NATURALIZATION
PAPERS WRONG
So Smith Has Court AnnuI
Them to Save Himself
From Prosecution

In the Superior Court this morning
on the application Of Willard Salisbury
counsel for r. Smith. an employe of
the Bavarian Brewing Company. the
naturalization papers OF Smith were
cancelled by the court. This was done
because Of a mistake made by Mr..
Smith in his calculation OF the number
of years he had been a resident when
he first applied for the papers.
Sometime ago when Mr.. Smith was
about to leave for Germany he asked
the Government for the necessary pass
ports and gave the exact date of his
arrival I'm this country as is required.
The United States officials noticed at
once an irregularlty and started an in
vestigation which resulted in the find
ing of case against Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Smith is now in Germany. He
wrote to Mr.. Salisbury, asking him TO
represent him before the Superior Court
explaining that he had no intention of
violating the law. This letter was filed
with the court this morning and When
Mr.. Smith returns to this country he
will be given final corrected papers.
There were two cases set for today, in
Superior Court but neither one of them
went to trial. The case Of the use Of Johr
W. westcott ct al. VS.. Jacob Thomas, ei
al, was reported to be in course of set
tlement.
In the case Of Joseph a. AIcMullin VS.
John Biddles, executor. John Rodney who
represented the defendant could not b,

AINSCOW NOT
AMONG DUPES
Copper Promoter Thought
Him a Millionaire Who Was
Somewhat Close
LOOKED LIKE AN AGENT

Since the publication Of the exclusive
story Of the Colonial Copper Company
in Saturdays Journal many OF our
staid citizens have been congratulating
themselves over their escape from the
smooth tongued and slick Mr.. Painter.
a good story regarding the attempts
Of the promoter to gain recruits for
the Colonial Copper cause was told by
that prince of story tellers. Colonel
Ainscow, proprietor OF Wilmington's
famous cafe.
It seemed that Promoter Painter got
the impression that the Colonel was a
millionaire and wanted to change some
of his gold for copper.
Colonel Ainscow protested his ina
bility to invest his funds in anything
but his established business and the
flowing words and glorious visions pic
tured by Mr.. Painter fell on deaf ears.
The Colonel watched with some
amusement the way in which business
friends and shrewd investors We're in
terested in Colonial Copper and the au-
tcmobile rides little dinners and the
like failed to shake the Colonels deter
mnation to keep out
Mr. Painter evidently regarded the
winning Of the Colonel as a prize to be
strven for and succeeded I'm having
him bombarded with letters from sucf
men as John Bancroft and others who
advised the Colonel that i'm their opin-
/ ion il was a good investment.
The Colonel was invited 10 the WI.
lmington Club supper and after the lee
ture OF President Hanway he begaI
to feel that perhaps there might b
something good i'm IL. Stll he kept out
soon after that Painter told the Col
onel that he had made the rest mil
/ ilionaires and he was sorry that he coul
not persuade him to go in with tn
other distinguished citizens.
Some time after that one Of the In
vestors told Colonel Ainscow that h
knew where he could get lots Of IN
Colonial Copper stock at consderabl
less than he paid for IT,.
"You know" said the Colonel, "tha
one in my line Of business has chanc

ROBIN OPPOSES
BOARDS PLANS
Declares Mechanical FiItra-
tiOniS Dangerous and Will
Fight II to the End

Whatever is the outcome Of the ex-
pertinent, I, as a citizen. viii express
an opinion adverse to mechanical A.
tration."
These We're the words uttered by
city bacteriologist DR. A. Robin, at the
c.osa of the meeting of the Board Of
Water Commissioners yesterday af-
ternoon. When pressed for an explana-
ton, Dr. Robin said that the result of
his investigation on the filtration sub
ject was that the mechanism of Me
chancal Filtration was so complex,
that the slightest disarrangement
would result in allowing hundreds of
thousands of gallons of impure water
to pass through the mains Of the city,
and causing as IN many places, cpl
domics Of disease.
Charles A. Warner. vice president
OF the Charles Warner Company offer
ed to provide half the expense Of the
installation of an experimental plant
if it did not prove certain points laid
down in his recent letter TO the board.
/ He also gave an interesting summary
Of the differences between the SOW
sand and the mechanical processes, as
did Freeland Howe, Jr., the represen-
tative of the Pittsburg Filter Manu-
featuring Company.
Mr. Howe said an experimental
plant should have 2 capacity Of 100,-
600 gallons per day. as the coagula-
ton was so slight that such a volume
of water was necessary to result in
enough for testing purposes.
His firm, he said, would make a de-
sign. upon receipt Of plans of the pro-
posed site and the elevation, for a
testing plant which he said should be
G feet square and would cost be.
tween $1,000 and $500
Mr.. Howe admitted that both pro
Icesses were somewhat similar the
mechanical plant using chemicals tc
aid the sand. but he said the mechani
cal filter would show greater efficiency
The question of COST asked by Com
missioner Lindsay. developed the fact
that the slow sand pant would be
more expensive to build.
In reply to a statement that chem
icaly filtered wate- would kill fish
and had so acted at the st. Louis Fair
Mr. Warner said that the ST. Louis
plant used four times as much limo
in purifying the water as was neces
sary.
/ Concerning the objection of physi
clans to the use Of chemicals in the
filtration of tho water. Mr. Warner
facetiously commented on their in
consistency, is as much as they arc
continually unloading tons Of chemi
Gals upon the human systems under
the'- charge.
After some consultation, the hoard
announced its decision to apply fol
estimates to two or three concerns
for the installation Of an experimental
plant, so as not to be under any obi
cato to any one firm, but it CAV,
permission to Mr.. Warner to have ;
man on the ste to watch the expert
ments in company with DR.. Robin.
