WASHINGTON, April 11.-Colonel
Phil Thompson resumed his speech for
the defence in the Pollard Breckinridge
case, this morning, and closed with an
appeal TO the jury to return verdict
according to the law and the testimony,
Then Major Ben Butterworth arose
to make the closing argument for MIR.
Breckenridge, and in his opening re-
marks said he had known the defend
ant "as statesman, soldier, father, hus-
band and friend, and you may speed it
on the lightnings that to whom Ben
Butterworth was friend in the days of
his prosperity he will not turn his back
upon in adversely" This statement
was followed by an outbreak of applause
from the spectators,
Judge Bradley leaned forward and
raped his desk. "Now you may clear
the courtroom" he said to the bailiffs
1--WE have had enough of outrages in
this courtroom"
No one stirred and then Judge Brad
ley said, "every one who is not men,
Der of the bar will leave the courtroom.
Several men got up and started out,
when enc elderly spectator inquired:

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
BALTIMORE, MD., April 11.-Mr.
Severn Teackle Wallis, one of Mary.
lands most distinguished men, died al
1920 o'clock this morning, Of Bright's
disease.
Mr.. Wallis was born in Baltimore,
September 9Th, 1916. His parents were
from the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and were descended from the earliest
settlers of this State and Virginia.
In the autumn of 1889 he entered the
Office of William Writ in Baltimore as a
student of law. In 1847 Mr.. Wallis
visited Spain and in 1949 he was sent to
Madrid by the United States govern
ment to examine the title to the public
lands in East Florida, as they were
effected by royal patents made in the
course of the negotiations of the treaty
of 1919.
Mr.. Wallis was in his early political
life Wing. He became Democrat
when the American or Know-Nothing
party was organized, and cast his first
Democratic vote for James Buchanan
for President Mr.. Buchanan offered
Mr.. Wallis the district attorneyship IN
1867, but it was declined.
Mr.. Wallis appeared in public life
Dnly occasionally in later years. His
interest in politics caused him to speak
from the reform platform when party
spirit ran high, even though his frail
health warned him to remain at home.
On these occasions his thoughtful elo-
quence and his keep sarcasm were pow
erful weapons.
He labored in 1869 for the freedom of
the ballot box, then controlled by the
Know.Nothing party.
After the attack on Massachusetts,
regiment, on the 10th of April, 1861, in
Baltimore, he was q speaker at a mass
meeting in Monument Square to de-
nOunce the attack. He was sent to the
House of Delegates and took leading
part in the proceedings of the Maryland
Legislature of that year, in Frederick.
Mr.. Wallis was made chairman of the
committee on Federal relations. He
wrote the memorable reports of the COM
mittee, which took strong grounds
against the then prevalent doctrine of
military necessity. The Legislature was
suppressed by military force in Septem-
Der of that year, and Mr.. Wallis was
arrested, with many of its members and
other prominent citizens Of the State,
and was imprisoned for more than Ia
months in Forts Mcllonry, Monroe,
Lafayette and Warren.
No charge was made against him
before the government, and having
steadfastly insisted ON being either law
FULLY tried or discharged, he was finally
released in November, 1869, without
conditions and without having been in.
formed of the cause of his arrest. He
hen returned to the practice of law in
this city.

oBJEoTISG TO TURNpIK q AWARDS
II rs the City Now That Would Like to
Get the Concessions for Nothing-Pre-
cedent is the Basis.

1t is the City Now That Would Like to
Get the Concessions for Nothine-Pre-
cedent is the Basis.
An unexpected turn has developed in
regard to the turnpike awards. 1t is
understood that now it is the city that
objects to paying the amounts sent in
by the commission. The first impress
sion was that the city authorities were
very well satisfied over what was con
sidered fair award in the direction of
the city, and further that the dissatisfied
parties are the turnpike owners alone.
1t Will be remembered that the Will
mington and Great Valley (the Concord
pike asked for $1,000 and was con.
coded $3,000; that the Philadelphia pike
asked for $4,000 and was conceded
about $4,000. The attorneys for the two
corporations vigorously criticised the
commissioners damages as entirely in
adequate, and that City Solicitor Elliott
was greatly pleased at the result
The reason for the change in the lat
ter's position is the discovery that other
turnplkes gave up their rights free to
the city ON the general plea of public
policy, II is believed that no such SEN
tlment as this inspires the present con-
tSSeih5 tulhplhS OWueTs. lQey assert
their charter rights and the privilege,
should they so desire, of closing the
gates along their roads within the city.
The Lancaster pike, as the records
show, was obliged to give up It's rights
without compensation from the city.
The charter was revoked by the GEN
eral Assembly in 1877.
In 1888 the section of the Christiana
turnpike within the city limits was va
Gated by General Assembly enactment.
This, it is alleged, was done ON the petit
ton OF the turnpike owners themselves
on the grounds that public interests
would thereby be better served. 1t de-
veloped that the stockholders of the
turnpike did not lose much following
the improvement that ensued.
The Kennett turnpike also, so far as
it was within the city limits, was vacated
by legislative enactment of 1866. These
facts form the basis of the new position
OF the city authorities. 1t is asserted
that the turnpike just condemned are
worth no more than those surrendered
to the city in past times, and also that
the Improvements requisite in trans
forming the pixies will be very costly to
the city.

liberation of the board II was decided to
appoint two inspectors, whose duty it
shall be to patrol the banks of the
Brandywine from Market street bridge
to the city line and see to it that there
is no pollution of the stream from any
source. The inspectors will make their
reports to the chief engineer, and any
persons found violating the ordinance
by dumping refuse or sewage into the
Brandywine will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.
This action was taken with view to
securing pure drinking water and to
preventany contamination of the stream
over which the city of Wilmington has
control.
At the meeting the chief engineer was
authorized to lay water pipes on the
new Gilpin avenue. City Auditor Bill
