BOYS WERE SUSPICIOUS.
Feared Their Rights Would be In
terfered With.

Just previous to the Spanish-American
war number of small boys In order to
show their patriotism collected money,
purchased a large flag, and erected a
pole on the lot at Fourth and Rodney
streets. This Is the lot that has been
selected by the Broome Street Heights
Association upon which they will hold
their Fourth of July demonstration, but
these young Americans fearing that
their rights were to be imposed upon
yesterday began to erect fence around
their plot in order that they thus might
not be prevented from holding their
demonstration in their own fashion.
The attention Of DR.. Bradley, chair
man of the association, being called to
the matter he took the necessary steps
to secure an interview with the leaders
of the boys and after assuring them that
their rights would not be interfered with
and that every effort would be made to
assist rather than interfere with them,
the boys desisted and thus both associa-
tons will hold their demonstration with.
out one trangressing upon the other.

Delaware federal OF. icers.

Washington, D. c., June 20. Rep
resentative Ball, of Delaware, was
at the White House to-day to dis
cuss the appointment Of a collector
Of Customs at Wilmington. He is
seeking some way out of the dead
lock between the Addicks and anti.
Addicks forces, each Of which has
a candidate for the office, Mr.. Ad-
dicks has recommended Colonel
Barnard, while Mr.. Ball wants
some one else appointed to succeed
Mr.. Cooper. present Collector, who
has been in office since 1897.
Other Federal appointments in
Delaware were also taken up, with
a view to asolution Of the difficulties
which are confronting the Republl-
cans in that State. It is not i'm
probable that compromise will be
effected by which each faction will
get a share of the offices.

AT WASHING.
TON PARK.

An army Of go, 900 Youngsters took
possession Of Washington Park on the
Delaware yesterday, and nothing just
like their ''go0d time" has ever hap
pened. Colonel William J. Thompson
included every school child in Phila-
delphia and their parents in his gen.
eral invitation, and all of the many
amusements in the park were opened
free of charge to all corners. The
Columbia Concert Band played all af-
ternoon, a special programme having
been arranged for the benefit of the
children. About noon it was pretty
warm, and 20, 900 boys and girls de-
cided to take. swim. Bathing suits
were not to be had, and the forty
Philadelphia policemen specially de.
tailed for the occasion cut no tig-
ure with 10000 hot youngsters, SO
they all stripped. and naked kids lin
ed the beach for mile or more. Jo-
seph johnson arrived on the ground
with 1000 new pennies with which to
soothe any lost children that might
come under the care of the Volunteer
Committee on lost Youngsters. AS
soon as the first lost boy got his new
cent, there were SO, 800 other lost
youngsters hunting for Mr.. johnson,
who dropped the 900 pennies and ran
for his life. Mrs. G. W. Pomery, Ray
Martin, Miss Lena Thompson and
Mrs. Clayton Lex helped the park au.
thorities take care OF the guests of
Colonel Thompson.

RUM0RS. OF
/ Big SHAKE-UP.

Rumors of important changes to be
made among the members Of the police
force are now agitating the policemen.
The rumors have been dicussed by the
officers for about two weeks. 1t was at
first reported that the changes would
be made at the meeting of the Police
Commission held on Monday evening
last. Now it is said that the changes
will not be made until after the fourth
of July as it is believed the old off,
GERS who are familiar with the districts
should be on duty on that day when
there is so much work to do.
The most interest is taken in the al
legged changes to be made at the patrol
station. 1t is said, and on good author
ity, that Sergeant McDermott will be put
on district and that Street Sergeant
George Lyons will succeed him at the
patrol station. Driver Palmer will be
replaced by someone not yet selected.
Talmer may be sent to the police sta
ton where he will act in the capacity of
operator under Captain Black. This
would make necessary the removal Of
Operator Harkins.
Everyone who has business at the po-
lice station would be sorry to see Har-
kins removed as he is always obliging
and on account of his long experience
is a valuable man to the department in
the position that he now holds.
Should Palmer be sent to the police
station it is said that Policemen Barr
and Cornish will be mounted on the
horses used in the summer time to pa
troll the outlaying districts. Previous
to going to the patrol station Palmer was
one of the mounted policemen and he
may be transferred to his old position.
Sergeant Rice will not be removed.
Driver John Purcell is slated for re-
moval and Patrolman John Mcdaniel
will probably replace him. None of the
men will be transferred because they are
not fitted for the positions they now hold.
On the street number Of the men
may be sent to new districts. These
changes are frequent, however, and little
interest in taken in them except by the
sergeants and street sergeants and the
men themselves. r'.""
When spoken to about the matter Chief
Massey refused to confirm the story that
the changes were to be made. He would
not deny it, however, but said that 20
changes would be made before July 4.
There has not been such general
changing of men as is contemplated since
Chief Massey was appointed.

DELAWARE GRANITE GO.
Has a Complete Stone Crushing
Plant.
Extensive Improvements Being
Made. Two New Machines and
an Engine Purchased.

Wilmington is possessed OF one of the
most caDplete stone crushing plants In
this section Of the country. The plant is
that OF the Delaware Granite and Min
ing Company, on the north aide ofthe
Brandy wine several hundred yards east
of LEAFS Flour Mills. The company al
though only in existence but about q
year, lie turning out hundreds OF tons of
crushed granite daily. Recently extern
sive improvements were made which
| will make the capacity for crushing gran
lite larger than ever.
/ For some time the company has only
been operating three crushers Recently
two new crushers were purchased and
will problbly be put in operation next
week. A 1876 horse power engine has also
been purchased which will operate all of
the crushers at one time.
| After the stone has been run through
the crushers 1t is by the means OF an
endless chain with buckets attached,
dumped into large bin which has a
capacity for holding 900 tons OF the
crushed stone. The bin is separated into
three sections, one for the inch and a
half stone, one for the inch and one for
the fine crus ned stone which is termed
dust. From each section of the bin there
is chute which dumps the crushed
stone into belt carrier.
The belt carrier runs about 100 feet
out to the company's wharf and by the
means of it the stone is loaded on barges
without TIE expense OF any labor what
ever. The belt carrier is new device
and has only been in operation few
weeks. 1t has capacity for loading 240
tons of the stone on the barges in an
hour.
The entire plant is under the direct
supervision OF Superintendent Con Hor-
rigan, who thoroughly understands the
business. In addition to the improve.
ments spoken Of, a contract has been let
to William Austin to erect a new plat
form around the plant. The company
employees nearly hundred men in the
quarries and to operate the crushing
machines. The stone is now being taken
from a breast of rock about rs feet high.
1t is being shipped all over the coun-
try. The company now has contracts for
building several roads in New Jersey.
The State superintendent Of public high
ways Of New Jersey recently said that
be considered the stone from the local
quarries the best in the country.

BR0WNSON
SHUT OUT.

The Chester Athletics by sharp field
ing yesterday afternoon shut out the
Brownson team on the home grounds by
the score of 4 to 0. The home team how
ever, has nothing to be ashamed of as
they put up fast game with the excep.
ton Of the last inning. when two runs
were made as the result Of an error by
Schultz. The visitors scored their first
two runs by good base running and
timely hitting.
Burchell was in fine form and pitched
good enough ball to win the game had
the home players punched their hits in
several innings when hits were needed.
He held the sluggers from Chester down
to seven hits and was as steady as clock
work. Blackburn caught good game
and saved several runs by making great
pick ups of two wild throws. The score
follows,
