SEEK TO PREVENT
RIVER POLLUTION
STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS
WOULD KEEP REFUSE MATTER
FROM RIVERS.
MANY COMPLAINTS ARE MADE
iron Washeries Along the New and
kanawha Makes Water Unfit for
Domestic or Mechanical Use.

Especial Charleston Correspondence)
Observation-Disclosures the federal
constitution denies him Jurisdiction in
the case. William G. Barnhart, United
States attorney for the southern dis
trict OF this state, is making an effort
TO stop the pollution OF the New and
Kanawha rivers by the iron ore wash
cries along the banks OF the New river
in Virginia. In recent weeks there
have been many complaints against
the poisoning OF the streams by people
who depend upon them for their water
supply. Formerly the ore washeTies
were privileged by the federal govern
ment to use the streams for the wash
ing OF their products, but the secre-
tary OF war revoked the privilege two
years ago when committee of promi-
nent West Virginians called at his
Office in Washington and directed his
attention TO the unsanitary conditions
that arose as n result OF the Practice.
The refuse matter with which the
New river is polluted affects the water
supply of people living along the Ka-
nawha river in West Virginia, but the
federal statutes provide that prosecu-
tions against guilty persons shall be
instituted in the district in which the
ofTense is committed. The offense in
this instance, Mr.. Barnhart said, is be-
ing committed in the western district
OF Virginia. and it is the duty of the
federal authorities of that district, he
said. to proceed against the ore wash
