Officials and Employees of Hart &
Hutchinson Plant Object to Noxious
Odors Coming From Rendering
Plant Operating Near Factory.

Mayor o. F. Curtis had occasion to
read the riot act to the officials of
the health department yesterday fol-
lowing allegations of laxity in or
dering the abatement of a nuisance
in the form of obnoxious odors com
ing from rendering plant near the
Hart & Hutchinson factory The
mayor ordered immediate action by
Acting, Health Superintendent Roger
M. Griswold and threatened that, if
such action was not taken, he per-
sonally. would take up the matter
Prosecutor Notified.
AS result Prosecuting Attorney
Albert A. Greenberg was supplied
with what evidence Of nuisance the
department has accumulated and will
take the matter UP with Manager c.
e. White of the Independent Fat
Rendering company. Developments,
possibly in the form of prosecution
if the nuisance is not abated, are
expected within a few days
The rendering plant is located sew
eral hundred yards east Of the
Plainville trolley tracks at point
almost opposite the main plant Of
the Hart & Hutchinson company.
The stencil which arises during the
most unbearable, the mayor has been
informed, even for the short period
necessary to pass through this local
ity on the trolley. Employees and Of
ficials OF the manufacturing company,
located nearby, report that it is some
times necessary to close down the

q hof
waited from the rendering plant
Complaint is Old One.
The complaint is by no means a
new one. Last year during the tenn
porary superintendency of DR.. Joseph
M. Klein, the health department
warned the management of the rem
dering plant that objection to the
disagreeable odors had been reported.
The company was asked to abate the
nuisance. Because OF difficulty in
changing the location of the plant, a
lquestion involving the legality Of an
order by the city to that, effect, the
matter was referred to the state de-
parlnent of health.
-. Tank Not Used.
Shortly thereafter engineers of the
ds partment came to this city and
looked over the plant. The suggest
ed that a huge tank be installed il,
accordance with specifications furn-
| 1shed the management at the time.
This tank was purported to be a sure
| means OF taking care of much Of the
odor.
The tank has been installed but
| was never connected up, investigation
shows Several complaints have come
IN during the past year and the recent
hot weather. has served to aggravate
tho odors to such an extent that a
storm Of protest has arisen.
Threats Are Sounded.
In his ultimatum to the health Of
| flcials, the mayor is quoted as say
ing that, should such action be nee
| essary, changes in the ersonnel of the
health department would be made to
guarantee the abatement of the
nuisance

There is very dangerous practice
frequently seen in Main street, and
that is foot ball playing by boys. We
have pretty clear idea that the
streets are for travel only, and this
practice is likely to result in the in
jury or possible death of some boy.
lit will then be too late to stop it.
The better plan is to stop the prac-
tice before the tragedy happens. A
gentleman related to The Herald this
week of narrowly missing running
over a boy who was engaged in the
very engrossing pastime of catching
a falling foot ball. By great effort
he managed to stop his car in two
or three feet of the boy, who ran
directly in front of the machine in
trying to catch the ball, and evident
ly never did see the car. This same
Hhing applies to throwing base balls,
playing marbles or any other games
in the streets. An accident may new
er happen, and it may Happen today.

AS to the Ku Klux Klan The Her
aid knows very little and is not very
much concerned. We have an idea
there is no demand for such an organ
ization as existed in the seventies,
and we do not admire the idea of
seeking to put across the new organi-
zaation under the fame of the old
one, although we are told that the
new Ku K1ux has no relation to the
older organization which completed
its work and disbanded years ago.
If the new order has no relation to
the other, we think it would have
&been better that some other name
should have been used. However
that may be, the Ku Klux has re-
ceived the finest kind of advertising
recently. The so-called EXPOSE
have served only to strengthen the
organization, and the embryo con-
gressional investigation has given
the order no end of fine publicity
It is safe to predict that the Ku Klux
Klan will be stronger hereafter than
ever before, and it's enemies will be
responsible for the new growth.

BELT BUCKLE FOUND.
Ornament Worn BY Hessian Soldier
During Revolution.

A Hessian soldiers belt buckle has
been found by historical workers eX-
cavating the site of the Revolutionary
war prison camp on the old Dyck-
man farm, near 203rd street, New
York.
The buckle, of bronz, is in a perfect
state of preservation and officials of
the Field Exploration committee of
New York Historical society, say it
is one of the few Revolutionary relics
of undoubted Hessian origin.
The buckle has been identified as
part of the equipment of the Fuerst
Frederick or Erb Prinz Regiment of
Hesse, mercenaries brought over by
the British to fight Washington con-
tinentals. On the front of the buckle
is engraved the monogram "F. F."
surmounted by a crown. The original
hook or belt holder is on the back.
The Fuerst Frederick regiment, or
lglnally 6S9 strong, took part in many
engagements in the revolution. 1t
participated in the battle of Long Is
land, and was assigned ITO the left
wing of Earl Percy's force at the bat
tie of Fort Washington. Later the
regiment was sent south and eventu-
ally was captured at Yorktown.
Upon the declaration of peace the
survivors were returned to New York
to await transportation home and
during this period they were quarter
ed in the hut cantonment on the
Dyckman farm.

The scheduled railroad strike is
nothing more than was to be ex-
pected. When the government sane
toned last fall tremendous increase
in wages in the face of falling prices
everywhere, the bars were opened
for discomfort when the reduction
would come. There was no excuse
for increasing the pay of anybody last
fall, and it was little less than criml-
nal for this unnecessary burden to be
saddled on the people. We have no
sympathy for the claims of the rail-
roads or the employees. 1t appears
to us that the employees are trying
to hold up the railroads and the rail-
roads in turn holding up the people.
The roads have promised to reduce
freight and passenger rates, which
are almost double what they ought
to be in comparison with other things,
but the GU. has not been made. Let
the roads make the reductions, and
then reduce wages of employees ac-
cordingly. and the people will back
the roads to the limit. The rights
of the people have not been consider
ed by either employers or employees.
The government got the roads into
this mess, and the government ought
to get them out. 1t will be recalled
that the government surrendered
lock. stock and barrel to the employ
ees during the war, and the question
now is whether or not the govern
ment and the roads will continue to
surrender. That the people whom
the railroads and employees serve
shall suffer does not seem to concern
either side very seriously.
