SMOKE OFFENDERS UP.
More than Sirty Arraigmed Before
Justice OImsted.

More than sixty alleged offenders. charged with
violating the smoke ordinance. were arraigned yes
terday in the Court of Special Sessions. Many OF
them pleaded not guilty, and their cases were set
down for further hearing.
Charles Reynolds. of No. go East ED street.
charged with burning lumber shavings. pleaded
guilty, and was discharged a promise to abate
the nuisance. James Kehoe accused of maintaining
a smoke nuisance on a steam derrick the Har-
lem River entered a demurrer, through his coun-
sci, holding that the federal government, and not
the Board of Health had jurisdiction OF the waters
about New York. He contended that the law
against the smoke nuisance applied to buildings
and not to steam vessels, and that the latter are
not required to consume their own smoke.
The Of the Manhattan Soap Company. at
No $50 West 36th street. up for trial. Coun-
sci for the company pleaded FOR adjournment
Of the trial, alleging that the company had in
stalled smoke consuming appliances and that now
no smoke escaped from the chimneys of the fac
tory. H. B. Walker, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci, opposed adjournment in the case saying that
he had brought three witnesses living in the neigh
borhood who were daily annoyed by the smoke.
After Justice Olnlsted had declined to grant an
adjournment counsel for the defence pleaded guilty
to the charge. He asked that the court be lenient
as the company had installed smoke consumers.
and asked that the Board Of Health investigate
the consumers and if they fulfilled the require
ments. The case was then adjourned until next
Monday.
Among the other cases which will come UP for
pleading those Of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company and W. E D. Stokes, the owner
Of the Hotel Ansonia.

eCORRUPT1ON NOT ON THE INCREASE
DR.. Jefferson ReprOves Ministers Who Seek
Texts in Sores of Body Politic.

The Rev. DR.. Charles E. Jefferson, of the Broad
way Tabernacle. was the speaker yesterday at the
Methodist Preachers Meeting at No. 80 Fifth
avenue speaking on THE Supreme Duty of the
Minister in Corrupt Times" He said in part:
prefer to discuss the subject suggested TO me by
words: The present age is not more corrupt than
those which have gone before. All times have bee n
corrupt. The supreme duty of the minister is in
my opinion, to appeal TO the heart.
Inc newspapers are accustomed to tear away the
coverings and to lay bare the sores on the body
pohtc But / do not think that such work comes
directly within the function of the minister al
hS IhSougn l should not wish to condemn a minister
VINO may enter upon such a task in absolute sin
cerity. But sensational newspaper is not the
proper place for minister to go for texts for his
SeIHIons; II seems TO me that ministers are

GIRL KILLED BY FALL
Lera Jeffries, Whose Home is in Iowa,
Meets With Strange and Fatal Ac-
cdent in the Telephone Exchange
at Omaha.

Special to rimes-Republlcan.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 30-Lena Jeff
don, was killed at some time during
the night, in the central exchange
building of the Omaha telephone
company. The girl was night oper-
ator in the exchange. The floor of the
hall on the third floor in the building
is constructed of glass set in iron
framework. One of the glass plates
had become cracked and a chair had
been set over the broken place to pre-
vent occupants of the building from
walking over the dangerous section. 1t
is presumed, as no one was present
when the girl met her death, that she
removed the chair in passing that way,
and stepping upon the plate was pre-
cipitated two stories to the cement
floor below
Her dead body was first discovered
when the mail carrier made an early
visit to the building. Her skull was
crushed and almost every bone in her
body had been broken. The remains
are now in the hands of the coroner,
who has ordered all investigation Of
the accident. Miss Jeffries was
handsome girl and very popular.
