SEEKS DECREE BE MODIFIED.
Promise Made That Smoke from
Plant viii Not lnjure
The Crops.
Asserts That Bag House Fuliils All Re
quirements and Asks Lead ,Smelter
BE Allowed to Operate.

Alleging that it has at last found a
solution for the smelter smoke prob
lem, and that this Is an advance in
the worlds total knowledge of science,
made since the decree was entered pro-
hibiting 1t from running, the United
States Smelling Refining, and Mining
company IS making an effort to con-
tinue the operation OF it's Bingham
Junction lead plant.
This new move in the snelter situa-
ton was made today, when a petition
company to the federal court praying
that Judge Marshall set day to hear
them, and to listen to the account of
the new advance science had made
towards solving the problem.
No day has yet been named, but Jer-
rold Letcher, clerk OF the court an
nounces that one win be named in
very short time. and that the petition
will be heard.
WHAT PETITION ASKS.
The petition asks that the decree as
at present entered be modified so that
: the smelter may operate, provided that
the sulphur contents of all ores shall
nor on the average exceed 10 per cent
of sulphur per ton and that all smoke,
dust. fumes, and gases from furnaces
be filtered by passing through bags so
as to arrest all dust. and other solids
contained therein and thus prevent the
escape thereof into the atmosphere.
1t is through the operation of the bag
house that the company claims TO have
solved the problem. An elaborate des-
eription of this addition to the plant
is given, together with the statement
that il cost s105.000 to build. and that
since June, 1907, It has been in opera
ton.
BAG HOUSE SUCCESSFUL,
The statement is made that the bag
house collects the lead. arsenic ana
other solids that become Volatile IN the
furnaces. but that prior to an invention
finally worked out at the smelter the
bag house was II failure for the reason
that the sulphur gas in the smoke de-
stroyed the bags. To remedy this con-
dition 1t is explained that zinc oxide
was finally introduced into the smoke.
ana that this oxide formed a zinc sui
phate with the sulphur gas, in which
form the gas could be collected in the
bags us solid. and thus presented
from escaping into the air and doing
damage in combination with the wa
ter Of the atmosphere as sulphurous
acid
The promise is made in concluding
that on account of this bag house
the smoke of the smelter VIII no longer
do any material damage to the crops,
trees, or other vegetation of the plain
tiffs or any of them, on TO their health
or the health of their families.
The smelter is represented by Attor-
neys Andrew Howat and w. II. Dick

Were this true the clerks testimony
would be self-serving as the clerk
could have heard but one-half Of the

FLAT Low RATE FOR GEORGIA.
Railroad Commission to Require Two
and a Half Gent Passenger
Fares.

Atlanta, Ga, January 3.-The Con-
stliution tomorrow will say:
'An order establishing a flat rate
OF = l-2 cents per mile for passen-
ger travel Oh the railroads Of Geor-
.ia. effective April I. will be issued
in Il short time by the state railroad
commission.
"This order will come as the re-
suit Of the conference Of governors
held i'll Atlanta several weeks ago,
when Governors Glenn, Of Nortn Car
olina. and Governor Conner. of Ala
bama, met with Governor Smith to
discuss the transportation problem.
1t was known that the flat rate was
discussed, but no decision was given
out. Since the conference negotia-
tons have been in progress in all the
southern states. The railroads, it is
understood, are very anxious to reach
an agreement which will give the
same scale of rates in all Of the
southern states, and there has been
concerted effort on their part to
bring about such compromise.
"In Georgia the flat rate will mean
an increase on several lines over the
present rates, which now range from
2 cents a mile by the Atlanta and
West Point and Western and Allan
tic, to 2 1-2 cents for the Southern
and three cents for some Of the small
Ter roads. Similar rates are expect
cd to become legal in North Carolina
Virginia and Tennessee, which will
issue an Interstate rate Of 2 IL
cents mile through the south.
