Commission Approved.

Washington. June 30.-The senate in
executive session confirmed the nom
nation of Franklin Lane of California
to be a me-.ber of the Interstate com
merce commission to succeed ex-Gover-
nor Joseph W. Fifer of Illinois. The
president sent the nomination to the
senate December s. 1905. but the senate
failed to take action. Opposition to re-
porting the nomination. it was publicly
stated, was based on the fact that If he
was confirmed the Democratic members
would dominate the commission. Mr.
Lane is a Democrat Senator Foraker
led the fight against confirmation. He
contended that Mr.. Lane lacks con-

Mr. Elwood's closing comment on
this letter is as follows
''I will leave it to any fair-minded
citizen of this state to judge both
from Hoch's record and this answer
to my courteous inquiry If I am not
justified in branding Governor Hoch
a coward in his official administration
as regards the enforcement of the
prohibitory law and a dodger of the
issue in his candidacy for reelection.
trust every lover of prohibition and
law enforcement in this state will con-
slider carefully the dement's of this
candidate before election day" (The
pastor had underlined the words "a

The Skies of Manhattan.

Section lO2 of the Sanitary Code of
the present city of New York provided
that no person should, after its adoption,
erect in said city any mandatory
or place of business for boiling any
varnish or oil, or for the distilling of any
ardent or alcoholic spirits, or for max
ing any lampblack, turpentine or tar,
or for conducting any other business
that does, or will, generate any I'm
wholesome, offensive or deleterious gas,
smoke, deposit or exhalation, without a
permit from the Department ofHealth.'
As Mr.. CHARLES T. BARNEY pointed
out in his statement published yester-
day, the power of the Board of Health
is ample to abate what has CONF to be
known as "the smoke nuisance" in New
York city. In one year, 1902, the num-
Der of complaints investigated was in
excess of 700, but the number of COM
plants investigated and of cases prose-
cuted after investigation has so steadily
declined that the law in the matter has
practically become a dead letter. As
many as two complaints in a week are
inquired into. but inquiry without any
subsequent penalty where the offence
complained of is not abated is of no
utility as a deterrent. One of the recog-
nized distinctions Of New York among
and beyond all pther American cities,
that of the clarity of the atmosphere
and the general absence Of smoke and
SCOT, is in danger Of passing away.
There is no lack of legal provision to
cover the matter. There is no lack of
official authority to enforce the existing
ordinances. The sum appropriated this
year for the salaries of clerks and in
spectors of the Health Department is
$500, S15. The prosecution Of existing
complaints rather than the appointment
Of additional inspectors would seem to
be at the root of the trouble, a trouble
which means much to all those who wish,
Us Mr.. BARNEY says, to see restored the
clear blue skies hat used to be one of
the chief charms of a residence in New
York"
