VETERAN LEGION
WILL CELEBRATE
Old Soldiers to Observe Ap-
pomattox Day With Big
Memorial Service
WILL SECURE HALL FOR OCCASION

The Union Veteran Legion Of this city
will hold a meeting on Friday evening
when plans will be formed to hold a
moaster celebration on Appomattox Day
April 6. Members OF the organization
have been talking the matter over for
some time and have finally decided to
put some effort into the movement which
will insure no; only a success but one Of
the largest observances OF the kind ever
held in Delaware. The project is yet in its
Infancy. but committees will soon be ap-
pointed after which active steps will be
taken, looking toward definite arrange
ments to be followed out between now
and The time set for the anniversary. The
quarters occupied by the legion at Third
and Market streets are entirely too small
to accommodate the crowd which will be
on hand, SO one Of the large halls will be
secured and decorated for the occasion.
Many entertaining features will be pro-
vided for the amusement and instruction
of the guests. Prominent veterans OF the
war will be on hand TO TELL stories of the
camp, the prison and the battle field A
rousiDg campfire will be held when per-
sondl "reminiscences will pour in from all
sides.
! The legion has observed Appomattox
Day in former years but not to the extent
to which they propose to go this sea-
son.
The members of the organization in this
city number almost tour hundred They
are former volunteer soldiers who served
throughout the civil war. While the pur-
pose is much the same as the G. A. r.,
there is that distinction that TO be eligible
to the legion veteran must nave served
through the entire time OF the war and
been mustered out.

His career logically led to some such
conclusion. He was a swindler facile
princeps. He thought in millions ana
reaped millions from his dupes. His
special prey was the nobility Of Eng

King was involved. He is reported to
have said years ago: "The people want

astonishing ease. He lived in the great.

Senator Alice is preparing TO open

lying, bribery and brutality.

THE woRKHoUsE INQUIRY.

rhe Board Of Trustees Of the Work
house yesterday heard the charges Of
Franklin C. Howard formerly a night
guard. against Warden Meserve: and
after the guard had concluded his tes-
Cmony. promptly exonerated Warden
Morervs from any fault. 1t was the
only thing to do undor the circum-
stances.
There was general feeling that the
charges OF this guard should be inves-
tieatod. This was not mere com
plaint, such as comes from prisoners:
it was the statement Of one who had
been an officer Of the institution and
presumably in a position to know. Yet
when tho time came he had nothing To
reveal; his testimony even having the
effect Of establishing the competency
Of the warden and the efficiency OF
tho management
AID in that the time and troubl,
taken in the investigation are justified
In such Institutions there IS a grea
opportunity for abuses. Naturally tn
complaints OF prisoners are discountel
and officers who wish to hold thci
places are not inclined to make trou
