| Must Clean Up the River (Continued from page one) well as the company if the plant, was closed with its present stock of many lens of thousands of tons of beets which would rot and waste away. In support of Ihf efforts of his department to correct not only specific causes of stream, pollution in Indiana. but also to prevent all contributing sources of contamination. Mr. Lieber lias cited to committees of Kort. Wayne citizens that while he deeply t egrets the fact, yet never!heleses such is true, while tile legislature gave the state department of conservation sufficient power to act in such cases, it neglected to provide funds to liquidate such work, despite the Insistence of thousands of. Indiana taxpayers that the department proceed to this definite end. In his letter to the Holland-St. Louis company, making it plain that lie expects immediate action to relieve tlie condition on tile St. Marys riv,er, Mr. laeliur said: “I do not wish in the least to belittle your efforts nor to doubt your good intentions to do away witli these insuf ferable conditions, but 1 believe it ir only fair to all concerned that I should state in no uncertain terms that this department will go Io the full length to enforce observance ol the law. This does not mean, of course, that the department would bo unwilling to co-operate with you in I finding a solution in fact, it is anx I ions to do so. but it cannot lie ex-1 peeled to tolerate continuance in the! event that suggested remedies are not l acceptable to you. We will, therefore,] thank yon to inform us without de-1 lay of the provisions of plans you are making to forestall a repetition of this pollution and to submit to us such other material as is necessary to determine the dependability of the proposed method.” Determined that this department shall be co-operative in every sense possible and desirous of it being of real service in solving this situation on the St. Mary's river, Mr. Lieber has suggested tlie following solution which he submitted to the HollandSt. Louis people. It follows: "As 1 see it we have to deal with a fact of seasonal industrial activity. 1 believe you call it a campaign. This I campaign starts as soon as enough | beets have been delivered. It incidentally happens that this comes off at a time when water, of which a large volume is required, is very low owing to the season. You are unable to obtain more water in the event that you wish to Increase tlie capacity of the house. If there would be away to prepare beets and delay tlie sugarmaking process until a time that more .an be had. conditions perhaps would not be as serious as they are now. It occurred to me to ask whether a Harrison process of dehydrating under vaccum would not work woth in the [ interest of stream purity and an easier production of sugar. Os course, the ideal process would be to have this done in the beet fields | ! hemselves, thereby avoiding the ship-1 I ment of nearly eighty per cent, of use j less bulk. Hut even if it were done I in thd factories after shipment was! made, it would first stop tlie loss by decay, and secondly, I am led to be ' lieve that the enzymic action would ! increase tlie sucrose production. If this were true from eighty to eightyfive per cent, of the wastes of the entire plant could be disposed of in a [ | simple manner, screening the brief [ ] sedimentation constituting adequate] purification. There would remain then j [treatment of the water used in flush-1 I ing out diffusion cells. This waste [ I contains one-tenth to five-tenths pci ] i cent, of sugar, other organic material I in solution and fine particles of beet in suspension. There would be- the waste from tlie pulp presses, containing likewise organic extracts and fine material in suspension; lastly we have to consider tlie waste water from the washing of the filtering cakes. This water contains large quantities ct precipitated lime and small amount.: of sugar. The waste from these last three items demand very thorough treatment. Our engineer estimates the volume of this waste to vary from 400.000 to 500,000 gallons for each thousand tons of beets handled. He states that while the calicum carbonate contained thjerein settles out rather quickly that the remnant demands very complete treatment by oxidation processes to prevent a nuisance in the streams into which it is discharged. If the de-li yd ration processes above mentioned suggests itself to you, one of the gains as irdlcated would be a greater freedom of operation, it would not be necessary to pursue an intensive) campaign. It would simplify the handling of the bulk of the raw material. ACT IMMEDIATELY —if you want Wayne Kniitting Mills Common Stock SIIO.OO per share. W. H.

DENIAL IS ISSUED Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 31, 1920 ; Democrat, ' Decatur, Indiana. The action of the republican state 1 committee In attempting to fasten on democrats responsibility for the circulation of pamphlets questioning Senator Harding’s ancestral relations was nailed us a ‘'scurillous implicitlion" in a statement issued here to1 day by the democratic state central ’ committee and the Marion county democratic committee. The statement which was signed by Benjamin f Bosse, state chairman, and Reginald Sullivan, county chairman, is a coin-] ■ plete denial to the charges contained [in paid advertisements published) [throughout Indiana by the repuldican] state committee in an eleventh hour ■ attempt to detract the attentions of . the voters from tlie dominant issue. Tlie message which is addressed to the voters of Indiana is as follows: "On tlie last days of the campaign tlie republican state committee has seen fit to insert in tlie newspapers of Indiana as a paid advertisement a certain statement entitled ‘The most damnable conspiracy in tlie history of American politics' and signed by one, E. G. Burkham, editor of tlie Dayton. Ohio. Journal. ‘ln such advertisement,’ said Burkham attributes to 'men high up in the democratic party.’ Tlie distribution of l certain statements headed ‘Harding's [Family Tree.’ The publication of 1 I such advertisement in Indiana by tlie I republican state committee on prac- [ tically the closing day of the cam- [ paign can have but one palpable purpose, viz: A final effect to arouse the partisanship and prejudice of thousands of republicans and progressive voters both men and women who have openly declared their intention of voting the democratic ticket because of the great moral issue involved in the league of nations. “We condemn and deplore as equally reprehensible the circulation of such pamphlets and the efforts of the republican state committee to: fix the responsibility for same upon; the democratic party. We pledge the men and women of Indiana that the circulation of such scurillous j pamphlets was not prompted by the democratic-party as an organization.] We have at all times openly condemn , ed the same and called upon the I chief of police of the city of Indianapolis to suppress by arrest, if possible, j those individuals who were, dis tributing such literature. The demo cratic party both in the state and in the nation has presented the issues aggressively- but truthfully and has refused to appeal to racial or religious prejudices. We regret that our opponents have not .seen so to do. We are proud of the cleanliness and decency with kvhich the democrats] have conducted this campaign ami we close the same in full confidence [ that the righteousness of our cause] I fairly and truthfully presented will I appeal to the sense of justice and fair play of the American people and that they by their votes will repudi--1 ate the scurillous implication containj ed in the afore mentioned advertisement of the state republican committee.” H. C. FEIGHTNER, Director of Publicity. Riots Follow (Continued from page one) I lips for Ireland. 19 year old Kelvin [ Barry was hanged here today for alleged complicity in the murder of ] three British soldiers. A great crowd gathered outside the i : prison early in the morning, watching the soldiers patrolling the street. At 8 o’clock the prison bell boomed and as if at a signal the crowd fell to its knees, praying until the bell had ceased to toll.
