EXTRA SESSION TALK

There is reason to believe that as
soon as Governor Tunnel appoints his
new secretary of state. to succeed VIII
liam II. Boyce, who has been appointed
Judge, an extra session of the Legisla-
ture will be called to make some
changes in the laws, which have been
necessitated by the new Constitution.
When the new judges met in Dover
they talked over the new COnsti-
Dtution. and found that no provision had
been made for a meeting of the Su-
preme Court. If the court cannot meet
until next January, the first date pro-
vided by the new organic law, cases
will pile up. and there will be consider
able trouble in strengthening out mat
ters. What is true of the Supreme
Court is also said to be true Of the other
courts.

NINE MORE "COPPERS.'

Morning and Named the Men.
THEY WILL GO ON DUTY JULY ]
SIX OF THE NEW pATROLMEN
ARE DEMOCRATS AND THREE
REPUBLICANS-TO BE IN.
STRUCTED TONIGHT AND EX-
AHMED TOMORROW MORNING

There is gloom and disappointment
In the political circles OF Wilmington,
and more so in long-felt wishes OF
about eighty men who desired to be
patrolmen on the Wilmington police
force. Ever since the extras were
asked for there has been considerable
scheming and devising as to who would
be the lucky ones. It's all settled now
and those who were disappointed can
now wait until the proposed new char
ter passes when their applications will
probably be considered.
During the past week the plaza in
front of the City Hall has been the
stopping place for those having appli-
cations before the board and their
friends.
The commissioners held several
meetings, but there were so many ap-
plicants that it was hard task to Sc
lect the men wanted.
Henchmen of both parties were hard
at work drumming up interest for their
respective candidates. Figuratively
speaking. the police commissioners were
the most sought after men in town,
and everywhere they went they were
met with that some old adage: Favor
me by putting this man on"
1t was thought that the appoint
ments would be made last night and,
as usual, a large crowd of morbid office
hunters congregated in front Of the
City Hall and there awaited the re-
suits Of the boards meeting But the
board did not meet However. for the
benefit of the Afternoon newspapers,
the commission decided to meet this
morning, and make the appointments
The new patrolmen selected are: John
j. Fox, D.; Edward Hifron, D.; Harry
Pierce, D.; William Ward, D.. Frank
j. Mullin, D.; Michael Barr, d.; Sam
uel Allen, Jr., q. Robert Bowman, r.
James B. Tucker, r. The last named
was at one time acting-chief of police
under Chief Swiggett. The rest are al
new men, but the Police Commission
has had their applications for severa
years.
The new "coppers" were notified o
their appointment this afternoon, anC
will appear before the board tonight
They will be instructed as to what i!
expected of them, also as to the dutie.
of a patrolman.
The examination will take place 10
morrow morning before the board il
Chief of Police DOlan's Office. Policl
Surgeon Hughes will examine then
and see that they are bodily fitted 70
police work.
Should anyone of the men fail 4
pass the requirements, then anothe
will be selected instead.
The men will report for duty on Jul
l. Two Of the regular force Will b
appointed mounted police, and two bi
cycle police. Commissioner Lawson
said this morning that a new polio
district would be made this month AM
the now men assigned to duty in tn
unprotected parts of the city.

TURNKEY ANDREWS RESIGNS.

John Andrews, cOlored, the pardoned
murderer OF Sussex county, who served
as turnkey in the GEORGETOWN jail, has
resigned, and returned 20 his home, in
Milford Neck. In 1875 Andrews muir
dered his wife and was sentenced to
imprisonment for life. He soon won the
confidence Of the sheriffs and was ap-
pointed turnkey, and several years ago,
when he was pardoned, he was contin-
ued in that position The fact that a
murderer was guarding James NJ. Cor
dy. the wife slayer, who last week was
executed at Georgetown, caused cOnsid-
cradle bitterness, and il was threatened
that if Andrews was not removed he
would be treated the same as Gordy.
Sheriff Johnson stood by Andrews until
after the execution. but fearing that
there might yet be further trouble An
drews resigned.
