Wilmington Hotels Not Adequate to
Accommodate Travelling Public.

It becomes more evident each day
adequate to accommodate the travel
ing public. Wilmington is not q small
town. but a city, and large numbers
of travelling men are here every day.
o to speak of the local travel. Time
and again has il ccurred recently
that every room at The Orion was
occupied and on several occasions all
the rooms in the other hotels were
also taken.
1t does not require some special oc-
casion to fill the hotels of Wilmington,
the ordinary travel taxes them to their
utmost capacity. There is no fault to
be found with the ann in which
The Orion is conducted, but it is not
large enough.
A travelling man is not going to
speak Il good word for a city when
he arrives in the late hours of the
night and upon going to the hotel is
informed that all the rooms are oc-
cupied.
The travelling men are the greatest
advertising medium in the world.
Nothing pleases the travelling man bet
ter than reaching a town where be
has no trouble in securing a nice room
and a well supplied table. If the
travelling man is treated we'll he
their fight, and that they were then
going at it in earnest. Nothing ear
be learned from them in re-
gard to their intentions, but
this being the last meeting of the
board until April. it is considered
more than probable that the petition
will be presented. If the petition has
the required number of names, ac-
cording TO the law, h board Will be
compelled to call the election.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. N~inety-nine Of every
ono hundred people who have heart troubie
can remember when 1t was simple indiees-

heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to. but are the direct result of ind
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails Of perfect digestion ferments and
svells the stomach. putting 1t up against the

the heart. and In the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

SEEKS The AID
OF CAPITALISTS
Secretary Taft Holds a Con-
ference in New York City
With Prominent Financiers
DISCUSS PHILIPPINES
Proper Development of
Steam and Electric Roads
in Islands Is Considered

NEW YORK, March 1O.-W. H. Taft,
Secretary of War. came here to-day
and had prolonged conference with
several men prominent in railroad and
financial matters. The conference was
held In the office OF former Secretary
Of War Root.
After the conference Secretary Taft
the possibilities of steam and electric
railroad development in the Philip
pines; that no other enterprises were
discussed and that no conclusion had
been reached.
These gentlemen" said the Secre-
tary. have been here at my invitation
to talk over the conditions which may
attract capital to the Philippines. We
want TO get capital to go over there and
help develop the islands"
What was the disposition Of the
capitalists?" he was asked.
Well. 1 must say they are not biting
quite as hard as we would like. Still.
some of them have displayed interest" /"
He admitted that the purpose of the
conference was to get information for
use In framing laws regarding iran
chises which would give the Philippine
Commission further powers looking to
the proper development of the islands.
1.-The information we have been getting
to-day is to be used in drafting the
bills that may be put before Congress. +"
he said.
He said there was no desire to make
the concessions too liberal
while to-day's conference was linn
tied to the subject Of railroads" said
the Secretary, lit is not the intention
to limit development in the Philippines
to these industries. 1t was at first the
intention to confer on steamship routes
and lines. too. but it was decided not
to do this to-day"
Taft, who left for Washington to-
night, said he would make a report on
the subject to a Congressional commit
tee Saturday next
