HAVE TO Burn SOFT COAL
1t Banks, and How to Prevent SmOlhuirg
Of the Fire Is a Question

Because of the scarcity Of coal and
its corresponding increase in price.
there have been numerous experiments
along the fuel line. not only among
manufacturing concerns, but by house.
wives as well.
Wood is scarce and also costly and
while gas is not scarce, it is expensive
therefore experiments lie mostly
with soft coal. Sometimes it burns
well. but it cannot be called a success
in cook stoves or kitchen ranges, ow-
ing to its propensity to bank and
smother.
How to overcome this tendency is the
question which is perplexing heads of
households. Stove dealers are being
sought for information on the subject
and while they offer suggestions, the
people are experimenting along origi-
nal lines.
One man thinks he has a solution.
He has attached to his range several
iron pipes, well perforated with holes.
They extend from the crate to the ash
pit, and he asserts that they provide
plenty of draught and prevent the
banking. CT the coal and smothering OF

DBTBCTIVR BUREAU
WANTED BY CHBIF.
In the Annual Report He
Asks for More
Officers

A report Of the Chief OF Police of the
city Of Wilmington for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1902, has been issued.
It contains a photograyure Of Chief
Black, which certainly does credit to
the head of the department
The statistics are accurately drawn,
and show that no unnecessary expendi-
ture of money has been made at any
time The report also contains the
causes Of arrest, complaints attended
to, disposition, ages, occupation, and
nationality Of all prisoners arraigned
during the year.
Superintendent ]. w. Aydon's report
of the fire and police telegraph system
is also in the book.
The Chief suggests that one Of the
patrol wagons be taken from the pres
.ent quarters and located in the western
part of the city.
Continuing, he recommends that the
police force be increased. No additions
have been made since 1897. There
should be at least fifteen new patrol
men.
Il would recommend says Chief
Black. that the board consider the ad-
visibility of creating a detective bu-
reau. by taking one of the sergeants
and placing him in charge with the
title Of detective sergeant" also TAX
n4g a sufficient number OF officers from
the regular force and detailing them
for duty as detectives. In city the
size OF ours there is sufficient work for
a corps of detectives. The serving Of all
warrants and subpoenas, and the in
vestigation of all complaints should be
referred to the detectives, and IN NY
opinion such work could be done in a
more satisfactory manner by officers in
plain clothes than by uniformed Off

An exciting incident occurred at
Third street bridge yesterday after
noon. A big beam had been towed to
the pier for use on the bridge A
block and fall was lowered to it and

TROUBLE OVER
BALLOT BOXES
Democrats Agitated By EleC'
tiOn Departments Action
WOOLLEY EXPOUNDS TUE Law

For awhile this morning the mem
hers of the Democratic County Com
mittee were greatly agitated because
of the rumor that the State Department
of Elections would not deliver ballot
boxes to the Democrats so that they
might hold their primary election this
afternoon.
When the report reached the head
quarters OF the committee hurry calls
were sent out for the officers Of the
committee.
Victor B. Woolley was soor reached
and he at once hunted up Robert P.
Edwards. a member of the Depart
ment of Elections, who after having
the matter explained. said he could not
act without consulting the president
It was stated that the new boxes be-
ing made were not finished.
Secretary McCloskey, of the City De-
partment Of Elections. then offered the
loan of the boxes OF his department.
Mr.. Wolley threatened to proceed
against the Republican members Of
the State Department if the boxes were
not delivered according to law. and at
noon John w. Roberts. of The State
Department. said the new boxes would
be delivered. In speaking of the mat
ter Mr.. Woolley said:
There are some beautiful Repub-
LEANS"
Afterwards he showed the law bear
ing on the subject. It says that in case
any member of the department shall
fail to turn over boxes necessary to
conduct an election he shall be liable
to fine Of 5000 or one years impris-
onment. or both in the discretion OF
the court. This he showed to several
members of the department, but they
were familiar with it. and told the
county chairman that boxes would be
at the disposal Of the Democratic
voters at the proper time.
Some Republicans. in speaking of the
incident. said there would have been
no trouble had not Mr.. McCloskey
taken the old boxes from the sheriff's
office.
