Another postponement in the action
on the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's proposed elevated tracks
through this city was made by the
Street and Sewer Directors at their
meeting this morning.
When the subject was brought up,
City Solicitor David J. Reinhardt ap-
peared before the board and said THAT
a.tohugh he had not as yet prepared an
opinion on the amended resolution as
presented by the railroad company, he
had several suggestions regarding the
subject which he desired to lay before
the board.
Continuing Mr.. Reinhardt said that
he had expected John Biggs, attorney
for the company, to be present at to-
days meeting in order that he might
confer with the department on the sub
iect. and that he had already handed
to Mr.. Biggs a copy of his suggestions,
AS Mr. Biggs was not present, Mr.
Reinhardt suggested that action had
best be postponed until a conference
between the officials. himself and the
attorney could be held.
Acting upon this suggestion, the di-
rectors agreed to meet Messrs. Rein
hardt and Biggs, the engineer OF tho
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
City Engineer Boughmann. on Friday
afternoon at o'clock and discuss the
City Solicitors suggestions If at that
time an agreemen is reached, an amend
merit will be framed and the resolu
tion will be presented at next Tuesday

communication was received from tn
Harlan and Hcllingsworth Compan
obiecting to the proposed elevation 3
fourteen feet. In the company's origina
objection it desired That the elevatlo
should not be less than eighteen feet
| To-day, however, 1T agreed to accept al
elevation of fifteen feet.
In speaking on the subject. MI
Reinhardt said that he had no inten
ton of delaying any action, nor did III
believe the Street and Sewer Depart
ment had. 1t was a serious question
however, and one that required deel
consideration. He did not believe tina
such a franchise should be granite,
hurriedly, thereby leaving a loop-hol
which might prove detrimental to TIN
city's Interest in the future.

CONSUMERS co.
BOWLED OUT
Street and Sewer Directors
Refuse Desired Franchise
An INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT
]. Edward AddiCkS Is Said to be
Behind the Proposed
Scheme

Directors OF the Street and Sewer
Department today administered
Knockout blow to the Consumers Pro
duction and Supply Company, when
they indefinitely postponed action on
the subject OF granting franchise to
tine concern.
Some weeks ago the Consumers Com
pany applied to the department for per-
mission to open all streets. alleys and
lanes in Wilmington for the purpose of
laying conduits, pipes and mains for
conducting heat and oil, electricity, etc.
and also to erect poles and string
wires thereon. After two readings the
resolution was referred for future ac-
tom
RuMoRs AFLoAT
In the meantime persistent rumors
were TO the effect that J. Edward Adj
dicks was directely interested in the
Consumers Company, and by this
means hoped to be able to enter the
cay with lhis gas scheme. This suppo-
sitiom was strengthened by the cou-
tionary notice regarding THE Whining
| ton Coal Gas Company, which appear
ed In the Addicks organ and in sew
eral Philadelphia papers over Addicks'
signature.
An investigation disclosed THAT a
rrenton concern was behind IL. Wheth-
er Addiclls was connected in any way
with The latter company could not be
learned.
When THE subject was brought up at
today's meeting Of the directors THE
resolution was given Third reading by
Secretary Harvey J. Wiley Upon the
conclusion Of the reading. Mr.. Carter
moved THAT the resolution be indefi-
nilely postponed. AS no opposition was
/ made by either Directors Webster and
Fahey, the motion prevailed.
John r. Dickey, president Of the Con-
sumers' Company, attended the meet
ing and was apparently much sur.
prsed ait the peremptory manner in
which the resolution was disposed Of
From present appearances it seems
evident thnt ii Mr.. AddiclSs was direct

HOW TO LEARN TO FLOAT.
Malcolm w. Ford Gives Few Pointers
REGARDING Swimming.

HeQdTuiny swimming
Malcolm w. Ford, ex-all-around
champion athlete of America, was one
of the best amateur swimmers in the
country in his time, and he gives
some timely advice to athletes and
swimmers in the New York Mail and
Express: At this season of the year
there is always a great deal said about
swimming and the causes of drowning
and opinions of expert swimmers are
eagerly read Much advice is given
like this: IF fatigue come over you
while in the water lie on your back,
put your hands under your head and
float. DO not mind il you sink, for IL
you keep your wits about you and
don't swallow water you will come up
again, and after sinking several times
your body will obtain a balance and
stay three-quarters submerged, with
enough of the face exposed to make
breathing easy
Throughout my athletic life ! have
had occasion to teach fully 80 people
of both sexes how to swim, but
never succeeded in instilling enough
confidence to enable one to float. The
proposition Of turning over on ones
back, lying there, sinking a few times,
and at last getting a balance is very
pretty, but | have never seen a person
do It in just that way, and in the last
| 20 years have seen hundreds try. |
cannot remember when ! learned to
swim, but well remember the time Of
making up my mind that | would learn
to float. Those same lines, turn over
on your back, sink few times" etc,
looked just as attractive 20 years ago
as they do now, but in learning the
game If | sank once went down so
times in two weeks was trying. I had
TO recuperate after each trial on ac.
| count of water running down the nose
and making necessary long intervals
between attempts.
In about every other feat in the
water the position or exercise is such
that water is not encouraged to go
through the nose because of the law
of gravitation, but when floating the
water has fine chance to run down
hill up the nose Those who can
float do not mind this on account of be-
ing so much at home in the position
that they act instinctively in managing
their breathing to keep the water out
Of the nostrils for just the moment or
two wave is washing over their
heads. But IL is not so with the be-
ginner, and plenty OF plucky men and
women have given up in despair the
attempt to learn the mysterious
balance" Floating is purely a mat
ter Of confidence, for there Is no ex-
ercise in II. II person can swim
ordinarily well and has ordinary cour.
age he or she can learn to float in no
easier way by following the yearly
public advice Of turning over on ones
back and sinking a few times. but !
will add this: Let the beginner first
stuff his nostrils with cotton. STUFF
them so that they are water-tlght, not
enough hough, to strain them and
cause soreness. Be sure and use one

piece, so that no small piece will be
forced In too far to be gotten out
again. This is the way learned, and
when first equipped in this fashion
sank with feeling of security. Not
drop of water got inside, and the re-
suit was that | experienced a sensa-
ton that had never before come to me.
| could feel my sinking body slow up
and hold its own about two and half
or three feet below the surface and

and that my face was out of the water.

before my body would hardly go un.

MORE CITY OWNERSHIP.
Two Rivers to Have Municipal Water.
Works and Light Plant.

Two Rivers, Wis, Jan. ia con-
tract was let yesterday for city wat
erworks and electric light plant to the
F. T. Miller company of Chicago. This
is the second time a contract has been
let, the former bidder, G. A. Ingle-
hardt & Co., failing to live up to the
entire agreement, thereby FORGETTING
their franchise. The contract calls for
thirty-eight arc lights and forty-seven
hydrants at $50 each for twenty-five
years. The contract stipulates, how
ever, that not more than $4,000 is to
be spent in any one year.
At the end of the twenty-five years
the entire plant, which is to be located
at the foot of Washington street, near
the lage front, is to become the prop
erty of the city. The city municipal
plant has caused much talk and con-
siderable hard work, and the outcome
is being watched by many of the cities
in the state.
