There is this extreme danger In the

The democrats are trying to cheer
themselves over the fact that Bryan

not vote for him by any means.

WILL MEET IN
EXTRA SESSION
Governor Hum Decides to
Call 1t Probably on De
cember %
TO CORRECT THE JUDGMENT LAW
Special to The evening Journal

Special TO The Evening Journal
Dover, Dec. 13.-Governor HUM will
call the General Assembly of Delaware
together in extraordinary session. He
has not yet fixed the date. but will
probably make it Thursday, December
p The Governor reached this decision
today after an exhaustive hearing
which he accorded to one Of the most
notable audiences ever assembled here.
1t included practically the entire bar
associations Of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties and the judiciary OF those counties.
The extra session was asked for by
the alwyers with remarkable unanim-
ity, not for any benefit to themselves
but to protect people who do not employ
legal talent and who are apt TO be de-
prived Of valuable properties should the
defective judgment lien law for Kent
and Sussex counties become operative
on January 1 next, as it will unless
amended.
Chancellor Nicholson presented the
mater to Governor HUM after the dis
tinguished visitors had all assembled
this morning and he was followed by
Judges Pennewin and Boyce. Charles
+. Richards, president Of the Sussex
Bar Association, and Henry r.. Johnson,
presndent Of the Kent Bar Association.
Judge Boyce made a particularly strong
presentation Of the situation. In New
Castle county he said a judgment as an
investment is rare, but in Sussex It Is "a
favorlte way of loaning money and by ac-
tual count there are seven thousand out
standing judgments. Only four hundred of
these have been renewed because the
great masses OF investors are not able to
employ counsel regularly and are there
fore ignorant Of the law
In Kent county there is a much better
showing along the renewals and only 375
Judgments have been not been so re-en-
tered. The judge contended that should
The law be allowed TO stand. without the
extension OF time for one year or with.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
WANT CHARTER RENEWED
Will be Made to
Legislature for Same Mum
Der of Members

The Board of Education last night
passed a resolution deciding to apply
before the coming session Of the Gem
eral Assembly for a charter substan-
TALLY the same as the former charter.
A few minor changes will be made, but
they win not tend TO change the pro-
visions of the old instrument to any
great extent.
Before the resolution was adopted a
discussion was held as TO whether a
new charter should be applied for sub
stantially the same as the old one. DR..
A. y. Frantz thought that thirteen
members in the board would be suhi-
cient number. but Daniel Ross opposed
the suggestion, saying that twenty-four
were not too many. In this he was up
held by the majority Of the members
and when the vote was taken on the
resolution President Shortlidge was tho
only member who voted against its
adoption. He had taken no part in the
discussion ana offered no explanation
for his action. All the members were
unit in the opinion that the five per
cent. increase I'm the annual apprOpria-
tion Of the board should remain in the
the charter.
The committee recently appointed to
confer with City Council was instruct
cd to again meet with that body in re-
ference to the charter matter. Council
opposes the five per cent. increase
clause.

HURDY-GURDY MEN
HAVE ORGANIZED
Censor Appointed to Black
list Old Oaken Bucket and
Nine Other Tunes
LOCAL FRATERNITY AFFECTED

In the hope OF educating the musical
taste of the great masses Of this
vicinity, organ grinders have organ
lied. They will endeavor to supplant
ragtime with the selections Of the
great composers. At the same time
they hope to gain a greater respect in
the community for the hurdy-gurdy
calling.
The headquarters Of the new organ
ization is in Philadelphia and it re-
joices in the somewhat elaborate name
Of "The United and Amalgamated Or
der Of Street Organ and Hurdy- Gurdy
Players Of Philadelphia, Camden and
Wilmington" The order is as yet but
embryonic, but it's program or action
is positively adopted. Temporary OFF,
GERS have been elected, and the musical
censor has been chosen. These officers
are: President, Bartolomeo Terrone;
vice president, Giuliano Melh, and Sec
retary, Pietro Testa. All of these men
are veteran players of the hurdy-
gurdy, and are influential in organ
grinding circles.
Antonio Amodei, of 721 Fulton street,
Philadelphia, has been selected as the
musical censor Of the order He is not,
, and never has been, n knight of the
hurdy-gurdy. The organizers deter
mined from the start that the censor
should not be one Of the number. Mr..
Amodei is an interpreter in the Quaker
city courts and one of the prominent
Italians of the city
Antonio Amodei stated some of his
views on musical censorship yesterday.
"The organ grinders are unit in
this matter" said he. Il am already
compiling my list of forbidden tunes.
/ have already selected ten pieces
which I think are antiquated and yet
are heard only too often on our streets,
and are keeping the children ten years
behind the times.
"These ten selections are Sweet
Marie Little Annie Rooney After
the Ball, Maggie Murphy's Home,
sidewalks OF New York The Bow
cry The Old Oaken Bucket And the
Band Played on The Banks OF the
Wabash and The Blue and the Gray.
Il hesitated some time before I de-
cided not TO place Home, Sweet Home
and "SuWanee RIVER on the censor
blacklist. I concluded, however, that
these are sentimental tunes. and are
pleasing to all classes. The playing
of Marching Through Georgia. Amer
ica' and other patriotic pieces will be
encouraged. as they are beneficial to
the young. The Holy City onward
Christian Soldiers and other hymns
win also be approved by the censor as
they gain respect for the huFdygurdy
man rom the religious element.
ON all probability however. we shall
blacklist all ragtime pieces. The cheap
sentimental ballads viii likewise be
dropped These tunes are harmful ia
the community. as they impair the
taste for better music. In their stead
we hope to supply grand opera and
classical pieces. Surely the intermezzo
from 'Cavalleria Rusticana' is more
pleasing to the ear than Tn the Good
> Old Summer Time?' Traumerei' is q
J better tune than HALL Hail The
Gangs All Here We invite all piano
players cornet blowers and all Other
music lovers of the vicinity to give
, their hearty approval to the move
ment."
