Official Steps. Past and Future, to
4bdte the Nuisance.

With the assistance OF the Anti-Smoke League.
of which Charles T. Barney is the president. the
officials of the Board OF Health have for the last
two months been waging a vigorous campaign for
the suppression of the smoke evil. Many arrests
have been made in all parts of the city, and the
offenders have been uniformly held for trial in the
Court of Special Sessions early in October
Said a representative Of the league yesterday;
This method OF frequent daily arrests has already
had its effect for almost all the small offenders
have found II cheaper either TO burn hard coal or
properly 10 nj their furnaces for the burning OF
soft coal rather than be compelled TO attend court
daily. Even some of the large offenders, like the
Long Island Railroad ComIany, since the arrest
Of President Peters, have begun 10 realize the
force of public sentiment behind this movement for
clear skies and have taken steps to ahate the nu-
sanCe bv banking their fires with coke.
The efforts made by many concerns to comply
with the law. however, he continued. bring out
prominently the fact that the New York Edison
Company and the Inter9OrOugh RaDid Transit
Company constantly and hagranty violating
the law in defiance of the courts and the officials
OF the Board of Health. The engineers and SUI
perintendents of their power houses have been
convicted and fined many times, but without effect

method of dealing with these offenders would seem
be for the courts 10 tmprtsOn the officials OF
the companies in order 10 inspire a proper and

NO REFUGE FOR AIIMoNY DODGERS.
Even Residence in New Jersey Does Not
Make Them Exempt

Justice Giegerich of the Supreme Court has de-
MED the auplica ton of Walter B. Shepard 70
have vacated an attachment which his wife.
Annie NJ Shepard. obtained through her counsel
w b. Dobbs against legacy Of $4,000 which
was left him by his grandmother. who was the
widow Of Billy Florence. the actor. The decision
is regarded among lawyers as very important
one and was issued against the defendant on
the ground that he was nonresident and upon
a claim based upon hts alleged failure 20 pay
instruments of alimony awarded in a final
decree of divorce granted TO the wife.
In his decision Justice Giegerich says, In part:
The chief objection made is that the action is
brought on a money judgment without any allie
CATION or proof that ten years have elapsed since
the docketing of the judgment. and that conse-
quentlv no cause of action is stated or proven
under the provisions Of Section 1913 Of the Code
of Civil Procedure That the judgment is one
for a sum Of money. and. therefore. within the
terms of Section 1913, is, l think. established
by good authority"
The justice then cites authorities bearing on
this point. and the decision continues:
Treating the action, then as one upon judg-
ment for a sum of money, the question is
whethe there is sufficient proof that ten years
have elapsed since the dOcketing of the tudg-
ment.
In the complaint. we'll I'm the affidavit.
il is stated that the judgment was rendered by
his court and was entered on the 18th day OF
December 1898. i'm the office Of the Clerk Of the
County Of New York, who is the clerk of this
court in this county.
The summons I'm this action is dated June IL.
1906, more than ten years after the dOcketing
of the tud0aent. and. therefore. the case falls
within the provision of Section 1913"

"Tsrrvr Delmour. ex-distrlct leader and friend
of Richard Croker. who left New York nearly
two months ago with party Of Tammany poll

the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm

Mr. Delmour said he had had the time Of his
life" but thought New York had Great Britain
and the continent skinned a mile" in the mat
ter Of exchanging money for amusement
That's a swell city we were in just before we
sailed" observed Mr. Delmour. What do you
call it,"

When Mrs. Delmour stepped away 70 attend
to her baggage Larry allowed that the girls Of

Even the women peasants and street pedlers

Asked II he saw Richard Croker. Mr.. Demour
said:
NO You see the party split up when got
over on the other side and those bum baths

all met az Carlsbad and had great time coming
across the Atlantic. They serve five meals

u. X. X. TUNNEL WORK.
Engineers Expect Tubes to Meet
by September IS.

Officials Of the engineering department having
I'm charge the building of the Pennsylvania tun-
nes under the North and East rivers are fully
assured that the two tubes the North River
tunnel VIII be pushed far enough from both
sides of the river 10 meet by September IS
Preparations are being made for the completion
Of this. the hardest part of the work. on that
date. and when II is done one Of the most COM
plicated pieces Of engineering viii be accom-
plished
The boring Of the enormous tubes was stopped
on Saturday. they were within 125 feet OF
each other This was done TO allow a most min
ute review OF the entire completed work. and
10 find II the tubes would meet exactly. They
must meet within a thousandth OF an inch and
the resurveys Will make this possible.
The portion OF the south tunnel from the Jersey
shore has run anead Of its mate. so that II now
overlaps the portion of the northern tunnel
starting from the New York shore. Pipes will
be driven across the fourteen feet separating the
two tubes. and angles will he run which will
show how nearly the engineers have kept to the
line and elevation planned
From shaft 10 shaft the Pennsylvania tunnels
traverses seven thousand feet. The portion ac-
tually under water is about six thousand feet.
Under train yards, with the heaviest locomo-
tives constantly passing overhead. through the
rock. quicksand. gravel and silt. the engineers
have forced the tubes forward with such nice
calculation that the date for the meeting Of the
tunnels set last November by Chief Engineer
Charles NJ Jacob September 49, will be verified
by matter of a few hours work.
To start with. the centre line OF 32d street was
taken the centre line Of the tunnel survey.
Then points were established at 25th street and

checked their progress from day 10 day. In the
surface work. if out Of fifteen observations there
was an inconsistency OF as much four one

taken. Down in the tunnels corps OF men are
constantly watching the lines 10 that there
is no divergence SO thoroughly has this part
OF the engineering work been done that there is
