Rochester has one of the most pro-
gressive Of all the smoke-abatement or
ganizations of the country. 1t has issued
a pamphlet which is remarkable con-
tribution to smoke-abatement literature
The chamber OF commerce appointed a
committee on smoke abatement, and this
committee took up the matter as busi-

the standpoint Of the business men. Ihey

The investigation of the problems 0

The investigation of the problems of
smoke and smoke abatement just COM
pleted by the University OF Pittsburgh
promises to constitute an epoch-making
event in the worldwide crusade against
the evils OF unnecessary smoke. Taking
up all the phases Of the problem and
making a thorough study OF the influence
Of smoke upon health. wealth and we'll
being. in American cities in general. and
in Pittsburgh in particular, the experts Of
the university have given to the world a
series OF papers that will prove to be q
very arsenal OF arguments against the
continuation OF the useless and terribly
wasteful pollution Of the air by unneces-
sary smoke.
Few movements for civic better1nent
have yielded such quick results as may
already be credited to the crusaders
against the smoke nuisance. Where cities
once pointed with pride to the smoking
chimneys Of their factories as evidence
Of the prosperity there abiding. now they
point with shame to the spectacle, and
seek by law to abate the smoke as a
nuisance. While most municipalities have
found some trouble in enforcing their
ordinances against the smoke nuisance,
on the other hand they have been greatly
aided by the immediate and direct returns
smoke prevention makes to the furnace
owners who Join the movement. The
profits Of smoke prevention are not SO
remote as the profits Of clean cities or SO
obscure as the profits Of disease-prevent-
ing crusades. They are evident from
month to MONTH evident in reduced coal
bills. which the factory owner regards as
too high at best.

ALIENS NOT IGNORANT,
BUT ARE WEALTHY MEN

Bristol, Tenn, March 16.-According
to a well known Bristol business man
who has travelled southwest Virginia
extensively, the Allen brothers who
shot up the court at Hillsville, Va, on
Thursday morning are well-to-do
They own good farms and have money
and, aside from their apparent disre-
gard for human life. they have good
regulations. They are regarded as
ruggedly honest In transactions, and
have good financial credit There are
four brothers, Jack, Floyd, Sidna and
Garland Allen. The wealthiest Of them
is Sidna Allen, who was a leader in
the court house assault, and who was
captured Friday after a pitched battle
in which his wife was killed. He lives
in a house costing $4,000 and owns a
fine farm.
A few years ago. according to the
Bristol man, two of the Allen brothers
were arraigned in court on a serious
charge. The Judge denied them bail.
whereupon they sprang to their feet,
abused the court and defied the Of
ficers. The judge later announced that

the flood experience of 1908 would be
repeated, the citizens OF Augusta are
resting easy tonight with the Savan-
nah river at a standtsill at So feet and
8 inches. This is two feet short of
the record established in 1908, when
eighteen lives were lost. Indications
last night that the river would over
flow the lower part of the city caused
scores OF families to move out OF the
danger zone and as a result there has
been no loss of life from the present
high waters.
Business was practically suspended
throughout the day as the waters ad-
vanced upon the business district
about Broad street. A local relief
fund was started today bua Mayor
Barrett announced tonight that the
city was amply able to take care of
the situation and offers from the out
side Of assistance were gratefully de-
clined.
Indications are the river will fall
two feet by tomorrow morning at z
o'clock, which will cause the waters to
recede from Broad street and by to-
morrow night will have practically
disappeared from the residence dis
trict.

tleship Maine, resurrected after four
teen years of burial in Havana harbor,
was today plunged, with colors flying,
to her everlasting rest six hundred
fathoms in the sapphire waters of the

United States army, as a representa-
tive of the United States.
The coffins were taken aboard the
cruiser North Carolina, deposited on
the quarterback, covered by a mound
of flowers, under a guard OF honor
composed OF marines. Minute guns
were fired by the North Carolina, the
scout cruiser Birmingham and bat
teries of Cabanas fortress until the
ships cleared the harhor.
The navy tug Osceola towed the
hulk of the Maine seaward. The
American flag foated from the jury
mast and the decks were covered with
flowers and palms. At 5 o'clock the
valves were opened and twenty min
utes later the vessel completely disap-
peared. The burial was three miles
