THE OFFICE SUSTAINED.
GRAND ARMY COMMITTEE FOUND
LITTLE TO cRlTlciSE.

MANY SPECIFIC CASES WERE EX-
AHMED AND THEY DISCLOSED
NO FOUNDATION FOR THE AT
TACK ON THE PENSION BU-
REAU.
Many Wilmington G. A. Il. men who
have been watching the progress OF
the Pension Commission Of the Grand
Army of the Republic in its inquiry
into the works Of the Pension Bureau,
at Washington, will be interested to
know the result Of the investigation.
The committee was in Washington
three days. and during most Of the
time has been accompanied by Senior
Commander-in-Chi Johnson. Com
missioner OF Pensions Evans and a
corps Of the most experienced em-
ployes OF the bureau have given the
most thorough cooperation to the
committee, placing themselves and all
the officials files at its disposal. Head

and for an hour and a-half we're en-
gagged In conference with Presiden

made both by the interior Department
and the Pension Bureau for their exc
cution and changes desired in the in
terest of the government and OF the
pensioners Tho president paid un
usual attention TO the delegation, an,
gave free expression to his views OF
the subject.
Later the body returned to the Pen
sion Bureau. where they spent most o
the afternoon talking over matters in
/ formally with the commissioner. Al
the old soldiers and soldiers widow
employed in the Office were called TO
gether to meet the committee, befor
whom they passed in line and ex

STORAGE BATTERY TESTED.

CITY ELECTRIC
COMPANY TRYING ITS NEW AP-
PARATUS.
The Wilmington City Electric Com
pany some time ago placed in its plant
"a large storage battery, which is now
being tested. The battery is the larg-
est ever in the city. and is designed
to save current
The surplus current is taken up by
the battery when there is not a full
load on the plant and stored until
needed. This makes a considerable
saving in current, as there is generally
more or less loss. The system stores
enough electricity when filled to run
the entire plant Of the company for one
hour under the heaviest work, and fol
three hours under an ordinary load.

stopping to investigate the cause a
negro shot out Of the crowd and started

suit, but was handicapped on account
of his clothing. After the negro go
into the cellar he ran up the stairs t

BURGLARY AT HOCKESSIN
cOLoRED MEN ENTER A STORE
5Y THE BORING PROCESS.
A MAN ASLEEP IN A ROOM ABOVE
WAS NOT AWAKENED BY THEIR
ENTRANCE-BUT LITTLE BOOTY
WAS OBTAINED.

Sometime last night the store Of
John Gormley, at Hockessin, was
broken into by burglars. II is sup
posed that the work was done by some
strange colored men who have been
noticed around the neighborhood for
several days.
There is a coal oil lamp kept burn
ing in front of the store all night. The
burglars first extinguished this lamp
and then bored forty-one holes around
the lower right hand panel of the
door. They succeeded in breaking out
the panel and entering the store. Sc
far only about a dollar in change and
a revolver have been missed. It is pre-
sumed that they secured some gro
ceries. A man was asleep in a room
above the store. but heard nothing
during the night. AS yet the authori'
ties have not been able to locate the
strange men seen in the neighborhoot
prior to the burglary.

Oxy-Hydrogen Engrosses At
tention of Chancellor.
FIGHT FOR STREET PRIVILEGES

THE RULE IN THE ADAMS TAX
LAW CASE HAS BEEN coNTIN-
UED UNTIL SEPTEMBER TERN
OF COURT. WHEN IT WILL BE
TAKEN UP.
Chancellor Nicholson yesterday af-
ternoon heard further argument in the
case of the Mayor and Council vs.. the
'Oxy-Hydrogen Company and j. Ed
ward Addicks.
William S. Hilles. one OF the attor-
neys for the city, read an affidavit
made by President Simmons. OF the
Street and Sewer Department. Similar
affldavits were made by the other mem
bers Of the department. Mr.. Simmons
stated that for the past ten years the
department had made a persistent ei-
fort to have the streets placed and
kept in condition for public travel.
Large sums Of money have been paid,
and are still being expended to keep
the streets in repair. The threatened
tearing up Of the streets will be detri-
mental to the public good. as it would
Subject them 10 the danger OF contract
ing disease. 1t would also interfere
with and interrupt public travel He
further state1 that the company never
made application to this board until
within few weeks ago. and had never
obtained the assent Of the department
to go ahead with the work.
The answer to the bill OF complaint
was read by c. Berkeley Taylor. one OF
the counsel for the Oxy-Hydrogen Com
pany. He said the charter was a con-
tract with the state. II authorized the
company to lay its pipes in the streets.
The Legislature OF the state OF the city
Of Wilmington could not stop him
from laying the pipes. Under the char
ter. he claimed, the company had the
right to enter the streets without the
consent OF the Street and Sewer Do
partment In speaking OF the contract
with Mr.. Addicks, Mr.. Taylor said Mr.
Addicks, in consideration OF 5000 600
of per cent. bonds and 100000 at BAR
OF the common stock of the company.
offered TO build a gas plant. and lay
ten miles Of pipes, 500 services and
meters. and restore the streets in good
condition. The gas tank was erected
on the marsh. and work was in pro-
lgress on Liberty street, when the origi-
nal injunction was issued. Mr.. Hilles
and Arthur W. spruance argued that
the city's power over the streets takes
precedence over the power granted the
gas company.
II. II. Ward, for the company, COM
batted this, and said that the city was
"a creation OF the Legislature, and could
be controlled by it. The argument
was not concluded.
The rule in the proceeding Of the
Equitable Guarantee and Trust Com
lpany VS.. John p. Donahoe, collector un-
der the Adams tax law. was continued
until September for argument.
