The Smoke Nuisance.

Civilization Is slowly emerging from the
era OF development when noise and dirt
were autonomous with thrift and prog

the smoke nuisance" Is along the line
OF Industrial and commercial growth
Considerations of health and cleanliness
are entitled to full weight, but the
strongest argument in behalf Of the adop-
ton Of some method Of smoke consu1np-
ton is that it means the stoppage of an
almost tncalculable percentage Of waste
in connection with the operation Of fac
tory engines, heating plants. motive pow
er anu every other form of enterprise in
VolVlng the use Of fuel. Science has
demonstrated to a certainty that Excess
sive smoke is caused by imperfect com
bustion, and practical experience teaches
that imperfect combustion means not
only the impairment of health, the end of
cleanliness and the destruction Of prop
erty, but the absolute waste Of the par
TALLY burned fuel. It is my intention t.
cooperate in every way within my pow
er with whatever agencies are invoked
in this community to do away with this
blight and blemish on the progress and
prosperity of Minneapolis. Both the po-
lice and the health departments will be
devoted to this end. to the full extent OF
their jurisdiction.
Other Matters of Importance.

Greensboro, October 19.-(Special)-A very interesting proceeding in the Hale county circuit court is the trial of Allen Wilson, a deaf mute B years old. for the murder of Walter Kinnard. The kill ing took place near Akron last winter. plea of mot guilty by reason of in- sanity was entered by the defendant s lawyer and an effort made to prove that the prisoner was insane, or at any rate did not understand the ordinary affairs of life. Dr. J. H. Johnson, president of the School for Deaf Mutes at Tallade- ga was present and, being put on the stand testified that in his opinion the in- telectual development of the prisoner was that of an ordinary child of or ' years of age and that his case was one of arrested mental development; that he had had several conversations with him and that he was unable to understand ab- stract propositions. In rebuttal the state proved by friends and neighbors that the prisoner had heretofore been able to transact business and the ordinary af- fairs of life and the defendant will now be tried for murder.
