But They Are a Menace to Health and
Property and Must Como Down.
For the last quarter of century and
over the row OF frame shanties on the
south side of Fifth street, between Tat.
nall and Orange streets, have been an
eyesore to citizens who take pride In
this beautiful city, aud a menace TO pub
iic health and safety. The
seven houses, which are occupied by
colored families, are mere shells,
great los Of property and possibly Of
life would follow. Back Ia the sixties
they were complained OF and efforts
made to have them removed, but they
have survived opposition and braved
criticism until now, when a fair chance
exists for their demolition. In addition
to their being Gre traps and disease
breeders, they have been the cause Of
serious deterioration Of surrounding
property, as any thinking person can
readily see
Building Inspector Dohl has decided
that they are unsafe and has ordered
them torn down within thirty days, and
unless the City Council interferes, this
will be done To an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter Mr. Dohl sald They may be
land marks all right but they are very
dangerous as regards fire and must come
down. They are also dangerous in the
event Of disease visiting Wilmington,
and then they are q disgrace to the city,

Havemeyor and John r. Soarles OF the
Sugar trust and Allan I. Seymour Of tho
stock Brokerage firm Of Seymour " Young
for refusal 60 answer questions put to
them by the senate Sugar trust investigat-
ing committee.
The indictments against Havemeyer and
Searles each cover 2s pages Of large typo
written sheets Tho history OF the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill Is rehoarsed in
the contonts The indictments differ some
what from the others from the fact that
the pertinency OF the questions Is some
what further removed, and that two mem
bors Of tho investigating committee held
that the questions which Hnvemeyer and
Searlos refused to answer were not perti-
nent.
The questions requested tho specific
amounts contributed in the different states
to campaign funds, and one point urged
was that these contributions were not tc
national campaign funds. New indict.
munts against Messrs. J. W. Mccartney OF
Washington and e. X. Chapman n New
York were made for tho purpose Of cor.
recting the wording Of the former indict
ments.
