MR. SWEENEY WILL ACT FISH COMMISSIONER WILL PROSECITE WATER POLLt'TERS. Offers a Renard for Information That Will Lead to Arrests lews of V. A. W. Davis. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBCS, Ind., July 30. Z. T. Sweeney, State fish and game commissioner, has just returned to his home from a business trip to the northern part of the State and heard of the wholesale destruction of fish in White river, near Anderson, only yesterday. Mr. Sweeney says he has offered a reward of $100 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or corporation who is responsible for the pollution of the river at that point and that when the necessary information is obtained the prosecution will be vigorous and relentless. He further says he has investigated some twenty similar cases in the past and the the great trouble is to secure sufficient evidence to convict; that there is always abundant evidence of the commisaion of the crime, but to fasten it on the guilty person requires evidence of a character that has in the past been practically unobtainable. He further said that if Mr. Davis, of the Indianapolis Water Company, who is so free with his criticism of the fish commissioner, is sincere in wishing to give to the citisens of Indianapolis pure water he should lend his aid in securing evidence that will convict those guilty of polluting the water supply. Evidence la Accumulating. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., July 90. Deputy Fish and Oame Warden J. J. Bravey received a telegram from State Commissioner Z. T. Sweeney to-day that adds to the interest being tsken to apprehend the persons responsible for the recent pollution of White river. The message ran: "You are hereby authorized to offer a reward of $100 for the production of evidence that will convict parties for the recent pollution of White river." Constable Bravey now has accumulated quite an amount of evidence and the publication of this reward will, he thinks, bring out the additional evidence required. Prosecutor Vestal was at Muncie and Yorktown to-day. The latter official has become very much interested in the .case and is giving a great deal of time to its investigation and the preparation of suits that will be filed against persons believed to be responsible for the damage done. MR. DAVIS IS INDIOWM. Lssi on the Statute Books Are 'ot Enforced. He Says. P. A. W. Davis, of the Indianapolis Water Company, in commenting on the killing of fish in White river by pollution from the strawboard mills observes that it is doubtful whether the pollution of streams by strawboard companies dumping refuse into them is a violation of the law. He calls attention to a bill that was passed by the Legislature of 1901, which, he says, "actually legalises such outrages." This bill made it unlawful for any manufacturer to dump refuse into a stream except by written permission of the State Board of Health. Mr. Davis calls attention to another stream pollution bill that was passed about the same time. "This law is all right," said Mr. Davis yesterday, "as it is designed to prevent pollution and to protect the fish. But what is the law? Which of the two Is valid? And where do we stand? The pollution bill has no repealing clause, and has an emergency clause that legalises stream pollution. The other bill has no emergency clause and has a repealing clause." Mr. Davis declares these laws are nullified because the State Fish Commissioner does not do his duty and because the strawboard companies know that the Governor believes that a few strawboard factories that employ a few men and pay some taxes in Indiana are of more importance that pure water. Mr. Davis points out that Indianapolis is growing so large rhat sown driven wells cannot be relied on for sufficient water, and in cases of emergency the river will be the only source of supply. He also suggests that men and boys who go swimming in the river get this water, filled with disease, in their mouths. TEN BOUNDS TO A DRAW. Mackey and Ryan Pat Ip a (.od Flffht at Moutpelier.
