MIR. KNOWLES MAKES ANSWER
But His Report Concerning Church Prop
critics Was Far From Being Definite

REGARDING the city's taxing of prop
critics OF the Catholic Church., which
w. NJ. Byme contends are exempt un-
der the law, Horace Greeley Knowles
Yesterday afternoon made a supple
mental report TO the Levy Court. but
made no recommendations that the
properties referred to be stricken from
the books of the county, except the
Ursiline Academy. which charges a
tuition fee for students vino study
there The Second street market
lhouse is not exempt, because It
is owned by private corporation.
Both of these institutions, in
Mr.. Knowles opinion, should pay
taxes. The either school and church
properties We're referred to- a commit
tee composed of Messrs. Willis, Cham
dler and Mealey. who win decide
whether they should or should not be
taxed.

aaaphed to his wife that he would not
be home, and yesterday morning Mrs.

of the cash register and OF the lhslue
door OF the safe. his son, Charles l.
Beckett, wrote his father TO send them
to him. Last night young Mr.. Beckett
received a package which contalneu
his fathers keys and fountain pen.
A few hours later he learned that his
father had been killed on the railroad.
When Abe news was broken to Mrs.
Beckett in the restaurant she fell in
faint and it was some time before she
could be revived.
Portions of the body were picked up
by trainmen and sent to the emef-
gency hospital, at French street sta
tion. There they were taken to the
morgue by Coroner's Assistant James
T. Chandler. where the corpse was
identified by the dead mans son. Sew
eral portions Of the body were found
today. William II. Robinson, under

that Mr.. Beckett was returning from
Philadelphia when he met his death
Edward Donahue, who lives neal
Edge Moor, called at the Beckett res
taurant this morning and produced q
letter written by the dead man in
which he said he would remain Ovel

DOCTORS DISCUSS
VACCINATION
Think That Danger Of Tet-
anus Is Slight
DECREASE IN VACCINATION
Believe That Tho Board Of Educa-
tiOR Should Enforce the Law
on The Subject

There seems to be difference of opin-
ion among the physicians Of this city as
TO the falling off of vaccinations here
and TO what it is attributed.
That there Is a falling off the reports
nf the city vaccine physicians show con-
clusiyely. Whether it is due to the fact
that so many persons were yaccnated
during the last smallpox outbreak in
Wilmington, or TO the tetanus scare in
Camaen. n. j., is difficult to determine.
DR.. Thomas ID. Cook. vaccine physician
of the northeastern district, which in
cludes that part Of the city from Market
street north of Sixth to the Brandywine,
told reporter for the Evening Journal
today that he had yaccnated 600 persons
IA this city, as compared with about ! 900
during the smallpox scare last year. OF
the eltire number, very few suffered
great Inconvenience, and not one person
was obliged to go 60 bed. lie says that if
the vaccination is properly performed and
/ the necessary precautions taken, that
/ there is no danger in vaccination. DIR.
/ Cook uses the virus prepared by the IL.
/ Is. Mufurd Company, of Philadelphia,
which ne says is the best. The vaccine
/ n provided 70 the vaccine physicians by
/ City Council.
DR. j. j. Malcolm, vaccine physician
OF the northwestern district. which is
west Of Market street and north Of Sixth.
reports that he also has Yaccinated about
600 persons this year, and that no one has
been made III by the operation. Drs
Stcinicken and Hurdle. the other two
vaccine physicians, report about the same
state of Affairs in their districts.
DIR. James A. Draper. one Of the old
est and best known physicians in Viii
mingt0n, snys that the tetanus scare over
vaccination is all nonsense He says that
there Is no danger about the operation il
IL Is properly DONE and that the patient
only suffers n little Inconvenience He
ll thinks that the comparatively small num-
ber OF vaccinations is due to neglect and
says that the Board OF Education should
enforce the law on the subject by not al
2 lowing pupils to attend the schools with
out being vaccinated. He is emphatic IL
a his declaration that vaccination sh0ul,
S not be either avoided or postponed.
r All physicians agree that smallpox

q particularly in Philadelphia. and il vi
cnity, and that to suspend vaccination al
this time would be most unfortunate, a.
il undoubtedly would favor the spread OF
the disease
According to the doctors, the dange

.MILLDAM ROADS
In Bid SHAPE
Citizens Of II. Georges Hun
dred Want Roads Made
PaSSable

That the milldam roads in St.
Georges hundred are a public neces-
sity, is declared by all persons who
use them. and in spite Of the opinion OF
Horace Greeley Knowles that the Levy
Court Of New Castle county hasn't al-
thority to keep them in repair, the
people OF St. Georges are clamoring
for the county to put the Voshell and
.Shallcross highways in condition.
In speaking Of the matter this morn
ing prominent taxpayer in
that hundred said that it had al
ways been customary for the coun-
Nv to- either make the repairs
or assist in making them. The farmers
complain that the county can spend a
half a million dollars for bridge work
in the city of Wilmington, the citizens
of which place pay no more tax In
proportion than do the citizens OF St
Georges.
On last Monday four of the commits
tioners inspected the roads and found
them impossible.
Commissioner Armstrong said yes
terday that while he did not wish 70
overrule the opinion Of Mr.. Knowles
that the people in the hundred he
represents feel that the roads should be
put IN condition.
The road commissioners are said t
have no money as they have used
$1,000 in paying old debts

SURPRISED AT sHERIFF's CASE
His Attorneys Cause Court TO Reserve
Opinion

Contrary to the expectations OF many
persons the Superior Court yesterday
afternoon did not order Sheriff Nc
Daniel to give up the prisoners now
in his possession to the trustees OF
the New Castle county wOTkhouse.
After hearing the argument of the at
torneys for Sheriff Mcdaniel, the court
withheld decision.
Many persons thought that all the
trustees would have to do would be to
ask the court to order the Sheriff to
give UP the prisoners and settle down
on his $4,000 salary, and the Sheriff
would have to comply.
The citing Of similar cases in other
States showed that the Sheriff had q
strong reason for retaining these
prisoners and that it was doubtful il
the courts had power or right under
the constitution to take the prisoners
from him The opinion of the court il
awaited with interest.
