STILL FINDING
SMALLPOX CASES
Board ofHealth Officers Are
Having Trouble With Sick
Colored People

A case of smallpox in Mechanic
street was reported this morning to the
Board of Health authorities. The pa
tient is a negro named Pryor, and he
will be removed to the Emergency
Hospital at once.
The health officials are experiencing
considerable difficulty in locating per-
sons suffering with the disease. Col
ored people as a rule cause the most
trouble. and il is hard to make any CT
them afflicted with the sickness be-
lieve that they have smallpox.
That another conveyance to take pa
tients to the Emergency Hospital Is
needed there is no question for doubt.
A hack is at present used for this pur-
pose. and there are instances Ct very
sick persons being Obliged to set up on
their way to the hospital.
IL has been suggested that an ambu-
lance be secured so that the sick can
lie down, but no action has as yet been
taken in the matter.

Henry c. Conrad, Attorney
for the Levy Court, Pre-
sents His Opinion
WILL NOT PAY NOTARY PUBLICS

There was a special session Of the
Levy Court today TO discuss mat
ters pertaining to the recent election.
The courts attorney. Henry G. Conrad,
submitted his opinion in regard to the
registrars right to have the lists Of
registered voters printed. In conclud-
ing he said:
"It is clear that two members OF the
board acting together out OF session.
would not have authority TO give an
order for printing the lists, that would
be valid in law.
my conclusion. therefore, Is that
with the board I'm session. a majority
of the board would have the undoubt-
ed right to order the printing Of the
lists, but. in the absence of action Ly

der the law to order the printing OF the
lists, would be the registrar, and II or
dered by anyone else il would impose
no obligation on the county'to pay the
bill for the work so ordered.

REbUKE To THE
BENCH AND BAR
New York Paper Thus Con
siders the Appointment
of William M. Byrne
TIMELY COMMENT MADE TODAY

The New York sun in an editorial
this morning takes the ground that the
appointment of William Michael Byrnc
as District Attorney of Delaware is a
presidential rebuke to the bench and
bar OF the State
The editorial follows:
The appointment Of Addicks' man
Byrne to be District Attorney in Dsla.
ware was made known, we believe, on
November IL. The somewhat highly
'colored public wonder at the occurrence
ran on undisturbed by official interfar-
ence until November q when there was
put out the Ostensibly authoritative
statement that. in appointing Byrne,
President Roosevelt had recognized
not Addicks, but the large Republican
vote behind the Addicks banner. This
not mending matters, the official state
ment was made en- November "a that
Mr. Byrne WIS appointed to office for
partisan services in the past, and be-
cause, backed by the Department Ot
Justice, the President had entire con-
fidence in his ability and integrity"

IDelawares bench and bar. IL has been
the part of one Federal judge there
practically to rehuke Mr.. Byrne fer

endorsed by every Federal and State
judge, have expressed their earnest
hope that District Attorney Nields, ap-
pointed when Mr.. Byrne resigned in
order to defeat the reelection Of Della
wares Republican congressman, should
be continued in Office as an official
whose personal worth and professional
aEllty filed all requirements.

Gentlemen: Tho individual coal opcr-
ators whose product is carried over
one or the other of your respective
railroads, having learned that efforts
are being made TO effect a settlement
Of the questions now before the an.
thracite coal strike commission. of
which the individual coal operators
have been made a party at the re-
quest of tho commission, beg leave
respectfully to enter their vigorous
protest against any such settlement
to be made at this time, and set forth
the following among many reasons:
I've believe that such a settle
ment at this time and upon the basis
suggested would forever establish the
power and perpetuate the injustice
perpetrated by tho United Mine Work
ers.
"2.-That such settlement would be,
in the eyes of the public. a confession
that we have heretofore been guilty
of all the offenses charged against
~ by the said mine workers.
"3-That we have. and believe that
you have. such a perfect and com
plete defense to the allegations made
by the -complainants before the com
mission, that any money award the
commission would render would be
far less than than the amount we un
derstand that it is proposed to cen
cede, especially to miners and their
laborers.
"4-That aside from any money
considerations this commission, com
posed, as we believe. of men that are
absolutely fair, unbiased and of un
usual experience. and good judgment
in their findings, will make such decla
ration as will for many years put a
ban upon unlawful practices, oppres
sion of non-union men, unjustihable
demands and other grievances thai
we have been suffering under since
1900, when the union first took posses
sion of our property. II, on the othel
hand, this settlement be made now
when not single witness has beer
called on our part OF on your behalf
1t will be an absolute and distinct sur
render to the miners union and th'
troubles above referred TO will no
only be continued. but so magnihed a
to be absolutely unbearable."
