TENTH STREET PROJECT
WILL Be DISMISSED
Special Meeting ofthe Board
of Trade Tonight for
That Purpose

There will be a special meeting OF
the Board Of Trade this evening for
the purpose Of again discussing the
subject Of widening Tenth street. AS
has been stated before the DUPONT
Company is having trouble in securing
la clear title to the Ward property at
No. 1908 Market street which il re-
1uired so as to allow Tenth street to
be widened. The object Of this meeting
lis to decide on some plan whereby the
street can be widened and at the same
time the powder concern can erect its
new building according to plans al
ready prepared. A representative OF
the DUPONT Company will attend the
meeting.
One Of the suggestions to be discuss
ed is the calling of a special session
Of the Legislature to pass law where
by a will filed in a foreign country can
be proved here. This would then give
the DuPonts a clear title. There are a
number OF attorneys who have given it
as their opinion that this is the only
solution of the problem.

OF FIRST
CHURCH RESIGNS

Resignation to Take Effect
November 9
IHREE CHURCHES MAY Be MERGED

The Rev. Charles S. Stevens, at the
close Of the morning services in the First
Presbyterian Church yesterday announe-
ed that he had resigned from tho pastor
ate to take effect on November 19. This
announcement was a surprise to many
members of the church. He has been pas
tor for several years and was popular
with the congregation.
Mr.. Stevens announced that he is con-
sidering overtures from a large church in
another city. He also gives as reason
for resigning the talked Of consolidation
of the three Presbyterian churches in the
business section, namely the First Cen
tral and Hanover churches. This consoli-
dation he considers would be good
thing.
Mr.. stevens gave out the following state
ment:
MY resignation Is from the belief after
careful study that three Presbyterian
churches. within three blocks of one an
other in the downtown section, Is moi
only an unwise and unnecessary eNpendi'
ture Of energy and money. but an ar
rangement decidedly opposed TO the
growth of Presbyterlanism In the city o
wilmington. During the time 1 have
been the pastor of the First Church
agencies have been instituted which in
sure the support and material welfare OF
this church for the future.
"The First Church is in position u
maintain herself irrespective Of the con
ditions which surround her and for thil
reason I believe that in the downtown
section she represents the point Of van
tage, in which all Of our Presbyterian en-
ergy and means should be concentrated

the strategic, point Of the city, there i

ence commensurate with this growing

work and that the way may be full

tion was granted. The complainant al

The Chancellor denied the application
of Thomas f. Bayard for a preliminary

opinion occupies twenty-three type-writ-

beloved priest, and as he received the

down the faces of the worshippers.

Credibility of Prosecuting
Witness Evidence.
BOY SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL

For some time past the Retail MIX
Dealers Association has been endeavor-
ing to break up the practice Of milk
bottle thefts in this city, and with this
object in view. has engaged detectives
and counsel TO locate and prosecute the
offenders. In City Court to-day Mar
shall Pierce, a milk dealer was charged
with such an offense, being accused Of
stealing two bottles, the property Of
William f. Kelly. The latter testified
that he saw Pierce take the bottles
from the steps of a house in Second
street, where the witness served milk.
Judge Cochran, who presided, asked
Kelly what his reputation was where
he worked for a certain man known
by the court.
The witness replied that II was good.
The court then said: Il know some
thing of the trouble that caused you
to leave that position"
Harry Yerkes, a driver for George H.
Huber. testified that he saw Pierce and
Kelly wrangling about the bottles. The
latter accused the defendant of taking
them, but Pierce denied the charge.
Samuel Chadwick a boy who said he
was in Pieree's wagon on the morning
the theft is alleged to have occurred,
! testified that Pierce took up only one
bottle in the block when Kelly said the
defendant took bottles belonging to him
and this bottle came from house
/ served by Pierce. The witness said he
was in the wagon all the time and
denied Kelly's charge.
Former Judge ]. Frank Ball, who
represented Pierce, said he had other
witnesses. but Judge Cochran inter-
rupted him by saying 1T is not neces-
sary to call any more Of your witnesses
wouldn't hold anybody on that mans
(meaning Kelly) evidence. I therefore
dismiss the case.

HEAD OF MURDERED GIRL
RECOVERED FROM RIVER
Another Sensational Devel-
opment in the Dress
Suit Case Affair

Boston. Nov. 6.-What is confidently be-
lleved 10 be the head Of Susanna A.
Goary the dress suit case victim, was
recovered IN a leather handbag from ths
bottom Of the harbor yesterday. II was
dragged to the surface near the point
where Lewis W. Crawford and william
Howard. who have confessed TO lisposing

East Boston ferryboat.
The head is the last OF the dlsmembered
portions OF the body 70 be found.
The bag with its contents was taken to
Howard street undertaking establish
ment, and will be viewed by Medical Ex-
aminer Francis A. Harris today The
head was in a good state OF preservation.
and it is thought by the police that It
will be readily recognized as that of Miss
Goary. thereby confirming the identhca-
tion.
The finding OF the girls head was the
only thing of Importance in the case dur
ing the day. The police continued tho
search for Mary S. Dean. who is said %
have had charge OF the Roxbury home in
which Miss Geary died after being re-
moved from the fremont street resort.
It is believed that she left the city as
soon as she learned OF the arrest Of Craw-
ford and Howard. Crawford and Howard
viii probably remain in New York for
several days until the necessary papers
for their extradition are approved by
Governor Higgins.
