The purpose Of the Hearst league,
or the independence league az IL
prefers to be called, is still the occa-
sion Of some anxiety and some curl
osity TO democratic leaders in Wash
ington, says our correspondent.
They are at a loss 10 understand Mr.
Hearst's purpose in spending untold
sums of money 10 promote this
movement in national politics. At
one time they thought they had
found the solution in the theory
that Mr. Hearst purposei to bold his
convention after the republican and
before the democratic national con-
ventions and 10 endorse himself for
president with the purpose Of on
posing Mr. Bryan at Denver. Il IS

If Taft were elected president, he
would probably have the appoint
ment of three or four justices of the
United States supreme court. 1t is
not hard to guess how such ap-
pointees would stand on the question
of government by injunction. With
federal courts and big army and a
big navy controlled by Taft, there
would be no use for a congress to
make laws, or even for the blessed
initiative and referendum; since the
courts and the army and the navy,
both directed by Roosevelt per Big
Bill would really govern the country
without regard to laws. This seems
to be the true inwardness of the
Roosevelt policies, SO warmly en-
dorsed by some democrats whose hind
sight is better than their foresight.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-04

ials in the Hearst newspapers have
been far more flattering TO Mr.
Roosevelt than ever before, and that
from condemnation they have
changed to praise. OF course no
such action could be taken if Mr.
Roosevelt could help it, as he par
ticularly abhors Mr. Hearst, and has
always refrained from inviting him
to the white house, even when he
was a member of congress, while the
speech of Secretary Root, which was
largely inspired by the president,
was probably the most potent factor
in preventing Mr. Hearst from de-
feating Mr. Hughes in the race for
the governorship of New York.

KOL0WSKI COULD RUN.
Man Who Posed as Cripple a Good
Sprinter.

The following story was taken
from the Scranton, Pa, Republican
The man concerned lived for short
time on Green street in this section
and was present with his crutch on
the night that DR. Schlaski OF Phila-
delphia made socialistic address on
Green street. Kolowski was a dis
turber during the short time which
he was in this city. The item reads
as follows:
Patrolman Charles Neuls was
struck by a bright thought when, with
the aid of street urchin, he entered
into conspiracy against one John
Kolowski, whose residence when he is
working is at Waterbury, Conn.
Kolowski couldn't have spent much
time in Waterbury, despite the fact
that much time is made there. When
the police got onto his record they
started to look for John, but John
had flown. How many intermediate
stops he made before arriving in
Scranton is unknown to the police.
Kolowski walked. limped, progress
ed slowly, painfully, for he walked
with the supporting and kindly aid
Of a crutch. Now to casual OBJ
server, Kolowski walked Imply along
/ each step causing him seemingly
great agony.
Neuls made overtures to a news
boy, and after crossing his heart sew
eral times because the nevsboy
wouldn't believe him unless he gave
this evidence Of good faith. the news
boy assumed happy air. the air of
one who stands in with the bosses
The newsboy approached the besgar
from the rear. and gave the crutch a
yank. The beggsr let go and the
newsboy ran down the street, cruteh
in hand
Kolowiski stood erect on both legs
for a minute. and then made haste
to catch up with his vanishing
cruteh. Matched with Duffy. or
LOngboat. or even Reese. he would
have won out easily. He ran after
the newsboy with such agility. such
speed. such determination that he
caught up with him after several
blocks.
Patrolman Neuls had shown excel
lent form. True. he came in at the
finish after the erutch had been re-
covered. he was bested by the Grip
pied beggsr TO the extent Of about
six yards. but before KOloviski hsf
a chance 10 run some more he vas in
the hands Of the law.
IL isn't penal ofense for a beg
gar 10 run like KoI0wiski did. But
II he has crutch and runs like Ko-
lOwski did-vhy that's against the
Law.
KoIowski didn't know il when he
was arraigned before the magistrate
yesterday afternoon. and when he
didn't have SO TO pzy for his fun
he was sent TO the county jail there
to languish for the period Of thirty
days. more or less.

NO MORE SMOKE NUISANCE?
Device at Hartford Plant Which Con-
sumes the Smoke.

Persons who believe that the
smoke which is discharged from the
chimneys of manufacturing plants
and from the smokestacks of loco
motives, is a nuisance, will be much
interested TO know that there is a
smoke consumer in this city at the
present time in successful opera
ton, says the Hartford Times. II is
attached TO one of the boilers at the
Pope Manufacturing Co.'S plant on
Capitol avenue. Those who are In
terested in the problem of abolish
ing smoke from we'll settled COM
munities will find that a trip to the
Pope plant for the purpose of seeing
the smoke consumer operate will re-
pay them for their trouble.
The smoke nuisance has been con-
sidered some in this city, but not
nearly so much as in Springfield,
where lovers of the city beautirul"
were able to secure the passage of
an ordinance prohibiting excessive
smoke within the City limits.
The smoke consumer at the Pope
plant is the product of the Ameri-
can Automatic Damper Co OF Cleye-
land, o. 4. W. Puddington OF Cleve-
land is representing the company
here at present. The consumer has
been installed By the Cleveland CON-
pany in the local plant for the pur-
pose Of demonstrating its efficiency.
The device is located at the front Of
the boiler, over the fire doors: Ii
extends toward the rear, and when
il operation II projects q blast Of
air into the gaseous fuel. causing the
combustible gases TO fash and be
completely consumed. Strictly
speaking. the device is more a
smoke preventer" than a smoke
consumer
During a visit a. the Pope plant
to-day a reporter Of the Times saw
the consumer in operation. The
boiler men stocked up and the
smoke vas allowed 20 go up the Cid
way for a few moments. Great
black clouds came from the SUNNI;
Of the 100 foot smokestsck; the
smoke came out in huge rolls. black
and omin0us looking. Then he
smoke consumer was set into opera
ton and in another minute not even
the thiunest wreath OF smoke could
be seen emitting from the mouth Of
the stack. There vas a roaring Ere

htb the atmosphere all smoke. The
appearance of smoke at the chimney
top is an indication therefore, that
the combustion in progress in the
furnace below is imperfect.
Given sufficient degree of heat,
imperfect combustion, as it occurs
in the ordinary steam furnace, is
usually due TO an insufficient supply
of oxygen to unite with the carbon
and gases of the fuel, to render
them combustible Scientific expert
ment has shown that about eleven
and one-halfpounds OF air are neces-
sary to furnish sufficient oxygen for
the complete combustion of one
pound of carbon. As air is so plen-
tiful, it would seem that il should
be very simple matter, therefore,
to realize perfect, or smokeless COM
bustion. But in actual practice, this
has proved stubborn problem.
1t thus appears that there are
two distinct stages in the combustion
of bituminous coal: The first, during
which the hydro-carbon gases are
given of with smoke: and the sec
ond, during which the coke (car-
bonl which remains consumes with
out smoke. Furthermore, il is evil
dent that the demand for oxygen is
much greater during the first stage
of the combustion than during the
final stage; and therefore that in
order to secure uniformly smokeless
combustion, IL is necessary to pro-
vide variable air supply to cor
respond with the alternating demand
for oxygen. What the situation
calls for therefore. if the smoke evil
is to be dealt within a large and
effective way, is some means by
which at moderate cost. the furnace
may be provided with an air supply
of alternating volume, to correspond
with the alternating demand for
oxygen during combustion
IL is the belief Of Mr. Puddingtou's
company that their smoke consumer
completely solves the problem. There
are many of them in use in Cleve-
land, where they are manufactured.
and Chicago. Cincinnati. Buffalo.
and other cities. Mr. Puddington
has a letter from Supervising En-
giueer John Kraus, of Cleveland.
stating that the device has been the
means of reducing SMOKE 30 to %
per cent in the manufacturing plants
Of the city. Mr. Puddington states
that Il would cost more 20 clean the
diseolOTed stOnework OF Connecti-
cuts capitol after being exposed to
excessive smoke than TO equip n
Hartford's smOkestacks with smoEe
consumers The device is Mr. Pud-
dington-s invention. and is the result
OF fifteen years Of labor.
Mr. Puddington has no sympa thy
with the lines Of the fine old bal-
quet song:
He pushed the damper in. he
pulled the damper out.
And the smoke went Nd the chimney
Just the same"
His belief is that smoke should
