NEWELL s CASE
WAS CONTINUED
Local "Hawkshaw" Did Not
Display His "Old SIeuth'
Qualities
IT WILL BE CALLED ON TUESDAY

A local "hawkshaw' named Black.
whose rise to fame CD has been more
rapid tnan his development of good
judgment. sought to display his "old
sleuth" qualities in the City Court this
morning when the case of Michael
Newell, who is charged with accepting
bets on horse races. was to have been
called. Unluckily for this would-be
preserver of the public peace, how
ever Josiah Marvel the attorney for
Newell, asked for postponement until
next Tuesday morning and the request
was granted by Judge Cochran.
1t is reported that Black is consid-
ering the advisability of summoning
witnesses from Mars on the theory that
the inhabitants of that planet must
know what is occurring here because
their view is unobstructed, even If it is
somewhat distant. The proceedings on
next Tuesday morning viii therefore
be awaited with interest by an ex-
pectant public.
Mr. Marvel asked for a continuance
on the ground that he had just been
called into the case and had not pre-
pared a defense. He said that he in
tended going away tomorrow and does
not expect to return until late on Mon
day.
Assistant City Solicitor Baldwin
Springer objected to Mr.. Marvel's APP
plication saying that there had al
ready .een one postponement in the
case. Judge Cochran stated, however
that Mr.. Marvel had a right to con-
tinuance in view of the fact that he
had Just been retained as counsel. He
accordingly postponed the hearing.

MEN
OPPOSE CHANGE
Cannot Use Hard or Brackish
TideWater in Manufacture
of Morocco
NOT IN FAVOR OF AUXILIARY SYSTEM

There has been considerable said
recently concerning the advisabilty Of
the Water Department providing "A
separate water system or distributing
mains for the use OF manufacturing
establishments, fire purposes and street
sprinlllng. That an auxiliary system
of this kind would be impracticable in
a city of this size Is the opinion OF
several prominent manufacturers. The
scheme is to supply manufacturing
establishments with tide water instead
of filtered water also to use IL for fire
and street EprinlSling purposes the OBJ
ject being to save the expense OF pump
ing and hltemng.
The main industry OF Wilmington Is
the manufacture Of leather, and accord
ing to two Of the largest manufac-
tures OF this product in Wilmington
an auxiliary water system, such as Is
being advocated, would be impractical
SOFT WAIVER is NECESSARY
Gen. j. Parke Postles. president of
the American Leather Company was
seen by a reporter for The Evening
journal yesterday afternoon and was
asked his opinion on the question OF
auxiliary water mains. lie said;
I'VE have never been compelled tc
use unhltered water in our business
and therefore cannot say what effect
it would have on the manufacture oa
leather. 1 viii say. however. that soft
water Is one of the main requisites
needed In its production. Hard and
braclosh water could not be used
Apart from this, an auxiliary system
Is not practical in a city OF this size
II would be better 10 buy an the wate
rights along the Brandywine. In ml
opinion this could be done for les
imoney than At would cost to establisl
a system TO supply factories with un
filtered water. The interest on thl
lamount expended in the construction O
lsuch a system would exceed the receipt
as new pumping stations would have q
be constructed. A new system OF dis
ltributing mains laid and a distrihutin
basin erected. If all the manufacturin
lplants in the city We've in a bunch, al
lauxliary system would be an right, bu
as they are scattered all over the cits
Ito reach them 81 would be nocessar
to run the water through the town fror
one end to the other No ! don't thin
much OF the scheme"
BRANDYWINE THE MAGNET
Superintendent william c. Blatz. Z
the +. Bumenthal Company, is of th
same opinion as General Postes con
lcegning the necessity of having SOD
water to insure the successful manu-
facture of leather. He said that az wa
on account of the soft water Of IA
lBrandywine that the leather industr
IN Wilmington was so large.
''The foreign matter IN the Brandy
wine" said Mr.. Blatz, IS more henehcil
than deleterions in the manufacture {
leather and any change from Nh
present system of water supply woul
- be harmful. Tide water Is too filth
and brackish and If we were con-
PEELED to use It there would have to z
an entirely new beginning I'm the pro
cess of the manufacture OF morocco.
