WARM WORDS OF PRAISE.

Marcus Hook Bound to Take Front Rank
in the oil shipping tTrade-rhe Ad-
vantages as Seen BY British Captain.
The British steamer Luclgsn, Captain
Brown, cleared this morning for Dover,
England, with one Of the largest cRrgoes
of crude petroleum ever carried out
of this port, 1,560,2 225 gallons, valued
At GAG, S07. In conversation with
an EVENING JOURNAL reporter, Captain
Brown said. This port Is, to my way Of
thinking, destined to become the leading
port for the shipment of oil in this
country. In the frstiplscs the facilities for
loading cannot be beaten. The wharves are
easily gotten at, and in the event of fire
or any other accident it is very easy to
drop out In the stream and anchor out
of harms way. Then In Winter time
the Ice jams in the horseshoe are avoided
and little il any delay is experienced from
that cause.

sistants are courteous, kind and gentle.

willing to assist me. l shall certainly
make this my point Of entry and shall
advise others to do the same. There is
only one inconvenience and that Is having
to 60 to Philadelphia to see the consul,
but think that could be easily avoided
by establishing consulate ..or consular
Office In Wilmington. l think your city
admirably located both asa ship building
and shipping point..if only the facilities
fer entering it were better"

WHO SHOULD OWH THE DOCKS ?
The City of Tacoma, Washington, Toying
60 Solve the Problem of Riparian
Ownership.

The City of Tacoma, Washington, Toying
TO Solve the Problem of Riparian
Ownership.
Mayor Shortlidge yesterday received a
letter from Tacoma, Wash asking for
information relative to the ownership OF
wharves and docks In this state. The
situation as II exists In thRt city Is as
follows: The hRrbor of Tacoma, as Is
known by all who have ever visited the
beautiful city on the sound, IL one OF the
finest on the western slope. Prior to the
entrance of Washington Territory into
stateship the wharves and docks were In
the hands Of private corporations which
made extensive improvements and had a
monopoly Of the water front. A harbor
commission was appointed and har
Dor lines drawn which took In
q part Of these improvements Be-
fore these lines were approved
the commission was removed and a new
one appointed. New lines were drawn
and these took In all OF the improve
ments, the state claiming riparian rights
on all beyond these lines. In the mean
while the United States Supreme Court
decided that the lines drawn by the FIRST
commission were just and must stand,
and the city, on the strength of this
decision. began suits against the owners
Of the improved property outside the
lines. These companies or corporations
are engaged in trying to effect compro-
mise by which the city will drop It's suits
on condition OF receiving valuable what Z.
age concessions. The Tacoma News is
lighting this and Is collecting data from
all over the country.
Mayor Shortlldge laid the communi-
cation before the Street and Sewer De-
psrtment last evening and asked for In
formation relative TO 1t.
Colonel Moore, who is probably as we'll
posted on this question rs any man In
Wilmington, said that In New Jersey an

mark be moved further out In the stream

singular condition of affairs WAS cited.

lines, the two streets would cross at
right angles leaving a triangular piece OF
land, the ownership of which would be In

a possibility Of the question requiring q

HIS PLEA SUCCESSFUL.

Captain Kane Warns the Boys of School
No. 4 That They Can Have Fun But Must
Obey the Law-Battles nIulcted In Fine.
Considerable complaint has been re-
ceived by the police authorities to the
effect that the boys of Nc. school in
suited women and acted In a manner not
sanctioned in polite society. Captain
Kane took the matter under sdvisement.
The good looking captain is considerable
OF boy himself and has 3 large space In
bis heart for the rising generation. and
he decided that the fault. II any, lay
with the heads and not the hearts of the
lads. so he determined to use a
little moral sussion. Yesterday afternoon
he visited No. 4 and made brief but
pointed address to the boys OF each room.
BE told them that the police did not
intend to curtail any of their privileges,
and wanted them to get all the fun out
OF their boyhood days that was possible,
but there we're certain things they could
not do without violating the law and
those things they must avoid. II com
plants continue to come In. arrests
would necessarily follow. 1t is safe to
say that the words took effect and the
admonition will be observed.
Only two tranHgrsssors Of the law
made their obelsanco to Judge Ball In
Municipal Court this morning. One was

advising him to steer right for Chester.

WILMINGTON SHIPPlHG-MEH OBJECT.

Among the Leading Protestants at the
Meeting Of Philadelphia Port wardens
on the New Bridge Across the Della
ware.
There was protest after protest before
the Philadelphia Board of Port Wardens'
special committee yesterday on the
Pennsylvania railroads proposed bridge
across the Delaware river Just above
Philadelphia The present plans now
give the bridge height of only fifty feet
above high wster. Up river residents
objected because such a bridge would
seriously interfere with navigation. The
stacks OF the steamboats, and the masts
OF pleasure yachts they argued, were too
high TO permit free passage, and as the
draw would have to be used, traffic would
be interfered with.
Captain F. G. Edwards, of the Upper
Delaware Steamboat Company, and
Captain Wilson, of the Wilmington
Steamboat Company. spoke In favor Of q
higher bridge, and stated that In thick
weather 1t would be unsafe to attempt to
use the present channel, owing to the
location Of the piers The greatest OBJ
lection to the bridge was the possibility
that 1t would depreciate the value Of
property above its site, unless it was
built sufficiently high to accommodate all
the craft using the channel.
Thomas Benson, of the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company, Of this city,
when interrogsted regarding the feaslbil.
ity Of "telescoping" the stacks Of
steamers, said 1t could be done, at cost
Of about $400 apiece.
General Agent LAtta and William Dixey
represented the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mr.. Latta said that it would not be prac
tic1ble for the railroad to operate trains
II the bridge should be built higher than
fifty feet, On the Pennsylvania side
there are sharp angles and junction
points In the approach to,ths bridge, that
would not admit of higher grade, and
on the New Jersey eide the engineers
have given the opinion that the grade Is
just as high as 1t is possible to 90. he
spoke of the pettiness of the objections
to the bridge, compared to the immensity
and Importance Of the work. To raise
the structure but Eve feet, he said, would
cost as much as would buy all the boats
that ply on the upper Delaware.
