THE HUMANE WORKERS
The Supervision Scheme is
Meeting With Opposition.
AMAIeAMATIOE MOVE ABANDONED

The Humane Society Wants to Supervise
the Work OF tho S. p. G. c. aud S. +.
Q. A.-Attorney George t. Brown Says
He Thinks a New Society Absolutely
Worthless.
The feeling among the members Of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children and Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals Is now 40 a fever
heat on the questioH Of the organization
OF third society TO ba known as the
Humane Society. 10 Is proposed thrt
the new society shall have control OF the
work Of the other two societies
The members Of the societies. more
than year ago, voted on tho question
OF the amalgamation. The vote WIS
favorable 10 IL, but when the matter was
referred TO the attorneys II was found
that there were legal difficulties In the
way The question arose as TO what would
become OF certain legacies bequeathed or
which might be bequeathed TO either of
the old societies. Further than that IL
was held that the present code OF penal
statutes, under which the societies
worked had been made perfect only by
years OF study and attention and tho
amalgamation would involve the code.
Then Henry T. Cause. perhaps the
most prominent member of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren. proposed that, instead of amalgama
tion. third society. TO be known as the
Humane Society, be organized,
with no powers Whatever for
the prosecution OF crimes but with the
power to supervise. control and direct
the actions Of the other two societies
This is the proposition in controversy
now Mr.. Cause believes that 10 is for the
BEST interest OF the work of the societies,
but there are many members who differ,
aud say that the third society will prove
useless as IL will serve 10 make the work
more complex instead Of simplifying it
At meeting held a month ago for the
purpose OF making decision an adjourn
ment was had until yesterday, at which
time, by direction Of the president, tho
meeting was adjourned for another term
Of about two weeks or this meeting all
the members will be notified. The profit

Market street rooms Of the Society for

An EVENING journal reporter called
upon George T. Brown this morning
He is the legal adviser of the Society for

John w. Pennington. Newark sad.
dler, came to Wilmington yesterday.
He wore bias sinister look, trimmed
with expectation OF legal redress and
outraged property rights passamenterie
He was looking for a suit Not one Of
cheviot. tweed, or anything Of that kind,
but a slmon-pure law suit. trimmed with
retainer, lawyer narr costs and every
thing of that kind.
Pennington lives on Main street In the
Athens Of Delaware His next door
neighbor Is James Lewis. Nothing but
an tight-foot lane and hard feelings is be
tween them. The property occupied by
James Lewis Is owned by John Il Lewis
The stables are In the rear Of the Lewis
house.
For some time there has been a wraDgle
concerning the ownership OF the lane.
Pennington claimed 10 as his property
but conceded Lewis one half Of the hard
feelings. This did not satisfy Lewis
He claimed the right OF way up the lane.
Pennington began looking for trouble
He had plans and specifications prepared
for gate and awarded the contract 70 a
local builder. Then he invested a small
sum Of money In a paddock
One bright morning this week Lewis
awoke from his troubled slumbers and
found that the saddler had had the lane
closed with gate, and was carrying the
key In his pocket To make matters
worse he was humming,
"Only as far az the gate, mamma"
Lewiss horses we're In the stable He
wanted TO get them out and did not
want to lead them through his house.
He consulted John e. Lewis, the owner
Of the property The latter repaired to
the scene and ordered James +. to break
down the gate. James Z did so. against
tho protest Of Pennington. Il Is TO this
circumstance that Wilmington owes the
visit Of Pennington yesterday.
