LET CHEMICALS FLOW
into RIVER, IT IS SAID
Manager of RossIyn Electric
Company Cited to Answer
Charge in Court.

The police have listened to numerous
complaints during recent weeks directed
at the companies responsible for per-
hitting gas tar, ammoniacal liquid and
other waste to flow into the Potomac
river and damage boats, and now the
Rosslyn Electric and Gas Company is
to be cited to make answer in the Police
Court to such charge.
a warrant sworn out at the Police
Court yesterday against II. Harold Miller,
secretary and general manager of the
company across the river, reached the
seventh precinct police station last night.
and Capt. Schneider directed that Mr..
Miller be notified to appear in the Po-
lice Court early in the week and answer
the complaint.
Sergt W. p Hess was assisted by Po-
liceman Birkight in the investigation of
the complaint. The officers procured
samples of the coating over the surface
of the river in the vicinity of George
town and submitted them to the District
chemist for analysis, and when the re-
suit of the analysis was made known
they went To the prosecuting attorney
at the Police Court and laid the facts
before him.
Legal Battle Imminent.
The result was that the warrant was
issued for Secretary and General Man
ager Miller. and the legal battle probably
will begin in the Police Court tomorrow
or Tuesday. II Is stated by the police
and owners of boats that the conditions
have been worse during the last two or
three weeks than they have been at any
time in recent wears.
The prosecution was brought under sec
ton 9Ol of the District code. which pro-
vides that no person shall allow any tar.
Oil. ammonIacal liquor or other waste
products of any gas works or works en-
gagged in using such products, any
waste products whatever of any mechani-
cal, chemical manufacturing or refining
establishment. to flow into 81 be depos-
tied in Rock creek or the Potomac river
or any OF it's tributaries within the Dis
trict of Columbia or into any pipe or con-
duit leading to the same.
1t has been some time since prosecu-
tons under section JO1 have been had in
the courts. and the police say they are
going TO do their best this time to put a
stop TO the alleged pollution of the river.
The law, il is said. was passed to protect
the fish, but each time there has been a
prosecution, the police say, it followed
the damage to boats on the river.
