WILL NOT SERVE WARRANT
UNTIL CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Engineer Of Capitol Power Plant Is
Charged With Violating Dis
trict Smoke Law.

The warrant for Chief Electrical En-
gineer Chris GLEN. of the new Capitol
power plant, charged by Inspector Whit
aker with violating the District smoke
law, will not be served until after the
adjournment of Congress. according to
an announcement at the Police Court to-

to the fifth precinct station yesterday
for service. Policeman Moffitt, who was
given the warrant by his precinct COM
mander, was told to await the outcome Of
a conference between Commissioner john
ston and Supt. Woods before serving it.
The District authorities aliege Gliem
violated the law in permitting dense vol
umes of smoke to issue from the plant s
stack for periods exceeding three min
utes.
Supt. Woods gave out the following
statement relative to the charge:
There is probably good grounds for
complaint that an unusually large amount
of black smoke issues from the stack
of the power plant When it is taken
into consideration that that part of the
plant Is yet under test, and that we
are using coal bought under contract
by the government, the steaming power
and smoke capacity of which has not
been fully determined, it can be readily
seen that we are not Intentional violatOrs
of the District smoke law. Later, when
we have learned by practical experience
In the tests now being conducted, we can
master the situation and prevent the
smoke evil.
"I have no doubt the matter finally
will be adjusted to the satisfaction of

SHIP RUNS INTO A TREE.
Schooner Has Foretopmast Cut OFF
Navigating Mattaponi River.

Vessels loading lumber on tributaries
OF the Chesapeake bay have often to go
up very narrow streams to obtain their
cargoes and in some Of them the vessels
have to be showed up the waterway, and
when loaded are brought out stern fore
most. 1t is seldom. however. that a YES
sci loses spar in going up narrow
stream, but that is what happened to the
three-nlasted schooner John a. Curtis on
a recent trip up the Mattaponi river
Virginia.
The waterway is a narrow and deep
one and to prevent trouble the man at
the wheel has to keep the vessel in mid
channel to avoid the limbs of the big
tres on either bank. The helmsman of
the Curtis did not do this, and there
was sound of splintering wood UP aloft
and the foretopmast tumbled down on
deck. A limb Of a big tree had struck
1t and broken it off close to the foremost
head as neatly as il IL bad been sawed.
Capt. Larramdre. according to reports. is
thinking seriously Of taking out the other
topmast and making ram" cut Of the
Curtis to avoid trouble when after lum-
Der cargoes in future.
