CATHOLICS PLAN
GREAT CONVENTION

Prominent members of Catholic or
gamzation in Wilmington are looking
forward with a great deal Of interest
to the next national convention of the
American Federation of Catholic So
.cieties. The last gathering at Colum-
bus, o., was largely attended. but it is
believed that at the next assembly
there will be an even larger number of
delegates, and that a total membership
throughout the country of nearly one
million men and women will be repre-
scented at the approaching meeting in
Chicago.
In a communication Just received in
this city from national officer at Co
lumbus. o.. the main headquarters, il
is stated that the great body now in
.cludes over 100000 members. and THAT
pc has within its jurisdiction the Catho-
lie Knights of America with 25.0OO
members; the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, not as a whole, but by sep
arate division, 100000; Knights Of St.
John, $4,000; New York State German
League, 1900; New Jersey Roman
Catholic Vereins 5000; Catholic Order
.of Foresters, $4,000; Irish Catholic Be
.nevolent Union, $4,000; Catholic Be
.neYOlent League $4,000, Young Men IS
Institute of the Pacific Slope. 10000;
Knights Of St. George. 11.OOO; Catholic
Knights and Ladies of America 5000.
and various other associations in vari-
.ous sections of the United States.
Unfortunate Coincidence
At present leading members OF the A.
20. H.. such at Patrick O'Neill, of the
Executive Committee; Judge p. j.
.O'ConnOr and NJ. j. Heating, are urging
upon the Federation that it change the
date fixed for the convention at Chi
.cago. BY an oversight the same day
July Is. was decided upon by the Hi
bermians for their national gathering
lat Denver. The effort now being made
lis to have the Federation meet about
a week later so that the delegates tC
Denver can stop at Chicago on their
way home, and thus take part in the
proceedings Of the united organiza-
tions. Under the constitution and by
laws. as now framed, a postponement
as desired would seem to be impos-
sible, but those Interested hope that
some way out Of the difficulty will be
found.

CITIZENS ARE SATISFIED
WITH COURTS OPINION
Do Not Want The Already Expensive
Water Board Case Carried to The
Higher Court

Talk by City COuncilmen of appeal
ing the case involving the purchase of
the Weldin farm by the Water Depart
ment bids fair to bring a storm Of
indignation from the people of Will
miugton. if persisted in. Council has
taken no official action relative to the
matter. but il Is said that plans are
being laid to take the case to the Su-
preme Court Already Councils oppO-
sition TO tho farm purchase has cost
the city about S2.500. and delay which
is dangerous TO the welfare OF the city.
IF taken TO the Supreme Court the cost
of litigation will sum up TO about So
GOO.
Pressure will be brought to bear
upon City Solicitor Reinhardt to put a
stop to Councils disposition to 90 to
law at the slightest provOcation.
That the city is in need Of a reser-
voir is shown by the fact that the res
.ervoir capacity Of the city is now over
taxed 250OOO gallons daily, and if any
serious break should occur or big fire
break out it would he such a short
water supply would no doubt prove
damaging to the city.
"TheCOmmittee ofFifty may be ask
ed to take a hand in the case said a
citizen this morning. If Council
doesn't quit fooling and holding up the
Water Department, The city needs
the extra land and needs it for reser-
voir purposes"
The court was divided in deciding
the case. Judges Gruhb and Spruance
being for and Chief Justice Lore
against the purchase of the land.

INJUSTICE DONE BuSINESS MEN
We're Not Caught by Police in the Recent
Raid

II having been said that several Of
the city's most prominent business men
were caught In the recent raid on
bawdy houses much injury has been
done to The character and business
reputation Of those whose names have
been mentioned by the gossipers since
the incident referred to. I'm justice to
these men, IL can be said that the list Of
names of persons caught by the police
that night does not contain that of a
single business man
Il would be vain to attempt TO trace
these stories to their source they were
not limited to one man, nor to q dozen,
but were told OF at least a score OF repu-
table men OF high professional
and business standing. who probably
knew no more about the location OF
these houses before the raid than the
youngest child.

FIRE RACES
In NEWPORT
Two Dwellings aud a Hall
Consumed
BY DEFECTIVE FLUE
Two Families Escape With Little
BIT the Clothing Which They
Had On

Cries Of fire broke the early morning
stiffness OF the little town of Newport
today. Despite the raging snow storm,
the entire population turned out to
fight the flames and give succor, II
needed. In all. three buildings were
burned and there was more excitement
in the village than for ten years past.
The fire Is supposed to have origi-
mated from a defective fiue in house
In Justis avenue. owned by Charles
Groome and tenanted by William
Sparks. The house was of frame and
burned like paper The flames commu-
nicated to the house adjoining, tenant
ed by William Ellis. and also owned by
Mr. GrOome. From there the fire
leaped to Red Eleven Hall. popularity
known as Mules Ear" and owned by
the colored people of the town. New
port has no fire company, and the
buildings We're soon reduced TO ashes.
despite the efforts OF the citizens. who
formed themselves into bucket bri-
gade to fight the flames.
The flames burned so fiercely that
noither the Sparks nor Ellis family
had time to save any of their belong
ings. A little child OF the Sparks fam
lly was all and IN removing her to a
place of safety the mother had no op-
portunity to save any of her clothing
except the wrapper which she had on.
None Of the household effects was
saved
II was only by hard work on the part
OF the citizens that the flames were
prevented from spreading TO other
buildings.
Il is said that the loss on the build
lngs is fully covered by insurance. The
occupants of the houses. also are said
TO carry q small insurance.
