Smoke Nuisance
And The
Law]
(K.\clu«jve Service The Survey Press
Bureau.)
With the , beifinuing of the use of
Boft coal as a fuel arose the problem
of how to Ket rid of the disagreeable
tsnioke. The iuestion has grown more
nerious yearly in every growing city
where bituminous coal is burned. The
dweller in such a town needs no defi
nition of the smoke nuisance and it
has become a matter of real import
ance to every large community to rid
itself as far as possible of this nui
sance. Interest in the question is
widespread. More tiian 1.500 patents
have l>een granted by the United
States Bureau of Patents to inventors
of so-called "smoke consumers” and
• smoke burners" and every where mu
nicipal governments have taken up se
riously the abating of smoke.
Exi)erlence has demonstrated that
objectionable smoke may be prevented
even though soft of bituminous coal
be used exclusively as fuel. By care
ful firing, either by hand or a mechani
cal stoker or feeder, fresh coal can be
evenly distributed over the hot fur
nace bed. This with the aid of me
chanical devices designed to perfect
the draught and so cause a sufllcient
uniforn) degree of heat to rench all
parts of rhe coal, avoids a “smother
ing” which produces a lower desrree of
heat favorable to the seiiaration )f
the material which makes smok> from
the hody of the coal. Some times an
entirely new furnace equipment is the
only remedy.
in Chicago an estimate by the
smoke inspector shows that smoke be
sides being a nuisance causes a losa
to the citizens of $21,830,000 annually
or about $10 ^ler capita. The laun
dries. clothing merchants. dyers,
house renovators and painters, and
operators of vacuum cleaning ma
chines are reaping a harvest. In St.
Lnuis six huudrei pupils in one of the
public schools had to be dismipsed at
therefore confer upon municipal Cor
porations ample power to prevent a
nuisance which of recent years has
greatly interfered with the health,
comfort and convenience of (iltizenB.
In view of the advanced lei;islation
and judicial decisions in recent years,
we may well say that the law peitain-
ing to the smoke nuisance is progres
sive, and will keep pace with the popu
lar sentiment regarding the emission
of “dense” smoke into the air In large

DEBATE CAUSES
By Associated Press.
Washington, April 20.—A positive
declaration in favor of giving the
president authority to prevent a repe
tltion of the killing of American cit
izens by Mexican belligerents was
made in the senate today by Senator
William J. Stone, of Missouri,
democrat and a minority member of
the senate committee on foreign re
lations.
Mr. Stone commended the president
for sending the American troops to
the zone of disturbance, contended
for the right of the United Staies
to protect the lives and property
of American citizens and condemned
the landing of the British bluejack
ets from the Sheerw'ater as an act
of war.

every case smoke is a preventable

locomotive is a sign of wastefulness
and a disrega.i for the right.; of the
l)ublic. Creatliig dense smoke is a

Mr. Stone would not agree that
•Japan is ' in any way involved in
the Mexican situation, nor would he
concede to the Japanese or any other
world pow'er any right to interfer
ence in the Mexican situation. Agree
ing that the Monroe doctrine w^as not
directly involved, he argued that
lows that tlie interests of the private nevertheless this country should stand
owner an J ‘he reqiiirements for public
health, comfort and convenience run
in parallel lines.
Pro|)er ’aws for the regulation, pre
vention and abatement of “dense”
smoke are. therefore, just to the con
sumer of fuel and highly de.^iiable to
the public.
The source of governmental author
ity to abate the smoke nuisance is the
police power of the state. This means
the general riuht of the government
to teserve and promote rhe public
\\elfare by establishing siich rules and
regulations for the conduct of all per
sons and the management of all prop
erty as may be conducive to the com
fort. safety and welfare of society.
The legislature frequently gives to
the municij)alities the power to de
clare what shall l>e deemed nuisances
within city limits. Cities also have
the ijower under the common law to
cause the abatement of nuisances that
are such in themselves without being
specifu lally so declared. If the legis
lature gives the cities specific power
to declare the emission of dense
smoke within their limits to be a nui
sance it must be exercised by ordin
ance and not committed to the discre
tion of municipal officers.
Some courts have held that the
words “emiission of dense black or
gray smoke” are vague and uncertain
but these decisions are outweighed by
the trend of later verdicts throughout
the country. E^^ery one knows what
is meant by "(iense smoke.” It is
easily recognized by the sense of sight
and leaves Its mark wherever it falls.
Convictions may be obtained by the
ordinary prosaic manner of asking
witnesses of what they have seen.
.Juries and courts will not pretend to
be more ignorant than the rest of
mankind. The .tury decides as a ques
tion of fact whether smoke coming
from a chimney Is dense.
Cities may provide by ordinance for
abating the smoke caused by tugs and
locomotive engines. Although these
may engage In interstate commerce,
congress has not yet acted and It is
only repugnant and Interfering local
legislation that must give way to the
paramount law’s of congress constitu
tionally enacted. Therefore an ordi
nance providing for the abatement of
dense smoke does not impose any re
straint on the use of boats and locomo
tives, although ^ngaged in genral com
merce, other than is consistent with
law.
Some recent decisions such as Her-
mon vs. Chicago have held that “dense
smoke in a city is a nuisance even
though not specifically so named by
any law and this doctrine enables mu
nicipal corporations to abate “dense”
smoke without specific authority from
the legislature.
Courts have taken judicial notice of
‘he fact that the discharge of dense
•imoke into the atmosphere in a large
?ity is of itself a nuisance to the gen
eral public. It is injurious to vegeia-
tion, to many kinds of goods and an
noying to the people. The courts

by European or Asiatic nation.
"We have not yet,” he said, “as
sumed the office of a policeman pa
trolling these American republics and
even if other countries insist upon
thrusting that situation with its re
sponsibilities upon us, we will at least
object to those countries exercising
a supervising and directing police
power over us.”
Senator Stone declared that the
landing of the British marines at San
Quentin ‘‘was not necessary to enable
the three men in question (an Eng
lishman ad two Americans seeking
to escape the dager zone) to board
the vessel and hence if the marines
were landed merely to prevent a
Mexican force attached to the revo
lutionary movement in Mexico tak
ing i«ossession of this Mexican town,
the act was arbitrary, and, being a
hostile demonstration on Mexican
territory, w^as in effect an act of war
if authorized or approved by the
British government.
“It will be generally regarded with
disapproval by the American peo
ple.”
Charging that there Is some power
ful Interest behind the effort to stir
up strife between the United States
and .Japan, Senator Stone said that
every effort should be made to discov
er and expose the identity of such
Interest. He said that the president
had assured him In the most positive
teims that ho had no Information
whatever connecting Japan with Mex
ican affairs.
Said Mr. Stope:
"In emergencies of this kind, in
volving grave international compli
cations, partisanship has no business
in our councils. As a democrat, es
teemed by some friends on both
sides of this chamber as being some
times somewhat artisan, I wish un
qualifiedly to indorse this action of
President Taft In ordering troops - to
the Mexican border.”
To justify American intervention
Mr. Stone detailed many acts and
expressions unfriendly toward the
people of this country and said that
in many places the Mexican authori
ties are unable to control the situa
tion producing a state of anarchy.
NEWS BUREAU,
Congress Hall.
(By H. E. C. BRYANT.)
Washington, April 21.—The Kitchin-
Gudger debate has caused considera
ble comment here. North Carolina has
been in the limelight. The mountain
eers have egged their congressman
on until one can small blood. How
ever, it makes it interesting for the
Tarheel newspaper men, and recently
the state has developed so many, good
dailies that the town is full of scribes,
there being one for eyery two con
gressmen. This marks the progress of
the Old North State. Jive years ago
two papers dominated the news field.
That is not true now for North Caroli
na has many excellent progressive pa
pers. The local paper is growing ev
ery w'here. It is almost as interesting,
therefore, to watch the North Carolina
newspai)er in W^ashington as it is to
w’atch the congressmen.
Representative Kitchin’s speech on
the Canadian reciprocity bill was more
than an advocacy of the measure. It
will be used as a campaign document
in North Carolina.
Mr. Kitchin, w'ho in my opinion is
the most attractive speaker in the
house, spoke with great force. Being
large, well proportioned and hand
some, he is pleasing to look upon.
Therefore, tow'ering above the ordi
nary congressman as he does, he car
ries the house, floor, galleries and all
with him. In places his argument is
faulty and vulnerable, but as a rule
plausible and logical, and his admir
ers so idolize him that the holes in
his armor shrink into insignificance
during the performance to reap^>ear
after it is over.
Some persons, ‘among them a few of
Mr. Kitchin’s real friends, are criticis
ing him for using the party lash so
vigorously, especially on North Caro
lina democrats w'ho do not agree with
him. Others excuse him on the ground

smiling from ear to ear, and said:
“Boys, I i&m,ashamed to tell him.”
This was in a jocular spirit but it
has been converted into an attack. The
blow that struck to the heart was the
charge that the North Carolinians who
voted to retain a duty on lumber were
hand in glove with John Dalzell and
the one of them that would not vote
for the Canadian reciprocity bill was
still with the standpat republicans
This riled Mr. Wfebb. However the

believe that any democrat in the dls
trict will believe that he is a repub
lican.

North Carolina political differences
crop out here so often that the av

Carried to its final analysis you will
find more pie than patriotism.
As w’as predicted in this correspond

stop it. Individual ambitions weep on
The democratic party must suffer for
it. Tw^o men cannot occupy one and
the same office at one and the same
time.
The reciprocity speech and the Sim
mons interviews and the Kitchin
speSfech are a part of the game. The
men are armed to the teeth and the
battle lines are forming. Senator
Simmons has declared in favor of a
primary. This is a call to arms. The
little warrior must be ready.
But this will be the last battle be
tween the Simmopses and the Kitch-
ins of the present generation. It is
almost time to change. Soon Senator
Simmons and Governor Kitchin will be
has-beens. Fifteen years is about as
long as one man can stay in the lime

somebody might dig up one of Mary
Ann Butler’s old campaign books and
accuse them, as Bryan does Roosevelt,
of stealing old clothes. There is noth

Atlanta, April 22.—Shall the poor
man have his locker club in Georgia,
where he can sit down and take his
drink just as the rich or well-to-do
citizen takes his?
That in its finality seems to be the
real question at issue in the fight
now on by the city council of Atlan
ta, to close the Union and Mechanics’
Club of this city.
While the U. and M. club Isn’t
strictly speaking a “poor man’s club,’’
it amounts practically to that, for Its
dues and initiation fees are put. so
low that almost anybody can afford to
join, whereas in most of the leading
social locker clubs in Atlanta, the
high dues, make the clubs more or
less exclusive.
A short time ago the city council
closed the Union & Mechanics’ club
on the ground that it was not in the
true spirit a social cyhb, but was
run primarily for the sale of liquor,
and set forth as an objection furthr
er that women visited the* club and
drank whiskey there.
The club secured a temporary in
junction against the city, re-opened its
doors, and the hearing for a pei’ma
iient injunction is now on in the su
perior court.
The club has carried the fight into
the enemy’s grounds, in a sense, by
summoning as witnesses John W
Grant, and a half dozen other prom
inenrt; citizens who are members
council and at the same time mem
bers of either the , Capitol City- or
the Piedmont Driving club, two
Atlanta’s leading social clubs which
have the locker feature. The attor
neys for the U. and M. club insist on
aiding these gentlemen whether
is not a fact the w'omen visit those
two clubs regularly and take drinks
there when they are minded to.
These gentlemen have refused to
answer the questions, not because
thy are ashamed to*admit that drinks
are served to ladies in the clubs, for
that is done in every reputable so
cial club of that kind in the land
but because they say it is irrelevant
to the case in hand
The attorneys for the U. and M
club say it is no sin ^for the poor/to
do as the rich do, and there you
are.
But the city insists that the dif
ference lies in the fact that the Cap
itol City and other clubs which are
permitted to run unmolested are in
reality primarily social clubs, with
the locker feature as incidental,
whereas the locker feature is the
principal if not the whole reason
for the existence of the U. and M.
The outcome of the case will be
watched with intense interest. Judge
Bell has not yet decided whether the
members of the Capitol City and
Driving clubs will be forced to tell
about women’s drinking in those two
places
Rev, and Mrs. S. E. P. Wells, of
Alpharetta, Ga., were seriously hurt
yesterday afternoon near Decatur,
when a collision occurred between a
trolley car and their liorse and bug

tracks where the accident happened.
The horse became frightened by the
oncoming car and dashed onto the
tracks. Both horse and buggy w’^ere
struck. The horse was actually cut
in two, while the buggy was dragged
some thirty yards, the occupants be
ing thrown out. Both w'ere picked

It is whispered here that a site for
the new governor’s mansion may be
selected as far out as Drtjid/ Hills,

is by far the loveliest of Atlanta, but
unfortunately is all of four miJles dis
tant from the capitol. “What differ
ence does that make in these days
of the telephone and automobile?” in
quire advocates of the plan.
Hardy Ulm, private secretary to
Governor Brown, of Georgia, says
that the old proverb of the “hit dog
hoAvling” fits Gov. Cole L. Blease, of
Soiith Carolina, excellently well,
Ulm has felt it his Christian and
official duty to say some mighty plain
things about the governor of South
Carolina recently. The gentlemen at
the executive ofl[ice of the state of
Georgia were not entirely charmed
when Governor Blease wrote some
time ago in response to their re
spectful request for a portrait of .the
South Carolina statesman, Langdon
Cheves, that he “had never heard of
such a person.’' ,
Still less was Majibr Ulm pleased
when Governor Blease recently re
fused to honor a. Georgia requisition
and gratuitiously insulted Governor
Brown by declaring he was using his
executive power to help collect debts.
At that time Ulm opined that Blease
knew “just about as much about the
law of requisition as he did about
the history of South Carolina,” and
said it was the kind of action that
might be expected from a man who
had answered of the late Langdon
Cheves, “I don’t know Cheves, or
where he is now. at.”
So Governor Blease has said that
what Ulm said was a “lie.” Ulm just
chuckles and says the letter writ
ten by Governor Blease speaks-for
itself, and shows plainly enough who
is the liar.
