WOM TRUST dawyer Shearn Makes Another 4, Effort to Get Contracts Be- _ | fore the Interstate Commerce as Evidence of Combine. COMPANIES FIGHTING HARD. dent Lederle retary of Hebbard, of the Guaran- tee Trust Company, Holds Some \ of the Contracts, but Objection Is Made to Their Production. ‘ : President Lederle, of the Board of Health, says that the smoke nuisance has to stop. “I am determined to stamp out this evil,” he declared to an Eyening World reporter, “and I will prosecute every violator of the law without discrimina- tion, Users of soft coal must either abate the nulsance by placing smoke consumers In thelr chimneys and me- chanically stoking thelr furnace beds or I will arrest them and prosecute them until they do, “Every complaint made to this depart- ment will be investigated and promptly acted upon. The market is gutted with anthracite coal, and I hold that there 1s not the slightest excuse that can be offered for a continuance of the burning oi soft coal in the crowded sections of the city. There will be no let up in the hunt for violators of the law." Law-Ablding tn Brooklyn. Following a “smoke talk” in President Lederle's office, which was attended by the sanitary Inspectors of the five bor- oughs, the head of the Health Depart- ment yesterday ordered a epecial inspec- tion of the o! ‘The wators surround- ing Manhattan were crutsed In the de- partment tug Franklin Edison and the shores carofully scrutinized for eyi- dences of violation of the ordinance, +) The Interstate Commerce Commission YPeontinued to-day ¢he investigation into the complaint that the coal carrying ‘rafiroads have been violating the antl- trust law. With the exception of the Pennsyl- ‘Vania and the Baltimore and Objo, all of the defendant railroads were repre- sented by counsel, who acted in con- yanti-trust law to restrict the output of ‘anthracite coql and that they discrimin- tate dgainst the independent mine own- ‘ers in favor of the mines controlled tthe railroad companies. He tried very hard to get in evidence the contracts be- ‘tween the railroads and the coal mining ; panies, but in each case the lawyers eclined to permit their clients to pro- duce the contracts and dented the ./ authority of the Commissioners to coi ‘pel them to do so. The Commissioners @ertified the point at issue, to the Fed- ‘eral Courts for adjudication, After More Contracts.

"Those are the President's instructions,” Near by, at the foot of Bast Thirtieth street, dense clouds of black smoke were arising from the Jacob Doll ware- house. Dr. Roberts stated that he had made a personal investigation of the establishment and found that power was being rented to several other manu- factories in the vicinity, His remarks indicated that an inspector 1s now on his way to the locality of the nuisance with power to act. “These manufastories give us the greatest trouble," he sald. “When they think that they are not under the eye of the department they fill up thelr fur- naces with waste wood, sawdust and shavings. That makes a worse nuisance than goft coal.” Law Abiding in Broo! The lower end of Manhattan was, found to be practically free from black smoke. On the Brooklyn shore between the two bridges the same satisfactory condition pfevailed, A few chimneys were emitting black smoke In the South Brooklyn territory, and these are belng investigated to-day, but those old offenders, the sugar refineries, breweries and the tce plants, were not Ieted as offenders, Even the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's power-house, for- metly a “terrible nulsance,” was en- circled above by a mild gray smoke. “When such concerns as these obey {the law I certainly will make tho others fall Into line,” said President Lederle.

George Prigge, one of the prominent members of the association, said it was his opinion that the neg trolley combine intended-to give the people a lot of “not air.” Vice-Prealdent Dorbecker called at- tention to the transfer system ana badly ventilated cars.

Few, indeed. Many imagine just to throw out a few bait items suffices. There are writers of ornate ad- vertisements whorehash old stock, and who try to cultivate the pleas- ures of imagination with a Babel of adjectives. They really try to be serious-minded. Not every striking advertisement has strik- ingly good merchandise back.of it. These are times for crucial an- alysis—careful comparison of merchandise — discrimination, keen judgment, and the keeping of your wits about you. Much mer- chandise that is aged and infirm, ill-favored and obsolete, is mas- querading under clouds of elusive and persuasive words. This store is a perpetual expo- sition of the newest and best mer- chandise from every part of the world. Exact information iswhat we give you, as exdct as the time- table of a railroad, and you know how accurate that must be. TO-MORROW WILL BE FRIDAY —that means exceptional values. SILKS. Rotunda.
