Allegheny River an Example.

one notable example of the necessity
for protection against river pollution
was pointed out today by those interest
ed in the subject. This is the case of
the Allegheny river below Warren. Pa,
and between that city and Pittsburgh.
AT Warren there are number of oil
refineries. and the refuse from these
plants has polluted the Allegheny to
such an extent that il has practically
killed off and driven the fish from the
river. The water of the Allegheny,
reaching the stream it does over
rocks and through gravel is pure and
ciear, but the oil refuse, mingling with
the water. forms streams of sluggish,
ooZy, poisonous material in the stream
destroying not only the fish in the river.
out marring the natural beauty of what
was once a noble sheet of water.
The state of Pennsylvania has from
time To time become interested in the
possibility of retaining the Allegheny.
ana attempts have been made TO reu,,ire
the burning of refuse rather than the
enptying of it into the Allegheny. but
nothing has been accomplished in the
way of an Improvement. and ii is said
by those interested in the Allegheny and
other rivers that if the national govern
ment intends TO have some of the fedora
bureaus take up the subject as Score.
tary Wilson says he may do there is :,
prospect that the project Will be gladly
received as similar projects have been
received in Germany and other countries.
No action has been taken as vet by
the public health service OH the recon-
mendation which is expected to reach
that branch of the government by WAY
OF the District Commissioners and the
Treasury Department. from Asa PhilIips
District superintendent of sewers. whose
report. made public Friday. attacked CON
ditiOns i'm the Potomac river and urged
that sewage filtration plant be estab-
lished below Alexandria tn clean the
Potomac and obviate the danger of pol
luton to oysters and fish. The public
health service. IL was said today, will
take up the subject when IL reaches that
branch of the government through the
regular channels.

DIR. Doolittle, acting chief of the bureau

not he could furnish, on the part of
Maryland, the state fisheries steamer Gov

ginia scientists accompanied by repre-

down the river. He said he was hoping
every day to hear that the boat had been
obtained, as Mr.. Skinner and DR.. Stiles.
representing the chemistry bureau, are
ready to proceed with the new investiga-
ton.
The investigation, if ii is to be carried
out DR.. DOOl.ttle said Ought to be
made as soon as possible. and Maryland
and Virginia ought 20 move a little more
rapidly, as there is undoubtedly great
anxiety on the part of consumers as to
the possible danger of eating Potomac
river oysters. and there are many dealers
and others in the oyster industry VINO are
entitled 20 a settlement of the question.
We have not been able to get a revenue
cutter for the trip. there Is none in
this neighbOrhoOd at this time"
There can be no fear of danger from
eating Potomac river fish. / should
think" DIR. DOolittle said, "inasmuch as
fish are so thoroughly cooked before
eating that any germs in them are
necessarily destroyed by the great heat.
Also, of course, they are thoroughly
cleaned of possibly dangerous parts be-
possible. however. that pollution IN the
river is killing off the fish supply. and
should think that ought TO be looked
into. as Secretary Wilson says"

Friends Get $4,000.

Friends of the former Dominican Of
fetal, whom he had interested in a fund
OF $4,000 for diplomatic purposes in
furtherance Of his candidacy, kept the
money in their pockets. Senior Velasquez
left the country with his political hopes
shattered
When the late Gen. Ramon Caceres
was president Of Santo Domingo Senior
VelasqueZ was the real power in the re-
public, and much of the unpopularity of
the Caceres government was attributed
to the minister of the treasury, who alb
solutely dominated the country.
He negotiated the Dominican loan in
this country. and it was he who arranged
for the payment Of S1tO,OOD to DIR. Jacob
III. Hollander of Baltimore, who had been
sent to Santo Domingo by the govern
ment at Washington to aid in strai@hten-
ing out the financial tangles. and for
which service he also received $4,000
from the American government. In this
same matter Senior Velasquez was Sc
verely criticised by his countrymen for
charging $4,000 for his services. although
he was acting as minister Of the treasury
in the Negotiation of the loan.

FROM the action of the Iowa Re.

between Taft and Roosevelt electors.
which means that both will poll
iewer votes than the Wilson electors
IL other words, Wilson will carry

Iowa Republicans favorable to
latt could not force an Endorsement
or the Taft administration. nor A rec.
onmendation that all real Republic
ans would vote for him this fall If
was left TO the Individual conscience
OF the voter whether Taft or Roose.
NeIt should be followed.
Coming from state of tbe i'm

haYe great effect. 1t will boost the
roosevelt third party to the detri.
inent OF the Taft campaign All over
