Want FLUES TO CARRY
OFF The Gas FUMES

William j. McCorkindale, manager of
the Wilmington Gas Company, sent
communication to the Board of Health
yesterday complaining of the installing
Of gas water heaters by plumbers when
no tlues are provided for carrying oil
the gases. This Nj. McCorkindale
deemed detrimental TO health. The sub
ject was referred to the Street and
Sewer Department, which board most
likely will have the plumbing inspector
see what can be done in the matter
The communication was appended
with copy of letter sent to all
plumbers in June of 1912, covering the
water heaters. The company also
asked whether the board could not sug-
gest a ruling to prohibit the installation
of the heaters without a hue connec-
tion.
The communication follows;
"Alr. J. A. Ellison, Secretary. Health
Department, City:
Dear Sir-Some time ago we found
it necessary to make a rule in our bust
ness not to install any gas water heat
ers in any bathroom or room where we
could not put ON a iue connection to
convey the burnt poisonous gases from
the premises.
1--WE have refused in a number of
cases to sell these heaters where we
know that they will not be connected
up to a chimney or fue. doing it for
the protection of the prospective con-
sumer, and in selling our heaters we
include the 1ue connection in our
prices in order to make sure that
there will be no danger from it after
wards.
people whom we have refused to sell
to, have gone to plumbers and others
and have bought gas water heaters
through them, and in that way they
have. installed some of these heaters
in way that we consider detrimental
to health. We thought that we should
call this to your attention so that you
might possibly suggest some plan
whereby a ruling of the health de-
partment. or otherwise. could be made
to prohibit installing them without a
flue connection.
I'VE herewith enclose you a copy OF
a letter which we sent out TO the diff
ferent plumbers in June, 1912, cover
ing this point. but some have been ig-
noring the matter and we ask your
cooperation in this necessary move
ment. Yours very truly,
"Wm. J. McCorkindale.

Board of Health, Wilmington,
Del:
Gentlemen:-In view of the cam

Madison street and Delaware Avenue.
In the summer months the neighbor-
hood is badly infested with mosquitoes
In the nearby cemetery are scores OF
small vessels for holding cut flowers,
which are filled with stagnant water
and form an ideal breeding place for
mosquitoes. The cemetery itself
swarms with them in warm weather.
Nobody appreciates more fully or
sympathizes more sincerely with the
tender reverence for the dead, which
leads to their use, but to menace the
health and comfort of the living
should lead to their discontinuance.
"ls it within the power of the
Board of Health to rule that during
the summer months only potted
plants shall be used and the use of
water for keeping cut flowers should
be discontinued. If not, will you
kindly advise me in whom such pow
er is vested, in order that steps may
be taken to safeguard the health of
that lneighborhood.

LAND CONVICT AFTER 8 YEARS
Rather Pleased Than Otherwise to
Return to Joliet, Where He
"Knows All the Boys"

Portland, Ore.-For almost eight
years John Sullivan, parole violator
from the Joliet state prison, H., has
wandered from city TO city as a
vagrant, serving short terms in many
jails.
He has been arrested here and
identified by his photograph by Detec
tive Pat, Moloney. Illinois authorities
have been hunting him since May %,
1906.
Moloney and Detective Swennes
came upon Sullivan at Third and
Stark streets and took him into Gus
tody as a vagrant. At headquarters
Moloney identified him.
'Td just as soon go back" said Sui
livan. I've been in every Jail in the
United States, guess, and | might as
well take up my permanent abode at
Joliet, where know most of the
boys"
Sullivan was sent to prison for an
indefinite term from Chicago on Feb
ruary &c, 1908, for burglary. and in
1906 he was paroled. On his first OPP
portunity he disappeared The Joliet
authorities were notified and an agent
will be sent for him.

CARRIES HOUSE IN POCKET
Englshman Is Little Troubled by

T. H. Holding, "the fully furnished
man." who is to demonstrate at the
simple-life exhibition how he carries

trivances recently to a London Daily
News interviewer.
All that a man really wants to pro

him with warm food and drink need,
he maintains, weigh no more than six
pounds thirteen ounces. Mr.. Holding
Is in his seventeen year, and that is
the sort of simple life kit he still
uses.
His tent consists OF II ounces Of
silk, with a sort of fishing-rod pole and
aluminium pegs. All his meals are
cooked on a tiny oil stove weighing
just over a pound, but capable Of deal.
ing efficiently with a rabbit or beef
steak.
Then there is a quilt large enough
to keep two people cozy though it
folds up into package measuring
11x4 inches. and a water bucket hold
ing two gallons that can be tucked
into a space no bigger than your fist.
Mr. Holding has invented innumer.
able other lodges in the way of con.
centrated comfort-pillows that weigh
next TO nothing and are blown up like
a cycle tire, pots and pans that van
ish when they are not wanted, toilet
apparatus weighing only few ounces,
and so on.
By the time he is eighty Mr.. Hold.
ing will probably have discovered how
to get a spare suit of clothes into
watch case and at least one quart into
a pint pot.
Weather is a matter of almost com
Elete Indifference to a man Of Mr..
Holdings stamp. In the shelter of his
tiny tent he laughs at rain, has en-.
dured as much as 22 degrees Of frost
and can regard snow with composure.
AS for cycling, he recently com
pleted his S0,00Oth mile on daily
journey between Pulham and the West
End.

farmers received nearly $4,000 in
