Bf Associated Prfu. Chicago, Jan. 3. Judge Baker this afternoon granted a writ of superse deas In the case of union leaders con victed In the dynamite plot. Chicago, Jan. 3. An attempt to free 32 of the 33 dynamiters convicts ed at Indianapolis on bail, pending an appeal of their case, was made here today In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Herbert S. llockin will not appeal. , The convicted labor leaders, through their counsel, appeared to argue for a writ of supersedeas to stay execution of sentence Inflicted by the United States District court and for the ad mission to bail of the prisoners pend ing further, action by the 'Court of Appeals. Attorney Zollne presented the peti tion in behalf of the convicted iron workers and argued in support of It, as did Attorney Krum. Zollne de clared that In cases such as the pres ent, the prisoners have the privilege of bail, particularly as the defendants were sentenced and sent to Leaven worth before a hearing on a writ of error had been held. Do you mean to tell me that a writ of supersedeas should issue as a matter of light?" inquired Judge Baker. "That is my understanding," replied Zollne, who then began quoting Su preme court decisions which he said bore on the point. Judge linker stated that the point of the writ of error wus not well tak en. He added there was no occusion i for the Court of Appeals to supervene' in any case unless It Is shown that the procedure of the lower court wns questionable at law. Replying to this, Zollne argued thut the evidence on which convictions wore obtained at Indianapolis were "vague and-inadc.qua.teViind that tha judge of the lower court should not have allowed the cases of many of the defendants to go to the jury. WARNED WIFE HE WOULDJCILL HER Giis Gaither, Colored, Shoots Wife Because She Went to Party. Sprrial to The- Omctte-News. Hendcrsonville, Jan. 3. Gus Gaith er, a negro, forbade his wife going to a party on New Year's eve. She went, u nd he followed her but, it la said, found nothing In her conduct to which a jealous husband could object. Nevertheless he told her afterward that he would kill her If It was the lust thing he did; that the next day "his soul or her would be In hell." . Last night. In their home, the wom an told him, It is said, that they had better separate; that the next day he had better pack up and leave, and that she Intended spending the night at a nelghbor'a. It appeared that the woman was trying to sound the man, believing he would probably carry out his threat. He went out and walked around the hotife. Then he went Into the room adjoining that where his wife was sitting. At 8 o'clock he opened the door and shot the woman In the mouth. Death' was Instant.

Setting the good example of operating Its own power plant smokelessly In a city that is attempting to combat the nuisance, The United States Bureau of Mines is out with the statement that the smoke of bttleB can be largely re duced and perhaps entirely prevent ed. The power plant is connected with the Experiment station of the Bureau ut Pittsburgh, Pa., and It has been conducted without objec tionable smoke for more than two years. The Bureau's report, made public today. destroys the popular notion that smoke may he lessened by the use of a so-called "smoke consumer," some Bpecial device, which If placed in the stack or in the smoke pas sages, will in some way consume the smoke. Samuel B. Klagg, engineer in charge of the smoke Investigations, declares that although such a me thod may not be an impossibility. It is Impractical. Smoke, ho says, is caused by the f lamest from the coal coming Into contact with the cool surfaces-of a boiler. .As an Illus tration place a saucer In the flame f a can-die. ami the bottom of . the Kauier will be covered with smoke. Hold the saucer just above tho flame and there will bo no smoke. Coal can bo burned smokelessly,- Engineer Elugg Insists, If you give the coal the 1 roper chance to burn. That Is all there Is to it. "Smoke Is Waste." The Bureau of Mines is charged with conducting tests to increase the efficiency' with which the fuels pur chased by the government are used, and Incidentally it has found that Federal buildings throughout the country are not only wasting coal but are adding to the smoke nuisance of the cities. This led to tnking up an Investigation of this troublesome pro blem. It was discovered by Engineer t'lagg that no two cities In the coun E Decides Not to Send Goethals' Nomination to The Senate.

Kenator Urandagee after a personal Investigation among democratic sona lors told the president It seemed im possible to have the proposed nomina tion conllrmcd. Home democrat, he wild, made tho statement that ut the time the I'anamu canal uct was passed giving the president power to appoint a civil governor and establish a new administration thoro was an under standing that no Immediate changes would be made by the republican ad ministration. The president told Senator Uranda gee that he knew of no Buch under standing but he would not allow Col. Goethals' name to becomo Involved In a political controversy. It la prob able that Mr. Wilson will be con fronted with the task of forming the new none government and settling many big problems of Its administra tion. . - Memorial Hcnii-e on Held Estate, s 4nooat4 Prm.

He found drastic ordinances in some municipalities that could only serve to make the citizens fight them; he found in other cities, laws that could not possibly be enforced. As a result of his investigation, he declares that the most progress can bo made In cities by the authorities Insisting that In all new buildings furnances shall be be Installed that are absolutely smokeless. In this re port he quotes a number of the dif ferent smoke ordinances, explains 'Where they aro good and bad, and builds up a series of ordinances that might prove of value to municipali ties of various sizes. llow It Can Re Done Mr. Flitgg says: "It Is quite cer tain that the greatest advances in smoke abatement In our cities have come in tHe past and must come in the future, through the organized ef. fort of the city smoke Inspection de partments,' supplemented by the ac tive cooperation of citizens. A strong public sentiment in favor of smoke abatement Is almost an ab solute necessity, if satisfactory results ! are :, to- tie accomplished ,- The time may come wnen punnc sentiment against permitting the escape of dense smoke will be so strong that every plant owner or operator will feel obliged to prevent such escape of smoke, regardless of the existence of an ordinance or of his own person al feeling or inclinations. This con dition does not prevail today in any city In the United States. Just as so'-u as each Individual realizes that It is not only his duty, but that it will work to his own lienefit to co operate In that which will result In the greatest good to all, just so soon will the- necessity for a smoke ordi nance disappear. In the meantimo, hitwever, or until the present me thods of burning bituminous coal are radically changed, such a necessity will exist in those localities where May Knit Broken Bones In 4 Days Says Carrel Rockefeller Institute Wizard Bases Sensational Prediction on Long Continued Researches Applies Mixture of Ductless GeanL to Wounds with great Results. Kv Associated Press. New York, Jan. 3.

J. -Italy has now followed tho lead of the Egyptian railways and has placed an order for 200,000 tuna of coul In America, while she also has Invited tenders for a large iiantlty from other mines. Italy Is one ot the customers of Wales. Hhe has her own coal depot at Cardiff and has hitherto taken 2,000, 000 tona of coal, a year from thla port Revolvers Barred Front I "a roe is IHwt y le4atW Prt. WMhlngton, Jau, I. Postmaster Oenaral Hitchcock yesterday I "'tod an order amending the parcels post regu lations which would bar from the par cels post service "pistols or revolvers whether In detached parts or other w is. large quantities of such coal arc con sumed. "Under present conditions it is too often the case that building are so designed as to leave Insufficient room for the proper equipment. Boilers are so placed that they can not be properly cleaned or operated; hence they are forced, or additional capac ity is crowded In, and smoke-producing conditions result. It is therefore important that the situation of the boiler plant and the providing of ade quate space for It should receive con sideration no less than the proper de sign of furnances. Obviously, to ac complish these ends, persistent and systematic as well as sHentltlcn.lly eorrect methods must be adopted. In other words, organization Is necessary, and the ordinance should specify not only how the work ,1s to be organiz ed, but also the necessary qualifica tions of those who are to be appoint-1 ed to carry it on. Satisfactory pro-1 gress will seldom be made unless the organization is such that certain of ficials or employes give their atten tion to the work of smoke abatement and are held responsible for the re sults produced. If the Installation of improperly designed furnances is prevented, the policing duties of the Inspector will eventually be reduced to a minimum. The advisability of making this sort of provision Is clear ly shown in nearly any one of the cities where tills protective work is not done, by the fact that some of the newest plants have been so con structed that dense smoke is emitted a large part of the time, even though the firing may be done with a fair de gree of care and Intelligence. The wnoke ordinance should therefore re quire that plans and specifications for all construction work on furnances be submitted to the smoke Inspector and he upprovcd by him before work is started. If this protective feature Is to be Included, the smoke Inspec tor must be an engineer, qualified by technical -training and experience for the duties of the office, and the ordinance should specify that these qualifications are required. "The most important conclusion reached is that smoke, abatement by ordinance can not hope to succeed un less supported by public sentiment and that a smoke ordinance should look to future prevention rather than an Immediate prohibition. In other words, strict control of furnance con struction, offers much greater hope for smoke abatement than desultory Imposition of severe penalties on the escape of 'dense' or 'black' smoke."

EVERY ONE HAS HAD INCREASED BUSINESS Statements Are General but Some Figures are Given Good Indication of General Conditions. The banking business of a city is considered as the barometer or the whole business of the community, and for that reason some general and spe cific Information has been secured from the officials of the five Ashevlllc banks as to the business of 1912. Tho Information thus secured indicates that the city of Asheville enjoyed one of the most prosperous years In Its history during the year Just closed. Very few of the banks have thelr flscal year coinciding with the calen dar year, therefore specific records are lacking from the majority of them. I There Is nothing lacking In any of the general statements, however, to Indi cate that the banking business here Is in u prosperous and healthy condition. The business is being conducted on a liberal basis, yet retaining all the con servative principles of safe and sound bunking. Such conditions prevailed throughout 1912, and It Is the opinion of the officials of each of the banks that the prospects for 1913 are even brighter than have ever been appar ent heretofore. Mr. Hay's Statement. The statement made by President Edwin U Kay of tho Citizens bank In cludes some figures that stand for themselves In Indicating the, prosper ous condition of this Institution. Mr. Ray said in part: "The business of the Citizens bank during the year 191'! 4nereasd -about. p cent,, and the earnings have been over 20 per cent. The R"mi-iinnual four per cent dividend will be paid within a few days. The annuu) meeting will be held on January 16, anil, there Will be no change In the officers or directors of the bank. The last sale of the stock of the bank was at 160." from the Wachovia. An equally Interesting statement is made by the officers of the Asheville branch of the Wachovia Bank & Trust eompnny. This statement Is prefaced thus: "The Wnchovla Bonk & Trust eompunv, Asheville branch, has had a very prosperous year, its profits for the vear have been very satisfactory.' This statement shows that the deposits increased for the year over $125,000 and Its loans, all locally made. In creased more than $150,000. It Is fur ther shown by the published state ment of November 26 that the deposits for the company as a whole Increased .luring the vear over $1,600,000. There Will be a meeting of the shareholders of this rompi.ny on JanuaryTU. Tho llattery Iark. In the statement by an official of the Battery Park bank no actual ng urea were given but the following In dicates that the officials and directors are well pleaed with the showing oi he vear: "There has been a material Increase In the deposits of the Battery Park bank during 1912, and the insti tution has enjoyed the most prosper mis vear In tho history of the buBl ness." The annual meeting ot the uV i-M-tors and stockholders of this Dana, at which time the annual report will bo made, will bo held In Marcn. From Mr. Jenkins The statement of President U 1 Tonkins of the American National bank Is as follows: "During 1912 tne himlneui of the American Nation bunk hna been vory satisfactory, and a number of new accounts have neen nkn on. The prospects for tne com Inn vear are far better for success nn.Tntlnn than ever before in tne nm torv of the hank, ana tne general financial outlook for the community from the Uinrtpolnt of the banker, Is healthier than It has been since I hav been 111 Asheville." Statement of Central. The Central Bank Trust company, which has not yet completed Its first year of business having been opened In March, also ha an Interesting re port. The bank opened with a capital stock of $50,000 with a $5000 surplus, and although no dividends or extra surplus have beeti declared, Freslden C. W. Brown atte that the present deposits of tho bank aggregate $200 000. lind that the general business Is most satisfactory to tho official an directors of tha Institution. Huch statements from the flnancl Institutions of the elty will doubtless add to the cencrnl optimistic tuition that la held for 19U and there ar- few who doubt that the prospect fo the present are as bright. If not brighter, than predicted. Want TrxaM-liOuhdana Waterway. By Associated Pre. New Orleana. Jan. 3.
