ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AST) CHRONICLE. TUESDAY. MARCII 7, 1005. 9 muu lu the picture looks, when his tu BANNERS WON BY WILL WORK TO LESSEN SMOKE UNANIMOUS DECISION OF CHAMiEH. OF COMMERCE.

DECIDES IT IS TIME TO ACT but 1 think more would not. That is Mio sentiment of nearly ull the business men 1 huve talked with. Manufacturers uru not the only ones that make bluck smoke by any means. Many blocks, apurtuieut bouses and stores are heated with soft coal. "1 spoke to a gentlemau the other day, whom I know very well, and who owns a large apurtment house, about using soft coal.

His reply was, '1 pleud guilty, und when an ordinance is passed making all either to put iu a smoke consumer or burn hard coal I will willingly obey The The New Wash Goods The signs in the zodiac betoken a banner wash goods season. All records, it is expected, will go by the board. Manufacturers have vied with on another in the production of original and artistic designs. As a result, it is really wonderful what infinite variety is presented and what exquisite effects are procurable for little money.

Fct Coats Last Call A time such as this, when the scene is shifting to a new season, may not seem the psycho, logical moment for turning the calcium on fur coats. But there is method in such madness. This winter, it is true, is nearing an end, but, in all probability, there's another coming. While, therefore, you may be able to worry along with that old- fur wrap, through the balance of the season, it may be a fair assumption that you will need a new one next winter. If so, this announcement should interest and may profit you.

father than pack away the balance of our line of fur coats, we accept the lesser of two evils by making final concessions such as these: $55 00 Nearseal Coats $40.0 $50.00 Nearseal Coats now 35 $40.00 Nearseal Coats now 35 $25.00 Electric Seal Coats now bercttlosis is almost done. The man wus once a little boy, but he lived in a shadow und the shadow wus the pall of dust und soot find smoke thut overhuugs us. Dr. M.sire spoke brietlv, corroborating statements made by Dr. Coler.

Diseases caused by the smoke in the air, be said pauperized many, ami in the end this was great expense upon the public. would be cheaper, und much wiser, suid Dr. Moore, to remove the cuuse of these evils. What Cleveland Has Done. Tiie address by Supervising Engineer Kruuse, of Clevelund, was of especiul in terest; it showed a comprehensive kuowl edge of methods of bringing about abulumeut of the smoke nuisance and of the appliances used.

'In Cleveland," said Mr. Krause, "this subject has been agituted for twenty yeurs but it is only within the last four years that any definite progress bus been mnde. Improvement in conditions in Cleveland, suid Mr. Krause, had been brought about through a campaign of education and per suasion, with the support to be derived from municipal ami state measures. "Experience has shown two said the speaker: First, that smoke call be prevented, and, second, that the prevention of smoke means dollars and cents to the owner.

The saving which results Iroui perfect combustion is not a matter of theory, but of everyday experiment. Care ful tests tnado by experienced men in the employ of large manufacturing concerns of Clevelund have shown thut a saving of from 10 to 5 per cent, is effected by the use of smokeless furnaces. After describing tho methods briefly, -Ur. Krause continued: "The progress made by following these methods is best shown by the fact Unit at the present time there are over l.OOO smokeless furuuees in operation (in Cleveland) as compared with 400 when this department (formed to work for the abatement of smoke nuisance) began its work, an increase of 150 per cent, in four years. hile it is probably true that nil of these improvements are not entirely due to the efforts of this department, still is it also true that the steady and constant: pressure has nad Its effect.

Law is Necessary. "Our policy has been one of persuasion and argument rather than persecution, but it is nevertheless necessary to have the law back of you in cases where argu ment has tailed to have its effect. "In order tu be successful in Rochester, you must hrst havu statutory lis well us municipal legislation, making titiu emission ot jeitse smoke a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine. Next you must have men to supervise this work who are famil iar with all the successful' devices in use for the abatement of smoke, and they should be willing to give their advice freely in determining Ihe particular needs of each plunt. The members of the Chamber )f Commerce should be prepared to take the initiative in complying with reonests made by your Inspectors and should give tliem uetive support in currying out this re form." Mr.

Krause spoke of cases where man ufacturers hud been opposed to installing stokers, but bad become enthusiastic ad vocates of them after having used them fur a time. A number of letters from manufacturers, testifying to the suving made by the use of stnoke-coiisuming appliances, were read by Mr. Krause. He had in his possession, lie suid, at least 150 similar letters. Stecher Company's Experience.

F. A. Steelier told of tile causes that had led to bis hrm's installing stokers. It had been necessary, he said, for his firm to move from St. Paul street, be cause of the injury to lithographing materials, duo to the dense smoke of the Jistriet in which the factory was located.

In the new factory, be said, smoke-con suming devices were installed. Our saving in fuel has been at least 'o or per cent. said Stecher. We have had our appliances three venrs. and have had no repairs, and they seem to need any now.

When they are managed right we do not huve a bit of smoke. The amount of smoke produced is reduced ut least iiine-tentlis. I wouldn't go back to the old method." John H. Leathers told of the working of stokers in the Powers building nud hotel. Tesis had shown, he said, that there had been a gain through the use of und'-r- feed stokers 11 per cent, in evaporalion nud in fuel of fiver per ceiil.

He tunuted that Ihe production of smoke had been reduced by 95 per cent. The stokers. said he, should pay for themselves iu from three to live years. Mr. l.uudon and Mr Miller commended the smoke-consuiiilng devices highly.

William C. Harry spoke briefly, express ing the hope that all reasonable measures would be taken to keep Rochester a beauti ful city. The question of abating the smoke nuisance had been dealt with in a sut is factory manner, he said. Views of President Rogers. President Rogers, of the chamber, set forlh his views in these words: "I stated in my short inaugural address two months ago that I would not recom ment the Chamber of Commerce to take any actiou that would be injurious to the business interests of Rochester, but if the time hail come when the.

soft-coal smoke nuisance could be abated without injury to the business interests of the city, it would be a great boon to all of its citizens. I stand by that, statement to-day. ftince that time I have made a careful study of the different smoke consumers now in use and the conditions of our city, and have mnde up my mind that tho time has come ami I think you will agree with me, after hearing what has been suid here to-night, "I do not expect the suioke can ull be abated in six months or even in a year, but large portion of it ought to be done away with iu that time. If every user of soft coal will examine into the different devices for abating smoke and select the one best adapted to bis plant, he will be convinced that he has the double inducement of self interest ami civic pride for pluciug it there, "I submit to this chamber. It.

is a hardship for users of soft coal to be re. quired to put iu some kind of smoke consumer, when they can at once save money by so doing? A few people think that a smoke ordinance would prevent manufacturers from coming here. AH the 'ago factories established here and in the suburbs within the last three years have voluntarily put in these consumers Tor economy's sake. It seems to me that that fact is the best evidence that it will not injuriously affect manufacturers. Nearly ail cities have smoke ordinances.

Many Cities Have Ordinances. 'Now, If any object to an ordinance be ing passed because they fear it will drive away manufacturers, the answer is, where will they go? Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and Toronto have such ordinances, i have a copr the Syracuse', Buffalo, Detroit, Tornito and Cleveland ordinances. One would turn lly think that any one using soft coal would be willing to put in at least one of the devices that costs from $ljr to without an ordinance being paed, even if he did not. expect to save tel doing so.

M. C. A. Alusic Hall and in tho evening in the Brick Presbyterian Church. Judge Harvey Remington, president of the counly union, presided iu the afternoon.

He was down for an address, but being called away at tiie time he should have delivered it, G. A. Curren, vice-president, spoke in his stead. Mr. Currcu expressed the idea that missionary work wus not the Hrst thing to teach the young, much as it is to be desired.

He thought they should first be influenced to do right. "When we teach our boys ami girls to pray," said he, "they will have the missionary spirit." -Mr. Curren introduced C. W. Kent, who represents the Mount Herman School, founded by Dwight L.

Moody at. Mount Herman, Mass. Mr. Kent was office secretary of the Rochester Y. M.

C. for ono year. Ha sketched brielly the work of the institution since its establishment, saying that all students there were under powerful influence for good, in addition to the mental training. 'The speaker made an urgent idea that those present try to induce the bs-al societies they represented to contribute funds for the school, hich is iu financial need. He said that nine-tenths of the pupils were self-supporting young men, tiie class for whom the scliisd was founded.

The alumni were unwilling, said Mr. Kent, that the price of tuition be raised, because they wished to keep the institution open for those for whom it was desig ledt He said that the Y. P. S. C.

E. of the Second Baptist Church had consented to make an annual contribution of $10. He said the present deficit in the school's ex penses Is Winners of the "Banners. The meeting at the Brick Church in tho evening was largely attended. Mr.

McKee presided. The interest centered in the awarding of the banners. Westminster Church society tisik the banner for the largest average attendance at its meetings ami also the bauner fur the largest percentage of attendance in proportion to membership. The intermediate society of Corn Hill Methodist Church received the banner for tne largest representation at the meeting. It took the sumo banner at the last meeting.

To the intermediate society of the Brick Church was awarded Ihe banner for the largest percentage of representation. Every member wus present. In the absence Miss Helen M. Rum-sey, the secretary, B. Anient, the treasurer, announced the winning societies.

The banners were presented by Uev. F. Lindsay, of (J race Presbyterian Church. Kev. E.

P. Hubhell, of Corn Hill Church, gave the address. He believed the success of religious enterprises in the present generation depended on personal work, fbut is. influencing individuals. Ha said this method prevailed in the commercial world.

The meeting was a large one; there were present fully men. There were a number of speakers, and all spoke strongly in favor of the use of devices tor the prevention of smoke. A mass or testimony was presented, to show thut stokers and otter appliances would prac tically prevent the production of smoke. that they could be installed in any plant and that their use was a positive gain to manulucturers and others.

ihe speakers were Hev. William It. Taylor, IJ. of Brick Presbyterian uurcn; tir. Ueorgn W.

The meeting was represented and keen interest was manifested. It was 10:40 clock before adjournment for luncheon was taken. All who were interested in the subject of abating smoke had been invited to attend the meeting. Among those present were City Engineer Edwin A. Fisher; A.

The motions to the effect that definite action be taken were made by Robert Mathews, of Mathews Boucher. And were unanimously carried. They were: Let ft tie the sense of the meeting that (lie time ban come when actle Mens should he fatten for the abatement of the coal imioke nuisance.

These ma I ions were put and carried separately. System" to be Combatted. Dr.

Taylor, who was the lirst speaker, said, ii) partr "One of the first and most important tilings in this discussion is to depersonalize it. in talking this matter over we are not throwing stones at one another. We are not making charges against individuals. We are discussing what Thomas W. I.uw-son, of Boston, would call a which hss grown up among us, for which no individual or individuals in particular are responsible.

So no one least of all one whose profession happens to call for the production of sound raihet than smoke can afford to play the Phari see in this matter. It is incumbent on us all rather to be bumble and charitable and to kep sweet." Dr. Taylor then spoke of the methods I by which waste -shavings, chips, favdtist ashes mid slag, garbage and new age were disposed of; and argued that equal cure shoald be exercised to prevent the air being polluted by smoke, nnd prop eit.v, Interior and exterior decorations ot buildings, clothing, books, pic lures, fu nishings, being damaged bv it. it was said, Dr. Taylor said, that smoke preventing appliances could be used with profit to the user.

Cunt inning he said: If that Is true, so much the better. line my contention Is that if it costs us something and costs us big, we ought to do away with the nuisance. What big sums of money we spend upon our sewers, nnd upon the removal of ashes and gurha should be just as willing to spend wnar may be necesssrv to do away with the filthy and destructive refuse that now spewed out upon the community from the foul mouths of hundreds of dimmer We accept the burden of the expeme of removing solid and liquid refuse without finest ion or complaint because it seems perfectly obvious that we must. But I suppose that the time was when our fiith ers and predecessors wer just as reluctant to assume that burden, because it was new one, as we are to assume the burden or getting rid of smoke. But It is bound to come, just as oilier refuse-removing sj stems came; and the sooner it; comes, the better nud the cheaper it will be f.

uu ot us in the end. From the standpoint of respectability said the speaker. Ihe municipal house keeping should be decent. Health Officer's Views. Dr.

Color contributed effectively to tiie presentation of the question of the smoke nuisance. With the aid of stereoplico.i, he contrasted conditions in the country nnd in the city, as to purity of the atmosphere. The extent to which the air in Rochester is polluted with smoke was graphically shown. The effect of smoke upon the pulmonary tissues was shown, and the CTtent to which this wus a factor in producing tuberculosis, pneumonia nnd oilier diseases of the tbroai and lungs was discussed. The standard of living and the moral tone of the poor were lowered by the smoke evil, said Dr.

Ooler. Proof of these statements was furnished by tile speaker, who said, in part: "The self respect that comes from cleanliness ought to give higher moral tone to the great mass of the people who are (he wage earners of the community. Manifestly, if they are not aided in being clean, they will be less moral, for cleanliness anil morals are closely allied. If smoke makes dirty persons, dirty clothing and lowers the moral tone of the people, it also makes possible ninny diseases, and the diseases makes are the two chief diseases of onr citizens, tuberculosis and pneumonia. "The men who contract tuberculosis from dust and smoke and soot, who live In the smoke urea, live in tenements where two or three sleep in a room, and where after a little while they look as the all of us by line saved ny sum pe sons is a mere bugatelle compared to the damage done to the community at large, "If an ordinance were passed, giving plenty of time to have their plants installed, say six or nine months, possibly a year (one ordinance I read gave only six months) I think there would be but little opposition to it.

When our people learn thut all other cities throughout the lake region huve such ordinances, they cannot expect Rochester to be behind nil others in advocating a measure thut inaki'S tor the health, comfort ami beauty of our city. "We not only wunt Rochester to bo a good pluce for business, but we also want it to be a clean, healthful and delightful pluce to reside in." Mr. Rogers read a number of letters from large companies that were using stok ers with excellent resuits, ami gave lig- ures to show that there wera many of them used in cities in this and other states. After Mr. Mufhews had made motions to the effect thut the chamber act in ubut-ing the smoke nuisunce, two men interested iu plants that have small furnaces spoke against action, on the ground thut appliances could not be profitably installed in small pluuts.

Both Mr. Krause and Mr. Rogers assured these men that cheap devices for preventing smoke could be bought; nnd that they would give satis factory results.
