A CRUDE ORDINANCE.
New Fireworks Law Not Salts
factory TO COuncilmen.
1t is Particularly Hard on Dealers,
with Fines From $35 to 500,
While the User Goes Free.


At the meeting of Council last night
Mr.. Monaghan, chairman of the police
committee, introduced the ordinance
which is to prevent the use of dangerous
fireworks.
The ordinance has been changed
from what it was when it left the hands
of the police commission. The entire
body of Council has concussed on it and
the police committee has had two ses-
sions over it, but it is still in an unfin-
ished state and does not meet with the
approval OF all the members in its pres
ent shape
The ordinance makes it unlawful to
sell pistol, gun or revolver orEother
weapon to minor under 16yyears of age
and the penalty to be placed on the
offender is fine of not less than $25 and
not more than 500. There is as yet no
provision to punish the persons who ex-
plode tue dangerous fireworks.
The ordinance is especially aimed at
the sale OF pistols used for shooting blank
cartridges, which can also be used for
firing loaded cartridges.
The ordinance forbids the sale of tor
pedoes or fire caackers made of explo-
sives other than black or smokeless
powder.
The ordinance will prohibit torpedoes
or fire crackers which are larger in diam
eter than certain number of inches not
yet specified. The ordinance was read
twice and referred to the law committee
and city solicitor. 1t will no doubt be
greatly changed before it will be passed
finally.

DOLTER REPUBLICANS
REJECT OFFER Of
COMMON PRIMARIES
Issue Call For Convention and
Will Hold Primaries
on August 20.
SHERIFF TAYLOR NOTIFIED
Insurgent Chairman Ball Gives M
tice That the Boilers Will Have
Primaries in This County on
August 20 and Convention
the Next Day.

The organization of bolter Republicans
in this State have apparently decided to
reject the offer of common primary ex.
tended by the Union Republican party.
Late yesterday afternoon Chairman L.
H. Ball of the boilers county committee
notified Sheriff John E. Taylor that the
bolters wanted the registration books for
primaries to be held by the so-caled
Regular Republican party in New Castle
county on Monday, August 20.
At the same time Chairman Phillip @.
Churchman OF the insurgent State COM
mittee issued a call for State conven-
tion OF boilers to be held at Dover on
Tuesday, August 81. Chairman Church.
man could not be found last evening and
an effort to get an interview with the in.
sugent leader proved fruitless.
BY the action OF Chairman Ball it may
easily be seen that the du Pont Republi-
cans have rejected the offer OF common
primary made by the Union Republicans
before and at the National Convention.
They propose to decline any proposition
of unity. The primaries OF the Union
Republican party are to be held on
August % and the convention at Dover
on the day following, August 90. All Re.
publicans in the STATE are invited to par
ticipate in the Union Republican prim.
cries. In making this invitation the
Union Republican State Committee acted
on the advice of National Chairman
Hanna. Later their action was approve
by the Republican National Convention
held in Philadelphia.
A large majority of the so.called
Regulars in New Castle county desire
common primaries. The leaders had
been requested to join the Union Repub-
licans in the primaries. They maintain
the same obstinacy exhibited before the
National Republican Committee and
since Monday of this week have been
making preparations to call bolter Re
publican State Convention.
On Wednesday evening Postmaster
Hugh q. Browne who, despite the fact
that he has been supplanted by P. @
Churchman, held conference with
Secretary Frank A. McCloskey at the
headquarters OF the Department of EIet-
tions. The arrangements for getting the
registration books were discussed. Yes.
terday the refut of the conference ap-
peared in the notification received by
Sheriff Taylor to deliver the books to the
boter county organization ON Monday,
August 20.
The last day for registration which
will make voter eligible to vote at the
primaries will be August IS. Thus the
boiling Republicans have endeavored to
hold their State copRntion two DAYS
prior to the Union Republican State con-
yention,

crept through the transom opening and
dropped to the fl Jor inside.
The men attacked the SAFE with chisels
and made strenuous { f )rt to force open

The safe doors withstood the attack
however and the men w.ie either afraid
to use dynamite or were frightened Uff
