they
occupied and broke open the door when he
detected the odor of gas. Drs. Repetti and
Ketcham were summoned and attended the
men until the patrol wagon came. to re-
move them to the hospital
Mr.. Moses had a card Of Identification in
his possession and his friend had in his
pocket certificate of deposit on the bank
at Chatham. 1t was stated on the card of
Identification that Mrs. Moses should be
notified in the event any disaster should
happen to her husband.
It was stated at the hospital this after
noon that the condition of Mr.. Adkins
appeared to be slightly better than that
OF Mr.. Moses.

TO CONTROL DRUG TRADE.
Reputed Gigantic Combination Reveal
ed in Hearing at Chicago.

CHICAGO March 3.-The existence of a
gigantic combination controlling the drug
trade of the United States. and costing the
consumers si0,000,OO0 annually, is held to
have been proved by the hearing just con-
cluded before Special United States Com
missioner Marshall Z. Sampsel The
amount of business controlled by the COM
blnation is placed at 500 100000 yearly.
The evidence taken before Commissioner
Sampsel is said to be so conclusive that it
probably will be placed in the hands of At
torney General Moody for prosecution on
the part of the government.
The fight against the combination is being
made by large retail druggist in Philadel-
phia who is suing for 100000 damages
under the Sherman antitrust law. The ac-
ton begun in the federal courts of
Philadelphia, and the most important evil
dence obtained is that given at the prelimI-
nary hearing in this city.
The chief witness has been Thomas V.
Wooten. secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Retail Druggists, the examination
being conducted by Attorney w. Wilson
Carlisle of Philadelphia. Attorney Carlisle
has left for indianapolis. where he will ex-
anime officials of the National Wholesale
Druggists Association. Later he will go
to New York to examine members of the
Proprietary Association of America in the
same case.
