NO ACTION YET To
CLOSE POOL ROOMS
Chief Wier Waiting for Official
Notice of Decision
TOM HE WLETT TALKS
Chief wier and City Attorney Smith
Express Their Opinions of the
Result of the Decision.
Action Today.
TOM He WLETT TALKS

No action was taken yesterday by
Chief of Police Wier to close the pool
room operating in the Morris hotel as
he had not received official notification of
the decision of the supreme court in the
case of the mayor and board of aldermen
VS.. Brown. As soon as he received a
copy of the decision he will proceed to
close the place up.
The decision in the case seems to mean
practically that no injunction can be is
sued restraining the police from enfore-
ing the ordinance passed by the mayor
and board of aldermen preventing the
calling, or displaying the results of horse
races in the city limits. The injunction.
which has been in effect for some time,
is removed and Chief Wier and the police
department can act as soon as the official
notice of the decision reaches Birming-
ham.
City Attorneys Views.
1t Is thought that the ordinance will
effectually stop pool selling in the city.
City Attorney Ed Smith said last night
that he thought 1t covered all such mat
ters, and that entirely new ideas would

7. G. Hewlett who is interested In the
Old Dominion Telegraph company says
that this will not affect the company.
He states that the transmission of tele-
grams or money orders by the Old Do
minion will not be stopped in any way.
and that this decision does not affect the
company. He asserted that no pool room
was being run by the Old Dominion
company, and that there is no violation
of the law.
Old Dominion Co.
Mr.. Hewlett said:
LAS soon as the official notice arrives
they will probably have to close up the
place in the billiard room of the Morris
where the black boards are on the walls,
but the Old Dominion company has moth
ing to do with that. The company will
still receive and transmit kilograms and
money orders, and l do not think the
police can stop us. The company was
tried before Judge FeagN and released"
Chief Wier said last night:
81 will proceed against the pool room
as soon as I receive official conhrma-
ton of the decision from Montgomery.
City Attorney Smith has advised me not
to act until this arrives. I will then
close up the place, and If necessary ar

.PEDDLER SHOT AND
KILLED At |NMAN
Julius Madnick Was Probably
Murdered by Robber
WOMEN HEARD THE SHOT
Deceased's Home Was In Birmingham
Body Brought Here Last Night
and lnterment VIII Be In
Jewish Cemetery Today.
WOMEN HEARD THE SHOT

Julius Madnick, peddler, was shot and
killed yesterday morning near Inman, st.
Clair county, and his body was brought
to Birmingham last night and sent to the
undertaking establishment of the Gaudin
company.
The funeral services will be conducted
from the Gaudin company's establishment
this morning at 11:SO o'clock, and the
interment will be in the Jewish cemetery.
1t seems that Madnick was murdered
for the purpose of robbery, although 1t
is thought that possibly some one had a
grudge against him and shot him from
ambush. The bullet entered the left eye
and passed through the brain, causing
instant death.
Breakfasted at Farm House.
Yesterday morning about 7:3O oclocl,
Madnick ate his breakfast at farm
house near Inman, and then, putting his
pack of goods on his shoulder, he start
ed down the road. When about 100 wards
from the place a shot was heard by the
women at the house, and an investiga-
ton discovered the body of Madnlck ly-
ing face down. His pack was not touch
ed, but whatever money he had was gone.
Wife of Deceased.
Justice of the Peace II. Chapman sent
a telegram to Birmingham about l
o'clock to the wife of the deceased, who
lives at 1891 Third avenue She replied to
send the remains to Birmingham at once.
The body arrived at 10 o'clock last night.
Madnick was known as foot peddler,
and went through the country with a
small pack on his back. He had only been
living in Birmingham about six months.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR CITY
Diamond Pressed Brick Company Soon
Will Locate Here.

The Diamond Pressed Brick Com
pany, a concern new to Wilmington,
will probably be turning out 10000 Of
a. process stone brick every day within
the next four weeks. The plant is now
being rushed to completion on site
along the south side of the Christiana,
Just east of the Market street bridge.
The plant is rather an elaborate one.
The process is simple, involving the
transformation. through a secret meth
Cd. of sand and lime into artificial
stone. The bricks are practically In
diana limestone, known in the building
trade as the best there is to be had.
The process used by Nature in pro-
ducing this limestone is TO be practical
" reproduced at the new plant of the
Diamond Stone Brick Company. Lime
and river sand will be mixed in correct
proportions, ascertained through a
long series of experiments, and then
subjected to intense heat in a vacuum.
This results in a thorough amalgama-
tion of the lime and sand and bricks
can be made by this process in twenty
four hours. They are then as hard as
the ordinary brick is at the end of a
month. the rapidity of manufacture be-
ing greatly in favor of the new pro-
cess. The stone brick will probably
sell at from S12 to SIS. while the ordi.
nary brick costs about $40. with the
price for the dressed brick running
from $40 up.
Wilmington was selected as the site
for the new plant because Of its eX
cellent transportation facilities, tbs
| nearness of sand and lime supplies ant
their consequent low cost and the fac
that labor is not unduly high.
The new product will be handled b,
the Charles Warner Company. Th
company viii employ only ten or twelv
men, the manufacturing operation be
ing practically automatic.

The body of an unknown woman was
found lying upon the mud flats at the
mouth Of Ridley creek. near Essington,
yesterday. She had been drowned several
days ago Three diamond rings upon her
fingers and the quality of her c.othng
seem to indicate that the woman was IN
comfortable circumstances. Although
there are no marks of violence upon the
body, foul play IS hinted at, and some
persons even think that the womans
Jeatn may be connected in some way with
the Essington swamp mystery. on the
day before the unknown man was burned
in BUckley's swamp about a month ago

with two men and woman on board. Thi:
may have been the woman. some think.

pha. who was accidentally drowned IN the
Delaware river, off Marcus Hook, last
Sunday. A sister Of Miss Dolan was noti
fed She viewed the body and said II was
not that OF Miss Dolan. The unknown

FAMOUS LAURADA CASE
AGAIN BROUGHT UP
Court Orders Return of
Money But Filibusters OBJ
ject, Claiming Interest

In United states Court yesterday after.
noon Judge Bradford ordered that the
balance Of the money in the registry Of
the court be paid to Ward and Gray, the
counsel for John J. Maline. the owner OF
the famous hdbusterlng steamship Lau-
rada.
The Laurada was seized here on a charge
Of filibustering and was taken to ths
works OF the Harlan and Hoiilnssworth
Company where it remained for some
time. Lewis C.. vaudegrift. who was then
district attorney brought forfeiture pro-
ceedings against the vessel and two cases
were before the court. The craft was ap-
praised ani the value fixed at 5000 for
which a bond was given. This did not
satisfy Mr.. Vandegrift and S2e61 Sc was
paid into court in cash by the owners of
the vessel &c cover any costs which might
arise IN the case.
The district court Of this city decided
against the government in the forfeiture
case and IL was taken to the court OF ap-
peals where the decision Of the lower
court was sustained. The government was
persistent, however, and carried the case
to the supreme court Of the United States
where the lower court was again sus-
tained. The second case was then discon-
tinued. OF the money paid into court a
considerable amount was spent for wharf
age and other claims against the vessel
and a.327 40 was left in the registry Of the
, court. Yesterday Andrew C. Gray Of
Ward & Gray asked that this money be
paid TO his firm as counsel for the own
er and the necessary order was made by
Judge Bradford.
! This morning Anthony Higgins and
Henry r. Bringhurst. Jr, representing
the libellants in the case appeared be-
fore the court and filed objections to
the return of the money to the owner
of the Laurada. They contended that
their clients were entitled TO interest
on their claims. which. II allowed BY
the court. VIII consume the balance re-
lmaining to the credit OF the vessels
owner. Counsel on both sides were
still arguing the case when court took
