REVISED POLICE REGULATIONS.
New Compilation VIII Shortly He Dis
trfbuted.

The committee appointed by the District
Commissioners to revise the police reguia-
tions has about completed it's labors. and
the manuscript of the new issue will be
submitted within the next two or three
days. Their early approval is expected and
the regulations will be published at very
early date Maj. Richard Sylvester, the
superintendent of police. recently called the
attention of the Commissioners officially to
the fact that the department did not have
copies of regulations to distribute to new
members of the force. The regulations
would have been printed some time ago. II
is stated, but for the fact that there was
no money for the purpose under the old ap-
preparations, and the Commissioners were
forced to await the beginning of the new
fiscal year
Messrs. Daniel Curry and Francis Nye.
They have made as careful revision of the
regulations as possible. The original text
has been changed wherever 1t was deemed
necessary to eliminate surpluSage and to
correct grammatical and technical errors.
A number of the sections have been trans
posed in order to place them under more
appropriate heads. All of the numerous
amendments to the regulations which have
been ordered by Congress and the Com
miSsionerS since the publication of the pre-
viouS edition have been included In the
present compilation.
Numerous acts of the legislative assembly
which have become obsolete and which
have been superseded by more recent legls-
lation have been dropped out of the pro-
posed new edition. The old regulations con-
tained nothing in regard to the carrying Of
concealed weapons. The committee Of re-
vision has added to the regulations the acts
Of Congress prohibiting the carrying OF
dangerous or concealed weapons and the
law regulating the sale of such weapons.
The committee has also embodied in enc
chapter all of the regulations which relate
to-, IN hn.n
space.
The new compilation has been approved
by ]. L. Pugh. jr., the assistant attorney
for the District, to whom it was officially

Consul General Stowe Resigns.

The resignation of James G. Stowe,
United States consul general to Cape Town,
has been received at the State Department.
The resignation was based on the alleged
inadequacy of the salary of the post. The
cost of living in South Africa under nor
NAL condition. is exceedingly high, and
in time Of war, such as has prevailed for
the past two years, the 5000 salary al
lowed by Congress for the United States
consul general, 1t Is said, would not de-
fray the cost of maintaining a family in
modest conditions at Cape Town. Mr..
Stowe was appointed from Kansas City,

ADDICKS WILL NOT WITHDRAW.
UniOn Republican Leaders Deny Statement
Concerning the Withdrawal of ]. Edward
Addicks From Senatorial Fight.

Says the Philadelphia Record: The |
Union Republican leaders of lower
Delaware deny that there is anything |
contemplated in the Union Republican |
reunion at the Atlantic Hotel, Reho-
both, next Sunday, that will look
toward the withdrawal Of John Edward
Addicks from the Senatorial fight in
Delaware.
All the principal Kent and Sussex
County leaders, who have done so
much toward Mr.. Addicks' success in
his senatorial canvass declare that 30
long as they are able to work at the
elections and Legislatures in Delaware
no man, Democrat, or Republican,
should sit in the United States Senate
as a representative of Delaware until
Mr.. Addicks did. "Can we make it
stronger?" they added.
State Senator ]. Frank Alice, Union
Republican State Chairman, who has
travelled with Mr.. Addicks all summer,
said:
cit is the most ridiculous nonsense /
ever heard of to say that the Union
Republicans of Delaware were going
to consent to Mr.. Addicks' withdrawal
and recommend that their legislators
elect Governor Hum and Regular.
Why we simply regard it as the oppo-
sition's campaign powder. Do you
think sensible men are going to cut
down their fruit trees just when they
begin to bear fruit?"
The Union Republicans expect to
plan vigorous ca~paign at Rehoboth
during their reunion, and every leader
of every district has been urged to at.
tend. They are organizing to make
sure of the election of 35 Republicans
to the next General Assembly who will
, vote for Mr.. Addicks first for the
| United States Senate.
In Kent County an attempt will b'
made to gain two more Assemblymen-
one Senator and one Representative :
t practically insuring the election Of Mr.
Addicks to the Senate, il all the othe
Addicks men are reelected.
s The Addicks men have already urge,
: DIR. Thomas G. Moore, the Smyrn
leader; to run for Senator to succee
Stephen Slaughter, Democrat, OF Dover
It is believed among politicians i
! Dover that the Democrats propose t
run DIR. E. F. O'DaY, former Assem-
u blyman from Little Greek, as Dl
Moore's opponent. He is one of til
n cleanest and sLrewdest politicians
i the Democratic camp.
