Will Comply With Law.
J. r. Rose. representing the Firth
Stirling Company. called upon Com
missioner Macfarland yesterday. ex-
planning that before concluding the pur-
chase of the land on which the COM
pany proposes to erect it's plant he
would like TO ascertain the exact status
of the smoke law. Commissioner Mac
farland assured the cOmpany's repre-
sentative that the District government
would welcome any manufacturing en-
terprise, especially one which proposed
10 erect It's plant away from the resi-
dence sections. The District Commits
sioner then inquired as TO what arran-
gements would be made TO comply with
the smoke law, and was told by M
Rose that his company intended TO fully
meet with its requirements. Mr. Rose
explained that the very process of
manufacturing steel consumed the car
bon in the fuel and prevented the ennis
sion of dense black or gray smoke.

CITIZENS PLEASED
WITH NEW ENTERPRISE

the Eastern Branch lined on both
sIdes with manufacturing plants.
This really Is the natural home OF
the manufacturer. We have here cheap
labor. magnificent climate and superb
water power. The Potomac. from
Georgetown to Great Falls. ought to be
used for manufacturing purposes. l do
not think that plants of this character
will detract from the beauties Of the city
as a mecca Of homes. All the capitals
Of the Old World especially Berlin
have encouraged and fOstered manufac-
turing interests. We have the Capital
Of the greatest nation on earth, and
should be one of the foremost CONNER
cial cities Of this country. This is a
political center. IL will soon be the So
cial center. and is fast becoming the edu.
cational center OF the Western Hemis,
phere. Why should We not be the COM
mercial center alSo2"
Mechanics Will Come.
William Corcoran Hill said:
1T is great thing for washington,
especially the eastern section along
Anacostia river. Il will bring many
steel mechanics here, and the class Of
men. all of whom receive good wages
will be such as to benefit conditions in
many ways. There is a splendid OPEN
ing before the eastern part of the Dis
trict for substantial improvements as
n result of the establishment of the
plant The other side of the Eastern
branch will be benefited all the way TO
Benning. particularly when Minnesota
avenue is opened 70 Benning road
Will Bring Wealth.
B. f. Saul said:
"It is what we want If we get en-
terprises Of that kind to come here Il
win bring wealth 10 the city. The
wealthy cities OF the country are either
the mercantile centers or the manufac-
turing centers. As this Is not a mer-
camille center, all we can hope for is
to get large manufacturing plants to
locate near Washington"
One Will Attract Another.
Charles w. Fairfax. Of the real es-
said:
1T Is n most excellent thing TO have
a plant OF this character located here
The city will have all the benefits to
be obtained from an industry of that
kind in commercial way and it will
be far enough removed TO prevent de-
probation in values in the residential
sections OF the city. AS in everything
else, one thing Will attract another and
other plants will come
People here do not appreciate ade-
quately the possibilities of Washington
as a commercial city. We have mag
nificeDt sites adjacent 70 the city with
the privileges Of water power. etc. Such
factories can be established here with
great profit 10 the city and the people
interested.

such an extension leading directly to
the Capitol.
1t is believed by persons in posi-
tion to know something of what the
Firth-Sterling Company intends to do
that within a few months the bridge TO
connect Washington with the 'Giesboro
Point will be a certainty. Among the
many other improvements which are
anticipated for the new manufacturing
town is an extension of the tracks Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, which, IL Is said, VIII run
across the site of the new town, make
a loop, and return on a parallel route
to the city.
Elaborate Plant.
Fifteen hundred workmen are employ
ed by the Firth-Sterling Company.
Their wages are graded all the way
from s3 TO $40 per day, and the expense
account OF the company is said to
amount to $5, 100000 annually. The plant
now in operation near Pittsburg covers
approximately thirty-hve acres OF
buildings. and IT is not improbable that
an even more elaborate establishment
may be built up here.
The deal which resulted in the sale by
Mrs. Heiskell has been pending for
some months. and was finally closed
Thursday of this week.

Will Benefit City.

Charles F WaIIraff. treasurer of the
Moore & I'M corporation. speaking Of
the new enterprise for Washington.
said:
THE location OF the steel plant here
cannot but prove Of great benefit to
Washington in every way. There Is no
reason why this city should not become
great manufacturing center as well
a. all that IL now Is.
Few cities In this country are bet
ter qualified naturally for manufactur-
ing than Washington. We have here
more than ample water power. unusual
ly good transportation facilities by rail
and by water, and a location that can
not be surpassed. Washington is close
TO the seaboard. in touch with all the
great centers Of population of the East
and is the gateway 10 the South This
last means a great deal I'm itself. as il
Is I'm the South that the future great
Industrial development OF the country
is TO be.
Manufacturing here would mean a
new outlet for effort TO the thousands
OF Washington young men, who by
reason OF this city's peculiar conditions
heretofore. have found their opportuni-
ties for employment here restricted to
comparatively few vocations."

overlooking the property acquired by

of the steel company means to the fu-
ture Of Washington.
II think" he said, this is the first
step toward the rapid development OF
the Southeast section OF the District.
IT will greatly enhance the value of
surrounding property, and In my iudg-
ment Il will attract other manufacturers
10 this section. 1t is a great improve
ment TO the business life OF Washington.
/ do not see why plant OF this kind
should come to Washington unless they
had carefully considered their own bust
ness interest. and unless they saw that
the future development of Washington
would warrant the investment OF such
a large sum as they no doubt contem-
plate expending
y. II. Warner said:
II do not think that there are any
conditions which make the location OF n
large steel plant at all probable. The
fact that the Government is purchaser

would have to be brought here, as well
as the men.

the manufacture is too heavy and to"

MANY DONATIONS WERE
 RECEIVED YESTERDAY

large amount of money was placed in the hands of the directors of the home yesterday afternoon, which was collected at the Thanksgiving service at the First Presbyterian church in the forenon and several other cash donations were sent to the institution. The friends of the home called in the afternoon and were received by many of it's officers who were there almost the entire day. The annual Thanks giving dinner was one of the best the home has had in many years and no pains were spared to make the feats enjoyable in every respect. Mrs. Spencer, matron of the home stated last night that the donations were so numerous that she had not been able to arrange the lstFof the things received, but that everything would be duly acknowledged as soon as the re- port could be made out. However she said that the directors desired to thank the citizens for their kindness in remem- bering the children and all felt grateful for what had been received. The usual exercises at the home, which are held in the morning, was postponed until yes- terday afternoon to allow the friends to call and witness the exhibition of the children. Mrs. Spencer was at the head of the reception committee, which well comed the visitors yesterday and she was kept busy receiving donations.

 SURRENDERS KEYS
w. c. CUNNINGHAM SUCCEEDS HIM AS CLERK OF THE POLICE couRT-APPoINTED BY JUDGE FEAGIN.

It is now said that what appeared Tor a time to be a muddle in police court circles has been amicably adjusted ana that J. J. M. McElrath, the former clerk has given up the keys and turned over the office of court clerk to w. c. Cunmng- ham, his successor appointed by Judge Feagin.
 MT. McElrath has been connected with the police court for about three years and until only the other day no thought of him being succeeded in the office hau entered the mind of any one. His success sor. MT. Cunningham, is at present a member of the legislature from this couh- ty and is a barber by trade.
 MT. Cunningham stated to police or ficers that the keys of the office had been turned over to him by MT. McEirath. and that he would assume the duties oi the office this morning. Previous to yes terday the former clerk had refused to relinouish the keys to the man named as his successor by Judge Feagin
