POSED BLACKBIRD- -SASSAFRAS ROUTE.

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Commission, comprised of Gen. Felix
Agnus, chairman; Major G. AT. Flag
ler, U. S. A., and Engineer F. 7.
Chambers, U. S. N, left Wilmington
on government steamer Friday to
make an inspection of the proposed
ship canal along the Sassafras River
route. The boat ran down as far as
Liston's Point at the Cummin's farm
in Thoroughfare Neck, close to the
Delaware shore, where an examination
was made of Blackbird Greek and other
available outlets, and then rode to
Port Penn in an automo bile and ex-
amined the inside of the outlets. Next
they took run from Taylor's Bridge
over the Sassafras route via Black
bird, crossing the projected route sew
eral times. They decided upon all of
the field work, such as lines, levels
aud borings on the Sassafras route,
this detail having already been ar
ranged with respect TO the present
canal route. It was arranged to have
a party of engineers begin this work
early this week. Assistant United
States Engineer Miller will be in
charge and Martin G.. Moore of Odessa
will have charge of men in the field.
Major Flagler says he does not know
how long it will take to make the bOr-
ings as they are an uncertain quantity
and he cannot tell when the work will
be completed The commission will
hold series of open meetings this
week in Wilmington, Baltimore ant
New York According to an editoria
in the Philadelphia North American
the opposition to the canal will come
from the various railroads, but the
paper declares that the canal should
be built, pointing out that it will no
only be invaluable from a military
point of view, but that it will give
cheap means of transportation and will

the status of the stream declare this
great food fish will be exterminated

missioners of Pennsylvania have taken
up the matter and may carry it before
the Legislature of that State, and it
has been suggested that the same
thing be done here in order to have
the two states cooperate in their efforts
to preserve the shad. The best means
to protect the fish, it is said, is to pass
a law providing for a longer closed
season, larger mesh for all gill nets,
a closer supervision over all other forms
of nets, and to regulate the pollution

MINISTERS DROP sUNDAYTRAIN AGITATION
Could Not Get Enough Support and Being Short
of Funds the Project Has Been Abandoned

Discouraged by the lack of support
given their agitation against the rum
ming of trains on Sunday on the Della
ware division of the P. B. & w. Rail
road, the ministers OF the State have
abandoned the project and all hope of
having this alleged desecration of the
Sabbath by the railroad company
stopped. This was the statement
made yesterday by the Rev. A. w.
Lightbourne, the minister who is at
the head of the movement. He was in
Wilmington for a short visit and
talked freely about the matter. He
stated that the petitions sent by the
ministers to General Manager W. w.
Atterbury had never been answered
and in fact no attention paid to them.
The churches of the State had not re-
sponded as generously to. help defray
the legal expenses if the case had been
taken to court and the ministers them
selves did not feel able to put up the
money. DIR Lightbourne stated that
in view of all these obstacles the agita
tion had been dropped. When asked
if it would be taken up later he said it
might be handled in a quiet way but
not publicly Wilmington Evening

WANT TO NAME DEvIsADERO
STREET FUNSTON AVENUE
Petition Signed by Fifty Property
Owners and Residents Is Received
by the Superyisors

Change Devisadero street to Funston
avenue! That's what some of the prop
erty-owners and residents of the street
want to do. Some fifty of them filed
petition to that effect with the
Board of Supervisors.
Devisadero is Spanish word and
means dividing line. This name was
given to the street in the early SOS
because In 1851 the charter line of the
city of San Francisco on the west was
1877 feet west of Devisadero street
The county of San Francisco at that
time included the present city of San
Francisco and San Mateo County. By
the consolidation act of 1856 San Fran
cisco as at present consolidated be-
came the city and county of San Fran
cisco, while San Mateo was formed into
separate county. In 1852 by order
$40 Of the Board of Supervisors Devisa-
dero was accepted as a city street
from Lewis to Ridley.
The petition states that in view Of
the work of General Funston during
the late disaster this honor is due him

PICTURE MAY AID
INVESTIGATION.
Photo Found at Carville
Likely to Lend a Clew
in the Assault Case

While the address of the woman In
Fruitvale. Miss A. Mathews, and the
photograph which were found in con-
nection with some papers in the house
IN Carville where II. c. Langreuter
was mysteriously assaulted, have not
yet given any clew to the Identity Of
the mans assailants. those who are
trying to clear up the mystery will
determine, If possible. what bearing
they have on the affair.
Langreuter's condition prevents his
being allowed to see the newspapers.
When he is stronger he will probably
be asked IL he can associate the photo
graph with the strang woman in black
who was seen to enter the house where
he was injured shortly before he
emerged from it.
Friends of Langreuter say positively
that the writing on the notebook leaf
found with the picture and woman's
address is not that of the injured man.
The nature of the entries on 1t indi-
Gates that the paper has been the
property of some one engaged IN the
sand and cement business. probably
teamster who delivers material of that
kind.
At the top of the page of the note
book leaf is written the date July 5,
1906. the day previous to the assault
Below are some entrieS concerning
sand and cement. Below the name or
"Grouten, g." is the following entry:
~ barrels cement. barrels sand"
Further down the page is the name
of FILLS. Co." and another entry con-
cerning sand and cement.
The police are inclined to think that
Frank Goewey, who rents a small
house near that in which the assault
took place. could throw some light on
the matter If he would. Goewey told
the detectives when they questioned
him that he was in Oakland the day of
the trouble and was not at his beach
house.

house where Langreuter was injured
and which bears the date OF the as
sault is somewhat soiled on one aide,

Langreuter has not yet passed the
danger stage, so far as his injuries are
concerned. and fever has given his
friends some uneasiness. He still ex-
pectorates blood, which indicates in
ternal injuries. The hospital authori-
ties declare he will recover.
