WANT THIS TO BEA DRY TOWN
STEPS TO BRING ABOUT PRoHI-
BITIoN IN THE DISTRICT.
Determined Effort Will Be Made by
Temperance Advocates-Plans
of Liquor Dealers.

A most determined effort to bring about
prohibition in the District of Columbia will
DE made this winter, according to several
leading temperance advocates. AS the cold
season approaches, they say, there will be
an amalgamation OF all the cold water
forces and many of the churches in Wash
ington in order that the movement may be
concerted.
In the meantime the liquor interests will
not be idle according to Walter J. Costello
of the Retail Liquor Dealers Association
and others, who declare steps are being
taken to bring about a confederation of
the associations which are opposed to the
enactment of prohibtory legislation for the
District of Columbia.
That the fight will be holly contested was
conceded today by representatives of both
sides OF the question. The temperance ad-
vocates pointed to the action of the demo-
cratic party in Oklahoma in giving a 10000
majority for prohibition, and to the general
tendency against the saloon in many other
states. The liquor men say their contention
will be supported by the Personal Liberty
League and by all who are opposed to re
stricting the personal privileges of the peo-
pie by laws"
Plans of Liquor Dealers.
At meeting of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' As:0 citation of Washington yesterday
afternoon a committee of three was appoint
ed to bring about an affiliation of all the
liquor interests in the District of Columbia,
aggregating, 1t was said about $4,000 men
The committee is composed of Messrs
J. Costello, Hugh F. Harvey and William
d. Barry.
1t is understood the committee will con-
fer with the following organizations with
the view of forming a confederation: Brew
ers, brewery Workers, Beer Drivers Bar
tenders Union, CigarmakerS' Union, Cigar
Manufacturers Association, Beer Bottlers'
Association, Wholesale Liquor Dealers As
ISOLATION and the Drummers' Association Of
the wholesale Liquor Trade. 1t was stated
that the members of these associations men,
toned represent approximately 10000 per-
sons.
Purpose to Concentrate Forces.
1T is our purpose to concentrate our
forces to meet the assault of the prohibit
tionists," member of the committee ex-
planned
The statement was made today that the
local branch of the Personal Liberty League
has commenced to recruit it's ranks in or
der to take an active and important part
In the coming fight to make Washington a
have announced their intention of joining
the society.
The statement was also made that the
temperance crusaders will call meeting
in the near future for the purpose of maxi
ing advance arrangements for the contest in
aftilation with the Anti-Saloon League and
other temperance forces. The local pro-
hibitionists say they feel encouraged to
believe that their efforts will be successful
at the fOrcoming session of Congress- in
view of the prohibition tidal wave that Is
sweeping over the country"

ELIMINATING BLACK SMOKE
GRATIFYING RESULTS OF Ex-
PERIMENTs MADE.
Reports Submitted by Inspectors to
Railway Offcials-Union Station
to Be Protected

That the railroads entering Washington
are endeavoring to eliminate the smoke
nuisance can readily be seen by report
made by the smoke committees of the vari-
GUS railroads at recent meeting.
Several months ago there was consid-
cradle complaint made to the District Com
missioners of the great amount of smoke
made by the locomotives in passing through
the city. and in view of the fact that the
railroads would soon occupy the new union
station. the question was raised as to the
necessity of using electric motive power to
propel trains through the Capitol Hill tun-
mel. The several. railroad companies at
once adopted means to eliminate the smoke,
The first move was to appoint commit
tee consisting of representatives from the
Southern. the Richmond. Fredericksburg
and Potomac. Baltimore and Ohio, Penn
sylvania and the ChesaDeake and Ohio rail-
roads. and each company appointed add
tlonal inspectors whose duty it was to re-
port all cases of smoke. In addition to
this inspectors were appointed to look after
smoke violations at the round houses.
Engines going to roundhouses were fur
nished with sufficient low volatile coal to
keep the fires alive while they remained
there. This coal is SmokeleSS and when an
engine was due to take out a train II was
furnished with 1000 pounds of coke. This.
placed on the top of the fire, enabled the
engineer 10 take train out or the DlStrlct
without making smoke. All freight en-
gines passing through Washington were
supplied with coke at the Potomac yard,
as were all of the yard engines.
Report of the Committee.
The report of the inspection committee
for the month of August shows what were
regarded as very satisfactory results, as
follows: Number of locomotive move
ments-Philadelphia Baltimore and Wash
ington railroad. 14761: cases of black
smoke II. Southern railroad. 1850; in
stances of black smoke. 10. Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. S.0S4 cases of black smoke,
%. Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad. 1912: cases of black smoke,
4. ChesaDeake and Ohio railroad, 1896;
cases of black smoke. 0. This report shows
a total of u 1913 engine movements with
only siXty-two cases of Objectionable smoke
reported.
railroad official in speaking of the re-
port expressed qualification with the show
Ing maze. and said the other officials feel
satisfied that there will not be further
cause or complaint from the District Com
missiOners or the citizens or washington.
1t is proposed that no smoke shall be made
In the new union station that this mas
sive marble structure will not be discol-
ored by the coal gases.

Operation of Statute,

This legislation was recommended in our
last report 1t being shown that 1t was prac-
teal efficient and necessary to the proper
enforcement of the law, and failed of adop-
ton for want of sufficient time for its con-
sideration. The operation of this law. bar
ring the defect noted, is all that could be
desired, and it is thought with this rene
died there are number of collections that
could be made that are now lost to the
District.
The removal of the appropriation of
$500 for the collection of overdue personal
taxes is recommended. The Facilities OBJ
tanable by the means of this appropriation
are Indispensable for the collection of this
tax, when delinquent, and while a larger
sum could be used to advantage, the method
proposed for permantnt appointment will
make an increase in this appropriation un-
necessary
