Re BY SOUTHERN Cop.
TAR IN RIVER IS LAID.
TO GAS PLANT HERE.
Complaints of Boat Owners
That.HuIIS Are Smeared
Leads to Probe.

Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby has
a report from the Police and Health
Departments showing that the gas
works of the Washington Gas Light
Co. on the Eastern Branch is discharg-
ing tar into the waters of the river.
This, according to the report. is con-
trary to section of the District Code
prohibiting such pollution. Commits
sioner crosby has not decided what
action to take on the matter.
1t originated with complaints of
boating enthusiasts that their craft
were becoming coated with tar. Police
of the fifth precinct took samples of
water from the discharge pipes of the
gas works and the samples we're an
alyzed by the chemists laboratory of
the Health Department. The report
showed the presence of substantial
quantities of tar.
Crosby will consider what action to
take to keep the tar out of the water
this week.

GEN. KUNDT, SAFE
IN PERU, CLEARS SELF
German Officer, Former Comman-
der of Bolivian Army, Declares
He Is Not to Blame for Revolt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AREQUIPA, Peru, August 2.-Gen.
Hans Kundt. Prussian commander of
the Bolivian army under ex-Presiident
Siles and since the revolution in June
refugee in the German legation at
La Paz, Bolivia, has arrived here safe
ly and will sail for Germany tomor-
row from the port Of Mollendo.
The generals wife and daughter
came here from La Paz on July ~. On
July IS and July 30 it WIS reported the
general had left Bolivia, but the re-
ports were not verified until today.
In an interview today, the general
said, My only ambition at present is
to have good rest and therefore j
am returning to Germany.
II love Bolivia deeply, having worked
there for IL years under five govern
ments, and always enjoying the fullest
confidence and harmony.
Il have been accused of participate
ing in internal politics, but after long
and lonely hours passed as refugee
in the German legation at La Paz, and
after probing my conscience. md that
/ was in no way to be blamed for any
thing which happened during the reVo-
luton in Bolivia"
Gen. Kundt refused to comment on
Bolivian politics, but states that news
describing the recent revolution was
much exaggerated. He said he had
always tried to avoid bloodshed. He
believed the Bolivian domestic Situa-
ton was rather unfavorable owing to
a fall in tin prices, which mas put
10000 men out OF work.
